Hidden Benefits of Regular Car Washing in Vancouver

We often talk about the benefits of washing one’s vehicle, and there are many. Some of the benefits are obvious. For example, a clean vehicle looks better and is going to make you feel happier while driving it. But there are also some benefits that are not readily obvious. That is what we are going to talk about today in our blog article. 

Corrosion 

Most people know that dirt, road chemicals, bird droppings, and tree sap damage your paint. And downtown Vancouver will put you in contact with all of these substances on a regular basis. These materials, if left on for long periods will have a corrosive effect. What you may not realize is that by removing these materials with a car wash and preventing that corrosive effect, you will also help to prevent rust. 

Rust forms in areas where paint is damaged. So, if you prevent damage to the paint then you will also prevent rust. 

Resale 

Another lesser-known advantage is that of the ongoing value of your vehicle. A vehicle that has a body in good shape commands a higher resale value. By keeping your vehicle clean (and also waxing it) and preventing corrosion and rust as much as possible, especially in a downtown area like Vancouver, you increase or at least maintain a higher value if you ever want to sell your vehicle. 

Because long before a mechanic looks under the hood, the first thing a potential buyer looks at—in Vancouver or anywhere else—is what does the paint job look like? Protect your vehicle now and in the future by washing it today.
