With all the vehicle designs and upgrades you can add to your truck, it can be difficult to decide what to choose. You want your pickup truck to reflect you best, whether it's a luxury or work truck. Here are a few ideas to enhance your truck's interior and exterior to get your vehicle looking its best.
Detailing Tips
Whether you decide to detail your truck on your own or take it to a professional, you should know the process and products to use.
For your interior, make sure you start with an air compressor to blow all the first onto the carpets so you can vacuum it off after with no problem. To clean any upholstery, make sure you're using the right cleaner for your fabric, as regular cloth cleaners will damage leather.
You need a non-acid-based cleaner for your tires to avoid anything eating away at your rubber. In addition, don't use dish soap to wash your truck, as this can eat at the protective coating. Instead, use a car wash solution, and dry it properly with a microfiber towel to avoid mineral deposits.
Polish will give your paint that brand new look, especially if you can get your hands on an oscillating buffer. You don't necessarily have to wax your truck, but a good wax will absorb surface nicks and scratches. Also, remember to always wash your windows last.
Exterior Upgrades
If you're looking to improve the exterior of your car, you have a few options. While there are plenty of exterior upgrades to improve the look of your car, paint is the main road to exterior refurbishment. However, each car paint comes with a few pros and cons.
Urethane car paint is diverse as it can be sprayed over almost anything, and it's highly durable; however, it can leave a plasticky look and is usually expensive. Metallic car paint offers a unique effect and increases the resale value—but fixing any scratches will make blending difficult and costly. Acrylic paint is affordable and leaves a glossy finish, but it doesn't last nearly as long as the other paints as it fades quickly in the sun.
Interior Refurbishes
If you don't want to invest in reupholstering your vehicle, seat covers are the next best thing. In today's world, you can have your set covers customized almost any way. They can be made with many different fabrics and materials and come with padding where you need it most—like lumbar support.
The same goes for steering wheel covers. Long gone are the days of ugly cloth covers. Instead, steering wheel covers can improve the grip and look of your steering wheel.
Floor mats are another great way to spruce up your interior. Whether or not you use your truck for off-roading, weatherproof floor mats are always best. Plus, most places offer to put logos and pictures on your floor mats for maximum customization.
Your truck deserves the best, so be sure to follow these ideas to enhance your truck's interior and exterior. Start improving your pickup truck today; all you need to start with is a good wash.
