A car is built to make your traveling much easier. However, if it is continually used without caring, the car will soon deteriorate.

Whether it is your first car or the one that has been used for a long time, adopting these tips will make your car have a bright and shiny color standing out just like a new red license plate car. If you're ready, grab a pen and let’s take notes together.
📌 Wash your car regularly
It's an easy way to take care of your car paint and it doesn't need a lot of equipment. Simply use clean water to wash all over first, then followed by using a sponge with cleaning products for the car, rubbing in a straight line around the car. DO NOT rub the sponge in circles as it may scratch the car. After rubbing all around the car, wash it again with water. Importantly, the car should be wiped dry every time after washing to avoid water stains.
📌 Always apply wax
The wax acts as a thin film coating of the car body. It not only makes your car look shiny, it also protects stains caused by dust, and dirt and reduces scratches caused by sand or small pebbles. Moreover, wax will makes the surface of the car slippery and that makes it easier for you to clean and wash your car.
📌 Use clay bar to clean the car
It is another way that damages the car's surface the least. It also helps to effectively pull out the dirt which is embedded in the car body's surface layer, and makes the car body surface smoother. When using a clay bar to clean the car, it should be used with water or car shampoo for easier cleaning. However, this method should only be done about 1-2 times a year, depending on the environment and the amount of dirt on your car.
📌 Do not park your car under the sun
The car surface is the part that is directly exposed to sunlight. If the car is parked under the sun and uncovered for a long time, UV can make car paint fade and look old very fast. The easiest and best way to take care of your car paint is parking the car under the shade to keep its paint always looking new.
📌 Have the shop handle the paint
When the car has been used for a long time, sometimes the condition of the car body may not always be the same. There may be dirt that has accumulated deeply or large scratches that you cannot fix by yourself. Relying on expert technicians to solve these specific problems is a more convenient choice with satisfactory results.
As a result, when you have time, don't forget to take care of your car paint to make it always shiny and build your confidence every time you’re driving.
When you already take care of the external parts of your car, don't forget to take care of the various systems inside the car as well. Choose high quality products from PTT Lubricants that are available today at stores near you!
