Decades after its introduction to the market, the American Motors Javelin still continues to turn heads wherever it goes; it's like a rite of passage for every boy to at least have a go at it. Its sleek design and great performance are undoubtedly what make the Javelin a treasure even after all these years, making it a type of car that is worth preserving. With that being said, here are simple ways on how you can keep your Javelin looking good and running a bit longer:

A gorgeous car like the American Motors Javelin deserves to be cleaned thoroughly not only to keep its great appearance but also to assure that it will be protected from corrosion. Make sure that you hose off even the hidden exterior parts of your car, especially the ones underneath, to ensure that you'll be able to remove every bit of dirt, mud, and debris. When there's filth left behind, they tend to accumulate moisture that could react with the car's bodywork, causing rust to develop.

Giving your Javelin a car wax won't just improve its looks but will also protect to its body panels. The car wax will help protect the paint from fading easily faded as well as from chipping off, thereby adding another protective layer for your car. With a premium-quality car wax, water tends to stream down more easily rather than staying long on the car surface. Before applying car wax, make sure to inspect your car too for possible nicks and dents on the paint. If there's any, touch it up first. Once you're sure that there's no more exposed part, then you can already proceed with the car wax.

Over time, car fluids can become contaminated from being exposed to intense heat and pressure. And that is a no-no if you want to maintain the proper functions of your car's important systems and components. Allow your car parts, like the engine, to run on contaminated fluid, is pretty much like leading them to self destruction. So check the level of your car's fluids regularly and top up those that are nearing or already below the minimum line.

The accessory and timing belts of your car are the ones that drive your engine and car features such as the alternator, the air conditioning compressor, and the water pump. And as time goes by and given the type of environment they work in, those belts eventually wear out, develop cracks or may come loose, and eventually break from all the rotating movement they do. So keep an eye on them and watch out for signs of deterioration such as cracks and fraying. If you're already seeing those signs on your accessory and timing belts, then you better have them replaced before they suddenly give up and cause you more trouble.
