Having your car washed regularly can protect the paint from eventual corrosion. Bird droppings, dirt, oil, and other irritants can strip the wax from your car leading to the possibility of chipped paint. It is suggested to get your car waxed properly two to four times per year. It really depends on where you live and whether or not your car is kept inside a garage overnight. Washing your car once or even twice a week is the ideal way to avoid corrosion.
Ocean air contains salt, which can erode the metal of your undercarriage and any other exposed metal. If your car is exposed when there is a lot of snow, the salted roads can contribute to metal erosion as well. It is always best to keep your exterior and undercarriage clean. A rust free car will add to the resale value of your vehicle when you decide to sell it in the future.
