When it comes to keeping your car clean, you may be tempted to opt for the cheapest car wash option available. However, paying a little more for a higher-quality car wash can offer many benefits that may make it worth your while.
One of the main reasons to pay more for a car wash is that it can help prolong the life of your car's paint job. Cheaper car washes often use harsh chemicals and rough brushes that can damage your car's paint, leading to scratches, chips, and fading over time. Higher quality car washes, on the other hand, use gentler soaps and equipment that are less likely to damage your car's finish.
Please keep in mind when choosing to get your car washed that the applied pressure from the brushes, hanging cloths, and power spray do have the potential to worsen chips or cracks in your windshield. This is in addition to the temperature change that can occur in a car wash from the water temperature used. It is always best practice to repair any chips or cracks in your windshield or even replace it entirely as soon as possible and prior to a car wash.
Another benefit of paying more for a car wash are the options that come along with the higher price tag such as tri-color foam, mag chloride removal, underbody cleaning, and higher-end wax finishes. The biggest difference you will see between wash packages are the level of wax finishes. Some finishes may last longer than others allowing you to not frequent the wash as often.
In conclusion, while it may be tempting to opt for the cheapest car wash option, paying a little more for a higher quality car wash can help prolong the life of your car. So the next time you're considering a car wash, consider spending a little more for a higher quality wash that will ultimately save you money and time in the long run.
