Don't Wait To Wash Your Car

When is the last time you had your car washed?

With all the things we have to do from day to day often times getting our vehicle washed is the last thing on our mind. Days, weeks, and maybe even months go by before we decide to get our car washed. 

If we do not get our car washed regularly dirt, grime, and other contaminants will build up on your vehicle. Once those contaminants build up on your car it can damage and harm your vehicle's paint. For example, bird dropping if left on your car's paint surface for too long will start to eat at and deteriorate your vehicle's paint. 

It is important to get your car washed regularly. Don't go too long before washing your vehicle. Here at CrossRoads Hand Car Wash we have car wash packages and car wash a la carte services to meet your vehicle's needs. Don't let another day go by, get your car washed today!

Car Waxing Tip #2

Tip #2  Apply Wax In Sections

When waxing your car, don’t wax your car in one shot. Move from section to section. For example, if you are waxing the hood of your vehicle, instead of waxing the hood all at once, it should be split into two sections. Wax one section at a time until you slowly make your way around your car. Following this procedure will allow your car to get the best finish.

So why is waxing in sections better?

First, waxing in smaller sections is better because it makes waxing your car an easier task. Applying wax all in one shot on your vehicle may make the task of waxing your car feel difficult and grueling. Secondly, waxing your car in sections allows you to be thorough. Lastly, waxing your entire car in one session will wear you out, and will prevent and discourage you from doing it the next time.

Car Waxing Tip #1

 TIp #1   Wax your car in the shade

Does it make a difference if I wax my car in the shade or in the sun? Is it better to wax my car in the shade? Believe it or not there is a difference if you wax your car in the sun compared to waxing it in the shade. Waxing your car in the sun will can pose a few problems.

The sun will bake the car wax on your car's suface, which will make it more challenging to remove. Another reason is the direct sun, ingredients in the wax such as oils can evaporate which will cause the wax to be less effective. Lastly, the sun can cause your car's surface to become extremely hot especially if it is sitting in the sun for a long period of time.The heat from the sun can cause your car's paint to soften which will cause it to be vulnerabe to light scratches and swirls. Always wax your car in the shade for the best results. Waxing your car in the shade will make applying the wax easier and is ultimately more effective.

Don't Let Extreme Weather Conditions Damage Your Car's Paint

Extreme weather conditions can harm your car’s exterior especially your car’s paint. Extreme weather conditions such as strong winds can cause damage to your car’s paint. When it’s windy and you’re driving on the streets or on the freeway your car’s exterior is vulnerable to damage such as surface scratches. Strong winds can cause debris such as leaves, branches, gravel, rocks, trash and other particles to get picked by the wind. When the wind picks up this debris and you’re driving on the streets or on the freeway, the debris will make contact with your car.

Since you now know strong winds can cause debris to scratch your car’s paint, there is a preventative measure that can reduce damage or amount of scratches extreme weather conditions such as strong winds can cause. Waxing your car can protect your car’s paint from extreme weather conditions. Wax provides a protective layer between your car’s paint and potentially harmful weather conditions.That is why waxing your car regularly is so important and why it is highly recommended.
