🚗✨ Top Tips for Keeping Your Paint Job Looking Fresh ✨🚗

Your car’s paint isn’t just about looks—it protects your vehicle from rust, sun damage, and everyday wear. Whether you just got a fresh paint job or want to preserve your factory finish, here are our top tips to keep that shine going strong:

🔹 Wash Regularly – Dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and bugs can eat away at your paint. Give your car a gentle wash every 1–2 weeks to prevent buildup.

🔹 Avoid Automatic Car Washes – Those spinning brushes may be fast, but they can leave swirl marks. Hand wash when possible, or choose touchless options.

🔹 Dry It Right – Letting it air dry can cause water spots. Use a soft microfiber cloth to dry your vehicle thoroughly after washing.

🔹 Wax Every Few Months – Wax adds a layer of protection and keeps that glossy finish. Aim for every 3–4 months.

🔹 Park Smart – Shade is your paint's best friend. Parking under trees? Be cautious of sap and bird mess—clean it off quickly!

🔹 Use Quality Products – Harsh cleaners can strip your paint. Always use products made for automotive surfaces.

💡 Pro Tip: If your vehicle's paint feels rough after washing, it may need a clay bar treatment to remove contaminants.
