Remove the salt and grime at #1 Express Carwash
Published Jan. 21, 2009

Now that winter’s in full gear, it’s more important than ever to have your vehicle washed regularly to protect its finish and your investment.  According to Don Sears, owner of #1 Express Carwash & Detail Center in Westlake, many leading auto industry experts recommend that Northeast Ohio car owners have their car washed at least two to three times each month. “It protects the car’s finish from long-term damage from corrosive road salt, deicing materials and winter road grime. Other harmful elements such as bugs, bird droppings, tree sap, occur more in the spring and summer.  Acid rain, which is common in urban industrial areas such as Northeast Ohio, will actually eat through a car’s finish and clear coat, permanently etching the finish.  The effects are most noticeable on vehicles with a dark or metallic finish,” said Sears.  “If you see or feel any build up on your car, such as salt, bugs, bird droppings, wash your vehicle within a few days to avoid corrosion. To further protect a vehicle’s exterior, a complete professional detail is recommended once or twice a year.”

#1 Express Carwash uses the latest in carwash technology without brushes and for the second consecutive year, was voted the best carwash by the readers of West Shore Magazine. The 150-foot express tunnel uses innovative technology to measure the actual size of a car to ensure a complete wash from bumper to bumper. The combination of high-pressure water, soft-cloth, safe soaps and polishes, and spot free rinse produces a clean and brilliant shine without damaging the paint or finish. Thirteen high-powered touch-free blowers dry the car. With each express carwash purchased, all customers receive a receipt which is a coupon for a discount of up to $4 off their next carwash with the same vehicle within 30 days. For the do-it-yourself washer, there are three high pressure self serve bays, eight vacuums, and over 20 car care products offered in the vending area.
