Cleaning your vehicle is an important part of providing proper maintenance. Properly washing your vehicle’s exterior will help keep paint from deteriorating, which can impact its resale value. There’s a right and a wrong way to wash a vehicle, however, and cleaning your vehicle properly is important to preserving its looks. Butler Chrysler dealers have years of experience in keeping cars looking great, and they offer this advice:
· Don’t let gunk accumulate. If your car has dirt, tar, or other stains, get them off quickly. The longer your car is dirty, the more time various types of debris have to damage your paint. If there are chemicals or plant matter on your car, they can quickly ruin a paint job.
· Avoid car washes that use brushes. These car washes can damage the paint of some vehicles, particularly black vehicles.
· Don’t use a dirty sponge. Dirt and debris can accumulate on the sponge and harm your vehicle’s paint job.
· Use a separate sponge to clean your tires. Tires get a lot of gunk on them that you don’t want making contact with your Chrysler’s paint job.
· Do not hold a pressure washer too close to your vehicle. Holding the pressure washer nozzle too close to your new Chrysler may cause it to damage the paint. Keeping about 2-3 feet of distance is a good rule of thumb
