Investing in a luxury car can be one of life’s greatest pleasures. From the comfort, performance and style that a high-end vehicle offers, owners are willing to pay a large price tag to drive in class. The joys of driving a luxury car come with the responsibility of proper maintenance to ensure that the car will stay in tiptop shape aesthetically and performance wise. From proper interior cleaning to routine engine maintenance, making sure that your vehicle is properly taken care of is crucial.
Here are some tips for keeping your luxury car clean and running at top performance.
Interior Cleaning
Using the right cleaning product for each surface is especially important when it comes to luxury models. High-end interiors are made of higher quality materials and require special care. Leather seats and other features should only be cleaned with special leather-approved products. Carpet flooring requires a vacuum to remove loose debris and a good stiff-bristled brush with quality carpet shampoo to remove any tough spots or set-in debris. When it comes to dashboards, a lot of luxury cars will have real wood accents and trims so make sure to use a quality wood polish made for cars and microfiber cloth. The best option for luxury interior cleaning is to have professionals detail it for you because they will have the exact products and experience to do it right.
Exterior Cleaning
Unless you plan on detailing your car yourself, finding a good car wash that offers hand washing is key. Regular cleaning is the best defense against discoloration, marring, cracking or peeling paint that can be caused by UV damage, road debris or other contaminants like pollen, dust or acid rain. Waxes and sealants are a great protective measure and should be applied by professionals to make sure that they are done properly. If you drive your car regularly, washes should happen once a week or every two weeks and a wash/wax/sealant should be a monthly task. You may want to invest in a 3M clear bra to protect the front of your car against bugs, dirt and other road debris.
