Follow these tips and your car will stay looking new for miles down the road.
Regularly washing your car is perhaps the best way to protect the paint job. Use a high-quality automotive soap and apply it with a foam sponge using straight lines, not circular motions. Rinse with clean water.
Properly drying your car after a wash is vital to taking care of the paint job. Allowing the car to air dry leaves behind minerals from the water, which can be harmful to the paint. Dry your car with a microfiber towel. Bathroom towels, paper towels, and rags can leave behind tiny scratches that over time cause paint to erode.
Wax provides a protective seal on top of the paint that guards against dirt, dust, pollution, water, and other harmful substances. Wax can also cover up small scratches and other minor blemishes.
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are not only dangerous for your skin, but also for your car’s paint job. Sunlight can oxidize and fade the paint on your car, making it look much older than it actually is.
Whenever possible, park your car in the shade or under a covered space. Doing so will add years to the life of your paint job.
Synthetic coating, or paint sealant, is an alternative to wax that bonds and permeates to the pores of your car’s paint to form a protective seal. Synthetic coating lasts longer than wax and can be applied just as easily.
