Tips for Keeping Vehicle Exterior Appearance at its Peak 

A great-looking vehicle does more than just leave a commanding presence on the road. It can help you enjoy the ride even more as you know that the vehicle you are riding in is at its peak condition. As such, knowing how to keep the exterior looking great all year round is a great way to also help the longevity of your vehicle’s paint and finish. The Thelen Auto Group in Bay City, MI, would like to help you with useful tips that we use with our personal vehicles to keep them looking their best. The best part is, all of these tips are quick and easy to implement on any weekend. 

How to Keep Your Vehicle’s Exterior Looking Great Every Day

Routine Washing – Leaving dirt, grime, and other debris on the outside of your vehicle doesn’t only make it look less than ideal. It can actually start damaging the paint and finish of your vehicle. As such, make it a habit to try and give your vehicle even a simple wash every week or every other week to keep your paint and finish vibrant as long as possible. 

Use Dedicated Automotive Cleaning Tools – Soaps, detergents, and wiping utensils that you would normally use around the house are not advised for use on the outside of a vehicle. They can cause scratching and paint fading with their various formulations. Therefore, it is highly advised to only use soaps that are specifically for automotive care. Also, consider investing in lint-free and microfiber towels to prevent scratches. 

Consider a Yearly Professional Cleaning Appointment – If you really want to go above and beyond in keeping your vehicle looking at its best, Thelen Auto Group is proud to offer expert detailing services. We can help give your vehicle the impressive finish that you know it deserves. Having a dedicated yearly appointment to have the exterior of your vehicle serviced by our trained professionals is a fantastic way to give your vehicle the proper care that it needs to stay at its best appearance.
