Try Parking in the Shade

Sometimes it's easier to park under the sun because there's no better option available. Still, with the current temperature changes, it's best to refrain from that practice for a while. UV rays harm everything the sunlight touches; it's common knowledge. Yet, a not-so-well-known fact is the chemical changes that the car's paint experiences with prolonged sun exposure. For example, the car's body layout can also be a subject of damage when the paint cracks or peels off due to sun exposure.

Treat Blemishes and Scratches ASAP

Don't forget that the paint is a protective layer for the car's surface. So, even if the blemishes are tiny, you wouldn't want them peeling off the bodywork's layers. Scratches spread as cavities do, and a small mark can extend broadly when left untreated. As a result of neglect, the bodywork will experience a quicker rusting process.

Choose Softer Instruments in the Washing Routine

Long gone are the days of using a dry cloth for quick dust off the vehicle, which is actually a habit that can scratch the bodywork. Also, if you ever need to swipe the dust from your car, use wet microfiber cloths and sponges instead of dry ones. Keeping your car clean is challenging if you have little time to spare. Read the pointers below to create a washing routine that works for you and upgrade your car paint maintenance game.

Keep the Car Looking Shiny

Applying wax adds a protective seal to the car's bodywork. For starters, this product is a thin film that covers the paint from dust, moisture, and dirt while improving its appearance. You can apply it once every two months and keep the car looking pristine. Then, take it up a notch by opting for Teflon car wax to ensure a waterproof finish.

Humans need nutrients to live; the same concept applies to your vehicle. Hence, feeding your car with suitable boosters keeps it operating correctly. Call Select Synthetics in Geraldton at (807) 853-0807 and optimize your car's performance with synthetic oil products. Or, visit the AMSOIL website and discover all the formulas at your disposal.

Don't Forget to Polish the Car

With a new season about to start, you shouldn't forget to make time to polish the car! This step is the cherry on top of the car paint maintenance for the spring months. When done correctly, you can get rid of scratches and revitalize the car's appearance by applying a thin coat of polish. Yet, you must do this task with great care to avoid mishandling products.

Dust Is Bad News for Your Car's Paint

The car's surface encounters pollutants that most drivers wouldn't even imagine. These residues go from dust to acidic debris and even corrosive bird droppings. Still, there's no need to fret about it! A fortnightly wash will suffice to keep the car spotless and avoid dust accumulation. Remember, it's okay to care about your car's appearance, but it shouldn't be your only motivation to keep it in optimal shape.

Don't Even Bother with Stickers

There's no denying that stickers are amusing expressions of quiet humor. That being said, you should know that most of them have a corrosive adhesive that could harm the car's paint. You can do without stickers and decals, but if you still want to plaster these onto your car, pick ones with a gentle adhesive.

Not All Wax Formulas Are Created Equally

If there's only one takeaway to keep in mind from this post, it should be this one. Please research the results of the wax formula you want to get before you buy it. As mentioned earlier, wax and polish will deliver a glossy finish to the car. However, the efficacy of these products can vary from brand to brand and in the formulation.

AMSOIL's Miracle Wash Waterless Wash and Wax Spray is a terrific alternative to old waxing balms. Plus, it doesn't require soap, making its application quick and convenient.
