How often should you wash your truck?
For transport trucks, we recommend an exterior wash every week or every two weeks. Of course, this depends on how the truck is used, but if it’s on the road every day, this washing frequency should be maintained.
Is it really necessary to wash the truck’s exterior?
Yes, because washing the truck’s bodywork is much more than an aesthetic operation. With intensive use, many contaminants stick to the truck’s exterior: bird droppings, dust, mud, dead insects. Simply put, the truck is large, so it collects more dirt than cars. Some of these contaminants are acidic and can damage the paint, eventually harming the bodywork. In winter, road salt adds to the problem by causing corrosion. Therefore, it’s very important to clean your truck regularly with professional care, like at Truck Wash Garocentre.
Does it make sense to wash the truck when it rains?
Yes, and it’s actually even more beneficial to wash it when it’s raining: your truck arrives at the wash tunnel already wet. This means that dirt is already softened, making it easier to remove. The wash will be faster and more effective. At the end of the wash, your truck will receive a wax coating that protects it against rain and dirt.
Is it risky to wash the truck in winter?
On the contrary, it’s highly recommended! First, you should know that after washing in one of our tunnels, your truck will be dried and receive a protective wax coating. This means there’s no risk of freezing.
Second, winter is a dangerous season for bodywork: your truck picks up a lot of road salt. This salt builds up everywhere and causes corrosion of metal parts. It needs to be removed as often as possible to preserve your work tool. The best way to do this is with our Truck Wash at Garocentre, near La Louvière. In snowy or freezing conditions, we adjust our cleaning process to protect your truck as effectively as possible.
