It’s your car, and you love it. But let’s face it: your car only looks as good as its paint does. This is why preserving your car’s paint job is so important. No one wants to drive a vehicle that’s riddled with scratches, dings and splotches. There are indeed a few things you can do to make your vehicle’s paint job last longer. Follow these steps to make sure your car is as lustrous as ever!

Splurge on Professional Detailing

Splurging on a high-quality detail for your car is just good practice. You may be doing a fine job of the waxing and washing all on your own, but the power of professionals to remove grime can’t be disputed. They have access to things we simply don’t. For this reason, and many others, opt for detailing to keep your car’s paint job good as new.

Wax Twice Per Year

You may have been skipping the waxing during your past few car washes, and that’s fine. But doing so may not be doing your car’s paint job any favors. Applying high-quality wax during the spring and fall seasons can help protect your car’s paint against sunlight and other possible sources of harm. Consider this twice-annual waxing as your car’s saving grace.

Keep it Covered

This may sound like common sense, but your car’s paint is deteriorating because of the elements. While you can’t do much to impact the weather, you can most certainly take precautions. Keeping your car in a garage, or under shade whenever possible is one of the best things you can do to preserve its paint job. You can even opt for a cloth car cover for extra caution.
