Are you nostalgic for that new-car smell, but know that
investing in a totally new car would be impractical and out of reach? Not to
worry – no matter what your budget, at Tires By Web, we have some solutions for
sprucing up your old ride that will help you satisfy your urge without ever
setting foot in a dealership.
1. Pay Attention to
Detail
The easiest and most affordable way to make your vehicle
look its best, regardless of age, is to get the exterior washed and detailed.
The wash will get your car looking shiny, and
the
wax will help gloss over and diminish scratches on the clear coat. Pay
special attention to the headlights when waxing to remove the foggy-looking
buildup that can develop over time. Though it is unsightly, headlight fog is
usually easy to remove thanks to waxing and/or special fog removing solutions.
If you have any bigger scratches, a touch up paint pen is a quick alternative
to a complete overhaul of the exterior.
2. It's What's on the
Inside that Counts
This isn't just a cliché to describe romantic relationships
– it's also true if you want to show your car some love! You're the one sitting
in your car all the time, and if you aren't treating the interior well, you
might be unintentionally adding to that older-car feeling. To improve your
car's inner longevity, cease any smoking or eating in the vehicle as soon as
possible; this might be a hard habit to break, but you're needlessly aging the
fabric of your car with stains and smells. In addition, get the fabrics
professionally shampooed and the interior conditioned to give your vehicle that
like-new smell and feel. If your mats are looking especially ragged,
aftermarket replacements are available (you can select stock or go with an
eye-catching design).
Remember, when this spills, it will be messy and
smell.
3. There's No Plate
like Chrome
If your vehicle is looking dull, the easiest way to brighten
it up is to make it shiny with the help of chrome additions. If you really want
to ramp up your car's bling factor,
replace your
current wheels with American Racing rims, which come in an array of styles
and sizes. Additionally, almost any car body accessory you can think of can be
found in chrome, including mirror covers, fuel doors, tailgates, even door
handles. Replacing a few exterior parts with a nice, shiny chrome will take
your car from a 2 to a 10 in no time. Visually making over your car is an
exciting way to enjoy small improvements, without the heartache of buyer's
remorse.
