If you want your car to look as good as new, then keeping the exterior clean and sparkling is a must. You may think it is as simple as taking your vehicle to a drive-thru carwash but giving it a thorough hand wash will give better results and leave your car gleaming. Although it may take longer, the effort you put in will show on the outside.
Firstly, by using a good wax on your car you can help to protect your car's paintwork and in the long run this will help to minimise the risk of rust and help your car to hold its value. Apply the wax as thinly as possible in circular motions using a soft microfibre cloth. Polishing your vehicle by hand will ensure that you get a streak-free finish however you must avoid applying wax to your windows and windscreen as this can leave your car looking dirtier than when you started.
A good wax will make your car gleam and it can make any car look expensive and new. Many people don't realise that just by waxing your bumpers you can make them look as good as new too. There would be no point in making most of your car sparkling but leaving out the bumpers and wheels, so ensure you pay attention to every inch of your vehicle, using a coloured polish on bumpers to restore them to the black they once were.Keep your wheels looking brand new by using a good cleaner and polish: if you have alloy wheels use a specialist alloy cleaner for the most professional finish on best effect. Take extra care to get them dazzling and your car will not only look new but also more expensive and desirable.
Manually washing your cars exterior can be time consuming but a good pressure washer can speed up the process and leave your car as clean as can be. If you find that you regularly need to clean your car then investing in a pressure washer is a smart move. You can get them relativity cheaply so you won't have to break the bank to keep your car as clean as possible. Pressure washers are also available to rent for those who don't want to invest.
Finally, remember that the prouder you are of your car, the more likely you are to keep it clean, in great condition and based on this, it might be worthwhile investing in a great quality new or used car that you can be proud of for many years. Car loans and used car finance can help to make your dream car affordable.
If you have neglected your car in the past why not look at getting a great deal on car loans and benefit from the credit. You can also get used car finance and keep it looking brand new.
