- Keep it clean: Try to avoid getting the exterior dented or scratched and wash it regularly. You can also preserve the condition of your car’s interior by buying covers for the seats, steering wheel, and floor mats.
- Stay out of the sun: Dubai’s hot weather and sand can make your car’s exterior look old. Cracks can appear on your dashboard and paint can become dull. So, park your car in your garage or keep it covered if you want to sell car in Dubai, UAE.
- Clean up before you sell: Even the best-maintained cars can seem to be in poor shape because of minor visual defects. Before you show your car for sale, get it professionally cleaned and serviced. Simple things like polishing away scratches and re-gassing the AC can substantially change the buyer’s perception of your car.
