subject: DIY Detailing Tips from Richmond Nissan [print this page] Everybody loves a beautiful car but with frequent use, it doesn't take long for your Nissan to show just how much you drive. Eating on the run and just normal, everyday use can quickly result in your car looking less than perfect.
Since we want to save money but still want our Nissan to look its best, we need to maintain it with regular detailing of the do-it-yourself variety. Here are some tips for getting your Nissan back in top notch shape:
Regular Maintenance Necessary
When you use your Nissan for daily commutes, it can get dirty fast. Make sure you commit to cleaning out the vehicle at the end of each week. Regular vacuuming can help reduce the wear and tear on your floor mats and keep your Nissan smelling better.
Banish Brake Dust
The build up of greasy, black brake dust on your wheels needs to be regularly removed with a strong tire cleaner. During a regular wash, spray cleaner on the tires and wheel wells and use a clean cloth to remove grime. It may take some elbow grease to get the job done right but it will extend the life of your tires.
Wax and Other Protectants
Wax your Nissan at least once a month to protect the finish from the elements. Buy a quality wax as recommended by the staff at Richmond Nissan and follow the direction for the best finish. You also need to protect the interior of your Nissan from the heat, sun, and cold temperatures by spraying on a quality protectant that will prevent cracking, fading, and deterioration of the upholstery of your Nissan.
Professional Help
Once or twice a year you should schedule a professional appointment for a thorough detailing. Professional services in the Richmond area will tackle areas you may not have been able to effectively maintain on your own, especially when it comes to deep stains. They have the tools to bring your Nissan back to life and you can continue regularly detailing at home more successfully.
