Caring for the Inside and Outside of your Car

Caring for you car also includes taking making sure the interior and exterior of your care is in good condition:

Exterior Care

• A good hand wash of your vehicle is necessary - take the time to check out the condition of your paint while you're washing and make note of any chips or scratches and apply touch-up paint on any minor damage to prevent rust from forming!
• In the summer, spray the salt and dirt out of your wheel wells ( a favorite hiding spot for rust) and repair any rust if necessary.
• A good waxing is great for your car's exterior paint after winter.
• Check the windshield for stone chips or cracks. It often isn't necessary to replace the entire windshield, just repair the chips.
• Replace worn out wiper blades.
  

  Interior Care

• Give the vinyl in your car a good cleaning with a vinyl treatment products to help protect against drying or cracking.
• Clean your windows inside and out for visibility.
• Check under your car's rug for rust - oftentimes this is neglected and rust forms without being noticed.
