After the holidays, take care of your car
Mechanical checks, bodywork maintenance (detailing) and high-end protection: the My Roadster® method to preserve the performance and especially the shine of your car after the summer.
1. Mechanical checks after the holidays
A luxury or sports car must remain impeccable, including its mechanical maintenance:
- Check your levels: Engine oil and coolant should be checked after long journeys in the heat.
- Top up your windshield washer fluid: a simple but essential step for safety and visibility. Use a quality windshield washer fluid.
- Brakes and tires: A visit to a garage is recommended to check the wear of the brake pads, discs, and the condition of the tires. Also, check the alignment.
- Annual maintenance: If your service has not yet been carried out this year, now is the ideal time to schedule this essential step.
2. Maintaining your car's bodywork
After hundreds of kilometres and miles, you've come home with a bodywork that bears the marks of the journey: dust, tar, and encrusted insects. To maintain the shine of a Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Maserati, Bentley, Audi, Mercedes, other GTs, and other cars, you need to go beyond a simple wash. And above all, NEVER use a roller!
- Deep wash and decontamination to remove all impurities.
- Polishing to restore shine and remove micro-scratches.
- Protection: wax or ceramic treatment to prolong the mirror effect and protect the paint against damage.
👉 For a perfect result, find a recommended car detailer in your area. Some detailing professionals are able to restore your car to a subliminal state, worthy of an exhibition or showroom.
3. The final touch: protecting your sports car in its garage
Once your car is spotless, don't leave it vulnerable to dust or micro-scratches. Whether in your garage (or even outside), it deserves the best protection.
