Of course we say it’s important to wash your truck. But there really are many benefits to a clean truck and not just because it looks better.
A clean truck helps prevent damage to paintwork
Dirt, grime, salt and other environmental contaminants can build up on your truck. Especially if you drive in areas prone to rain, snow or on coastal roads. Regular washing helps prevent rust and corrosion, which can damage the paint and metal over time.
Likewise bird droppings and tree sap can eat away at your truck’s paint if you regularly park under trees or in other areas where birds nest.
A clean truck will last longer because you’re taking care of both its exterior and interior. Dirt and debris can wear down materials faster, leading to repairs or replacements. Dirt and salt can damage the undercarriage, which is crucial for your truck’s structure and safety.
A well-maintained truck will retain its resale value better than one that looks worn out. Regular cleaning, both inside and out, helps keep the truck in top condition, for better resale.

Keeping your windshield, mirrors, headlights and tail lights clean improves visibility and safety while driving. Dirt and grime can reduce the effectiveness of your lights, making it harder for you to see and for others to see you. Especially at night or during bad weather.
Remarkably, a clean truck maybe slightly more aerodynamic, meaning improved fuel efficiency, especially at greater speed.
Keep the interior clean, too
Regularly cleaning the interior helps prevent the buildup of dust, dirt and allergens. This makes the cab an all round healthier place to be. This is especially important if you’re sleeping in your cab. It can also prevent the wear and tear of upholstery and trim over time.
A clean truck is good for branding and business, it shows if you take care of your truck you’re likely to take care with other parts of the business. Eg, the load you’re carrying.
Cleaning may also mean your truckwasher spots things that may need attention, eg, scratches, low tyre pressure, which means you can stay on top of maintenance.

A cleaner truck is easier to clean. Dirt and grime that has been there a while that has become caked on is much harder to remove and could cost more at the truckwash.
