Car cleaning tips

When it comes to cleaning a vehicle we tend to turn to the experts. The unfortunate part of cleaning your vehicle is trying to decipher whether or not you can believe what you see in advertisements for cleaning products. Are microfiber cloths really safe to use on your vehicle? What about this stuff called petroleum distillates? Will car wash products ruin the finish?

~ Wash your vehicle in the morning or evening to avoid water spots. Once they form, it only takes a week or so for them to begin etching into the surface making it difficult at best to buff them out. Wash the top first then section wash and dry your vehicle.

~ Ignoring bugs will cause pits in the paint. Look at the front where the paint has small chips. You thought those were rock chips. Those are caused from bugs being left on the vehicle.

~ Tires require regular cleaning. Rubber naturally oxidizes with time. That oxidization causes the tire to appear like they are cracking.

~ Check regularly your vw cornering light.
