Hello RideRespect followers!
Based on the weather in the Northeast US this year, you might think that Mother Nature is keeping your car clean for you. Well, unfortunately, this is not the case. All of that rainwater contains unwanted minerals and can actually make your paint look more dull than if it had not gotten wet at all! Also, when you drive in the rain all of the grime and oil from the road gets picked up and thrown onto the exterior of your ride by the cars in front of and around you.
So, it does not take a rocket scientist to understand that you need to wash your ride after every rain storm in order to preserve its delicate paint and clear coat finish. I also recommend an extra coat of wax to help prevent oxidation and grimy buildup too. Taking the time to do a good hand cleaning of the exterior using a cleaner wax or bug and tar remover is also a good way to give your Ride a little extra sparkle after waxing.
Remember to always use a chamois to clean the water off your paint after a wash. This will keep it shiny and sharp between wax applications.
Keep it clean and get some Respect this 4th of July weekend!
