How Often Should You Wash Your Car?

Most experts recommend that you wash your car roughly every two weeks. Does that surprise you? There are good reasons for that, and this is what we are going to talk about in today’s blog article. 

Dirt Damage 

Believe it or not a dirty car wears the exterior and interior faster. Dirt, sand, and chemical from the road will have a corrosive effect on your exterior paint. The same materials that you track into the car make your seats and carpet wear faster. 

Tires and Wheel Wells 

When you have dirt and chemicals stuck in your tires and cemented in your wheel well, this can corrode the frame of your vehicle and prematurely age your tires. It can even affect your brakes. Only by keeping your vehicle clean can you be sure that the vehicle is operating the way it is supposed to. 

Economics 

By washing your car regularly, and keeping it clean inside and out, you preserve your paint and keep the interior from wearing too quickly. The dirt on your clothes will grind into the carpet and abrade the upholstery. Keeping the car clean preserves its value if you ever want to sell it. Because a car that looks good always sells faster and commands a higher price than a car that looks terrible. 

It Will Look Better 

A clean car looks better, and gives you pride of ownership. Wouldn’t you rather drive down the road with your car in pristine condition than drive a mud-mobile? A clean car will make you happier.
