subject: Choosing the right cleaning method for your brand new Volkswagen [print this page] If you have recently bought or leased a new Volkswagen then you may be over protective of it, after all you've paid a lot of money for the latest model and you want to make sure that it always looks brand new.
So what can you do? How exactly should you look after your Volkswagen so as to ensure it doesn't get damaged and so that all dirt is removed? It's a hard question to answer.
Well let's go through some of the major tips for cleaning your Volkswagen and then you can form an opinion about which option you prefer.
1) Don't go to automatic car washes. Automated car washes are not manufactured to thoroughly or safely wash your car as they are manufactured to let as many cars through in the fastest time possible. It's all about profit. You should also take note that they rollers could potentially inflict damage to your car by ripping off pieces of the trim, breaking wing mirrors, radio aerials and spoilers. So it could be a good idea to try out another cleaning technique.
2) What about a hand car wash? A hand car wash may offer a more thorough job than automated car washes but unfortunately they too suffer similar disadvantages. Hand car washes, like automated car washes are not necessarily designed to clean your vehicle safely whilst achieving top quality results. Also if you clean your Volkswagen yourself you aren't very likely to have the knowledge to clean it to a professional standard and are likely to scratch it.
3) You should consider using a valet service. If you go to your local Volkswagen dealer then they could have their own valet service, if they do, it would be a good choice to make use of it. If not, then they may be affiliated with a valet service or may be able to help you to find a reputable service to use. Ideally you should use a service that specialises in Volkswagen cleaning but these are usually hard to find. Therefore you might have to settle for a generic valet service.
4) What level of service can you expect? The various car cleaning services that are available include interior detailing and shampoo, upholstery and fabric cleaning, leather treatment, full hand wash and vacuum cleaning, window tinting, windshield repair, rust proofing, polishing, paint protection, engine cleaning and dent removal. Having the knowledge of what services are available means that you can make informed requests and it ensures that you get what you paid for. It can also give you a sense of trust in the company, as you will know that they are professionals.
5) Shop around before making a decision. You need to talk to a couple of valet firms so that you can scrutinise their charges and services and select the one that offers the most. It is crucial that you do this as you want to get a great experience from your Volkswagen, so it is important to get value for your money.
Making good use of car cleaning services will make sure that your car is maintained in great condition and that you travel in luxury and comfort, which is precisely what you want if you have recently taken out a Golf leasing deal.
