Why Do-it-Yourself Car Care
Is Best
Car
Care Guide Topics
There are a number of reasons to care for your vehicle at
home in your own driveway instead of paying a "pro" or local car wash to do
the job, and saving money is only a small part.
Quality control is the biggest reason to care for your finish yourself.
Finding a reputable car wash to clean your vehicle is hit and miss at best.
If you happen to try a business that doesn't use the right equipment or
techniques, you'll find out the hard way that nasty paint damage can happen
in an instant.
Your local car wash's mission is to get as many vehicles
through their shop as fast as possible. That means missed dirt, incomplete
stain removal, abrasive and aggressive drying, and water spots from the
drops they miss.
You could be out at least $15 with an incomplete wash that's
done little more than blast loose dirt and dust off. Not to mention, their
dirty, brittle drying rags probably left finish-wrecking swirl marks in your
paint.
Setting aside the time to wash your vehicle at home puts you
in control. After all, there's nobody who values your vehicle more than you
do. If you learn the right techniques and get the materials you'll need,
your wash and shine job can beat any local wash or detail shop.
