Car accessories are essential for preserving the quality and condition of your vehicle. For instance, investing in premium E63 AMG accessories can significantly increase the performance, aesthetics, style, comfort, and overall capability of your car.
These carbon fiber car body parts are becoming increasingly popular due to their lightweight and durable nature, as well as their aesthetic appeal. However, if not taken care of, carbon fiber can begin to look dull and may suffer damage. To ensure these parts remain in optimal condition, it is important to maintain them regularly. Here are some steps to take to ensure these parts are properly cared for, as well as tips to avoid causing any damage.
Guidelines for Caring for Carbon Fibre Car Components:
Carbon fiber is different from metal, so the same techniques used for metal parts will not work. The following steps should be taken to maintain carbon fiber car body parts to ensure longevity.
Car Wash Dry:
- Clean carbon fiber E63 AMG accessories every 2 weeks to maintain them. Use a car detergent and water mixture and a soft-bristled brush or compressed air canister to loosen dirt. Wipe gently with a back-and-forth motion, taking care not to press too hard.
- Subsequently, rinse the car parts with water, then apply and rub the soapy mixture, and rinse it off with clear water.
- Soak the cloth in clean water and use it to wipe the surface of the carbon fiber part until
- It is completely clean.
Tip: When it comes to cleaning your carbon fiber wheels, a pressure washer and specialized carbon fiber cleaning agent are your best bet. Be sure to use a cloth and avoid any abrasive materials that can damage the surface of the carbon fiber. |
- After washing, you can either leave the car to air dry for 10 to 20 minutes, or you can use a soft microfiber cloth to dry it. It is important to ensure that all moisture is dried off the surface, as any water left behind can penetrate the fibers and cause deterioration.
Put A Layer Of Wax:
After drying your car, a coat of wax should be applied. Waxing the exterior helps to protect the carbon fiber from heat and sunlight, reducing the risk of discoloration or dullness. It is suggested to apply the wax manually with a cloth rather than a machine, as the machine's speed could damage the top layer of carbon fiber. In this way, dirt and grime will not stick to the surface, making subsequent cleaning easier.
Polish The Top Layer
To help maintain the shiny appearance of carbon fiber car parts, you can use car polishes available in the market. Be sure to use car polish and not wax, as they have different purposes. To apply the polish, use an overlapping motion and let it dry for a few minutes. After the polish is dry, remove any excess product.
Other Precautionary Measures
- To ensure the longevity of your carbon fiber parts, it is important to inspect them regularly for signs of damage or wear. By doing this, you can detect and address any problems before they become more serious.
- For best results when cleaning your carbon fiber parts, use a soft microfiber cloth, a mild soap solution, and gentle cleaning techniques. Make sure to use a specific car detergent and not a laundry detergent, as the chemicals in laundry detergent can break down the exterior and cause car paint damage.
- Carbon fiber parts should be kept out of direct sunlight and rain, and parked in a shaded area or garage.
- To protect your car and its carbon fiber parts from bird droppings, tree sap, and other environmental elements, a high-quality car cover should be used when the car is parked outside.
Following these preventive maintenance tips will help maintain the superior performance and durability of your carbon fiber car parts. Taking the necessary steps to care for these Mercedes car parts will ensure that they remain in optimal condition.
