Learn How Easy It Is to Keep the Exterior of Your Volkswagen Looking Great in Mid-Michigan
Keeping Your Volkswagen’s Exterior Looking Sharp is Easy
Driving around in a clean and sharp-looking vehicle makes the journey even more satisfying knowing you are presenting a confident presence on the road. Helping make your already visually appealing VW vehicle even more stunning by routinely keeping it clean is easy with a little time and know-how. Thelen Volkswagen in Bay City, MI, is here to help you keep your favorite family cruiser looking great with our favorite tips. Not only are they easy to follow and implement, but you’ll also appreciate the noticeable improvements immediately. If you’d like professionals to handle all your detail work for you instead, Thelen has its own Body Shop available where we will be happy to conduct a thorough cleaning on your vehicle both inside and out!
Our Favorite Tips for Keeping Our Volkswagen Models Clean
Invest in Proper Car-Washing Equipment & Supplies – The first step to ensuring a consistent result each time you decide to handwash the exterior of your Volkswagen is having the appropriate supplies and tools on hand. We suggest having several lint-free and/or microfiber cloths available to ensure no scratches are left behind during the cleaning process. A chamois allows you to better dry up the water off your vehicle and prevent streaks. Finally, we highly recommend purchasing both detergent that is designed for automobiles and car wax. Both of these will lend to an overall fantastic finished product.
Try & Wash Your Vehicle Out of Direct Sunlight – While you’re washing your vehicle, you don’t want the water to dry before you’re ready to properly wipe it off. This is because any dirt or other contaminants that might be in the water will stick to the paint and leave a noticeable watermark if it dries too quickly. As such, we recommend not washing your vehicle when the sun is at its highest or if it is exceptionally hot out during the year.
Wax Does More Than Shine Up the Paint – After using your favorite detergent to thoroughly clean the exterior of your vehicle, waxing the vehicle offers several benefits. In addition to offering a glistening shine that you’ll love, the wax will also help protect the underlying paint from water and grime. This makes each subsequent cleaning even easier to undertake and makes the overall maintenance of your Volkswagen’s exterior more consistent over time.

Why You Should Include a Tire Rotation & Balance in Your Routine Volkswagen Maintenance Appointment
The Importance of Tire Rotation & Balancing in Michigan on Your VW
While an integral element of any routine maintenance appointment that you should have done on your Volkswagen, tire rotation and balancing can be easily overlooked when it comes to your checklist. Your tires need to be regularly rotated and balanced to ensure even wear, greater overall ride stability, and lessening the wear and tear on your vehicle. If you don’t do this, you’ll quickly run into an uneven ride while also needing to replace tires faster than you would normally expect to. If you want to schedule a tire rotation and balance as part of your regular maintenance, contact the Service Center at Thelen VW in Bay City, MI. We will be happy to make sure your tires are properly serviced so that you have the best ride possible in mid-Michigan.
What are Tire Rotation and Balancing?
Tire Rotation – When you drive around town or the highway, your tires take varying levels of wear based on a variety of factors. Since this wear isn’t equal on all four wheels, different tires will wear faster than others. By rotating tires that show heavier signs of wear to the spots where tires have less wear and vice-versa, you get even wear across all four tires. This promotes a better ride, more reliable grip, and greater longevity for your set of tires going forward.
Tire Balancing – When your tires and the wheels they are fitted to are imbalanced, your Volkswagen’s suspension starts to feel the differing forces. As a result, you may start to experience vibrations even when you’re driving down a straight road. If left unchecked, this can cause damage to your vehicle’s suspension. By placing little weights on tire-wheel assemblies that are determined to be imbalanced, you and your vehicle will appreciate the immediate smoothness that comes as a result of the service.
