You’ve purchased a brand new car (or new to you), and need to keep your car looking beautiful. Regular, exterior cleaning helps preserve the paint, trim and overall finish by removing dirt and grime. Beyond the initial eye test, regular maintenance helps preserve the value of your investment. Here’s a few tips from our experts to help keep your car looking great.
1. Consult with the Xpel experts at MDM. With a storied history in the industry, and North Carolina residents, we know the roads like the back of our hand. With extensive knowledge, we recommend XPEL paint protection film and ceramic coating. The strength of this combination work together, keeping your vehicle looking its best while protecting it from everyday wear. XPEL paint protection film (PPF) is a durable, self-healing, clear layer of polyurethane. A thin but mighty shield, protects your paint from rock chips, scratches, road debris, and environmental damage, while maintaining a clear, glossy finish. In addition, ceramic coating adds an additional layer of protection by bonding to the paint. The ceramic creates a slick surface that repels water, dirt, and contaminants while enhancing shine. Together, the line of XPEL products helps reduce maintenance, and protect the value of your investment. In our expert opinion, of course.
2. Wash at least once per week. Wash your vehicle regularly to keep dirt, dust, and road grime from building up on the paint. Pro Tip: to reduce swirl marks on the paint, use a twisted loop, micro fiber towel. These can be found on Amazon or other online retailers. A simple routine, and proper care help preserve the finish and keep your vehicle looking clean and well cared for.
3. Vacuum your upholstery. Vacuum the interior regularly to remove dirt, sand, crumbs, and debris that collect in carpets and seats. Keeping the interior clean protects upholstery and prevents build-up that can wear down materials. A quick vacuum helps maintain a tidy cabin and a more comfortable ride for you and your guests.
4. Quick check-ups. Overall maintenance is key, with a check of fluid levels, tire pressure, and basic vehicle systems. Address small issues early and follow the manufacturer’s service recommendations. Consistent upkeep helps your vehicle perform reliably and keeps it in great condition for years to come.
