Getting your vehicle to the car wash once in a while is not helping to maintain the exterior of the car; it could be hurting it. The longer you go between visits to the car wash, the elements are hard at work deteriorating the protective surface of the car.

Our service center here at Porsche Birmingham in Irondale, AL, knows all too well how important it is to keep that car exterior spotless.

Here are the reasons you should get to the car wash more frequently.

1. Bird droppings, tree sap, and dead bugs, all are eating away slowly at the surface of the paint.

2. The dirt trapped in the undercarriage could lead to corrosion, the high-pressure washers at the car wash can easily remove them.

3. Even the smallest of dirt particles mix with rain and act like an abrasive, stripping and scratching the surface of your car.

Help retain the resale value of the car by getting it washed more frequently.
