Park in the garage or under a carport whenever possible. U.V rays and other conditions from Mother Nature can be very harmful to your automobiles finish.
I know this is Oregon, but try not to park under trees. Tree sap and bird droppings can be very acidic and can permanently damage your automobiles paint. Always wash as soon as possible after being exposed to these elements.
Stay away from sprinklers. Whether at home or at work water sitting and drying on your car especially if it’s warm can cause severe water spotting. Removing mineral deposits can be very difficult.
Proper hand washing is best. Brushless car washes are o.k. Machine car washes can leave scratches in your cars finish. I do not recommend machine car washes.
Regular vacuuming and dusting of your interior will keep dirt from getting ground in , prematurely wearing your upholstery.
It’s a good idea to have a regular maintenance plan with the ULTIMATE AUTO DETAIL. Just like changing your oil. It will keep the value of your automobile up and looking great.
