Whether you own a shiny new electric vehicle or a gorgeous vintage model, maintaining your car’s paintwork will ensure it looks fantastic all year round. What’s more, keeping the paint fresh will protect any underlying metal from rust and corrosion, therefore extending your car’s lifespan. What’s not to love?
If you are wondering where to start with paint job maintenance, Anderson Auto Body is here to help. We’ve listed some handy tips below, as well as information about our friendly services.
1. Wash your car regularly
We know it can be tempting to put off washing your car. In a recent survey, 10% of Americans admitted they couldn’t remember the last time they’d cleaned their car.
However, leaving dust, bird droppings, and other materials to sit on your car for long periods can degrade the paintwork. We recommend washing your car with a pH-balanced car shampoo and a soft sponge to avoid stripping any wax or sealants. You should also dry your car thoroughly using a microfiber towel.
2. Park wisely
Try to avoid parking under trees and in direct sunlight. UV rays, tree sap, and bird droppings can corrode the paint and alter its color. Look for parking garages or carports when possible.
3. Repair paint problems swiftly
Even minor chips and scratches in your car’s paintwork can expose its metal to moisture and air. Over time, this can lead to unsightly rust. If you are unsure how to touch up paint yourself, the experts at Anderson Auto Body can quickly restore your vehicle to its former glory. Just get in touch!
4. Schedule professional detailing services
One of the best ways to keep your car in top-notch condition is to book professional detailing services, including deep cleaning and advanced protection. At Anderson Auto Body, we offer premium detailing, including washing, claying, polishing, sealing, and waxing.
