Now that the sun is shining so brightly on your car, you can see every spot and leaf on it even better than usual. And that's why we all want a clean car. But be careful: don't wash your car on the hottest days.

The metal plates your car is largely made of retain a lot of heat. This causes water to dry very quickly, leaving those unsightly dried droplets on your paint. Detergents also dry much faster in the car, which also leads to stains and streaks. And that's precisely what we wanted to avoid.

And the car wash?

Now that we in the Netherlands also need to conserve water, it's not wise to use huge buckets of water to clean your car. Theo Heikamp of Dico Carwash explains: "A car wash uses 350 to 450 liters of water. On average, this amounts to 150 liters of fresh water." It's also better for the environment not to wash your car at home. Car washes use groundwater instead of seawater. Wastewater is also properly filtered, and at home, it simply flows down the drain.

Bird droppings. We don't want that.

Bird droppings are never fun. But when it's hot, it's a real nuisance. The acids in bird droppings will damage your paint even faster at high temperatures. This results in dull spots or even damaged paint. So keep a close eye on it and remove it in time! Just be careful of scratches and other damage when polishing.

GPS tracker for exact location

So, are you ready to wash your car? Then you need to know where it is. The GPS tracker gives You can always track your car's location via your online account and the app. A completely new version of the TrackJack smartphone app was launched last month, making it the perfect tool for tracking and monitoring your car. Sometimes it can be that easy.
