Keeping your car maintained and clean will help
you retain resale value and enhance your
enjoyment of the vehicle. Appearances are
everything when it comes to selling or trading in
cars, so investing in your cars interior and
exterior appearance is a smart move. Detailing
doesnt have to be expensive or time-consuming. A
few simple pointers from the car pros at Jack Key
Auto Group will keep your vehicle shining.

Detailing improves the performance of your
vehicle by focusing on cleaning, restoring,
maintaining, and protecting the vehicle from
dirt, grime, and damage.

• Begin by washing the car, using a car wash
  solution rather than dish soap. Dish soap may be
  harmful to your car paint.
• Take special care to wash off all accumulated
  stains and spots.
• After washing, dry the car using a terry or
  chamois cloth, and apply wax to the vehicle. Wax
  will help protect the vehicle against the
  elements and preserve the paints color.

• For difficult surface contaminants on your paint
  job, use a clay bar to remove them.
• Clay bar systems typically include a spray
  lubricant, a clay bar, and a towel.
• Clay bars help remove contaminants without
  damaging your paint.
• Clay bar kits typically run about 20.

6

• Remove and vacuum mats
• Clean interior glass
• Dust and clean dashboard and other surfaces
• Vacuum interior
• Shampoo fabric
• Wipe surfaces with protective liquid or gel

7

• Use a wheel brush to clean the wheels, hitting
  the rims first as this is where most dirt and
  grime accumulate.
• Use cleaners designed for wheels and tires. Other
  cleaners may be too abrasive or cause damage.
• Use glass cleaner to shine up chrome wheels.

• Taking your vehicle into the dealership for
  regular maintenance is another way to ensure its
  continued value and function. Having your vehicle
  serviced at the dealership benefits you by
• Ensuring your vehicle is serviced by mechanics
  versed in the specific design of your vehicle.
• Ensuring fast access to needed parts, allowing
  you to get back on the road sooner.
• Servicing deals and perks covered by your
  warranty.

• Maintain the health of your paint. This isnt all
  about looks. A good paint job will protect the
  metal underneath and prevent rust.
• Avoid chassis damage from road salt accumulation.
  If you live in a snowy area, salt placed on the
  road to prevent sliding can eat away at your
  chassis.
• Maintain lighting. Keeping your headlights and
  taillights clean will improve visibility at
  night.
• Protect interior condition. Keeping your car
  vacuumed and the interior clean will ensure it
  remains attractive and prevent bad odors.
• Improve wheel and tire condition. Keeping wheels
  and tires clean will prevent corrosion and cracks.
