How a Professional Auto Wash Can Extend Your Vehicle’s Lifespan

It’s always a pleasing feeling to look at your vehicle after it has had a professional wash, how it glistens in the sun, how sleek it feels and how it makes it seem as if your vehicle has had a new lease on life. But did you know that a professional auto wash has considerable benefits beyond simple aesthetic ones? In today’s blog we will be looking at how a professional auto wash can extend your vehicle’s lifespan.

Sustain your vehicle in a harsh climate

The harsher the climate where you live, the more you will need professional vehicle washes. The Coastal Climate of Vancouver means that there will be a great deal of salt in the air, salt that will settle on your vehicle and increase the risk of rust to your vehicles body and undercarriage. A thorough, professional car wash can ensure that all of that corrosive salt gets washed off to maintain the long-term integrity of your vehicle.

Remove dirt and grime

Furthermore, as your vehicle accumulates dirt and debris it can start to scratch and wear out the paint. You might think this is just an aesthetic issue, but the paint and finish on your car do more than just make your vehicle look good, the paint is essential in preventing rust from accumulating on your vehicle as every scratch will start to rust and corrode almost as soon as it is made. Grime can also build up on your windows, headlights and taillights, reducing the ability to safely operate your vehicle.

Why choose a professional car wash?

One major advantage that professional auto washes have over hand washes is that they can easily get the undercarriage of the vehicle and help remove grime, reducing the risk of rust. They also have immediate access to all of the best products for protecting your vehicle’s finish. Professional washes can also help your vehicle retain its resale value. Some studies say that having your car professionally detailed can lead to an increase the value up to 15%.

With regular, professional car washes you are helping to give your vehicle the best chance at a long life.
