As families across the nation gear up for summer during the school holidays, road trips are high on the agenda, and according to one expert, a simple routine action can actually help keep you safe. An expert insists that cleaning your car can make a significant difference. It may not save you from inevitable traffic, but it could help you reach your destination without any hitches.
Justin Hall, Director of Engineering at , emphasizes the importance of a clean vehicle before hitting the road. "It may sound simple, but washing your car before a road trip could help ensure your road trip goes smoothly," he says. Shockingly, one in 20 of us confesses to not washing our vehicles at all, according to a recent survey of 2,000 adults conducted by IMO Car Wash.
"Dirt, mud, and salt can cling to your vehicle when you travel. Washing your car before you set off on the road will rinse off any harmful grime and ensure your car's paintwork is not damaged before it's too late." "Cleaning your car is also crucial for your safety when on the road.
Car windows, mirrors, and tyres should be free from dirt, if not, they could hamper your vision when driving or even how your car functions," Hall continued. "Washing your car via an automated car wash takes just a matter of minutes but will go a long way to ensuring a smoother, safer, and more enjoyable road trip this summer even if we get stuck in traffic," he added. Car washes are more than just a cosmetic luxury, they're a key part of maintainin.
