Three Ways to Show Your Car Some Love

Having invested time, energy and money into choosing and buying your new car, you’ll clearly want to put some effort into maintaining it. Which preventive measures make the most difference to keep your car looking new?

Protect the Paint

Shielding your car’s paint job with a professionally applied paint protection film prevents it from accumulating incidental scratches, chips and scrapes that add up to a lackluster exterior. Applying a protective film can be tricky to do well, meaning the results of expert application will likely leave you much happier than a do-it-yourself job.

Stop Stains

Moving from your car’s exterior to the interior, the single greatest impact you can make on your car’s appearance is protecting the upholstery. Treating your car’s seats with a fabric protectant like Scotchguard can prevent spills from turning into stains. Even the best fabric protectant is not a magic force field, however, and you’ll still need to clean up a spill as soon as you can. If you’re anxious to keep your upholstery pristine, you could opt for seat covers instead of—or in addition to—a fabric protectant.

Screen Out the Sun

You may think window tinting looks nice on a car, but it does more than that. Tinted windows do protect your car’s interior from fading, thus preserving its looks. However, window tint also offers practical benefits like cutting the need for air conditioning and reducing glare so you can drive more safely.
By taking a few steps to preserve its appearance and value, you can take pride in your vehicle for years to come.
