Avoid mechanical car washes that dull body trim and lights with surface scratches. Regular washing and waxing is far more effective than expensive paint protection packages. Wash car with reputable pH neutral car wash additive such as Meguiars, using a sponge or wash mitt. Most windscreen scratches are caused by wiper blades being torn away from the screen after the heat has caused them to stick. Peel wiper blades carefully away from screen after a week of intense heat and no rain. Glance at ground under mechanical parts for tell tale fluid leaks. Remove any food wrappers, printed material or plastic bags as the Aussie sun will bake out any oils or polymers and coat the inside glass and other parts with a greasy film. Remove seat or carpet stains immediately as per owner's handbook. Most modern paints are now water borne for environmental and health reasons and are susceptible to permanent fallout damage. Remove bird droppings or any other suspect stain immediately. If your car is hit or damaged, you will know where it happened and have a better chance of tracking down who did it. I know of one owner who drove her new car home from work blissfully unaware that someone had stolen everything below the bonnet while it was parked including all front lights, bumper and grille. Quick visual inspection of tyres, panels and body parts every time you drive. REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS FOR CARS UNDER FIVE YEARS OLD: There are companies who will fit side protection strips and bumper corners on site. Today's unprotected side panels and bumpers are a joke if you have to park in tight surroundings. There is a great choice of self-adhesive scuff plates for around $20/pair. Today's cost-cutting can leave unprotected paint inside each door sill. Getting the factory-approved seat covers as part of the initial purchase deal which will allow the side airbag to function could save you dollars compared to buying it as a separate part later. Universal seat covers must not be used on today's seats which contain side airbags. Better to buy a set of non-slip tailored mats which you can easily shake out for a quick clean. To replace the moulded carpets in today's cars, you will need to remove the seats, side trim and centre console which may involve unhooking the gear lever, handbrake, sound system, heating/ventilation and switchgear. They will also throw road grit along the side of the car causing paint chips that generate rust. If your car's wheelarches leave a lot of tyre exposed from the rear, your car will need washing more often. I prefer the self-adhesive clear film which can't get dirty on the back and will hold the headlight together to get you home if it takes a big hit. With the average imported headlight costing upwards of $400, this is a no-brainer. The sound of cracking plastic forces the touch parkers to back off before they do any real damage.

Faded dashes with cracks and splits can make a car unsaleable when the driver has to look at it all the time. Today's padded dashes can cost big money to repair or replace especially if airbags are involved.

I usually recommend the following extras for every new or used car I purchase for clients: Fit certain extras that can minimise the effects of age and wear then follow a schedule of simple checks and cleaning. There are two ways to attack this growing problem. Because these repairs are regarded as owner neglect, they are not covered under warranty. The growing tendency for owners not to open a car's bonnet for up to a year between services is generating catastrophic failures and huge repair bills. The extended service intervals of the latest models can soon prove to be false economy for many owners. The best way to save money on any car is to avoid unnecessary repairs.
