Last updated 1 month ago

Owning a high-end vehicle is an exciting privilege, but it can be nerve-wracking to keep your car’s paint and body in pristine condition. Luckily, the high-end auto detail experts here at Hanley Bros. make it easy to keep your vehicle looking as good as it did the day you purchased it. Here are some things that you can do at home and on the road to keep your high-end vehicle’s paint and body in showroom condition between detailing appointments:

Avoid Hazardous Road Conditions – To protect your vehicle’s finish from dings and scratches, avoid certain road conditions that can be hazardous for a car’s paint job. Some areas to avoid include dirt roads, freshly paved or resurfaced roads, and gravel roads. If you must drive on these types of roads, visit Hanley Bros. as soon as possible for a high-end auto detail to remove any surface scratches.

Keep Your Vehicle Covered – When possible, try keep your vehicle parked beneath a covered structure or inside a garage. It is also a good idea to invest in a car cover for those moments when you can’t find covered parking. Besides protecting your vehicle from dirt, bird droppings, and other debris, covered parking and car covers also guard your vehicle against the paint-fading effects of the sun.

Take Caution When Parking – A large number of the dents and dings that we see are parking-related. Curb rash, for example, is one of the most common forms of rim damage—and also one of the most avoidable. When parking beside a curb, be sure to leave plenty of room between your vehicle and the curb or sidewalk. Besides preventing curb rash, this will also reduce the likelihood of dinging your door on a street sign or parking meter.
