December Car Care: Keep Your Vehicle Clean and Protected This Winter at Spanky’s Car Wash

December is here, and winter weather has officially arrived in the Yakima Valley. Between colder temperatures, wet roads, and increased grime, your vehicle takes on more wear this time of year than most people realize. At Spanky’s Car Wash, we help drivers in Yakima, Sunnyside, and Richland keep their cars clean, protected, and ready for winter driving.

Why Winter Car Washes Matter More Than Ever
During December, moisture, dirt, and road debris can build up quickly on your vehicle. When grime sits too long—especially around wheel wells and the undercarriage—it can lead to corrosion and long-term damage. Regular car washes during winter help remove buildup before it causes issues, keeping your car looking good and lasting longer.

Simple December Tips to Protect Your Vehicle
A little extra care now goes a long way through the winter months:
  • Wash Consistently: Winter roads create constant buildup. Frequent washes prevent damage to paint and trim.
  • Add Protective Wax: Wax helps shield your vehicle from moisture and grime while maintaining shine.
  • Check Tires and Fluids: Cold temperatures affect tire pressure and engine fluids—staying ahead keeps you safe
  • Keep the Interior Clean: Wet shoes and coats can wear down flooring and upholstery if ignored.

Now that summer is in full swing, it's the perfect time to get your car in top shape. With the warmer weather, longer days, and fun adventures ahead, your vehicle is bound to face the elements—from road trips to outdoor activities and everything in between. At Spanky's Car Wash, we’re here to help you keep your car looking great while also extending its life. Whether you're in Yakima, Sunnyside, or Richland, our convenient locations are ready to serve you. Why Summer Car Care is So Important Summer heat and road trips can take a toll on your car’s exterior. The hot sun, dust, and pollen can cause build-up on your car’s paint, and insects, tree sap, and bird droppings can leave behind sticky residue that may damage your vehicle’s finish. Regular washes not only keep your car looking shiny and new, but they also protect the paint and finish from the harmful effects of summer elements. Taking Care of Your Car During Summer Heat To ensure your vehicle stays in great condition all season, here are some tips for summer car care: Frequent Car Washes: Keeping your car clean prevents dirt and grime from building up, which can cause long-term damage to the paint. Regular washes also remove debris that can scratch the surface or cause discoloration. Wax for Extra Protection: A layer of wax acts as a protective barrier against UV rays, bugs, and tree sap. It helps maintain your car's shine and provides added protection for the paint against summer heat. Check Fluid Levels: Summer temperatures can affect your car’s fluids. Make sure to check your oil, coolant, and brake fluid regularly to keep everything running smoothly. This will also help prevent your engine from overheating during those hot days. Tire Care: High temperatures can cause tire pressure to rise, so check your tires regularly and keep them properly inflated. This will improve fuel efficiency, handling, and safety. Why Choose Spanky's Car Wash? At Spanky's Car Wash, we offer a range of car care services to keep your vehicle in peak condition throughout the summer months.
