No doubt about it if you maintain your car's appearance not only do you look finer when you drive down the street proudly in vehicle, but also when it comes time for trade in not only will your car command a higher trade in value, but as well will be more desirable by the dealer or a private purchaser that is if you sell your auto yourself privately.
Ultraviolet light - U.V. light, can cause in chemical terms oxidation. Oxidation, in chemical terms, can be explained a chemical breakdown in paint pigments. You may well have noticed the results of harmful chemical oxidation on appearance of your Ford F150 FX4 XTR truck which you drive proudly.
The results of oxidation of a previously shiny and beautiful auto finish are obvious for all or most to see. First the paint finish will present with a dull chalky appearance. Look for "crazing" - that is a maze of hair like cracks on metallic or refinished surfaces which can occur when paint shrinks under the hot summer sun. Crazing is especially common in hot climates such as Florida residents or even visiting tourists encounter. Lastly add in bird dropping - or bird do do which can permanently stain your car's paint and finish if not wiped off or cleaned off more than promptly. You never know when someone in Manitoba will be shopping for a good used low km truck in Vancouver. Not only that. First impressions count most. Any person involved in out shopping for the opposite sex or involved in a sales related position will tell you that , no doubt.
What are the basic steps of washing your auto? First Park the car in the shade. Second using a garden hose and plenty of cold water, rinse the entire exterior surface of your auto. Third comes the "car washing'. Fourthly the rinse off. If you have been using detergent to wash your car, it is very important to use the hose fully, or alternatively several full pails of clean water and clean towels to rinse each and every panel or section as you go along. You will find that by the time you have finished washing and rinsing your complete car , as well as complexly rinsing each and every section of your vehicle fully, that most cars , not unlike dinner plates in a dishwasher , will be "spotty" and "spotted" - that is water spotted. What to do - rinse your car again and follow the chamois drying instructions in the last paragraph below.
Lastly it is not only your vehicle's exterior which keeps you traveling down the highways and byways easily, comfortably and reliably. No doubt about it that your car, truck or SUV takes an ongoing beating and pounding day in day out. Make it a regular and ongoing point to conduct ongoing and regular maintenance checks. Professional semi trailer drivers do it as a matter of course and habit and so should you. Check fluid levels for battery, brakes, steering and transmission. Of course check the level of your engine oil and change it regularly according to your vehicle's manufacturer and your auto's drivers and owner's manuals. If it doubts double check at the service or sales dept of your local authorized automobile dealership. Inspect your engine's hoses and belts for wear, tears and rips. Have these replaced if necessary. Check the air pressures of your tires. If you are unfamiliar again visit the service department of your local auto dealer or a local tire shop. They will be only too happy to assist you. Lastly change air filters - both engine and cabin if dirty or clogged. Preventative maintenance is always safer, less stressful and ultimately less costly and expensive on the auto ownership budget.
