How to Keep Your Car’s Exterior Shiny and Scratch-Free
A spotless, glossy car turns heads — but road grime, bird droppings, and tiny scratches can ruin that showroom shine. Here’s a simple guide to keeping your car’s exterior looking brand new all year long.
1. Wash Your Car the Right Way
Use a pH-neutral car shampoo instead of dish soap (which strips wax).
Wash from top to bottom, using the “two-bucket” method — one for soapy water, one for rinsing.
2. Dry Without Scratching
Avoid air drying — it leaves water spots. Use a clean microfiber towel to gently pat dry.
3. Protect with Wax or Ceramic Coating
A good wax adds shine and a layer of protection. For longer-lasting results, consider a ceramic coating — it can protect for months or even years.
4. Remove Bird Droppings & Tree Sap ASAP
These are acidic and can eat into your paint. Keep a small detailing spray and microfiber cloth in your trunk for quick clean-ups.
5. Park Smart
Whenever possible, park in covered or shaded areas to protect your paint from UV rays.
Keeping your car’s exterior clean isn’t just about looks — it protects your paint, prevents rust, and preserves resale value.
