Audi A3 Driving  

Our Austin customers take pride in taking good care of their automobiles. An important part of auto maintenance is cleaning your car in such a way that doesn't mess up the new paint job. Our Service Department wants to help you take proper care of your vehicle, including preserving the paint finish on it. So, we've put together this guide below on proper paint care, including newly painted car care.


How to Perform Newly Painted Car Care in Six Steps

Judging from how many shiny cars we see sitting in Rock Creek driveways, a lot of drivers are interested in proper car paint care. Follow these steps for newly painted car care:

  1. Wash your car regularly. Dirt and grim left on a car can degrade the paint finish. Wash your vehicle regularly. If you use a pressure jet, don't spray it too close to the car itself.
  2. Use the right wax for your paint. Did you know there are different waxes for different kinds of paint? Use the right one for your paint.
  3. Paint conditioners are your friend. Paint conditioners are made specifically to preserve the paint on your car. Make sure to follow the directions on the label.
  4. Use a good clay bar. Clay bars can really bring out the shine on your vehicle. Be sure to use a proper applicator.
  5. Get a good undercoat and rust-proofing. This is crucial to proper car paint care. Rust is the enemy of paint preservation.
  6. Fix scratches as soon as possible. Scratches and dents should be addressed right away. We can help you with that. Schedule an appointment online with our Service Department.
