How often have you heard, “Oh, the rain will wash the car for me” or “Why bother washing when it will get dirty again?”
Well, we believe that caring for your car’s paintwork is as important as regular servicing. Our car’s engine oil needs to be changed periodically, did you also know that our car’s paintwork have to be waxed periodically?
New engine oil has better lubricating and protective qualities. So does a new coat of wax, periodic polishing and waxing not only helps to maintain a healthy shine on the paint, it also prevents the need for a costly respray in the future.
Today’s event will demonstrate to you the five basic steps of paint care that can be easily practiced by anyone!
Five Steps of Paint Care
Step 1: Washing
Washing the car removes loose contaminants from the paint such as road grime, traffic film and bird droppings.
It is best to use a pH-Neutral car shampoo as it will not harm the paint and is also gentle on waxes.
Using a wash mitt instead of a sponge or a cloth creates a buffer zone to prevent dirt and grit from scratching the paint during the wash.
Wash at least once a week to prevent contaminants and dirt from bonding to the paint which will require paint claying and polishing to remove.
