King Kia Of Laurel’s Paint Job Maintenance Tips:
Wash Regularly!
- Most important for your paints care, be sure to regularly wash your vehicle’s exterior and get all that road dust and debris off! Especially in the Autumn and Winter months when coarse salt has been put out on the road to increase traction!
Use Clay Bars & Polish.
- Extract embedded gravel, tree sap, and more from your vehicle’s top coat using a clay bar and then seal those scratches and make your ride shine with a layer of polish!
Wax On!
- Wax provides a protective layer against dirt and road debris while simultaneously keeping your exterior relatively waterproof!
Keep Out Of The Sun!
- Keep your ride out of direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays can oxidize your paint and make it fade more quickly!
