A beautiful, unblemished paint job is the mark of a well-kept vehicle. If you take pride in your car, keep your vehicle looking pristine for years to come with these easy tips:
1. PARK AWAY FROM STORES. Take the time to park a few places away from the entrance to a store - and away from other cars in the parking lot. This avoids the most common source of dings - doors being opened carelessly.
2. AVOID SCRATCHED CARS. After all, they got that way somehow. And you don't know whose fault it was. The driver of a scratched, bent-up car isn't as likely to be careful about your car either.
3. DON'T PARK ON THE STREET. The more people there are driving by, the higher the possibility for a scratch or a ding.
4. DON'T PARK UNDER CERTAIN TREES. Avoid parking under pine trees, or other trees that drop branches, cones, sap and litter. Birds in these trees can also drop, well, their own product.
5. AVOID CERTAIN CAR WASHES. Some car washes use automatic whirling brushes; some of these haven't been changed in a long time and could harbor debris and garbage. Use brushless car washes, or do it by hand instead.
6. DRIVE IN THE CENTER LANE. On a freeway, oncoming traffic can throw debris into the left lane (in the US, where we drive on the right side of the road). Staying in the middle lane avoids this to some degree, as well as trash on the right side of the road.
7. STAY OFF OF UNPAVED ROADS. These are covered with loose stones and gravel. The gravel can fly up and hit your car. If you can, find an alternate route.
