Car Care Tips
Just like the owner, each vehicle is very different. Proper care must be given to the paint on your vehicle to ensure it stands the test of time. If you are unsure or hesitant when it comes to properly cleaning your vehicle, you can visit us at The Auto Shoppe for a quick lesson, or use these few tips.
- Dirt and road grime should never be removed from your vehicle without using pressurized hot water.
- At the car wash:
- When using the soap brush, be sure to wash out the head of the brush first to remove excess dirt or rocks.
- After washing your vehicle use a high quality chamois or 100% cotton terry towel to remove excess water and eliminate unwanted water spots.
- Have a trained professional apply a resilient paint sealant and wax to your paint once a year. This will protect your paint from water spots, sun oxidation, eliminate fine scratches and remove any surface blemishes from your paint.
- Many vehicles have extra chrome and plastic accents which will tarnish over time if not properly cared for. These surfaces require extra materials such as chrome, aluminum, or magnesium polish and plastic trim conditioners.
Be sure to ask how we can improve all aspects of your vehicle.
