Car wash
Look, we know this one might seem a little obvious, even to someone who isn’t fully aware of what a car needs. But car washes are a key element to keeping the exterior of your Chevy in excellent condition. You might be wondering why, and we would be happy to tell you. When you are driving around, just going about your business, whether it’s the highway or back roads, your vehicle is picking up different environmental dusts and dirt that cling to the exterior. Over time these different environmental factors can start to eat away at the paint, and even cause dulling. When you wash your car, you are removing that dirt and grime, and keeping the exterior shiny and clean, without that dulling that is common to see.
Avoid direct sunlight
While this might start to sound like your Chevy is some sort of vampire, the fact of the matter is, nothing is more damaging to the exterior of your vehicle than UV rays. Just like you need added protection when you’re outside in the sun, your own model could use the same sort of thing. The easiest thing to do is park in a garage if you have one, buy a car cover that you can bring with you anywhere, or even just park in the shade if you are able to. Sun has a habit of bleaching out paint of vehicles, and while that could be good with someone that you want to be bleached out, that isn’t good for the paint of a vehicle. Avoid paying the costs of an ugly paint job by trying to dodge the sun to the best of your abilities.
Use car products
When it comes to cleaning anything, we know that you absolutely have plenty of cleaning supplies inside of your house. We want to tell you right now that you should only be using car-specific cleaning products to wax, clean, and detail your vehicle. Otherwise, you could be scratching your vehicle, destroying the paint, and causing damage that will cost you a lot of money to fix. So don’t take any changes, spend the extra money, or perhaps use the service center of your choosing to do the work for you!
