After a collision repair, many car owners think the job is done. However, proper post-repair care is essential to maintain the paint, shine, and safety of your vehicle. Here are 5 practical tips to extend the results of your repair.
- Tip 1: Wash your car carefully
Avoid automatic car washes during the first 2 weeks after repair. Hand wash with mild soap and water instead.
- Tip 2: Protect the paint
Apply a protective wax after the first month. This will help keep the shine and protect against Miami’s intense sun.
- Tip 3: Avoid parking under direct sunlight
UV rays can damage freshly painted surfaces. Whenever possible, park in the shade or use a windshield sun protector.
- Tip 4: Schedule regular checkups
Return to the shop if you notice any issues with the paint or parts adjustment. At Ego Collision Center, we offer free post-repair inspections.
- Tip 5: Drive with extra care
Avoid potholes and rough roads. Even small bumps can affect alignment and suspension.
