1. Avoid scratches as much as possible
We start with scratches. Why? Because they are the biggest enemy to
your car's finish. And avoiding scratches is the secret to keeping your

car looking good. Dirt and grime, rubbed in while washing or drying,
will act like sandpaper and dull your car's paint. There is one basic
rule which will guide you whenever you touch the surface of your
automobile:
Anything that comes in contact with your car's finish should be soft.


2. As much as possible, protect your cars finish from the elements.
This means storing the car in a garage or covered area. Also, the use
of a car cover is highly recommended. A car that is constantly exposed
to sunlight and other environmental hazards will deteriorate quicker
and require significantly more cosmetic maintenance.


3. Always keep a good coat of wax or paint sealant on the car.
In addition to providing gloss and depth, wax will also protect your
car from the elements, including sunlight and many other circumstances
that you will encounter, from bug carcasses to bird droppings.


4. Be aware of your car's finish.
Make regular quick inspections of your cars surface a habit. Look it
over and note its condition, keeping in mind its recent history and
what you anticipate will happen in the future.


5. Make a habit of detailing your car.
In most cases, washing your car once a month is adequate. Once every
two weeks is better and necessary if the car is subject to harsh
conditions.
