Your car needs a makeover as often as you do. Getting your it cleaned at a car wash about once a week is the best treat you can give your tired car.

Washing your vehicle at home is a chore and can leave you drained by the time you finish the job. Save yourself time and trouble by bringing your car to a local full service car wash, like Buggy Bath.

Car Wash Companies like Buggy Bath are experts at giving your car a kind of spa treatment. Your car is not only washed and scrubbed clean but polished and waxed to showroom like perfection. They have different programs for cleaning from advanced laser cleaning to a mere exterior wash. You can customize the plan according to the needs of your vehicle.

Services offered by companies include an exterior wash, chassis cleaning, under carriage rust clearing, conditioning using foam and other conditioners, waxing the body, as well as polishing and rinsing the car leaving no spots on the exterior. Your auto may not need all of these fancy treatments and you can enquire with the company about the rates charged for the different processes or a combination of the processes.

Some companies abide by environmental rules of water efficiency and recycling. Some also use professional wash experts to ensure the job is completed in an eco friendly manner.

Companies use environmentally friendly detergents, polishes, and waxes to treat the car in as healthy of a manner as a human being is treated in a professional spa.

If you want your tired car to look great and if you want to enhance your image at a fraction of the cost of buying a new one, getting a professional car cleaning job done at your local wash may just be the answer you are looking for.

Pinpointing one thing people can do to maintain their car’s value over time is hard. Richard Griot of car-care and tool supplier Griot’s Garage says your investment can be best-served by “keeping its surfaces — the glass, trim, paint and wheels — clean.”

Your car has many enemies, some visible, some not so much. Emissions from industrial plants are released into the environment, where they are transformed into nitric or sulfuric acid. When deposited onto your car, in either a wet or a dry state, these contaminants can eat paint and, in extreme cases, metal.

Temperature accelerates the problem. Acid from bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and even leaves becomes more active when heated. Metal retains heat when sitting out in the sun, which in turn increases the chances that these irritants will cause permanent stains when left on your car.

And even though water is the best way to remove these contaminants, it can also trap them on metal surfaces if not removed itself, allowing oxidation to occur, which ultimately causes rust and corrosion. Sea or road salt exacerbates the problem by causing a chemical reaction that can accelerate pitting and rusting.

But all of these issues pale in comparison to time. The longer an offensive substance is left on your vehicle, the greater the probability and extent of damage.

So what, you say? A few war wounds on the surface on your car are endearing, right? Wrong! What it means to potential buyers — either through the resale market or a trade — in with a dealer — is that you didn’t maintain the vehicle properly. This neglect can bring resale or trade-in values crashing to the ground, all because you failed to wash your car regularly.

The reality is that people often value material things based on the way they look. According to the folks at Kelley Blue Book, aesthetics is one of the top considerations when a person buys a car. And since more people are testing the pre-owned or used market these days, it is important to keep your car looking its best so it’s worth more when you are ready to upgrade to a new car. A vehicle that has a pitted or stained finish or splotches of rust is a turnoff, and thus is worth less than a car that looks pristine, regardless of how you maintained the vehicle mechanically — sad, but true.

If you currently don’t clean your car regularly, it’s not too late to change your ways. Of course, the quickest and easiest way to a sparkling clean car inside and out is to take it to a profession car wash and detail shop for a professional treatment.

Before You Start
Mike Pennington, director of training for Meguiar’s, a leading producer of car-care products, says you should wash your car once a week. “Your car is constantly bombarded with contaminants such as tree sap mist and bird droppings,” Pennington says. “If the contaminants are not removed quickly, they can bond to the paint and even etch the paint.”

Which is greener, a professional car wash, like Buggy Bath, or washing at home? The answer: Go with the pros.

Commercial car washes require an average of about 45 gallons of water per car, whereas home washers typically use between 80 and 140 gallons, according to the trade group International Carwash Association. That’s a big difference!

Few people realize that washing our cars in our driveways is one of the most environmentally un-friendly chores we can do around the house. Unlike household waste water that enters sewers or septic systems and undergoes treatment before it is discharged into the environment, what runs off from your car goes right into storm drains — and eventually into rivers, streams, creeks and wetlands where it poisons aquatic life and wreaks other ecosystem havoc. After all, that water is loaded with a witch’s brew of gasoline, oil and residues from exhaust fumes — as well as the harsh detergents being used for the washing itself.
On the other hand, federal laws in both the U.S. and Canada require commercial carwash facilities to drain their wastewater into sewer systems, so it gets treated before it is discharged back into the great outdoors. And commercial car washes use computer controlled systems and high-pressure nozzles and pumps that minimize water usage. Many also recycle and re-use the rinse water. So feel good when you bring your car to Buggy Bath. You’re keeping your car clean, and helping the environment at the same time!
