Extend the Life of your Car – Keep It Clean

Keeping your car clean can significantly extend the life of your motor, but all too often car paintwork needs to be repaired due to unnecessary neglect. Such repairs could be avoided if a car was washed or cleaned regularly.

The problem with letting your car remain dirty is that grit and dirt lead to increased wear and tear and accelerates corrosion.

• In winter, salt from gritted roads is a leading cause of corrosion
• Leaving bird mess on your car also proves disastrous for paintwork
• Stone chips left unnoticed will cause corrosion to spread
• Dirt and dust can leave paintwork dull

Cleaning your car needn’t be a chore; while automatic car washes aren’t necessarily the answer due to the fine scratches that can be left by the stiff brushes, there are numerous car cleaning services that will clean your car inside and out for you. However it’s more economical to clean your yourself. To do so:

• Use a cleaning solution meant for cars
• Dry the car with a chamois
• Polish paintwork at least once a year
• Attend to stone chips swiftly to prevent corrosion
