New car maintenance can keep your new automobile looking great! If you want to keep your new car paint in top condition, washing it regularly is key. Accumulated dirt and grime on your car's exterior results in scratches when you—whether by hand or automatic car wash—finally do wash the car. Before you actually wash your car, you should hose it down to remove debris to help minimize scratches.

If washing a vehicle by hand, use up and down motions rather than circular motions to avoid unsightly swirl marks. Also, remember to clean your sponge in a clean bucket of rinse water often to remove dirt and debris that may scratch your car's finish.
