How to Make Your Car Look Brand New?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓ 43 views

Having a car makes daily life easier. Every driver should take care of their loved vehicles, especially when they don’t have so much money on affording a new car. There are tips to keep your car looks brand new without spending too much.

#Upgrade the Old Radio

Some of aftermarket Android radios come equipped with exquisite screens, adding beauty to the car. On the other hand, these screens are super easy to use, fast to response, as well as provide various amazing functions. For example, you can apply Carplay, then the radio acts as your phone and you can use phone applications on the screen freely. You can also use navigation, connect rear view camera, play FM/AM radios etc. With such radio, your drive always is much fun, comfortable and safe.

#Wash the Car Regularly

This is one of the best ways to keep your car clean and new. For interior detailing, you should use a soft brush to remove dust from crevices and air vents, use a short-pile microfiber towel to wipe the interior, as well use a wet-vac to deep clean fabrics. To wash the exterior, pickup the right soap and use the best cloth, keep in mind that don’t wash under the sun.

#Use a Car Cover

If you have to park the car outside for a long time, you need a quality car cover. A car cover will keep your paint from fading and scratching, your interior from discoloring and cracking, and vinyl and convertible tops from disintegrating. A car cover will also protect your car from getting dirty and wet during rainy and snowy seasons.

#Put On Seat Covers

Seat covers are a jack of all trades. They give your interior a custom look, can be washed or wiped if they get dirty, can add comfort and might just keep you cool or warm, depending on what’s up outside. You also can opt for pet-friendly covers. Choose from basic, camo, sheepskin, towel (indeed what you’re imagining), cushioned and more. And if you’re really into this idea, aside from the zillions of colors and designs available, you also can get custom covers with a photo you submit.

#Put In Floor Mats

Everything you step on outside becomes a layer of crud on the floor inside, whether it’s dirt clumps, rocks, snow or mud, and that can soil your clean car in just one step. Adding floor mats will function as a protective layer — and hide what already has happened to the carpet. You can pick up floor mats in a style to match your carpet or reflect your personality.

#Get a Trunk Organizer

Even the neatest people might find their trunks becoming an unruly mess as things pile up and shift as you drive. A trunk organizer is a cheap purchase that can help keep this often disorderly part of your car looking nice and neat.
