Cleaning and looking after your car is vital in order to ensure it is in top condition and maintains its value. Now alloy wheel repair specialists London-based Whoops Wheel Fix It! have come up with some top tips to keep your vehicle on the road and looking good.
Your car is one of your main assets and so it is vital to give it some regular TLC. This will ensure a better price when you come to sell again and it is likely that you will recoup the costs of valeting at that point. Indeed, maintaining your car's appearance could also make it easier for you to find a buyer, as it will show that the vehicle has been cared for.
It is especially important to keep a company car looking good, as this will help to create the right impression when you meet clients or customers. There is little use in turning up to a business meeting in an immaculate suit if the car you arrive in is letting the side down by looking tatty and old.
At Whoops Wheel Fix It!, we provide an outstanding service to restore your car's bodywork so that your vehicle will look just as gleaming as it did when you first drove it out of the showroom. Our alloy wheel repair service in London is another great way to maintain your vehicle and ensure that it stays in top condition.

Maintaining the Exterior of Your Car
Washing your car regularly is vital – and it is also important to wax it with a good-quality polish which will help to protect it in all weathers. However, even when your car is well waxed, there are various problems which can take a toll on your paintwork, such as driving through dirt, mud or road salt, loose chippings or uneven surfaces, or being subjected to bird droppings.
Sadly, if you ignore apparently minor damage it can become more major over time, as dented or scraped paintwork will deteriorate faster, causing rust to develop. It should also be remembered that paint is not just cosmetic, but protects the metal bodywork of your car. This means that ignoring minor scuffs can be a false economy.
Fortunately, Whoops Wheel Fix It! offers a fast and efficient service to repair superficial damage to bodywork and retouch paint. We can exactly match any manufacturer's paint colour, using an industry-standard system. Our mobile bodywork and alloy wheel repair service is available to motorists in London, Hertfordshire and Essex, and it is usually possible to repair small chips to paintwork within one to two hours.
We also offer a full body polishing service, carried out by machine. Having your car professionally polished will restore the paintwork's original shine, reducing any tiny scratches caused over time by washing and weather. This is another service which we can bring to you with our mobile van, and is suitable for all types of paint.
Maintaining the Interior of Your Car
There is often a danger that the interior of a car can be overlooked during maintenance. So many people have vehicles which look fine on the outside, but are dirty and full of mess and debris on the inside.
Having a grubby car interior obviously makes a bad impression if you ever have to give a lift to clients or customers and, as with dirt on the exterior of your car, it will also bring down the value of your car when you come to resell. There could also be health implications of having a dirty car, as a survey by the top TV series 'Top Gear' found high levels of bacteria and mould in a family vehicle tested on the show.
Bearing all this in mind, it may be worth considering professional valeting of the interior of your vehicle. This is an especially good option if you have already allowed dirt to build up or have had to carry something messy in your boot – for instance, rubble being taken to your local rubbish dump.
However, it is also possible to valet your own car interior. After clearing out any rubbish, you need to vacuum the inside thoroughly and then use upholstery or leather cleaner to freshen the seats, as well as a suitable cleaner on any plastic components.
Whether you decide to valet your own car interior or take your vehicle to a valeting service, the most important thing is to do it frequently, not just occasionally. This is the only way to avoid dirt steadily building up.
