Reasons to Use a Professional
Car Wash
 Let's
face it. Most of us have a car or truck that we enjoy driving
and perhaps our proudest moment is when the car is new and looks
its best. For this reason, car washes have acquired popularity
and have been able to provide us with that "new car feeling"
that we all love.
A lot of people wash their own cars at home, but the convenience
of an automated car wash and relatively low cost has become
hard to beat. Our cars are subjected to all sorts of abuses
from the environment including the sun, dirt, and smog, all
of which will affect the best automobile. However, you can keep
your car in new condition and the following information will
show you how.
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 engine 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.
