Tips to Keep Your Lexus in Top Shape

When it comes to owning a luxury vehicle, it is important to keep it looking and running its best. From the moment you leave the dealership lot, depreciation is taking place. While some wear and tear is inevitable, there are ways to reduce this. This blog will go over some tips you can utilize to keep your Lexus from accumulating too much wear and tear.

The Interior of Your Lexus

One of the easiest places to start is the interior of your Lexus. Try to keep trash and other unnecessary items out of your vehicle. This can be hard for some people, but you can start with cleaning out your Lexus weekly. Before you know it, you will be automatically disposing of your trash daily. You may want to consider shaking out the floor mats, vacuuming, or dusting your vehicle every few weeks. This helps keep debris out of your car. If you find yourself constantly using the cargo area, consider purchasing a cargo mat or organizers. Not only does this protect the cargo floor and siding, but it can protect your belongings.

This includes parking away from other cars in a parking lot, keeping a safe distance from vehicles on the road, and utilizing a garage for storage whenever possible. Do not park your Lexus under trees, as the branches can fall and scratch the vehicle and sap can potentially damage the paint. If you have a remote to unlock your Lexus, use that rather than the key. This is due to the fact that the key can scratch the area around the keyhole on your Lexus.
