How much grooming is too much?
29 Oct 2007|2,620 views
We all love our cars, some more than others. It is perfectly normal after spending thousands of dollars; you will give your car a lot of attention. Bodykits, expensive light alloy rims, I.C.E that will shake the entire neighbourhood into a dance frenzy and a lot of car grooming products to keep it looking as good as possible for as long as possible. If you suddenly break into a snigger after reading this, I dare say, you know exactly what I am talking about. But can too much attention be damaging?
Let us turn our attention to your car's paintwork. In this case, the answer is definitely, Yes! Too much attention will indeed damage that brilliant factory paint job.
A recent visit to a prominent car accessories shop left me speechless. I knew exactly what I wanted and so I thought it would be a short visit. Go in, grab and leave. But I was wrong. I needed car shampoo but was overwhelmed by the number of products (each claiming to be better than the others) on the shelves. There were at least 10 different brands and that was just the shampoo. There were also waxes, pre-waxes, liquid waxes, clay, shampoo with wax and it goes on and on.
So which is the better brand? I am not concerned with that. What I would like to address in this article is, are we paying too much attention to these waxes and whatnots that it is actually causing more harm than good? Because we know that is the case with children. Too much attention spoils them and they turn out to be more rotten than ever!
Shampoos and waxes contain abrasive compounds to remove dirt and stains. These compounds would also, at the same time, eat into your paintwork. They cannot differentiate stains from the paint and would eat at anything they are applied on. So, if you keep waxing and polishing, you are literally rubbing the paintwork off your car.
Before it rolls out of the factory, the paintwork on your car is layered with a clear coat. This clear coat gives off a brilliant finish and at the same time protects the paint from the harsh elements of the environment. Without this clear coat, the paint would wear off fast and your car will forever be draped in a dull, boring finish. Thus, we have to be really selective about the products we use and we really have to understand the process of washing and waxing our car. Sounds too difficult because you have other things to worry about, like family and your job? Well then, thank goodness because we have professionals to help us out. Most car care companies recommend that your car be polished once every 8 weeks. So, why not send the car to a professional? It will save you time and effort and more importantly, really protect your paintwork and keep your car in showroom condition.
Joseph Mobile Car Polish takes this car grooming business one step further. Having been in the business since 2001, they understand that the average Singaporean has practically no time to polish their cars, as they should. As such, instead of you going to them, they come to you. Yes ladies and gentlemen, mobility is indeed the "in" word in today's society. But at what cost?
The curious cat in me got me ringing up the company to ask for their rates. Surely, with the added cost of having a van to transport equipment and manpower, the rates would be way higher than the others. But I was pleasantly surprised to hear the voice at the other end of the receiver saying, "That would be $10 more". Now, is that a bargain or what? For just ten dollars more, I do not have to go down to their shop, wait at the shop for hours and I am free to attend to more pressing matters while my car gets some proper grooming love sealed with a kiss of shine.
If that is not convincing enough, having your car groomed with Joseph Mobile Car Polish would also remove dirt and stains and leave the car shining without damaging the original paintwork. At Joseph's, they use only top grade grooming products from Autoglym and proper grooming techniques to restore, not strip, the clear coat. Depth, shine and satisfaction are what you will get at the end of the process. Expect them to also apply their expertise in leather care and cushion wash on your car. Their interior and exterior wash will ensure that your car leave their premises as clean as it can ever get and you, beaming with pride.
After understanding their modus operandi, I went on to book an appointment to polish my '67 Ford Anglia. I am almost certain they will be able to restore my baby back to its original finish.
A good wash is certainly needed once in a while but do take note of the cleaning products that you use, especially the waxes and clay. They may do more harm than you think and if you do not have the time to visit the nearest grooming workshop, you can now get it done right at your doorstep. Paintwork that is properly taken care of may even outlast the COE of your car!
