When was the last time you washed your car? Many people would agree that the easiest thing to neglect on your car is the paint. Maybe you use your 2016 GLE to get back and forth from work, or maybe you have a GT S that you use sparingly. In both scenarios, the car wash gets postponed over and over again. This could be because paint doesn’t affect the way the car drives, or it could be an increasing price at automated car washes. Whatever the reason may be, car washes always get postponed. How often should you wash your Mercedes-Benz in Arizona? As it turns out, where you live actually has more of an influence on this than how often you drive your car.
Protect Your Car From The Arizona Sun
In some parts of the country, driver’s fear the snow. Here in Arizona, we have a different enemy. Throughout the day, even if you aren’t using your car, dust particles fall on top of it. These particles of depreciation can get burned into the paint on your car as the sun rains down in all of its glory. By washing your car weekly, you can avoid discoloration. Additionally, with these particles stuck to your car, it is more susceptible to scratching.
Admittedly, car wash frequency does depend drastically on opinion. Taking better care of your paint now can help retain the value of your car over a long span of time, but it can also cost you more in the short term. One of the best indicators is sight. If your car looks dirty, you should probably clean it. That may sound obvious but if you take a closer look, you will see things that you can’t see from even a few feet away. As a general rule of thumb, washing your car once a week in Arizona will help you retain the value as much as possible. If you have any questions or comments, let us know!
