Advantages of Frequent Car Washing

Sense Superior

Washing your car every day is just like taking a shower every day - you just sense superior afterward.

Save Time

If you wash your car every day; the average time to have your vehicle completely clean and waxed is 6 - 9 minutes.

Shield Your Asset

A good finish on your vehicle means a higher resale value.

Ownership Dignity

Your car looks better clean rather than dirty, and you have to take care of your car.

Preventative Protection

All vehicles, regardless of the finish (clear coat, acrylic, enamel, etc.) require regular washing throughout the year, just like a good maintenance program prolongs the life and performance of your car.

Time Factor

Time is a contributing factor that can harm your car's exterior. The longer an attacking substance is on the vehicle, the greater the probability and extent of damage.

Acid Rain

Emissions from chemical plants, fossil fuels, power plants and the internal combustion engine are transported and altered in our atmosphere. When deposited onto your cars’ surface in either a wet or dry state, they become sulfuric or nitric acids which, if left on the surface, can eat the paint.

High Temperature Damages

High temperature accelerates problems. The acids in bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and leaves becomes more vigorous through heat. Metal retains this heat and enhances the changes of permanent stains.

Sun Burns

Sunlight exposure, with its ultraviolet rays, accelerates the aging process and diminishes the gloss on your finish. Protective coatings and sealants are necessary to provide a protective barrier while enhancing your exterior's gloss and shine.

Harmful Salt

Sea and road salt cause a chemical reaction that can accelerate the pitting and rusting of your car's surface. The undercarriage is especially prone to this damage due to many out-of-sight areas where salt can lodge.

Clean Wheels

Road dust and brake dust cling to wheels and hubcaps. If not removed, they can actually permeate the metal, causing major damage.
