A lot of car owners remember with fondness the first time they took their car out for a ride. They recall how shiny the hood looks, the engine’s quiet purring, and the softness of the seat.<\/p>\n

While most would love for their car to remain looking like it did when it first came out of the shop, some wear and tear are inevitable. Despite that, there are still things that drivers can do to keep their cars looking new.
\n
\nWASH YOUR CAR REGULARLY<\/strong>
\nRegularly giving your car a proverbial bath will help keep it looking new. Most car owners are too busy to wash their cars regularly. But if the vehicle is exposed to the elements on a daily basis, the dirt and grime will take a toll. Washing it once every week will help keep the car in good condition. But if your car is often parked in a closed garage, then washing it every two weeks is OK.<\/p>\n

WAX EVERY QUARTER<\/strong>
\nWaxing provides the car with some protection. As a rule, a car should be waxed every quarter or every 5,000 miles. Waxing should be done more frequently as the vehicle gets old. Aside from waxing, the paint job should also receive some polishing every year or every 15,000 miles.<\/p>\n

DON’T FORGET THE CAR SEATS<\/strong>
\nDrivers should not forget that car seats also need some TLC. The rule of thumb is that leather car seats should be conditioned every three months. However, you should also take into consideration factors like frequency of car use, the amount of sun it’s exposed to, and how often you have passengers. If these situations happen often, then check and condition seats every two months to keep it in shape.<\/p>\n

CLEAN THE ENGINE BAY<\/strong>
\nThe engine is a key component of your car, and cleaning it should be a priority. Washing it on a regular basis will keep your car running smoothly, almost like you just drove it out of the car dealer. Cars that are exposed to a lot of dirt, pollution, snow, or dust should have their engine bay cleaned every quarter.<\/p>\n

WINDOW TINTS HELP<\/strong>
\nTinting your car’s windows can help protect the interior and keep the damage caused by the sun’s UV rays to a minimum. Window tints can block out as much as 90% of UV rays, minimize glare and reduce heat and make the vehicle look good.<\/p>\n
