Your Kia is a great investment to keep you on the road for all the miles ahead! So it just makes sense that you’ll want to take care of your vehicle and keep it looking good for as long as possible. Did you know that when you care for your car’s exterior properly, you’re also making sure that future damage is lessened and even eliminated in some cases? For example, when you decontaminate the paint, you make it harder for the paint to be damaged and start rusting away? Wax is not only great for a shine on your vehicle, but it keeps particulates from getting into the paint and causing microabrasions! These and our other car care tips listed below can same you a whole lot of time and money down the road! So, check them out below and, if you don’t have the time to act on these tips yourself, bring your car into the King Kia Service Center and let us do the job for you!

King Kias Exterior Care Tips:
Wash Your Car
- Make sure that you’re washing your car properly. Whenever you wash your vehicle, make sure you’re using an automotive soap or shampoo in conjunction with a microfiber cloth or wash mitt. There are a lot of great YouTube videos out there about washing your car properly – take a look! Just make sure that you’re washing your vehicle regularly and not damaging the paint when you do it.
Wax On
- Waxing your vehicle is the next important step. The wax (or protectant spray) not only makes sure that your paint looks great after you’ve washed it, but it can protect from dust, dirt, and other debris that can damage your car’s exterior.
Try A Clay Bar
- These can be bought at pretty much any auto parts store, or online, and are very effective in removing stuck-on or embedded contaminants from your paint and restoring the shine. Always lubricate the surface before using your clay bar, and follow the directions (or a video) to make sure you’re treating your paint well.
Remember To Check Your Undercarriage
- If you find that your vehicle is susceptible to rust, or you’ve had problems with rust on your past vehicles, consider getting your vehicle undercoated to make sure that the undercarriage stays strong and free of rust, regardless of the weather.
Touch Up
- The final thing to do is to spot-check and spot-fix if needed. If you notice a scratch on your vehicle, take care of it with touch-up paint and polish to keep rust from developing. If the scratch is deep, bring it to us as soon as possible so that we can take care of it for you. Always keep a weather eye out!
