After you purchase that brand new beautiful car, you want to keep it as shiny and new looking as the first day you purchased it. You've even spent extra money on a few aftermarket car parts and accessories. This is a serious investment for you and you never want to be ashamed of how your car looks -both on the outside and inside of the car. With a few extra aftermarket accessories and some routine detailing and waxing, people will still be jealous of your ride years later.
Before we worry about the outside, you need to take care of the inside. There is nothing worse then seeing a beautiful Mustang that ends up being full of dirt, mud, and trash. When you purchase a car, it will already come with floor mats, but you should probably invest in higher quality mats. Vinyl and rubber mats are great at picking up all that dirt and grime. All-weather mats are also good at keeping the dirt off the actual floor. Just shake these mats out and for tougher grime, clean them with a hose. Carpeted mats will match better with your car and give it a more plush and elegant look. They will still do an excellent job of catching dirt, but they will be harder to clean.
One way to help keep dirt off the outside of your car is to attach mud flaps or skins. These aftermarket accessories shield the car from the dirt, gravel, and mud that tires kick up. These are an essential for trucks, but you can put them on your sedan or SUV too. They are especially good for people who live off the beaten path and do a lot of off-road driving. But avoiding dirt completely is, of course, impossible. If you don't own a garage, your car will be susceptible to the elements unless you purchase a cover for the car.
Regularly cleaning out your car will keep it in much better shape. Never leave trash in the car. The longer it stays, the longer the smell will linger. Vacuum the floor and dust off all the little nooks and crannies. You can take your car to be cleaned every month, but there is a sense of pride when you wash it yourself. Besides using simple car cleaners, you should also detail and wax it. You'll need some microfiber towels, detailer, and polish or wax. Always wash and dry the car thoroughly before you apply the other products. People tend to forget how dirty the doorjamb can get, so make sure you clean this with the detailer after the wash. Black trim treatment can be used on the trim of the car and keep the trim a nice, rich black color. You can either polish and wax by hand or use a power tool. Either way, you need to be gentle so you don't ruin the paint job.
With a few aftermarket accessories and some elbow grease, your car will always sparkle in the sunlight. A car is an investment and needs to be treated as such.
