Jeeps are eye-catching, beautiful vehicles, and they often become collector’s items. You can preserve the looks of your Jeep with careful car washing. Butler Jeep car dealers have a few trade secrets for washing your Jeep the right way.
· For starters, avoid automatic brush car washes. These car washes can often cause scratches to appear on your paint job. If you must use an automatic car wash, a power spray car wash is preferable.
· When hand-washing your Jeep vehicle, be sure to rinse it to remove dirt and debris that could otherwise cause scratching.
· Washing your car regularly is the key to preserving its looks. Bird poo, dead insects, and the various spills and splatters your car will encounter will strip away at your car wax and eat at your paint job. Don’t wait for dirt and dust to accumulate; be proactive in washing.
· Be mindful of weather conditions. If you live in an area prone to acid rain, or if you live close to the beach, be sure to regularly rinse your vehicle, particularly after a rain storm.
· The cleaner you use is important. Avoid using dishwashing detergent or hand soap on your vehicle. These chemicals can strip off protective wax. Instead, use car wash formulas specifically made for this purpose. Also, use the right materials to scrub your car. Avoid old rags and t-shirts. Instead, use sponges and mitts designed for car wash work.
· Don’t wash your car when it’s hot. Heat makes washing more difficult, causing the soap to dry before you have a chance to rinse it.
