4 Tips for Detailing Your Vehicle's Exterior
Besides your house, your vehicle is probably your most important investment, and like any investment you want to keep it looking its best. Lake County Coatings is your automotive expert for keeping your vehicle in pristine condition. From restorative services for dents and scratches to professional protectants like ceramic coatings, we know a thing or two about the importance of car detailing. Check out our tips for caring for your vehicle at home between professional detailing services.
Rinse Before Washing
Washing the exterior of your car is one of the most important things you can do, but not all car washes are best for your exterior. Washing your car by hand is one of the best ways to know exactly what products are being used on your car, as well as to avoid scratches. Pick a shady spot and begin with a simple rinse. Rinsing your car before washing can remove dirt and other debris from all the crevices allowing the soap to work better.
Microfiber Towels Are Gold
You should never use a plain dry cloth for exterior detailing. The day of the sponges, abrasive towels, and paper towels are long gone! Microfiber towels come in a variety of types including washing, drying, dusting, and even glass; they are designed to lift dirt instead of just spreading it around. Microfiber cloths are also super absorbent and gentle on your vehicle. At Lake County Coatings we use only the highest quality of microfiber cloths during your professional detailing service.
Don’t Forget Your Windows
It is very easy to forget to clean your vehicle’s windows, but dirty glass can impair your driving. Don’t forget to get the top of the glass and the edges of your windows where dirt can collect. Getting a streak-free shine on the windows and windshield is critical to avoiding hazes and glares when driving. When in doubt, leave it to the professionals at Lake County Coatings.
Get A Professional Ceramic Coating
Protecting your vehicle’s exterior is one of the most important ways you can increase your vehicle’s value. A professional ceramic coating is a great way to protect your paint job from scratches caused by dirt, grime, and sludge we come in contact with while driving. A ceramic coating is a semi-permanent layer of protectant that goes over your existing exterior’s paint surface. It can also help protect your vehicle from UV damage! A professional ceramic coating is an investment that just makes sense!
