Wash Your Vehicle Regularly
Washing your vehicle regularly can help remove harmful debris that can damage the paint of your car, ultimately resulting in rust and other damage. We recommend washing your vehicle in a shaded area, typically in the morning or evening to reduce the intensity of the sun. If your vehicle has been heated in the sun, we recommend allowing it to cool first. The hotter it is outside and your vehicle is, the harder it will be to effectively clean your vehicle.
Protect Your Vehicle
Along with washing your vehicle, providing protectants can also be highly important. We recommend using rubber and vinyl protectant to get door moldings, window moldings, trim, mirrors and even wires. When applying, wait for it to be absorbed (surfaces should look and feel dry), then with a clean rag, wipe the parts down again.
Wax Your Vehicle
Did you know that waxing your vehicle can actually protect the paint and finish? Waxing your vehicle provides an additional seal for the vehicle, providing extra protection from UV, insects, bird droppings and even salt. Waxing also leaves the vehicle looking shiny and new. We recommend waxing your vehicle every 6 to eight weeks.
