Care for car kept outside

[fsuguy92]

Hey guys, just bought a 2016 Ecoboost Premium coupe and am loving the car! I live in an apartment so the car is outside kept. Aside from covering it, what can I do to make sure the exterior is well cared for?

Thanks!!

Ceramic coating and rinselss washes.

I have mine ceramic coated. It got nasty all through winter and it can still be shined up real nice with ease. Been almost a year and it still looks great, and so easy to clean

Ceramic coated for sure. Just did my car with CQuartz. Way easier to keep clean and its amazing how easy things like bird bombs come off the paint.

Just invested in a foam cannon and cordless leaf blower. I should be able to save actually touching the car for when its really dirty.

Get a cover. I spent a year and a half trying to keep up with the exterior. Bought a cover and I spend a tenth of the time I used to on cleaning.

OP, keep in mind that if you use a car cover when the car is dirty, you will cause scratches and swirl marks.

A foam cannon and leaf blower would be a great investment, but storage may be an issue.

If I were you, have the car professionally detailed and have the detailer add a ceramic coating. Also, NEVER bring your car to a mechanical car wash.
