Summer is here! School is out and you’re wearing your favorite t-shirt and flip-flops—time to hit the road.
Whether you are a family with young children, have older teenagers or young adults, are single, married, or empty nesters, everyone loves road trips. The freedom of hitting the open road, singing along to your road trip playlist, and buying way too many snacks from the convenience store is an experience Americans love. A 2019 survey found that the average American family spends nearly 23 hours on road trips during the summer. This includes various trips taken between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Conclusion? Americans really love their summer road trips!
Your headquarters and base of operations on the road is your car, preparing for your road trip means preparing your car.
And what better place to do that than your local car wash?
At Portage Car Wash, we provide all the exterior and interior cleaning, detailing, and waxing services you need to get your car in top shape for all your road trip adventures.
Interior services
Hours spent in the car can be pleasant, or miserable, depending on how well you prepare. For a pleasant road trip, you want the interior of your car to:
- Smell fresh
- Be free of clutter and trash
- Have clean, clear windows for viewing scenery
- Blow air through dust free vents
- Offer clean, non-stained, non-sticky carpets and seats
- Be free of bugs or vermin
Our cars collect a lot of junk over the year, food stains and crumbs, trash, dirt, road salt, dust, and mold. This can create smells, invite flies and even rodents into your vehicle, and make the interior less healthy to ride in. Lucky for you, we have inside car cleaning services to take care of your needs. We offer:
- Vacuuming services
- Dash and window cleaning
- Stain treatment
- Carpet and seat shampooing
- Cleaning out hard-to-reach crevices and floor mats
- Air fresheners for under your seats
- Vent cleaning for healthy airflow

Exterior
While you don’t have to sit in the exterior of your car, what happens on the outside of your car does affect you (no one wants to sign up for a road trip that includes car trouble and vehicle damage).
When you head out on the road, you want to know your car is clean, safe, and functioning properly. You want the exterior of your car to:
- Look freshly washed
- Offer clean windows for viewing scenery
- Be free of mud and junk piled up on the undercarriage
- Have clean tires
- Be protected from dust, sand, and gravel
Your car will drive through different environments and materials on the road that can wear down the mechanics and exterior paint job. You want to start out with the best-case scenario for the exterior of your car. Our car wash services provide all your exterior car wash needs, from a simple wash to applying a protective wax layer. We offer:
- Automatic and hand washes
- Cleaning your door jams and tires
