Regularly waxing and washing your car isn't just about looks. It actually protects your investment and keeps the vehicle in better condition over time. Here's what you get out of it:
Paint Protection
Dirt, road salt, bird droppings, and tree sap can slowly eat away at your car's clearcoat. Washing removes those contaminants before they cause damage. Waxing after washing puts a layer of protection between you and future contaminants.
Rust and Corrosion Prevention
Especially in places with winter road salt (like Vermont), buildup can lead to rust. Regular washing, particularly in the undercarriage, helps prevent that.
Maintains Resale Value
A clean, well maintained exterior signals that the car has been cared for. Faded or damaged paint can significantly lower what you'll get if you sell or trade the car in.
Makes Cleaning Easier
Wax creates a smooth surface, so dirt and water don't stick as easily. That means future washes take less effort and your car stays cleaner longer.
UV Protection
Sun exposure can oxidize and fade your paint. Wax acts like a sunscreen for your car, reducing damage from the harsh UV rays from the Sun.
Improves Appearance
A freshly washed and waxed vehicle simply looks better. Deeper color, more shine, and that "like new" finish.
Helps Spot Issues Early
When you're regularly washing your car, its more likely that you will notice scratches, chips, or leaks before they turn into bigger problems.
How Often?
Wash every 1-2 weeks (more in winter and mud season
Wax every 2-3 months (or a few times a year depending on product)
