Why You Shouldn’t be Lazy Cleaning your Car?

Feeling lazy cleaning your car and yet you don’t have time to go to a car wash? You clean your car but eons ago? Ok, you are just waiting for your baby (car) to be brought to salvage yard ‘cause it’ll soon be dead.
Seriously speaking, cleaning a car is one of the most important steps every owner should keep in mind. It will not only give you bragging rights and feeling good about your car but a whole lot more benefits.

1. Not cleaning your car can hurt you and your wallet!
   • Accumulated dirt can become sandpaper that weakened car’s paint.
   • Tree sap and bird droppings can etch paint off. Bird dropping is said to contain uric acid which is corrosive enough and leave patches to your car if not remove immediately.

When the paint starts to crack off, it will expose the car’s body into moisture. As we all know, moisture to metal is a big no, no as it will cause rust. Rust will then spread like a virus, eating metal and boom…exposing vital parts; a sure expense on your part.

2. Clean your car and feel good!

Have you experienced that feeling when you are driving a shiny, clean car? Isn’t it good and nice? Heads up and proud!

3. Drive safely.

Cleaning your headlights, mirrors and most especially your windshield help you see the road clearly. You don’t want to be engaged in an accident caused by poor vision, do you?

4. Increase resale value.

Good-looking and in good condition car pays a lot when it comes to resale. Cars being sold to salvage yards are being assessed based on the quality of its parts; inner and outer.  The more useful parts, the more you will get. If you are lucky enough, you might find a customer that will buy your car at your set price. Isn’t it amazing?

All these things will be made possible based on how you will treat your car. The bottom line is, clean it either by yourself or through a carwash. In the first place, owning a car comes with great responsibilities that you should have been prepared. Just keep in mind to apply wax and not just the “so, so” cleaning. Because wax protects the paint and then paint helps in extending the life of your car.
