Keeping your car’s bodywork in the best condition possible is very important. When you come to sell your car good bodywork can make it sell more quickly. When buyers see a car with perfect bodywork they automatically believe that the car has been well cared for in other ways. The resale or trade in value of a car with good bodywork is significantly higher than that for a car with mediocre bodywork. Before putting your car up for sale get it professionally valeted doing so makes a big difference to how easily you will sell it. Not caring for your bodywork leads to more chips and scratches, which over time results in rust. Once rust has got a hold the cost of repairing it is very high, so it makes sense not to allow it to get a hold.
During the summer, sun is the biggest enemy if you live in a hot climate park your car in the shade or in a garage. When shade is not available, put your car under a cover. It is important that you use the right type of cover, i.e. a cover that is designed to cope with extreme temperatures. To protect the interior of your car in hot climates get your windows tinted too.
In the winter, salt on the roads if left on your car causes corrosion. As soon as there is a break in the weather, hose the salt off of your car, including underneath the car. If during the summer you have waxed your car at least twice this will help to protect your car against the effects of salt.
Treating your car with a good quality sealant will reduce stone chips and micro scratches. If you then wax your car at least 3 times a year you will build up an effective protective layer, and be able to keep a good shine on your car. Be careful to choose a sealant and wax that is suitable for the weather conditions where you live. Using a sealant not designed for extreme temperatures when you need it can end up damaging your paintwork.
Most people are very busy, so use car washes to keep their cars clean. This is not a good idea, if you want to keep your car in good condition. Brush car washes leave tiny scratches on your car and jet washes do not get all of the dirt off. The only way to clean your car properly is with a bucket and soapy water.
