A clean car feels better to drive, and it holds its value better too. At WRPD in Chatsworth, customers often ask how often they should book a detail. The best schedule depends on how you use your car, and we are happy to help you find the right rhythm.
Here is the general guide we give our customers.
Every three to four months for most drivers
For a daily driver that commutes on the 118, the 405, or the 5, a full detail every three to four months keeps the paint protected and the interior fresh.
Regular details stop dirt, brake dust, and grime from building up, which makes every visit faster and keeps the car looking new year after year.
More often if the car works hard
If you have kids, pets, or a long daily commute, or the car sits outside under trees or near the hills, a detail every one to two months keeps everything under control.
Sap, bird droppings, and dust from Santa Susana Pass can etch paint when left too long, so more frequent visits protect the finish.
Less often with ceramic coating or PPF
A ceramic coated or PPF protected car stays cleaner and washes much faster. Many of our coated customers come in for a maintenance detail a few times a year and keep up with easy washes at home.
It is one of the biggest reasons people love coating their cars. Less work, and the car still looks amazing.
Between details
A gentle hand wash every week or two keeps the car looking sharp between visits. Use a pH neutral soap, a clean microfiber mitt, and dry with a soft towel.
Keeping a small trash bag and a microfiber cloth in the car helps the interior stay tidy too.
