You just bought a brand new, shiny car from the dealership with less than 50 miles on the odometer, you’re still enjoying that new car smell, and all seems great!
But wait! Did you know vehicles on dealership lots are often not protected and properly maintained? It’s not entirely the dealership’s fault, there’s no way they could spend enough time with all of those vehicles. They typically have them hosed off on the lot just to keep them from looking too dirty and seem appealing from the roadside.
If you really want to protect your investment from day one, you should hire a detailer to inspect the vehicle for you and take the necessary steps to properly clean, decontaminate, and protect it.
Vehicles can often take months to travel and arrive at dealerships. Along the way, they gather pollution and fallout from travel that contaminate the paintwork. While at ports they are also touched up from any defects during travel; this can be anything from polishing any scratches to minor paint touch-ups. Any procedures that were improperly done can be discovered and addressed by your detailer.
For the exterior, a thorough wash, clay, and iron removal process will ensure pristinely clean paint ready for a wax, sealant, or coating.
The interior can be protected as well with any fabric or leather protection to make cleaning easier in the future and help prevent any staining.
Afterward, scheduling a routine maintenance detail of your vehicle will help keep your vehicle looking brand new for years to come.
