You’ve just purchased a great-looking used car from Casey Auto, and you want to keep your vehicle looking radiant for years to come. We know all about properly maintaining the condition and appearance of pre-owned vehicles in Newport News, Virginia. Here is some of our top advice for dazzling vehicle upkeep.
Clean it thoroughly – and often
You’d be surprised by how important simply cleaning your car is for maintaining its condition. Whether from usage or being parked outdoors, your car collects harsh grime that will eat away at it. Washing your vehicle’s undercarriage, body panels, windows, and roof will keep contaminants from corroding your used car.Use protection and restoration kits
Revive the original luster of your car’s paint job while giving it a protective coat of wax by using name-brand car restoration products. Extra shielding will preserve the clearcoat and integrity of your used car. Use a kit to make headlight and taillight lenses crystal clear again, which is also important for seeing at nighttime in Newport News.Protect the vinyl, plastic, and leather
Even the interior of your used car from Casey Auto can deteriorate over time if neglected. The effects of sunshine through the glass, greasy hands, salty ocean air, and dirty clothes can cause these materials to dry out, crack, and form blemishes over time — which are very difficult to fix. Use vinyl, plastic, leather, and carpet cleaners throughout the cabin to preserve their condition.Schedule regular maintenance
A good-looking car is only as attractive as how it runs. Don’t neglect its mechanical needs as you focus on its visible needs. Regular oil changes, wheel balances, fluid flushes, and brake checks can do wonders for keeping your used car running for years to come. After all, what good is an attractive car that doesn’t drive well?Any used car you buy from Casey Auto will be in quality condition, and it’s up to you as the next owner to keep it that way. Take good care of your used car, and it will take good care of you!
