It takes more than a magic wand to turn a rusting hood, sagging headliner, and torn upholstery into a thing of beauty. A vehicle's appearance is of major importance to both the car and owner, says the Car Care Council. They suggest several reasons motorists should be attuned to this issue. Among them are increased value, satisfaction, first impressions and the snowball effect. That's like extra money in the bank for the appearance conscientious car owner.
Many motorists spend as much time in their vehicles as they do in their living rooms.
A Rolls Royce is not a must, but a car that's clean and has that well cared for look is vital. A ding occurs on the side of the door, a rusty spot emerges on the bumper, a rear light gets broken and a knob works its way off the stereo. What began as one little job becomes many, perhaps involving paint, upholstery, molding and more. The best advice, according to the Council, is to keep your eyes open and correct problems immediately.
