Improve the chances of selling your car without spending a fortune

If you are trying to sell your car you will obviously want to get the most for it you possibly can. You could go all out getting the alloy wheels refurbished or having panels resprayed but you may be surprised how you can improve the car by just adding a few little touches yourself.

Valet – Paying £20 to £50 for a professional valet can take years off a car especially if you have neglected it a bit. A good valet will get rid of years of dirt along with unwanted odours and can add a shine back to your paintwork.

Car accessories – Invest in a set of new car mats. These can cover up wear and tear on your carpets and make a car look almost new inside. You could also add new door foot plates or boot liner if you want to go that extra mile.

Never try and spray a car panel yourself. Even touch up pens can make paint work look worse than leaving a chip exposed. If you want to get it done, take it to a reputable paint sprayer.
