    Keeping It Classy: 5 Car Maintenance Tips To Keep In Mind

    New or pre-owned, your car, van, or truck makes a statement. It shows your tender loving care, or it suffers from exposure. Considering the financial commitment the vehicle represents, its worth keeping up its appearance.

    1) Wash it deep and frequently. Regular and thorough cleaning keeps the car looking fine. Consumer Reports recommends rinsing “all surfaces thoroughly with water before you begin washing to remove loose dirt and debris that could cause scratching.”

    Using recommended car detergents instead of home cleaning product, you should wash then rinse one area after another starting at the top and working down. Experts also use different sponges for wheels and tires than for the car body. They also advise not to wash the car when it is hot or in the sun.

    2) Keep floor mats clean. Fabric or synthetic floor mats collect road dirt, gravel, and interior stains. Fabric strains respond to regular care with commercial carpet cleaners. And, you can clean rubberized or synthetic floor mats with soap and water or hose.

    Car detailers will remove the mats completely from the car where they will shake dirt out and vacuum them thoroughly. They apply a stain remover where needed and apply a commercially available carpet cleaner to deep clean the nap. And, they may apply a carpet protectant to keep them fresh.

    Fabric or rubberized floor mats must be dry before you return them to the freshly vacuumed car floor. That vacuuming also goes for the trunk floor.

    3) Keep it covered. Weather and environment are good for your car’s finish. Certain climates hurt more than others, but sun, wind, snow, hail, and other natural forces wear and tear. So, you should keep the car garaged where possible.

    Where you do not have access to a garage or carport, it makes sense to invest in a removable car cover. Custom covers for the car’s brand and model cost more than all-purpose covers, but the car’s exterior is the deal breaker when you try to sell the car.

    4) Remember the interior. The interior fabrics, plastics, metals, and leathers need care, too. Detailers recommend applying cleaners to the sponges and rags rather than to the surfaces themselves.

    The interior can get surprisingly dirty as passengers enter and exit, as the environment enters open windows, and as passengers consume drinks, foods, and cigarettes. Refreshing the surfaces will go far to freshening the cabin environment.

    5) Use the best products. The best car waxes deserve some research. Name brand is not the only criteria. In another study, Consumer Reports suggests, “waxing even new cars every two or three months” because their power decreases under the pressure of tree sap, bird droppings, and other contaminants.

    Keeping it classy

    These 5 car maintenance tips help keep your car looking classy. And, when it does, everything else seems to run better, too. Finding the time to do it correctly can challenge you, but thinking of it as a commitment to protect your return on investment will make it more relaxing than work. To try and save time and be more productive, you may also resort to auto repair software.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
