CAR WASH SERVICES

It depends. If your car is exposed to corrosive materials like salt and sand, it should be washed often. The same goes for vehicles in areas with high humidity. Moisture attracts contaminants and promotes a variety of chemical reactions that can destroy your car's finish. Frequent washing is essential to the life of your car's chrome and painted surfaces. In seasons or climates less conductive to corrosion, a wash every two weeks should be adequate. In areas with acid rain, a wash every ten days is advised. Of course, these estimates may vary depending upon whether your car is kept in a garage or out in the elements.

Washing your car at home is extremely harmful to the finish. Tests conducted by the University of Texas proved that a single home hand-wash can leave scratches in the finish as deep as 1/10 of the paint's total thickness. And, that the average garden hose can't supply enough water and water pressure along with the detergent action to avoid damaging the car's finish. This important study concluded that automobile owners should avoid washing their cars at home. Only a professional carwash can provide the proper amounts of water and water pressure needed along with the appropriate, professional cleaning solutions to safely and effectively clean your car.
