How often should you detail your car?

The vehicles we drive are a reflection about us. Our style, tastes and perceptions of the world reflect our values. If your car is clean and well-maintained, it will show those around you that the owner takes care of you and is committed to looking your best.

How often should you still have details done, though? Is there a limit to how much you should be doing?

While it’s recommended to have your car detailed every 4 to 6 months, which may include not only the exterior but also the main driving area and items like wheels, there are three primary factors that should be considered: style, personal taste, and cost.

DETAILING COA: LIFESTYLE ACTOR

Lifestyle is about how active your lifestyle is and what you do in your car.

  • Do you regularly take your car to the shops?
  • Do you like to travel in the harshest weather conditions?
  • Place it underneath a tree branch that is full of leaves and dust.

This determines the condition of your car and how often you may need to clean it.

DETAILING CURR: PERSONAL TYLE FIXOR

Personal style can be defined as how you present and present yourself.

  • Do you want to be a true enthusiast and excel in your chosen field?
  • Are you the casual type that likes your car looking great but is more laid-back?

It’s all about how frequently you want it cleaned.

DETAILING COA: COST FACTOR

Last, but not least, comes the cost.

  • What value do your car’s appearance have on you?
  • Is it something that you have the money to invest in two to three times each year?

These questions will help you get a better sense of how often your car needs to be detailed.
