How Often Should You Wash Your Car?

🚗 | Watermill Auto & Pet Wash

Keeping your car clean isn’t just about looking good on the road — it’s an important part of regular vehicle maintenance. At Watermill Auto & Pet Wash, we often get asked:"How often should I wash my car?"

The short answer? Every 2 to 3 weeks.But depending on your lifestyle and environment, it could be even more frequent.

🌧️ Why Washing Regularly Matters

Even if your car doesn't look dirty, contaminants like dust, pollen, bird droppings, and tree sap can build up quickly. Over time, they can damage your car's paint, dull its shine, and even lead to rust.

Here’s what regular washes help protect against:

• Bug splatter and bird droppings – Both are acidic and can eat into your paint

• Pollen – Especially in spring, it can coat your vehicle and affect air filters

• Salt and grime – From roads during winter or rainy seasons, which can cause corrosion

• UV damage – A clean, waxed surface helps reflect harmful rays

🗓️ When to Wash More Often

You may need to wash your car more frequently if:

• You park outdoors under trees or power lines

• You drive on dusty, muddy, or salted roads

• It’s pollen season or you're in a high-pollution area

• You commute long distances or drive daily
