You want to paint your living room? DIY! You are interested in putting in an herb garden? DIY!
You need to fix a slow drain in your shower? DIY (and blame anyone with a lot of hair in your household for clogging it up). There are endless do-it-yourself projects that are worthwhile, cost-saving, effective, and even satisfying at the end of the day. And then there is tackling your car’s paint job. This is not a DIY job. Unless you are a collision or auto body specialist on a day off, this is better left for the pros.
Summer brings so much beautiful weather. It warms up, the flowers bloom, and we can ditch our winter coats. Yet spring also brings storms. They can be both beautiful and awesome to witness, enthralling, and destructive in turn. From hailstorms to tornadoes, spring can turn from beauty to damage in the span of a few minutes. You have a good handle on how to protect you and your family, even your home. How do you protect your car from storms, though?
If you are looking to get out of spring cleaning duty in the house, we have a professional tip: get outside and do some spring cleaning on your car. It’s more fun, and if you choose the right music, you will even thoroughly enjoy it.
The Asheville area is known for nature. There are thousands of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails to explore within a short drive. Millions of tourists visit each year to drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, camp in one of the dozens of campgrounds, go trout fishing or kayak along with one of the many pristine waterways, and generally get away from the hustle and bustle of life for time in the woods.
Most of the year our weather is better than any other city in North Carolina and throughout the South. The winters are mild compared to other high elevation towns, while our summers are cooler than our neighboring cities like Charlotte and Greenville. Nevertheless, there is no area on the East Coast immune from thunderstorms and tropical systems. Conventional wisdom might say that tropical storms do not reach the mountains; however, those systems can actually wreak havoc in Buncombe and Henderson Counties, with elevation often enhancing their impact. Even run-of-the-mill cold fronts can bring vigorous storms with higher wind and heavier rain due to our terrain.
Dents and dings are part of every vehicle owner’s life. No matter how careful you are, you cannot always avoid those stray shopping carts, hail, distracted drivers, fender benders, and other hazards to your car’s paint job. While this type of minor damage does not affect how your rig rides, it is important to address dents, dings, scratches, and scrapes as soon as you can.
