Many people like white cars. This is because this color makes the car look more elegant, especially when compared to dark-colored cars. 

However, vehicles with white color tend to require more maintenance. To keep them shiny, durable, and not dull, let's take a look at how to care for white cars below.

1. Avoid Parking White Cars Under Direct Sunlight

As an effort to maintain the white car's color to remain elegant, you should avoid parking under direct sunlight. There are some dangers of frequently exposing cars to sunlight.

It is important to note that intense sunlight will cause white cars to turn yellowish. Therefore, try to park in shaded areas to prevent direct sunlight exposure. 

2. Use Special Soap 

Another tip for maintaining white cars is to use special shampoo or soap when washing. Generally, people often use bar soap, detergent, and others to wash their cars. 

In fact, this method of caring for white cars is not recommended, as using inappropriate soap can quickly damage the car's paint appearance.

Therefore, to keep the car's exterior well-maintained, it is advisable to use special soap or shampoo when cleaning the vehicle. 

In addition to keeping the car clean, this step will also help maintain the car so that it can last for a long time.

3. Wash the Car in a Shaded Area

The next step in caring for white cars is to avoid washing the vehicle under direct sunlight. In fact, this tip is not only specific to white cars but applies to all other colors as well. 

Usually, most people will wash their cars under direct sunlight, claiming that it will make the vehicle dry faster.

However, this method of caring for this color is actually not appropriate. Because this habit can change the appearance of the car's paint and make it look faded.

This is because when you use shampoo or soap to wash, the car will not be rinsed immediately. There is certainly a time gap between cleaning and rinsing.

This time gap causes the shampoo or soap to dry quickly, especially if you wash the car under direct sunlight. You should know that this can cause mold on the white car's body. 

Therefore, if you wash the car using shampoo, it is highly recommended to do so in a shaded area.

4. Use the Correct Car Washing Technique

When washing a car, the time gap between applying shampoo and rinsing is important to pay attention to. Just a slight delay in rinsing, and the shampoo will dry. 

To avoid this, it is recommended to rinse the part of the car that has soap on it before moving on to other parts. For more details, please read here.

White cars indeed have a more elegant appearance compared to other colors. However, special care is needed to keep the color shiny and not dull. 

These tips can be applied to maintain the appearance of white cars. It would be even better if you do periodic polishing, so the vehicle continues to look new.
