Whether you are driving around in a new or used Ford from Salisbury Ford, chances are you want to maintain your car and keep it looking as nice as possible. The exterior of your Ford will look best if you protect the paint finish. Any car with scratches and dings and dents in the paint will appear older, less valuable and simply not as nice! You can take the following steps to protecting your car's paint finish:
Keep Your Car Clean
If you prefer to use an automatic car wash, try to find one that offers a touch-free wash, so that the brushes and sponges of the standard automatic car wash doesn't cause scratches. If you wash the car yourself, make sure to use sponges designed for the purpose and keep your fingernails, watches, rings or any other pointy or sharp objects away from the paint finish.
Protect with a Wax Finish
When using automatic, touch-free car washes, make the selection that includes the "protective finish" or "car wax" option. It may cost a $1 or so more than the standard wash, but it adds a protective layer to help prevent damage from road elements and weather conditions.
Make Small Repairs As Needed
If you see any paint damage on your car, such as a scratch or dent, being it into our Salisbury Ford dealership for repair. Making small repairs as they happen can prevent further damages and rust from forming.
