Who doesn’t love the look, feel, and smell of a freshly washed car? We’re pretty sure we all do. At the same time we can easily let too much time pass between washes.
While a car wash does mean less time spent looking at a dingy vehicle and escaping that otherwise inevitable “wash me” tag, it’s also a top way to preserve your vehicle’s condition. In fact, car washing should be considered a part of scheduled maintenance, not a passing afterthought. We’re going to discuss five reasons why this is true, and how regular car washing can help you protect and preserve your vehicle and your investment.
Ignoring car washing until it’s screaming at you is not the best approach. Here’s why.
Another potential benefit that you might experience is less drag, due to a clean, smooth exterior. Over time, that increase in aerodynamics could add up to better fuel economy. And hey, we’ll take whatever savings we can get in that department!
How Often Should You Wash Your Car?
A simple rule of thumb is that when dirt is visible on your car’s exterior, it’s time for a wash. This makes sense, and falls in line with any other sort of routine cleaning we do in our homes and offices. Getting that thin layer of grime off of your car’s paint now means far less scrubbing, wear and tear later on. We’d say that, depending on your local climate, weather, and specific environmental factors, a weekly or bi-weely car wash is a good starting point. Once you’re in the routine, you’ll be able to get a better gauge on how quickly debris builds up, and this can shift depending on the season.
In the long run, regular washing – like all forms of maintenance – will save you money in the form of avoidable repairs down the road. And most often, professional car washes use far less water than you will if you wash at home. So spare yourself the workout, waste, and water bill – make professional car washing a regular treat to your car, and to yourself.
