1. Feel Good
Washing your car is like brushing your teeth or taking a shower-you just feel
better afterward.
2. Save Time
Do the things you'd rather do and still do the things you should do.
3. Protect the Environment
Professional car washes use sophisticated technology and specially designed
equipment to conserve water. The contaminants are washed off and channeled
through sanitation sewers to water treatment plants. Home car washing wastes
water, and the soap and dirt end up in storm sewers, which flow into our lakes,
streams and rivers-polluting our environment.
4. Protect Your Investment
A good finish on your vehicle means a higher resale or trade-in value.
5. Take Pride in Ownership
Your car looks better clean rather than dirty. And if you don't care for it,
who will?
6. Preventative Maintenance
All vehicles, regardless of the finish (clear coat, acrylic, enamel, etc.)
require regular washing throughout the year, just like a good maintenance
program prolongs the life and performance of your car.
7. The Clock is Ticking
Time is a contributing factor that can harm your car's exterior. The longer
an attacking substance is on the vehicle, the greater the probability and
extent of damage.
8. Acid Rain
Emissions from chemical plants, fossil fuels, power plants and the internal
combustion engines are transported and altered in our atmosphere. When deposited
onto your car's surface in either a wet or dry state, they become sulfuric
or nitric acids, which if left on the surface, can eat the paint.
9. Heat Damages
Temperature accelerates problems. The acids in bugs, bird droppings, tree
sap and leaves become more active through heat. Metal retains this heat and
increases the chances of permanent stains.
10. Sun Burns
Sunlight exposure, with its ultraviolet rays, accelerates the aging process
and diminishes the gloss on your finish. Protective coating and sealants are
necessary to provide a protective barrier while enhancing your exterior's
gloss and shine.
11. Moisture Destroys
Water can trap dirt to a metal surface, allowing the oxidation process to
occur. It ultimately causes rust and corrosion.
12. Unhealthy Salt
Sea and road salt cause a chemical reaction that can accelerate the pitting
and rusting of your car's surface. The undercarriage is especially prone to
this damage due to many out-of-sight areas where salt can lodge.
13. Clean Wheels
Road grime and brake dust cling to wheels and hubcaps. If not removed,
they can actually permeate the metal, causing major damage.
