If you bought a classic car for your collection or driving pleasure, you obviously want to be able to drive it and keep it looking good. To do this, you need to take care of the interior and exterior and make sure that it remains in a good condition. Classic cars should be treated with care and not just any materials or chemicals can be used on it. Follow these simple care tips to make sure that your classic car looks good and runs well.

Keep it clean – You should have it hand washed or hand wash it yourself on a regular basis. A good time is before you take it out and as often as you need to keep the paint looking good and avoid rust, dirt, and other impurities from causing damage.

Wax it after washing – To get that great paint job to shine, give it a good wax after you have hand washed it. A good general rule is to wax it every 6 months. You can obviously use your own discretion depending on what you do with the car and how often you take it out.

The interior is also important – You should also pay attention to the interior of your car. It’s no use to have a beautiful exterior while the interior looks like a junk yard. Use leather creams, vinyl cleaners, and UV protectors to make your seats and interior look as great as the outside of the car.

Keep the engine healthy – This is not only important because people generally want to hear the engine roar, but also because it will ensure a longer life for your engine. With regular oil changes, your engine will remain healthy. It is also important that you change the other car fluids regularly.

Take care of your breaks – Creaking or squeaking breaks will not wow onlookers. Instead, it may make them laugh. Make sure that your breaks are taken care of and replaced when necessary.

If you follow these simple care tips, your classic car will be a hit and you will love driving it and showing it off.
