Spring cleaning isn’t just for your house – your car needs a refresh too.
When you think of maintaining your car, your first thought might not be washing it on a regular basis. People often don’t see the value in washing their car during the winter months because of consistent snow and rain. By the time spring rolls around and pollen season begins, car owners push washing their car off again with the mindset “it’ll just be dirty again tomorrow.”
Here are the top 5 reasons your car will benefit from a spring cleaning.
#1: Removes Winter Build-Up
During the winter months, your car can become coated in additional mud and road grime compared to other times of the year. In areas where it snows, salt is an added factor. These elements build up in the scratches on your car and further erode the paint in those areas. New scratches can also develop, especially with precipitation. Water alone is not enough to remove winter dirt and grime from your vehicle. As the water rolls down your car, it drags the particles with it, causing friction if soaps aren’t present. Bringing your car to Autobell® will ensure winter grime is properly removed with our high-quality soaps.
#2: Cleans the Undercarriage
When people think about getting their car washed, they often forget one of the most important parts to keep clean: the undercarriage. The underbody of your car needs to be taken care of just as often as the visible exterior. Built-up road grime and dirt can penetrate weakened areas, causing rust. Undercarriage rust is a serious problem that, if left untreated, can lead to significant damage and potentially make your vehicle unsafe to drive.
#3: Minimizes Damage from Pollen
Like winter build-up, spring has its own pesky problem: pollen. When pollen coats your car, its microscopic hooks attach the particles to the paint. The longer it’s left untreated, the more damage your car will suffer. Additionally, pollen can make its way into your vehicle, not only enhancing seasonal allergies, but staining your seats and interior panels.
#4: Protects from UV Ray Damage
Springtime means the sun is out longer. The UV rays from the sun not only penetrate the windows of your vehicle, but also cause damage to the interior surfaces. By having the interior of your car cleaned regularly with Armor All®, you can prevent the fading and cracking of seats, dashboards, and steering wheels. Autobell® offers the Armor All® Special, as well as an option to add Armor All® to any interior wash package.
#5: Prolongs the Value of Your Vehicle
Car maintenance is what keeps the value of your car from decreasing as quickly over time. Regular car washes, with interior cleaning, will help maintain your vehicle's value by keeping it in pristine condition until you're ready to trade it in or sell.
