The day we buy our new car, we always tell ourselves we’re going to try our very best to take complete care of it, and make sure it always looks as good as new. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen a lot of the time. Sometimes there are damages caused to our car that we have no way of helping, but putting the unpreventable things aside, your car may not be remaining as good as new because you are going the wrong way about it.
Here at Project Customs, we are always hearing the horror stories about how customer’s vehicles have gotten damaged through the basic rookie mistakes, which could have been avoided. So here is a short and simple guide to guarantee your car to remain looking as good as new!
Step 1: Waxing goes a long way
Looking to bring out your vehicles paint job? Waxing beautifies the overall appearance of your vehicle, as well as protecting the paint from further irritants that may reduce to attractiveness and value of your vehicle! We recommend waxing your vehicle at least once every 3-4 months to keep it looking as good as new, but it can vary depending on the activity of the vehicle.
Step 2: Keep it washed
This might sound like an obvious one, but many people do not clean their vehicle frequently enough to keep it protected from what it is exposed to and looking brand new. The exposure of your vehicle to unpreventable factors such as nature is dependent on the circumstance of location and climate, so if there is a high volume of exposure, we recommend cleaning your vehicle just once a week. If your vehicle is lucky enough to be protected from exposure, once every other week would be enough.
Step 3: Be more considerate when parking
Have you ever thought that you may benefit more from parking a little bit further away from your destination for the sake of not putting your car at as much risk? Parking close by to other cars increases the likeliness of other vehicles banging their door into yours, meaning more dents, chips and scratches! So instead, maybe think about parking your car a bit further away from the busier spots of the car park, even if it means you walking a little bit longer.
But as mentioned, you can be as careful as possible with protecting your vehicle, however its never always 100% protected from any damage.
