Proper maintenance helps keep your car running smoothly and efficiently. It is important to regularly change the oil and check your tires, but don't forget about your car's exterior! If you haven't already made routine car washes a part of your regular vehicle maintenance now's the time to start.
Dirt, bird droppings, and sap are some of the troublesome things that can destroy your car's paint job if left to fester. In addition, when it rains, the dirt mixes with it and becomes an abrasive which then scratches the paint on the surface of your car, eventually exposing the metal. When the metal is exposed rust is able to set in. Rust is expensive to fix so make sure your car doesn't get to that point by washing your car on a regular basis.
After you give your car a good wash don't forget to wax it. Wax protects your car from harmful UV rays that can cause the paint to fade. Faded paint can actually decrease the car's resale value when it's time to trade it in. So do yourself and your car a favor and head to the car wash today!
