As summer approaches, it's time to start thinking about how to keep your car looking its best during the sunny months. With higher temperatures, increased pollen, and more road trips, your vehicle needs extra care. At Ziebart, we're dedicated to helping you maintain your car's appearance and protection. Here are some essential summer car care tips to keep your vehicle shining and protected all season long.
Protect Your Paint with Z-Gloss® Ceramic Paint Coating
Summer brings an abundance of pollen, which can be particularly noticeable on darker-colored vehicles. Ziebart’s Z-Gloss® Ceramic Paint Coating creates a slick, hydrophobic surface that helps pollen and other contaminants slide right off your car. This advanced coating not only makes cleaning easier but also provides a high-gloss finish that enhances your vehicle's appearance.
Avoid Automatic Car Washes
While it might be tempting to take your car through an automatic car wash for convenience, this can be detrimental to your vehicle’s paint. Automatic car washes often use harsh brushes and recycled water containing dirt and debris from previous vehicles. This can lead to micro-scratches in your car's clear coat, which accumulate over time and cause significant damage, fading, and oxidation. Instead, we recommend hand washing your vehicle.
The Benefits of Hand Washing
Hand washing your vehicle is the best way to ensure a thorough and gentle clean. Using quality car wash products and soft microfiber cloths, you can avoid the scratches and damage caused by automatic car washes. Hand washing allows you to pay attention to every detail and spot any potential issues before they become major problems.
Keep Your Interior Cool
The summer sun can be brutal on your car's interior, causing it to heat up quickly. To keep your car cool and protect the interior from UV damage, consider having window tint applied. Our window tint film not only reduces glare and heat but also helps protect your upholstery and dashboard from fading and cracking.
Regular Maintenance Checks
Summer is the perfect time to perform regular maintenance checks on your vehicle. Ensure your tires are properly inflated, your fluids are topped off, and your air conditioning system is functioning efficiently. Regular maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns and keep your car running smoothly during your summer adventures.
