How to Protect Your Kia’s Car Paint

Kia vehicles are well-known for being affordable and reliable, but like any car, the paint job on your Kia is vulnerable to chips, scratches, tree sap, and more. Fortunately, when you finalize your new car purchase at your local Kia dealer, you can ask for car treatments that can protect your car paint. 

Some Tips on How to Protect Your Kia Car Paint

To protect your Kia paint job, you may want to opt for the Kia Total Paint and Wheel Protection package. This package is offered to new cars and sometimes certified-used cars. The paint protection portion of this package will protect your paint against acid rain, grime, salt, exhaust fumes, and UV rays.

When you ask for this protection plan, your car will be taken to the service center, where technicians will apply a hydrophobic layer to your paint job, wheel trims, and headlamps. The protective layer creates a chemical water-beading surface that is easy to clean and helps guard against the most common threats to your paint job. 

What Other Tips Can Protect Your Paint?

Whether or not you opt for the paint protection package, you can make simple changes as a car owner to protect your paint. You can make a habit of avoiding parking under trees or parking your vehicle in a carport to avoid tree sap and UV rays. Using a car cover can also offer physical protection from the elements, particularly if you don’t drive your car often. Some drivers may also consider adding wax paste or liquid that is safe for your existing clear-coat protection. 

How Else Can Your Local Kia Dealer Help You Preserve Your Car?

In addition to the Total Paint and Wheel Protection package, your local dealership can also hook you up with more protection packages. The Term Care Select Package will help protect your car from unexpected occurrences that may damage parts of your vehicle that are not already under warranty. Specifically, this package will apply to mechanical failure for items such as batteries, headlights, brake pads, belts, light bulbs, and windshield wipers. 

The Term Care Select Platinum Plus protection plan adds additional coverage perks, such as up to $200 per tire or wheel replacement, electrical coverage for fuses, and wheel alignment. The Kia Drive OneCard is a membership plan that provides key replacement, 24-hour roadside assistance, trip interruption, and lockout protection services. 

Keeping dirt, grime, acid, and other harmful substances off your car is the key to enjoying a new-looking Kia for years. Be sure to ask about car protection plans when you buy a new vehicle at DARCARS Kia of Temple Hills!
