Dog Days of Summer Car Care

Snap Dog knows a thing or two about summer car care, namely the importance of temperature control for the car wash. If you watered your lawn during the heat of the afternoon in the middle of July or August, the water would evaporate before it had time to soak in and give your thirsty grass a drink. There are similar factors in play when washing your car. Here’s how we make sure your trip through our tunnel is safe and effective for your vehicle.

If you were washing your car at home, you would ideally wash it early in the morning before the surface temperature of the car heats up above the 80-degree mark (when the mosquitos are out in full force…no thanks!). If possible, you’d want to wash it in the shade one section at a time because the heat and sun go to work drying your car right away and detergent residue leaves behind water spots, unsightly swirling and streaking that is difficult to remove without starting from scratch. Sound complicated?

At Snap Clean, our chemicals, detergents and surfactants are all stored at an optimal temperature unlike the heat of your garage during the dog days of summer. This means that our detergents and waxes perform the way they’re supposed to and you get the cleanest shine possible.

When you pull up at Snap Clean, a team-member pre-soaks your entire vehicle with a light coat of softened water to lower the surface temperature of your car along with a high quality detergent to loosen dirt and debris so they’ll fall right off in the wash. Next, our awesome tunnel goes to work with soft-cloth rotating brushes and our best-in-the-business cleaning agents to whisk away dirt and dust without scratching your paint job. Those chemicals are specifically chosen to remove contaminants and prepare the surface of your vehicle for the waxes and polishing agents that follow. Finally, our rinse, wax and dry process leaves your car with an optimal shine and no water spots!

We use the best chemicals and waxing agents in the business because we want you to experience the most brilliant shine possible. For most people, outside of their home, their car is their most expensive possession. We don’t take that lightly, and we strive to help you keep it in pristine condition so it will retain as much of its value as possible and so you’ll feel good driving it.

We always say that no matter what you drive, from a luxury vehicle down to an economy clunker, it just feels better to drive a CLEAN car. If you are ever unsatisfied, please talk to us!
