3 Benefits to Washing Your Car Regularly

There’s a reason why people choose to wash their cars regularly. Just like you go to the dentist for routine checkups and get your haircut every few months, it’s about consistency.

The more you take care of yourself, the better your overall health and appearance will be. The same principle can be applied to your car – the more you take care of it by washing it regularly, the better protected your car will be in the long run. Plus, it will look great too.

Here are 3 of the top benefits that come with washing your car regularly:

1. You can improve the condition of your car.

When you wash your car regularly, you’re helping it last longer.

While driving, dust, dirt and corrosive pollutants can land on your car and stay there. Whether it’s from bus exhausts, snow melt chemicals, or dust from tires and brakes – there’s a good chance your car is going to get dirty whenever you take it out on the road.

Even in the summer when road salt is not a problem, you don’t want to do is let that grime build up.  When dirt and pollutants sit on a vehicle they can start to work their way into the clear coat and also trap moisture, damaging the clear coat and even the paint underneath it. That’s why incorporating a regular car wash into your schedule is a good idea.  It helps to minimize the damage that can happen to your car just from local driving. In the winter, it is even more important to wash regularly due to the road salts, in particular the magnesium chloride used in Colorado, which is downright corrosive.

Not only do you want to wash your car after a rain or snowstorm, but counterintuitively you actually want to wash your car before a storm hits as well to form a barrier between your car and the elements. It’s why we offer features like a rain shield and, on our Fox DeLuxe wash, a nanotechnology finish.  These products create a protective barrier that repels water and helps prevent surface damage to your car. Your car deserves to be protected from the elements and to stay in great condition longer.

2. You can improve the value of your car.

Everyone wants their car to look good. Regularly washing your car can help with that.

Your car is an investment, and you want to ensure that you take good care of that investment, especially if you plan to sell or trade-in your car down the road. When you wash your car regularly, you’re increasing its overall resale value.

By removing the dirt, dust and corrosive pollutants that accumulate on all vehicles, a good wash can prevent scratches, dull paint, rust, and maintain your car’s appearance.  Simply put, the more often you remove these contaminants, the less likely they are to breach your clear coat, damage your paint and even scratch your car.  If you drive your car a lot and have unfortunately incurred some dings and nicks, a regular wash will keep these vulnerable areas from growing into larger problems and lowering the value of car or truck.

Wash Fox’s Unlimited Wash Club membership is a highly cost-effective way to protect the investment you made in your car.  With any of our plans, you can wash every day for less than $1 and keep your car free of the dirt, contamination and pollutants that threaten its appearance and value. When you sign up for a membership, you have the luxury of washing anytime you pick up even the lightest coating of dirt so that you can keep your vehicle in peak condition.

3. You can lighten your day.

Everyone feels better when they drive a clean car.  We have even heard customers say they feel like their cars run better right after a wash.

Why is this?  Well, it’s because of basic human nature.  Disorganization and clutter (such as food wrappers and other trash in your vehicle, as well as all the gear we carry around for ourselves and our kids) are known stressors.  The same goes for dirt, dust and muck.  In fact, clutter, especially if it is within your viewing space like on the dashboard, can actually diminish your focus.  So, you might say that washing your car can make your happier and safer.  Who knew?  And, the more you wash and vacuum your car, the happier and safer you will be.
