How Often Should You Detail Your Car?
Expert Advice from Revolution Wheels & Auto Spa – Barrie, ON
If you’re wondering, “how often should I get my car detailed?” — you’re not alone. At Revolution Wheels & Auto Spa, we hear this question all the time. And the answer? It depends on how and where you drive.
But one thing’s for sure: regular detailing isn’t just about looks — it protects your vehicle’s value, interior, and paint in the long run.
🚗 What Is Car Detailing, Really?
Car detailing goes beyond a regular wash. It includes:
- Interior vacuuming and shampooing
- Exterior hand washing, clay bar treatment, and waxing
- Salt and stain removal
- Tire and engine bay cleaning
- Glass, mirror, and screen cleaning
At Revolution, we offer packages from quick refreshes to full reconditioning based on your vehicle’s needs.
