Protecting Your Vehicle’s Exterior: Not Just About Looks

Birmingham’s mix of scorching summers, pollen-heavy springs, and road salt winters can wreak havoc on your car’s exterior. That shiny paint isn’t just for show—it’s a shield against rust, UV rays, and corrosion. At Auto Repair 74, we’ve helped drivers from Hoover to Mountain Brook preserve their vehicles’ value with simple, proactive care. Here’s how to keep your car looking new.

Why Exterior Care Matters

  • Prevent Rust: Road salt on I-65 accelerates metal corrosion.
  • Block UV Damage: Alabama sun fades paint and cracks dashboards.
  • Maintain Resale Value: Chips and scratches slash trade-in prices.

Essential Protection Tips

  1. Regular Washes: Remove pollen and salt weekly.
  2. Waxing: Apply every 3 months for UV protection.
  3. Paint Chip Repair: Fix scratches before rust sets in.
