How often should you wash your car?

Keeping your car clean is crucial for maintaining its appearance and protecting it from damage. Regular washing prevents harmful elements like dirt, salt, and grime from wearing down your vehicle's paint and causing rust. Ideally, you should wash your car every two weeks to keep it in top condition. However, the frequency can vary based on factors like climate, driving habits, and whether your car is parked indoors or outdoors. If you live in an area with harsh winters or near the ocean, you might need to wash it more often to combat salt and other corrosive elements. Conversely, if you drive infrequently, you can get away with washing it less often.
