How Extreme Heat Affects Your Vehicle<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

While motor vehicles are built to withstand most kinds of weather, climate change is pushing the envelope for cars of every make and model. When outdoor temperatures soar, the sun\u2019s harsh rays can cause your paint to fade and dry out your leather or vinyl interior. However, regular maintenance helps protect these elements from heat and UV rays and reduces the risk of costly damage to your car.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Timing Is Key<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKnowing the best time to clean your vehicle on hot days can make a big difference in terms of your comfort and the end result of your car wash. Try to visit a car wash near you when it\u2019s early morning or later in the afternoon or evening when the sun isn\u2019t as high in the sky. This is when temperatures are the coolest and you have the best chance of avoiding spots and streaks as your vehicle dries.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou may also want to avoid peak hours when drive thru car washes are the busiest. Going before the morning work rush at 8 AM, after 5 PM, or right before close usually means lines are shorter and you can get done faster. Reducing the amount of time you have to spend waiting in the heat can make your car wash experience a lot easier and more enjoyable.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Choosing the Right Wash Package<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When you\u2019re washing your car in the intense heat, it\u2019s important that you choose the right wash package for your vehicle\u2019s needs. A basic wash may effectively remove dirt and grime, but it\u2019s less likely to provide the level of protection your vehicle needs, especially under challenging summer conditions. Choosing a higher level wash package that includes features like tire cleaning and wax application can better shield your vehicle from harsh UV rays, extreme temps, and high humidity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
