Protecting Your Chevrolet’s Exterior Tips
Regular Car Washes
Allowing grime and dirt to sit on your Chevrolet vehicle for long periods of time can lead to paint damage. The damage can be as small as a duller look overall or as bad as erosion, which can lead to frame damage down the line. Regular car washes make it easy to take care of your Chevrolet’s paint job. You can either take your vehicle to a car wash while you are out running other errands or you can take on the job yourself with a bucket of soapy water and a rag. Some car washes even offer subscription services, so you can take your vehicle regularly with a prepaid plan.
Only Use Vehicle Safe Products
It is important that when cleaning the exterior of your Chevrolet vehicle, you are only using products that are safe for vehicles. If you are taking on the car wash yourself, make sure you are using car safe soap rather than dish soap as it can damage your paint job. You also need to make sure that you are using a rag or cloth that is soft and won’t scratch the paint like those made specifically for detailing or are made out of microfiber.
Spot Clean between Washes
We all know how annoying it is to come out of the store and see that a bird has pooped on your freshly clean Chevrolet vehicle or come out to your car, ready to leave for work and it is covered in pollen. While these things may seem like minor inconveniences, they can actually damage your Chevrolet’s paint if not taken care of quickly. To avoid any paint damage. Make sure that you clean off the bird droppings and pollen as soon as possible with a quick spot clean.
Regular Vehicle Waxes
Did you know that there is a clear coating over your Chevrolet’s paint job to help protect for the elements and maintain its shiny appearance? You can further protect your vehicle’s paint job with an additional layer of wax to fight the rain and warm sun that you find in the great state of Florida. We suggest that you wax your vehicle at least two times a year, however, if you do not park in a covered area or in a garage, we recommend that you wax your vehicle a few more times a year to maintain that sparkle with ease.
