Taking your car to a tunnel wash can be can easy thing to forget, but it’s crucial for maintaining the worth and lifespan of your vehicle. However, the frequency of washing your car depends on several varying factors.
The weather
Depending on whether you live in a hot and dry, cold and snowy, or anything in between kind of environment, the number of car washes per month or year will change case by case.
Regardless of the normal type of weather in your area, it’s important to prepare for anything. If there’s any chance your geographical location could experience snow or harsh elements, it’s good to prepare your car for cold temperatures by checking your engine coolant and antifreeze levels, making sure your tires have good pressure and tread depth, and using winter windshield wiper fluid.
If you do experience a storm, be sure to get your vehicle thoroughly cleaned afterwards, especially to remove any salt.
Lifestyle and location
People who commute long distances for their work or like to take frequent road trips tend to accumulate more dirt on their cars, which can cause rust and wear. If you are consistently adding a lot of miles to your vehicle, it’s a smart idea to wash your car once a week.
Because weather and other elements are dependent on location, your area will affect how dirty your car gets. For example, if your location gets excessive rain, moisture can build up inside and around the car. Also, hot sun can melt wax off quickly, so if your area is dry and hot, it’s a good idea to get an additional wax with your wash.
Personal preference
Simply put, some people care more about how their cars look than others. That’s why personal preference also plays a part in how often people wash their vehicles.
If you want your car looking consistently sleek and polished, go ahead and wash it once a week. But if your car isn’t exposed to harsh weather, isn’t building up wear quickly, and you don’t mind the appearance as much, we suggest washing it once every two or three weeks.
Overall, it’s important to keep in mind that cleaning your car on a regular basis helps it run longer and maintain its value.
