A Season-by-Season Guide"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The honest answer is every two weeks for most drivers. But the weather, where you park and what you drive through all shift that number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Winter: every 7 to 10 days<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Road salt and brine eat at brake lines, wheel arches and lower panels. Wash more often, and always ask for an underbody rinse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spring: every 2 weeks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pollen and tree sap are acidic and bake into paint on the first warm days. Do not leave them sitting for a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summer: every 2 weeks, sooner after road trips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bug splatter and bird droppings can etch clear coat in a few days of hot sun. Remove them quickly, even if the rest of the car can wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fall: every 2 to 3 weeks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wet leaves stain paint and block drain channels.
