Driving around Aiea, HI in a dirty, dust-covered vehicle could be more costly than you think. Skipping regular car washes can have a negative impact on your wallet both now and in the future. At Cutter Mitsubishi-Aiea, we're sharing three ways staying on top of this simple but essential maintenance task can help you save.
Prevent Corrosion
Leaving your auto covered in road salts, brine, and other de-icing agents will rapidly wear down its finish. Build-ups of dust, grit, and other abrasive materials can have a similar effect. Washing your car flushes these accumulations off before they degrade your paint and set the stage for rust formation.
Dirty Cars Cost More to Drive
Your vehicle is less aerodynamic when covered in dust. This leads to greater fuel use and the need for frequent fill-ups. Washing your auto every 10 to 14 days will improve its fuel economy.
Protect Your Auto's Resale Value
Regular car washes keep autos looking like new. By sidestepping problems with rust and diligently protecting your vehicle's finish, you'll also protect your car's resale value.
