Just like your skin, the sun can affect your car’s paint. But the right maintenance routine can keep your new car looking like it just rolled off the dealership floor. As you go about your weekly routine look for a covered or sheltered parking whenever possible, this not only protects your car’s paint but also the headlights and rubber trim. Washing your car often, cleaning it of pollution and grime is the first step in preserving your paint’s finish.  Dry your car after each wash with a cotton cloth to protect your car’s paint from minerals left behind by water evaporation. Never scratch your car to remove splattered bugs or road tar, instead use an auto detailing clay bar. One of the most effective ways to keep your paint looking new is by waxing. Wax protects the paint from pit damage which can be caused by dirt and grit sticking to your vehicle.

So despite the sun’s heat your car can continue to glow with a wash, dry and glossy coat of wax.

Also, to protect your car from dust or outdoor elements, purchase a quality car cover from CoverQuest.com.
