Car paint renovation – how to care for it on a daily basis?

If your car's paint is still in really good condition, avoid washing it in an automatic car wash. This causes the paint to become dull and scratched. This is caused by dust, road dust and sand settling on the brushes. You already know perfectly well what the effect of this is. The number of cars on Polish roads is constantly growing. Moreover, from observations of the last two decades it can be concluded that the dynamics of life are much faster than before. People often cannot afford to spare time to wash their car. Nevertheless, they want the car they drive every day to look impressive compared to others. In such cases, they often decide to use an automatic car wash. Therefore, it can be concluded that car washes are under siege. A side effect may be the quality of the equipment used to wash cars in such places. It may often happen that the car is washed decently, which means that the driver will get a satisfactory result. However, there is a certain risk that used equipment will scratch the paint on the bodywork. A driver faced with the dilemma of washing a car must choose whether to wash the car regularly in an automatic car wash or decide to wash it less frequently, but manually and independently, which will significantly minimize the risk of damaging the paint.

Remember about professional measures

Paint renovation should not be carried out using untested preparations, and in car washes we are not always sure what is used to wash vehicles. Therefore, when we go to a car wash to wash our car, we are dependent on the products that are currently available for use. However, if we decide to wash it ourselves, we can get to know the product thoroughly, from reading its label, seeking the opinions of other users via the Internet, to testing it on a small area of ​​the bodywork. Improving the visual condition of the paint on the body, i.e. removing or masking scratches, usually generates large costs. There is nothing worse for a driver than to want good and end up with problems. This is why choosing the right measures is so important. Together, they and our work are supposed to lead to satisfaction.

Your car, your funds!

It is best to take care of your car yourself and wash it using water, a cloth and a few products that you can choose yourself. We recommend it as a car cleaning agent car shampoo with wax. Renovation of paint, as well as regular care for its good condition, requires the use of wax, so this preparation has 2 in 1. The shampoo copes very well with difficult dirt and deposits. Additionally, it polishes the varnish and creates a protective wax layer that protects the varnish against matting, loss of shine and dirt. So all doubts have been dispelled. A driver does not have to have a perfectly equipped garage. The car chemicals industry is developing dynamically, so it offers somewhat universal products that guarantee the desired effect. Moreover, it saves space. If the driver has a garage, he or she can save some space. However, if his car cosmetics have to fit on one shelf in the basement due to lack of space, a universal product may turn out to be a golden solution.

Fast and professional

If we want to achieve the highest possible effects and excellent protection of the paint, it is worth considering products that, in addition to aesthetic values, will also provide it with proper protection. Most often, drivers who take special care of their car's bodywork use wax, which they apply to the paint surface and rub it with a soft cloth. A soft cloth will virtually completely eliminate the risk of scratches. The condition of the cloth is extremely important. Of course, it is best if it is new, but since it is a reusable product, we apply the principle of double cleanliness. Wash the cloth under running water after the last wash and before the next one. This will, to some extent, contribute to a more thorough removal of all particles, especially sharp ones, which may have a negative impact on the paint on the bodywork. Focusing on car waxes, we have a very wide selection on the market. Most manufacturers offer many types of wax from which we can choose. When washing at home, it is best to choose wet wax, e.g. the one you will find in the Moje Auto offer. It acts in as many as three directions - it accelerates the drying of the car, polishes the paint and restores its very natural shine, and also creates a protective layer that protects the paint coating against external factors.

How does it look in practice:

– quick drying of the car – waxing the body is nothing more than creating a kind of coating on it, which must be absorbed into the paint, properly protect it and give it an aesthetic visual layer.
– polishing the paint – contact of the wax with the paint gives it a shine that is visible in virtually all weather conditions. Thanks to this, our car will look good even in changing weather conditions, several times a day.
– restoring the natural shine – car cosmetics, especially wet wax included in the Moje Auto offer, are intended to make the paint look visually like that of a car that left the showroom a moment earlier.

How to use car cosmetics correctly

The last thing you should always remember to ensure that the waxing process is carried out correctly is paint regeneration. It should take place at optimal air temperature. Apply the agent immediately after washing the car, on a still wet or dry surface. Be especially careful and protect your windows from wax, it is best to simply seal them. It is worth approaching this professionally and with a great deal of caution. Windows are responsible for visibility while driving, which has a huge impact on safety. Contact of the wax with the car window may result in white streaks that will be difficult to remove. That's why wax manufacturers do not recommend using waxes on windows.

Removing scratches from paint

A moment of inattention or driving on a muddy road, a gravel road and a moment later on a rocky path, and your car's paint no longer looks the same as before. It's easy to get scratches, but avoiding them is practically impossible, not everything depends on us. Even if we try very hard to take care of our car, we should be aware that it is an item that does not stay in one place, like a TV, but is used to move over many often difficult surfaces in all possible weather conditions. Therefore, a side effect of using the car will be the appearance of scratches on it. Removing scratches from the paint is often a big problem for drivers. Why? Often the cause is an inappropriate choice of scratch removal product or simply a lack of immediate reaction. The scratches can also be very deep, which requires a visit to a painter. Another cause is problems committed while washing the car. Some preparations and cloths with a rough structure simply scratch the bodywork. This is most often the case when removing difficult mud stains, greasy stains and asphalt residues. The Tar and Resin Moje Auto agent is safe for the paint and perfectly removes such dirt. As the name suggests, it even removes tar and resin, it is universal, you can use it to clean windows, bodywork, bumpers and headlights.
