Keeping your car washed and clean is important because it protects the trade-in/resale value of your car and extends the life of your vehicle. How often should you wash your car? To find out, read this helpful summary by our team at Lamarque Ford in Kenner, LA.
Regular car washes can help improve fuel efficiency. Experts have reported that clean vehicles can be up to 10% more fuel-efficient than dirty vehicles. It's also beneficial to keep your car clean so that you have a clear view of the road for enhanced safety.
Weekly car washes are recommended if you have a long commute or live where there's excessive sun, heat, or rain. Washing your car a couple of times per month is suggested if you live close to the beach to prevent rust, and if your car stays parked in a garage most of the time, a few washes per month will be acceptable.
