How To Maintain The Body of Your Car

Is your car’s body showing signs of rusting? Maintaining your car is essential to increase its resale value and also ensure that it serves you for long. It is not only the yearly or interim car services that you should be worried about, but you should also take regular car wash in consideration too. Car wash and body maintenance is a neglected concept that has lost its authenticity over time. But when it comes to preventing your car against rusting at the initial stages, a car wash can prove out to be a boon.

To help you with the maintenance of the body of your car, we offer you the following tips:

Car wash:

Washing your car doesn’t take much of your time. It also does not cost a fortune like the rust cleaning. To wash your car, make sure to buy a soft car shampoo and use a hose for cleaning. It is recommended that you should not use cheap liquids to wash your car. Such liquids contain salts that can harm your vehicle and corrode the paint even more. When you are washing your car, clear the dirt and grime that is stuck at the lower body of the car first. It is where your car demands more attention than any other part. Take a sponge to skin your car off of the dirt and road grime.

Rinsing correctly:

The most dangerous thing to a car is a trace of shampoo left on it. Use a hose to remove each and every bit of the shampoo that is left on your car. While drying your car, make sure no water is stuck in its corners. You can take the assistance of leather to rinse your car and dry it off accordingly. While Rinsing, pay special attention to the scratches. Get them polished before they cause major and visible damages on the body.

Polish your car thoroughly:

Before polishing your car, ensure that all of the water is rinsed properly. Take the polish on a rag and rub it gently on the surface of your car. Don’t use a cheap polish, and buy only high-end products that are available in the market. Rub the surface till you are not satisfied with the finish. Take another soft cloth and remove the polish in order to complete the job. Once you are done, have a concentrated last look to see if you have left any area that needs attention or not. You should also avoid direct sunlight while polishing your car as it may dry it up. Dried up polish is hard to remove and will take a lot of effort and time.

After body-wash care:

When you are done with the basics of everything, lubricate the joints in your car. You can take  the lubricant and apply it on the hinges of boot, door and bonnet.
