Keeping Your Volkswagen Exterior in Great Condition
Part of the reason you purchased your Volkswagen is that it looks great roaming around town or the highway. As such, you want to do everything you can to keep it looking as great as it did when you first drove it. Thelen VW in Bay City, MI, would like to provide you with helpful tips that we have found keeps our vehicles looking as sharp as possible. Following these bits of advice will make caring for your Volkswagen’s exterior as simple as it can be all year long.
Tips for a Great Condition Volkswagen Exterior
Don’t Park Near Other Vehicles When Possible – Parking near other vehicles can introduce the potential of others accidentally hitting your vehicle when they open their doors. Despite being convenient to park closer to your destination, the danger of exterior damage is raised by choosing to do so. If you can, consider parking farther away and reducing your chances of door dings on your vehicle.
Use Indoor Parking Where Possible – If you have a garage, it is advised to keep your vehicle parked there year round. The outside elements such as wind, rain, and snow can not only make your vehicle dirty but can also gradually affect the finish of your paint. Keeping your Volkswagen in a garage mitigates the effects that the outside air can cause to your exterior. Additionally, if your destination has an option for indoor or covered parking, consider choosing this if you want to help keep your vehicle in the best condition possible.
Practice Good Cleaning Habits – When you want to keep your vehicle’s exterior clean, make sure that you have appropriate tools to prevent any scratching and other damage. Investing in microfiber towels to dry off your vehicle is a great option as they will be highly unlikely to leave scratches on your Volkswagen’s finish. Also, make sure that you are using cleaning products that are designed for vehicles and not standard soaps and cleaners. If you plan on waxing to keep your finish glossy, it is important to make sure the vehicle is completely clean before you introduce the wax.

The ID. Buzz Has Finally Been Unveiled
Since the first concept for the upcoming all-electric reintroduction of the iconic microbus was unveiled in 2017, the ID. Buzz has been an eagerly anticipated reveal. Earlier this month, Volkswagen finally gave an official release of the upcoming ID. Buzz that will be released to the United States sometime in 2024.

Tire Rotation & Balancing at Thelen VW
When your Volkswagen is navigating the various bumps and uneven driving surfaces found all across mid-Michigan, your tires take the brunt of the force. This results in uneven wear and throws off the balance of your tires. Having unbalanced tires and ones that are more worn than others can cause damage over time to your vehicle, as well as make more demanding road and weather conditions difficult to confidently handle. Thankfully, Thelen VW in Bay City is pleased to say that having your tires balanced and rotated is a simple and inexpensive process that will aid in the longevity of your tire health!
Why Should You Balance & Rotate Your Tires?
When you bring your vehicle in for a tire rotation, you are ensuring the health of your tires for the maximum amount of time possible. Not all tires wear down evenly, and this leaves your grip compromised. By rotating your tires so that less worn tires are placed where more worn tires were and vice-versa, even wear is achieved across the entire set. This can also reduce the need to purchase a whole new set of tires for longer.
As for balancing, each tire takes varying levels of force during a daily driving session in mid-Michigan. That can and often will throw the balance of your tires off. By scheduling a tire balancing, Thelen VW technicians will use equipment to determine if special weights need to be applied to certain tires to restore balance. You can count on this process being quick to help get your vehicle back on the road sooner.
