Winter and spring are in a battle for dominance, which means the rest of us are stuck in the middle of their mess. Icy/snowy roads become brown and mushy, puddles of mud and grime are everywhere, and the pollen is beginning to spread like a blanket of yellow across everything.
Your car is a casualty in this battle of the seasons, taking every substance and mess Nature throws at it. It needs some attention if it’s going to stay clean and functional.
As a full-service wash near you, we can help.
Why you need a car wash
Mud is sneaky because it looks harmless, but it can actually be quite damaging to your vehicle. Having mud plastered on the exterior can trap moisture and debris against your car, leading to rust and corrosion that will eat away at the paint job and metal.
Our exterior car washes will soft wash that mud away, giving extra attention to your door jams and undercarriage (where mud tends to cling and build up the worst).
Organic debris like wet leaves are also a hidden hazard, as they can scratch your paint job and trap moisture against your car’s exterior. Our automatic and hand washes will gently remove this debris and leave a smooth, clean surface behind.
Pollen is a menace not just to your vehicle’s appearance, but also to your comfort and health while driving. When pollen collects on your car, it can create a sticky layer that is challenging to remove. This pollen can get into your air filters and vehicle’s interior, meaning you are not just facing allergies outside, but also inside your car!
Regular exterior car washing will prevent pollen build-up, as well as interior detailing. We offer multiple interior detailing services where we can vacuum and shampoo your seats and carpet, clean your vents to remove allergy-laden dust and pollen, and clean all those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies where pollen and other grime would love to hide.
Another way we can help maintain your vehicle is with an Express Hand Wax, which is a layer of wax that is applied with a low-speed orbital buffer. This cleans, polishes, and protects your vehicle’s finish, and provides a layer of durable protection for your vehicle. The wax shield makes it harder for grime, organic materials, and pollen to stick to your car, making it easier to maintain and look great for longer.
You may ask, is all this really worth it? Absolutely!
Car washing and detailing will:
- Protect your paint job
- Maintain your vehicle’s resale value
- Improve your safety (by having clean mirrors, and windows)
- Be healthier for you (breathe less junk inside and out)
- Keep your vehicle looking fresh and beautiful
- Give your car a longer lifespan
It doesn’t have to take a large bite out of your schedule, but you will be so glad you took the time for a quick wash or a detailing service. Most of our services require no appointments ahead of time, you can just come on in and let us take care of it for you. We will handle your car with respect and care and have you back on the road and sparkling clean in no time!
