Believe it or not beautiful summer weather can actually be detrimental to your vehicle's finish. Sunlight and warm weather can actually harm your car's finish. Ultraviolet light - U.V. light, can cause in chemical terms oxidation.
Aside from mechanical aspects of your automobile, the majority of professional used car appraisers , auto auction professional buyers or just plain Jane run of the mill late model auto purchasers look first and foremost in their first impressions for rust , dents on the body of the vehicle and also the condition of your auto upholstery and carpeting. Be proud of your new or premium used vehicle. A basic recommendation of car wholesalers who deal with myriads of vehicle purchases in a flash is to have your car, truck or SUV carefully washed ,cleaned & vacuumed. You will more than get your money back for your investment and as well complete the sale of your vehicle much more quickly and for a higher selling price.
The results of oxidation of a previously shiny and beautiful auto finish are obvious for all or most to see. First the paint finish will present with a dull chalky appearance. Look for "crazing" - that is a maze of hair like cracks on metallic or refinished surfaces which can occur when paint shrinks under the hot summer sun. Crazing is especially common in hot climates such as Florida residents or even visiting tourists encounter. Lastly add in bird dropping - or bird do do which can permanently stain your car's paint and finish if not wiped off or cleaned off more than promptly. You never know when someone in Manitoba will be shopping for a good used low km truck in Vancouver. Not only that. First impressions count most. Any person involved in out shopping for the opposite sex or involved in a sales related position will tell you that , no doubt.
Yet there is nothing nicer than washing your car in your driveway on a sunny afternoon. While being convenient with "one stop shopping" - that is hot water , soap, a high pressure cleaning nozzle as well as cleaning brush and vacuum all in one place a buggy bath may overall be not such a great bargain to you as an auto owner both in terms of time , convenience and cost. The car wash may be crowded at peak times when you are free and off work - weekends for example. Secondly you may be rushed in your efforts both in terms of time allowed by the coin meter feeding the hot water to wash your car. You may not notice imperfect cleaning until you are out in the sun, away from the cleaning away, drying your vehicle.
Lastly it is not only your vehicle's exterior which keeps you traveling down the highways and byways easily, comfortably and reliably. No doubt about it that your car, truck or SUV takes an ongoing beating and pounding day in day out. Make it a regular and ongoing point to conduct ongoing and regular maintenance checks. Professional semi trailer drivers do it as a matter of course and habit and so should you. Check fluid levels for battery, brakes, steering and transmission. Of course check the level of your engine oil and change it regularly according to your vehicle's manufacturer and your auto's drivers and owner's manuals. If it doubts double check at the service or sales dept of your local authorized automobile dealership. Inspect your engine's hoses and belts for wear, tears and rips. Have these replaced if necessary. Check the air pressures of your tires. If you are unfamiliar again visit the service department of your local auto dealer or a local tire shop. They will be only too happy to assist you. Lastly change air filters - both engine and cabin if dirty or clogged. Preventative maintenance is always safer, less stressful and ultimately less costly and expensive on the auto ownership budget.

Automotive finishes have seen great advancements from the more primitive less technologically adept times, and now it's more durable and shines longer than ever. That means it's okay to toss out your old cans of rubbing compound, your leather chamois, and piles of newsprint for buffing and replace them.
