How Often Should You Valet Your Car?

2026-05-22

The short answer

As a rule of thumb, a maintenance wash every 2–4 weeks and a full valet every 2–3 months keeps most cars looking their best. If you park under trees, near the coast or do lots of motorway miles, lean toward the more frequent end.

Why it's not just about looks

Bird droppings, tree sap, road salt and brake dust are mildly corrosive. Left on the paint they etch the lacquer and dull the finish, which hits resale value. Regular valeting removes these contaminants before they can do damage.

Protect it for longer

A wax or sealant every few months — or a ceramic coating once a year or two — makes washing easier and shields the paint from UV and grime. It's the cheapest insurance your paintwork will ever get.
