Maintenance Tips for Keeping the Exterior of Your Ford Looking New in BC

No matter what year your Ford vehicle was manufactured, you most likely want to keep it looking as shiny and new as possible. One way to do this is to protect your paint job.

Aside from routinely washing and waxing, you should also shield the car, truck, van, or SUV from the elements. Sun exposure can slowly eat away at the protective urethane film that shields the coloured coating. Even strong winds can carry damaging particles through the air, which can lead to the wearing away of the exterior finish. If you don’t have access to a garage or carport, you should certainly invest in a full cover.

If damage has already occurred, then you may need to get a new layer of paint. If you notice chips, they need to be addressed quickly to ward off rust, which can cause much bigger problems down the road. You can also get a new self-adhering urethane film applied to the outside. This is usually used on the more vulnerable sections of the car such as the hood. It guards against minor abrasions. While it’s recommended to have this professionally installed, you can peel it off yourself.
