Many of us have questions on how many times their cars should be washed, detailed and also waxed. Here are the basic body needs of your vehicle’s body.

Washing

  • Cars parked outside should be washed once a week, its not a constant everyday thing unless you went through the mud. “Too much wash makes the body have a dull finish.”
  • Once every other week for garage vehicles i.e you have a garage at home.

Waxing

  • All cars should be waxed once every 3 months. Don’t be tempted to over do it.
  • Dark rich colors such as black, charcoal, forest green, blue, reds you have to wax every other month.

Detail

  • Every car should have an annual complete detail.
  • Vehicles parked outside might require detailing twice a year.

Interiors/Leather

  • All interiors should be cleaned and conditioned twice a year.
  • Leather treatment should be considered every three months, especially for vehicles parked outside regularly.

Rims/Wheels

  • Rims and Wheels should be cleaned after every 2 weeks to avoid brake dust build up.
  • All rims should be polished and protected at least every six months.
  • Chrome and painted rims may require cleaning every three months.
