Automatic/drive-through car washes are more popular than ever because they save time and hassle and as the summer heat winds down and the fall weather arrives, they save us from having to brave the last remaining days of the hot weather.

Detail shops, like Temecula Car Wash, offer a wide variety of services (including a drive-through car wash) to keep your vehicle running and looking as sharp as the day you purchased it. This time of year is perfect for detailing your vehicle because the harsh summer heat has baked on those impurities, dirt and grime causing potential damage to the exterior of your vehicle.

You might ask, are automatic car washes safe for your car? In fact, in many instances, they are the ‘safest’ course of action for many car owners who want to keep their car clean.

Also, automatic car washes can be safer for your car's finish than washing your car yourself because do-it-yourselfers sometimes don't use enough water to safely remove dirt; or they wash the car in direct sunlight which can burn spots in the paint. Or they use the wrong type of soap -- such as dishwashing detergent, which removes protective wax and leaves a chalky residue on the finish. Or any one of several common mistakes can end up doing more harm than good.

Keeping your car clean and the finish looking good can also mean higher resale value when it comes time to get a new car. Keep in mind that a car with faded paint and a dingy overall look sells for 10-20 percent less than an otherwise identical vehicle that just looks nicer. Maintaining your vehicle not only gives it a higher resale value but certainly adds trade-in value as well. 

So how often should you have your vehicle washed? That depends on how quickly it gets dirty and how dirty it gets. For some cars, once a month or so is sufficient, especially if the car is lightly used and kept in a garage. But some cars will need a bath more often, especially those that are parked outdoors.
