Why Burnaby Drivers Should Wash Their Vehicles After Driving Near Construction Zones

Why Burnaby Drivers Should Wash Their Vehicles After Driving Near Construction Zones

In Burnaby, like elsewhere in Greater Vancouver there is always construction going on. Driving through these areas of construction is really hard on your car as all kinds of dirt, tar, and a variety of abrasive materials not only gather on your car, but also inside the treads of your tires.

Paint

These construction materials in Burnaby are hard on vehicle paint, and the best way to rid yourself of them is to go to a good car wash (like ours!). If you leave these materials on the car exterior, the more you drive, the more damage you do to your paint.

Other Drivers

Believe it or not, all that construction material you pick up while driving also damages other cars near and behind you. Those abrasive and corrosive materials fly off your vehicle and onto someone else’s. They may come of your tires and then enter someone else’s tires.

Time

Time is your enemy. The longer you leave these materials on your vehicle, the harder they are to remove. They can get crusted onto your paint causing more and more damage. These materials can also cause rust and corrosion to the undercarriage. We are not kidding. And pieces can fly off and scratch windshields of unsuspecting drivers.

If you live in Burnaby and are driving past construction zones, do not delay, get your vehicle to the car wash as soon as possible to protect your car’s exterior and tires. And the cars and tires of everyone else driving near you.
