Kia Car Wash & Detailing Service

Why is Routine Car Washing Important?

Protects the finish — The exterior of your Kia is made from various components such as aluminum, metal, and plastic parts that can be found on the bumper, windows, trim, and wheels. As a result, these components are under constant exposure to elements such as rain, dust, mud, pollen, and other environmental elements like bird droppings that are allowed to dry on the surface of the vehicle and can negatively affect the vehicle and result in rusting and fading. Over time, dirt builds upon the vehicle’s exterior begins to trap moisture which remains in constant contact with the clear coat protective film. Debris and dirt will begin to create scratches on the finish if it is not removed with a thorough washing. The longer the vehicle remains dirty, the more the clear coat finish will diminish which will expose the paint, making it more vulnerable to permanent damage.

Opportunity for maintenance

Performing routine washing of your vehicle is also a great opportunity to scan your vehicle, perform an inspection and ensure your tires are properly inflated, look at the windshield wipers and ensure they are not in need of replacement, check for cracks in the headlights and taillights and visually inspect the rubber trim on the windows and other areas of the vehicle to ensure they are not cracked or peeling. This is also a good time to check the thoroughly clean the air conditioning vents, inspect the carpets present in the front of the vehicle to confirm they are properly seated on their safety clips and that all windows are cleaned on the interior as well as the exterior to insure visibility and your safety while driving.
