Tips #1 - Paint Care

Automatic car washes are quick and convenient, but most of them use coarse brushes and cloths to clean the car. In the long run, this wears out the top layer of paint and causes light surface scratches all over the car. As far as possible, manual wash the car yourself or better still, send the car for a professional grooming.

Use only purpose-made car wash detergents as they are formulated not to strip the layer of protective wax on the paint. Household detergents leave the car squeaky-clean but they do this by removing wax as well as dirt, thereby leaving the paint exposed to the elements.

If you’re washing the car immediately after driving it, do the wheels and tyres last. Splashing cold water on the brake discs inside the wheels can cause them to warp, leading to expensive repair bills later on.

Waxing the car every two to three months does wonders for protecting the paint work.
