Caring for your car, inside and out

A car’s body and paint can take a real beating out there in the elements. From the heat of the summer to the harsh colds and extremes in winter, paint has to handle a lot.

The fact is, you want to protect the finish of your vehicle. You paid good money for that car. Not only are you proud of it, you want it to look good and provide a representation of your own standard of excellence.

A major part of protecting the shine and finish of your vehicle’s paintwork is making sure it is washed thoroughly and regularly. Keeping the car clean helps the paint maintain its vibrant finish, year-in and year-out.

What about the wheels? When it comes to your vehicle’s maintenance and safety, your wheels and tires have the most important jobs.

More than that, you want your wheels and tires to look good. It’s unfortunate that wheels and tires are often the most overlooked when it comes to proper car care. Not only do poorly maintained tires look bad, under inflated or worn tires are a safety hazard.

Proper consideration must also be given to your windshield and wipers. Never take these for granted. It’s vitally important that your windshield remains clean through the seasons, especially considering how wet and volatile they’ve been of late.
