5 Reasons to Wash Your Ride Monthly

There is a lot to do in a life. Making time to wash our vehicles doesn’t always make the cut in between work, family, groceries, and the rest. However, every season brings different elements that work against the paint, finish, glass and other surfaces of our cars and trucks. Summit Auto Spa is making it easier to ensure your vehicle stays looking its best through every season with Monthly Maintenance Wash packages.

Benefits of Regular Washes

Regular car washes are essential for maintaining your vehicle's health and appearance. Beyond keeping your car looking its best, consistent washing protects your paint from damaging elements like bird droppings, tree sap, and road salt. This preventive care helps fight off rust and corrosion, especially during the winter months here in the High Country. This monthly upkeep ultimately preserves your car's resale value over time. Professional car washes also ensure that hard-to-reach areas stay clean, while environmentally-friendly cleaning products keep your vehicle's finish in pristine condition. By making car washing a regular habit, you're investing in your vehicle's longevity and maintaining its appearance for years to come.

Maintenance Washes vs. Detailing

This may sound like a detailing service, but it’s not. Detailing can take several hours to complete, includes both deep cleaning to the exterior and interior in addition to an exterior wash. Our Maintenance Wash Package is a simple, yet thorough, cleaning to keep your vehicle in top shape throughout the year.  While monthly car washes are ideal for regular maintenance and cleanliness, car detailing is recommended 2-4 times per year for deep cleaning, paint protection, and restoration of your vehicle's appearance. Our Maintenance Washes are also more convenient than a detailing as it won’t require customers to drop off their vehicle and reorganize their schedule to keep their vehicles looking their best.

Health Benefits of Window Tinting

In today’s society staying healthy and protected from harmful elements has become a focus for most of us. This applies to our vehicles and their care as well as our homes and overall health. Summit Auto Spa uses window tints on your vehicle to help protect your car’s interior and you on your daily commutes and long trips.

Types of Tinting

At Summit Auto Spa, we use KAVACA brand carbon and ceramic tints which offer massive health benefits for all of us, from infants to seniors. Both lines of tint boast a 99% blockage of UV A & UV B sun rays. These UV rays are responsible for damage to our car’s paint and more importantly, our bodies while driving. As Americans, we spend a lot of time in our cars. We may use sunscreen to protect our skin outdoors but many of us don’t think of applying sunscreen when we get in the car for work or kid pick-ups. Window tint is a semi-permanent sunscreen for our vehicles’ windows. By having window tint installed you will be keeping you and your family 99% more protected from those UV rays that can cause skin cancers, melanomas, and sunburns.

Carbon Window Tint

Carbon window tint is a film installed using a liquid mixture and a small squeegee for easy adhesion to the interior of windows. Each window is custom fit with our carbon window tint film by our trained techs. The film itself boasts nano-carbon particles mixed in to absorb light, especially the sun’s infrared rays that carry heat. At Summit Auto Spa we use KAVACA Carbon X. This carbon window film delivers excellent color stability without sacrificing clarity, meaning no faded, purple tint after the first year! The heat rejection, glare control and UV protection accomplished through nano-scaled carbon particles is metal-free. This means your different mobile device signals won’t suffer connection issues using Carbon X. Additionally, carbon-tinted windows provide a cooler interior for your ride by blocking those rays, reducing visible light transmission, which means fewer glares, day and night, and is a cheaper option for car owners.

Ceramic Window Tint

KAVACA Ceramic IR film tint offers the same benefits as Carbon X but goes further by adding advanced glare reduction to their lineup to reduce incoming road glares, street lights, blinding lights, etc. These things may not seem that important to the average driver but to someone who has astigmatisms, reduced eyesight, or glaucomas this has the potential to help make driving safer and more enjoyable again. KAVACA Ceramic IR is manufactured with state-of-the-art technology and a proprietary formulation of nano-ceramic technology with an IR layer to deliver excellent heat rejection, glare control, and UV protection that is metal-free, supporting signal clarity for all types of electronic devices. KAVACA Ceramic IR lets you customize your car with any of the 7 shades and offers a non-reflective, color-stable finish that will not fade over time.

Is it Worth the Investment?

While carbon tints are usually less expensive than ceramic tints, making them appealing for those on a strict budget, considering the ceramic tint as an investment can help determine the right tint for your lifestyle. Despite the higher initial cost, the superior protection and longevity KAVACA Ceramic IR offers make it a worthwhile investment in the long term.

Regardless of the type you choose, installing window tinting will extend the life of your vehicle’s interior and make your daily drives cooler. For vehicle owners who have kids, are more sensitive to the sun, or are living with eye issues that make night driving more difficult, window tint can be a tool to protect against sun damage and easier on the eyes while driving. At Summit Auto Spa we pride ourselves on educating all our customers, new and old, about the options, their value, and their costs.
