Whether you are the proud owner of a classic or prestige car, or just an everyday runaround, vehicle maintenance matters. Giving your vehicle the tender loving care it deserves can unlock several plus-points, with the inner workings of your car preserved, money saved on expensive repairs, and even your fuel costs taking a nose dive.

For high-class, prestige vehicles in particular – a car type that’s known for its unique blend of luxury, performance and comfort – there are several maintenance tasks to tick off throughout the year. From spring and summer to autumn and winter, your prestige car needs your care and attention, and you can give it just that using the following tips…

Take pride in its appearance

One of the things that attracted you to your prestige vehicle in the first place will have been its good looks! Make sure you keep up appearances with a regular, good old-fashioned car clean. Vacuum your prestige car’s interior at least once a week, and wash, polish and wax its exterior regularly to remove any blemishes, boost shine and prevent the build-up of damaging dirt.

When cleaning, don’t be tempted to choose the convenience of an automated car wash over a hand finish. A professional car clean will ensure the attention to detail your prestige vehicle deserves.

Don’t skip the basics

Those maintenance musts we mentioned earlier should look after what’s under the bonnet too. Basics like keeping your fluid levels (oil and water) topped up and checking the pressure of your prestige car’s tyres will keep your vehicle ship-shape in between those MOTs and services.

Keep it covered

Your prestige vehicle needs protection from the elements all year round, not just during the harsh winter months. If you don’t have a garage, investing in a waterproof cover is the next best thing and it’ll give your prestige car the extra protection to stay in tip top condition.
