Why KAPCI Paint Finishes Stand Out in Nigeria
Before I go ahead to teach you tips for maintaining KAPCI car paint finishes, I want to show you the reasons KAPCI Paint finishes distributed by Fidel Associates Limited are ideal for Nigerian car owners. Follow me closely.
KAPCI car paint is known widely for its high quality and durability. The paints are resistant to peeling, fading, chipping, and some other problems that can be caused by Nigeria’s harsh weather and roads. Using KAPCI paints for your car is one of the best decisions you will make as a Nigerian car owner. Trust me when I say that.
Let’s see how you can maintain this paint on your car after using it.
Tips for Maintaining KAPCI Car Paint Finishes
Here is the step-by-step guide you can take to maintain KAPCI car paint finishes. I understand that you are reading this article because of this particular section, so I will explain everything clearly. If you still have any questions, do not hesitate to ask in the comment section.
1. Ensure Regular and Proper Washing
This is like the first line of your defense. When it rains, the sand particles that stick to the paint if not washed out can wear down the paint over time. The same applies to dust that comes during harmattan. It does not just make the car dirty but causes scratches and a dull finish if left for long.
To wash properly without damaging the paint, do the following;
· Use the right shampoo specially made for washing cars. It is easy to quickly grab a dish soap, but these dish soaps contain elements that are too harsh on the paint. Fidel Associates Limited recommends car shampoos that help the durability of KAPCI finishes.
· Do not use towels or rough sponges, instead opt for microfiber clothes. The microfiber clothes are usually softer and will not cause fine scratches on your paint.
· It is advisable to start washing the car from the top to the bottom. This is simply so that dirt will run down on the already-cleaned surfaces when you get to the top.
2. Regular Waxing is Recommended
If you really want to keep your car’s paint shining for a long time, you must apply wax from time to time. This wax provides protection and serves as a barrier between your paint and external elements like harsh weather.
To do this, get the right wax. All waxes are not designed with the same strength. This is why Fidel Associates supplies waxes that match perfectly the KAPCI finishes to help you out.
While applying the wax, use a soft applicator and move around the surface slowly till there is an evenly distribution. Do not be in haste. You can be doing this every 3 to 4 months as the case may be.
3. Protect Your Car from The Sun
I am glad that many Nigerians are learning this already. The UV rays from the sun are one of the biggest problems of car paint, including yours. These rays lead to fading, peeling, and dulling of paints, particularly during the dry season.
It is advisable to park under shade or in a garage or a carport. If any of these are not available, then, get a very good car cover. There is also something called UV-protective waxes which you can apply to the car paint to block the sun’s rays. You can make more inquiries about it by speaking to Fidel Associates.
4. Remove Bird Droppings, Tree Saps, or Muds Immediately
When you park your car under a tree as a form of shade, you are likely to see things like bird droppings, tree sap, and the rest. You must remove them as soon as possible to avoid damage to the paint when it sticks.
You can use soft clothes, warm or cold water, specialized sap remover, and others to remove these substances. Washing these substances off immediately after you see them will save your car’s KAPCI paint from scratches and dents.
5. Tackle Any Scratch Before It Becomes More Problem
You see that little scratch you ignore, that is what turns into a problem later. Deal with it once it happens. It can be a scratch from rough roads, minor accidents, or even your fellow drivers/ car owners.
When you notice the scratch, use the touch-up kits to fix it and polish it too. It will leave your paint looking flawless as before, but in a situation where the scratch is deep, exposing the metal underneath or the primer, go for professional help. The experts will help fix it to avoid further damage.
6. Stop Using Harsh Chemicals On Your Car
I have said it earlier but let me throw more light. The household cleaning products that we use to wash our cars are not advisable as they contain harsh substances that can strip away the glossy look and protective coatings on the car.
The best to use is the specified car shampoos, cleaners, and polishes. Fidel Associates Limited supplies a lot of them that complement the longevity of KAPCI paint finishes.
Conclusion
If we were in the class now, I would have asked you to state what you learned because I am sure you learned a lot from this post.
