Truck Wheels and Cleaning Your Truck

Most truck owners give priority to things like truck wheels and oil changes. However, sometimes washing their truck on a regular basis takes a back burner. In fact, there are truck owners who will tell you that washing their truck is just a waste of time and money.

If you are smart, you will realize that this is simply not true. Your truck needs to be washed on a regular basis, just like your body does. Not necessarily for the same reasons of course.

And if you think the only reason to wash your truck is to keep it looking good, you would be wrong about that as well. There are several good reasons to wash your truck on a regular basis. BB Wheels presents the reasons you should be washing your truck on a regular basis.

For Your Health

Sure, washing your truck is good exercise, you could stand to lose a pound or two as well, but we aren't talking healthy in that sense. You see, your steering wheel, dash and other interior parts get dirty and covered in harmful bacteria. Cleaning these areas when you clean the interior of your truck will get rid of the harmful bacteria keeping you and your passengers healthy.

If you have any doubts, think about the amount of time you spend in your truck and all of the activities you do in your truck. Think about the things you touch right before you get in your truck that could have germs, like the gas pump handle or the door handle to the convenience store.

And then think about the food you eat in your truck and how easy it would be to transfer harmful bacteria from your center console to your mouth.

That’s what we thought, now go clean your truck.

The Elements are Damaging Your Truck

The sun, salt, bugs and bird poop, yes, bird poop, are all elements that can damage your truck. All of those and acid rain too.

These elements can damage paint, chrome, metal and the finish of your truck wheels. Nobody wants bird poop causing rust and corrosion to their truck.

Preventing this type of damage to your truck is a heck of a lot cheaper than having to have it fixed. So loosen up that wallet and drop a few bucks to wash your truck.

Safety

All of that dirt and grime on your truck gives your paint job a dull look. This looks bad to be sure, but it gets worse. You see, dull paint makes it more difficult for other drivers to see your truck in the dark or in weather conditions that decrease visibility.

Fuel Economy

A clean truck is a truck that gets better gas mileage. We get it, a lot of you are seriously doubting us about this. You are wondering how the heck a little dirt and grime can diminish gas mileage.

Well, just so you know, this was tested on an episode of Mythbusters. It might not seem like a big deal, but clean trucks get about two more miles per gallon. This can add up to some serious cash over the course of a year.

It Just Looks Better

Take some pride in your truck, man. A clean truck just looks better than a dirty truck and there are people in this country who will judge you because you have a dirty truck.

What are you doing this weekend? You should take a little time out of your weekend to clean your truck. Take it to a car wash if you are too lazy to wash it yourself, they aren't all that expensive.
