No matter how old your car is, if you keep it shining right from day one, it never looks old. Here are some tips to make your car look new even after 10 years.

1. Wash your car regularly
You should wash your car throughly about once a week. Things like dust particle, bird droppings etc accumulate on the body of the vehicle and attracts moisture resulting in corrosion. Washing the car and keeping it clean makes the moisture dry up quickly. Usage of a mild car shampoo is recommended for removing of stains if any.

2. Wax your car regularly
Wax protects the paint of the car and also minimizes the harm caused due to chemicals. A good quality wax stays on for at least 3 months protecting your car and giving it a shiny look.

3. Removing stone injuries and rust
It is very necessary to clean the rust on the body and repaint the damaged portion which might be scratched due to minor accidents or stone hits. If not taken care of soon, it might damage and corrode the paint in surrounding area.

4. Cleaning windows and wheels
Most people do not realize this, but it is true that if you just make all the glasses of your car sparkling clean, your car looks new. Similarly, it your tires are cleaned and polished black, they give a very clean and attractive look to the car.

5. Try to park your car inside the garage, rather than outside
If you regularly park your car outside under the blazing sun, chances are that the intense sun will do harm to your car paint. If it is not possible for you to park inside the garage, try to park it outside under a shade.
