Ways to Avoid Paint Surface Imperfections Part 2


3. Clear Bra (paint protection)

If you want to take extreme precaution in preventing swirls and scratches, clear bra is what you want. Clear bra is a great long term temporary protection to protect your car’s surface. Clear bra includes plastic wraps or vinyl adhesives on bumpers, mirror, and hood. Clear bra gives your car an additional layer of protection from swirl marks, rock chips, scratches, and other debris. Although the clear bra may get scratches on it, your paint will never get scratches. Clear bra is a great way to prevent surface scratches and swirls. Clear bra paint protection can be less expensive than repainting your car.

4. Take your car to a professional

If you are not able to properly hand wash or detail your car yourself let a professional do it. Incorrectly washing and detailing your car can create swirls or fine scratches on your car or it can make the scratches or swirls that are on your car worse. There are hand car washes that know how to correctly hand wash and detail cars to prevent or remove surface scratches and swirls.

Does Your Car Have Cloudy Headlights?




Does your car have cloudy headlights? Cloudy headlights affect the appearance of your car. It can make a car look older than what it is. Cloudy headlights also reduce the amount of visible light coming from your car’s headlights. Since there is a cloudy yellowish film over the headlights, the light coming from the headlights gets masked. Having cloudy headlights can be dangerous when driving at night and in foggy weather because it minimizes the distance of light from your headlights. Don’t drive around with cloudy headlights, it's a safety hazard.

Ways to Avoid Surface Imperfections


Surface imperfections like scratches and swirls can ruin the appearance of your car. There are a few effective ways you can use to prevent surface imperfections such as these.

1.   Regular Protection

A great effective way to protect your car from surface blemishes like scratches and swirls is to keep your car protected. One of the most effective ways to seal your car’s paint is to use a liquid paint sealant and premium carnauba. Paint sealant creates an exceptional surface barrier. You will get a great protection and shine.

 

2.   Hand Car Washing

Still using automatic car washes? Stop. The bristles from automatic car washes pick up dirt from all of the cars before your car. As your car is going through the automatic wash, the dirt that the bristles pick up are being dragged across your car’s paint. The strong chemicals used by automatic car washes can deteriorate and weaken the effective of the paint sealant on your car.

On our next blog, we will discuss the remaining two ways to prevent surface scratches and swirls.

Signs Your Car Needs Detailing (Part 2)


4.   Dents, dings, scratches, and swirls. A recognizable way to tell if your car needs detailing is by looking at the paint. If your paint has scratches, swirls, dents, and dings it is time to detail your car. If the paint is looking dull it is time as well to detail your car. Getting your car detailed can restore and preserve the shine of your car;s paint. While dents and dings may not be fully removed, detailing will help reduce its appearance.

Brake dust can settle on your wheels and can eat erode the protective coating on your wheels. It is important to maintain in order to keep your car running smoothly.

Signs Your Car Needs To Be Detailed


This a 2 part blog that will point out the red flags that will alert you when it’s time to get your car detailed.

  1. Unwanted odors. You may try to mask unwanted odors with carpet shampoo or air freshener, but sometimes no amount of these products can mask the unmistakable odor of a dirty car. Regularly vacuuming your car is considered good car hygiene, but after time vacuuming will not be enough to rid of unwanted odors. Auto detailers use specifically-formulated cleaning products that will get rid of allergens, dirt, and dust that that can be found lingering in your car.
  1. Rigid Stains. There are a few do-it-yourself techniques that you can do for specific kinds of stains, but some stains may still linger in the fabric and leave a show that may not come out at all. If your interior's fabric is a light color like beige or off-white and is now a darker grayish color, you car needs to be detailed.
  1. Sticky buttons and gearshifts and squeaky vents. Auto detailing is not just about restoring and preserving your car’s beauty. It’s also about helping your car perform in a better condition. Matter like dirt, dust, and animal hair can accrue in small places in your car and can cause several parts from working smoothly.This can create safety issues and can affect your driving experience.
