Is Spring Cleaning Overrated?

WE HAVE REASONS TO BELIEVE IT’S UNDERRATED.

Sure. Beauty is only skin deep. But that doesn’t mean it’s without value. And in the case of luxury automobiles, it goes a lot deeper than paint.

Spring is the right time to undertake a thorough cleaning of your Jaguar or Land Rover for a number of reasons. All of which will increase your vehicle’s value, both in terms of resale or lease return appraisal and in your enjoyment of such a significant investment. Here are some things to consider.

  • Paint Protects: A professional wash, polish, and wax will obviously do wonders to restore your vehicle’s original luster. But more importantly, it provides longterm protection to the paint which, in turn, protects the metal underneath.
  • Interior Clean: Shampooing carpets and upholstery not only makes the interior look and smell better, but it removes grit that can accelerate the breakdown of carpet fibers, leather, and finishes such as wood.
  • Cabin Air Filter: Part of a thorough spring cleaning is replacing your cabin air filter. That filter is responsible for removing pollutants, such as pollen, dust, smog, and mold spores before air is circulated through your air conditioning system.
  • Wheels & Tires: While proper wheel and tire cleaning is largely cosmetic, it is an opportunity to inspect for tread wear, sidewall damage, or cracks in rims. What is detected during that process could point to problems with alignment or brakes.

That’s why the Service Technicians at Cole European highly recommend at least an annual, professional detail be performed on your Jaguar or Land Rover. Not only will you have the immediate satisfaction of a new-looking vehicle, but longterm resale value will be higher or, if you are leasing, you are less likely to be subject to excess wear-and-tear charges. So treat yourself to a thorough spring cleaning and see if you don’t agree.

“THE RESPONSIBLE RANGE ROVER”

There’s more to saving the planet than saving gas

While Land Rover has made significant strides in improving gas mileage over the years, people are often unaware of all the other advances that have been made to protect our environment.

Land Rover strives to make each generation of Land Rover and Range Rover more environmentally sustainable than the prior. To do so, every aspect of the vehicle’s life cycle is examined for ways to reduce potential impact. It’s called the “Life Cycle Assessment” process and has yielded improvements in production methods all the way to considering how the vehicle will ultimately be disposed.

Consider that renewable resources, such as leather, wood, natural rubber, and cotton not only make for a more luxurious experience, but they are often better choices for the environment. And by shifting to sturdier-yet-lighter aluminum bodies and components, these Land Rovers and Range Rovers are more efficient and fun to drive.

And perhaps most important of all, Land Rovers and Range Rovers are built to last. And the longer a vehicle lasts, the fewer the vehicles that need to be produced to replace it.

So if you’re considering the purchase or lease of any SUV, we encourage you to visit Cole European and allow us to share some of the other innovations that make driving a Range Rover more responsible than you might assume.
