Auto Detailing Supplies

Car detailing is a large part of maintenance, cleaning, and general vehicle ownership, and products including car washes, car waxes, as well as dusting and vacuuming with car interior detailing kits can help keep your car in like-new condition.

How Often Should I Wash My Car?

Regular upkeep and cleaning of your vehicle's interior and exterior can prevent staining, damage, or rust and corrosion caused by weather or climate conditions. Car enthusiasts recommend you clean your vehicle at least every two weeks, whereas the general public deems car washes necessary once each month. Ideally, the undercarriage of your vehicle should be washed once per season to remove any debris, road salt, or other contaminants to prevent corrosion or other damage. Winter car washing is an important part of maintaining a vehicle to avoid a build-up of road salt, sludge, and dirt that, if ignored, can damage paint and metal. Using the right supplies for a car wash or car detailing can help protect the paint, finish, and upholstery, as well as help remove interior contaminants or allergens for a cleaner, more comfortable ride. Keeping your car clean on the inside and outside can also extend the life of paint and wheel coatings, and can help maintain its resale value.
