Spring Time is a Great Time to Clean Up Your Car -- Regular Washes Protect Your Investment

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 02, 2008 – The snow may be gone, but the effects of winter still linger on your car. Months of road salt, de-icing chemicals, dirt and grime can dull a car’s finish and promote corrosion and rust. With spring officially here, it’s a great time to clean and protect your car. Whether you are looking to trade-in your wheels for something new this spring or you just want to revive the look of your current car, there are several easy things you can do to protect, preserve and extend the life of your vehicle. April is National Car Care Month and the experts at CleanTown USA car wash in Hampton Township offer these tips:

1. Clean Consistently. Like oil changes, tire rotations and tune ups -- washing your car regularly should be part of your scheduled car care. The International Car Wash Association recommends a car be washed at least twice a month to protect and maintain its appearance. According to Kelley Blue Book, cars in excellent mechanical condition and appearance are valued higher than those in good or fair condition/appearance.

2. Protect the Outside. Wax doesn’t just make your car shiny; it’s your car’s number one defense against harsh winter weather and environmental factors such as sun, smog and rain. A professional-grade wax, applied at a car wash or detailing facility can last up to two months and will repel harmful chemicals.

3. Pamper the Inside. During the winter, your car’s interior and exterior can take a beating. Having a professional cleaning of your interior can restore your seats, floors, trunk area, doors, and entire inside to showroom quality, or very close to it. Car care centers like CleanTown offer interior cleaning services of all types.

As you’re spring cleaning your home don’t forget about your home away from home – your car. It needs the same attention and care. To learn more about keeping your car clean, visit these online resources for tips and advice:
