9 ways to keep your car looking new even years after you bought it

 There's no denying that a car looks better when it's new off the showroom. However, with the passage of time, various natural and human factors, such as poor maintenance, affect its visual appeal.

 But maintaining a car in a shiny condition is not a very difficult task. Experts have named 9 ways to make your car look like new even after several years of operation.

 1) Always use microfiber

 Always clean your car with a microfiber cloth only. The paper towel is softer than any other cloth, and it absorbs water faster. Most importantly, it is softer, and can help you prevent any marks on your car's body. Finally, make sure that the cloth you are using is not dirty.

 2) Never use a dry cloth

 Always make sure that the cloth you use to wipe the car is not dry. Many car owners wipe the dirty car with a dry cloth, which has a bad effect on the LFP. Dust particles on the body of your car are stretched by the cloth, causing scratches and dirty joints. This, in turn, causes the paint to lose its luster. Therefore, use a clean cloth to wipe the car.

 3) Use a protective body layer

 Shield film is a type of lamination that can be applied to the metal parts of your vehicle. This is recommended if you frequently use your car on the highway. We recommend, at a minimum, covering the hood and front bumper. To keep your car looking good even after many years of use, apply a protective film immediately after purchasing the car.

 4) Covering the car while standing for long periods

 Many car owners do not have their own garage. It is important for them to keep the car locked up before leaving it in the car park for too long. Bright sunlight tends to burn your car's paint. Again, be sure to clean the car thoroughly before putting it under the hood.

 5) Never cover a dirty machine with a protective cover

 If you put a cover on a dirty car, the cloth covers the dust particles, thus scratching the paint. In essence, it is the same as cleaning the car with a dry cloth. So make sure your car is clean before you decide to cover it.

6) Use a good car shampoo

 Although frequent use of car shampoo is not recommended, using it at least once a month can help you maintain the original shine of the paint. But it's worth making sure you only use good shampoo. Some people have been known to use hair products or even detergents when washing their cars, which is a very bad practice as it can damage the paint.

 7) Washing machine from top to bottom

  Always use a top-down approach when washing your car. The reason for this is that the lower parts of the car, such as the fenders, are usually the dirtiest. If you clean the lower parts of your car first, the cloth may become too greasy and using it to clean the upper parts will do more harm than good.

 8) Use the services of a professional detailing center

 While many car owners polish and polish their cars themselves to give them a shine, it is better to enlist the services of professional detailers. Additionally, frequent polishing may damage your car's paint instead of benefiting it. Therefore, to completely polish the car, you need to visit a specialist at least once a year or once every 6 months.

 9) Try to avoid trees and birds

  While parking under a tree will help keep the car cool, make sure you have the ability to sweep up tree sap and bird droppings right away. With prolonged exposure to the body, it can lead to irreversible damage to the paintwork. Even fresh bitumen, which tends to stick to your car when driving on a freshly paved road, should be cleaned off as soon as you notice it.
