Hand Washing Your Car

Once your car turns 3-years-old people will notice whether you've taken good care of it. This is why general maintenance, including hand washing your car, is so important. After all, you want your car glistening in the sun so it retains its value for when you're ready to trade it in for a new vehicle since people will decide whether they want to buy it simply based on how it looks. Taking it through a car wash or simply thinking the rain will keep it clean won't work.

Benefits of Hand Washing Your Car

There are many reasons why you should wash your car by hand instead of taking it through a car wash. These include:

Unfortunately, taking your car through a car wash can actually damage your vehicle. This is because car washes are rough on cars since they use pressure washers, which actually attacks your car like a sandblaster. So, if you don't want your car scratched up, you need to wash it by hand.

This is because car washes simply recycle their water since doing so is less expensive. When these dirt particles come into contact with your car, they can scratch its paint. If they come into contact with your windshield and its wipers, they'll get dragged across them leaving small scratches in the glass. However, when you hand wash your car you're not using recycled water so you don't have to worry about this happening.

You'll pay more attention to how you wash your car. In doing so you aren't tempted to use anything that's abrasive on your car. Instead, you'll find yourself choosing the right brushes and cleaning materials. You'll also pay close attention to what you're doing as you wash your car so you won't miss any dirt or debris that a human eye wouldn't
