Cheap ways to get car paint
Whether it's black, yellow, or red, a car's paint is the hallmark of the car, not, let's face it, the owner. Unfortunately, urban conditions do not favor the body. Sun, rain, sand and bird activity put a car's paintwork through a lot of hardships. How to take care of a car body without losing a fortune?
Almost no season of the year is favorable for automotive paints. Even cars of the latest generations simply wear out over time, including their bodywork. In spring and summer, the main enemy of varnish is the scorching sun, which can burn it out, and bird droppings, which damage it (not to mention the dubious aesthetic qualities of such surprises). The autumn and winter months, which we are gradually entering, set slightly different tasks for the car body.
It's raining, the paint is fading
Snow and ice will certainly appeal to lovers of snow madness, but not necessarily to car owners. No wonder - rain can damage the paintwork. There is no one miracle cure that will protect your car all winter. The body, like other parts of the car, needs constant care. “Our experience shows that it is worth focusing on systematic care, which should not be expensive,” says David Fabis from Flotis.pl. – Remember that currently all costs associated with company cars can be monitored on an ongoing basis. This is possible thanks to GPS monitoring systems, and more specifically, thanks to the invoice registration function. Invoices collected in one place, in an understandable and transparent form, allow you to check and analyze costs and thus make it possible to reduce certain costs, adds D. Fabis. It is also worth remembering that a well-groomed paintwork gives the driver good indications. This should be especially remembered by people using official vehicles.
The power of prevention - wax in action
In order to know how to care for the paintwork, you first need to know what dangers lie in wait - in autumn and winter there are negative temperatures, ice, snowballs and salt. The lacquer is prone to scratches, discoloration or tarnishing. It is worth acting against damage - if finances allow - give the car a waxing. Wax starts at around PLN 35, but for most of them you will have to pay around PLN 100. Washing and waxing in a specialized workshop costs about PLN 150, but you can also find workshops that offer cheaper services or discounts for regular customers. What will give the car such processing? Definitely more resistant to weather conditions and external threats such as dirt. Another important piece of information: Waxing your car should be preceded by a thorough wash, otherwise it doesn't make much sense.
Scratch Remedy
Sometimes, however, it happens that even the most well-groomed varnish becomes a victim of scuffs, scratches and scratches. However, there is no need to cry over spilled milk, it is better to start corrective actions. There are many products on the market that can improve the condition of the paintwork. You can try to mask every small scratch with a special chalk, its cost starts from a few zlotys, the most popular models cost about 10-15 zlotys. You can also use a special polishing paste, which can be purchased for about PLN 20, to renew the varnish and eliminate minor defects. although more specialized and technologically advanced toothpastes cost up to PLN 60-80. Ultimately, if the damage to the paint is significant, you can decide to visit a specialist. The cost of refinishing paintwork varies greatly and depends largely on which repair program you choose. A simple lacquer update costs around PLN 300, but a deep restoration combined with damage protection is much more expensive - you should be prepared to spend around PLN 500-900.
