During these challenging economic times, many consumers are opting to hang onto their automobiles for another year or two rather than incur further debt by buying new. One simple measure to take that will help ensure your car's longevity is to wash it on a weekly basis. During the long winter months in cold, snowy climates, our roads are treated with various forms or snow and ice melting products, none of which are good for your car's body or chassis. Salt and other chemicals can do

a lot of damage in a short period of time on your car's surface if they are left to do their destructive work. By investing a few dollars each week, you are preserving and helping extend the life of your vehicle in the simplest of ways. A self service car wash can rid your automobile of these corrosive agents by simply hosing down of all externals surfaces of your car or truck. The vehicles undercarriage is one of the most vulnerable surfaces and you must take great care in cleaning around the wheel wells and along the rocker panels as well. By taking a few minutes and a pocketful of coins, you can add years to the life of your vehicle.
