The holidays mean one thing - road trips to visit family and friends.

The holiday season is here, and that means one thing - road trips. Whether you’re heading out of town to visit family, or getting out of town for a weekend, November is the perfect time to prepare your vehicle for the miles ahead. Before you hit the road, make sure your car is ready for the season — starting with a visit to Wild Water Car Wash & Pet Wash.


1. Start with a Clean Slate

Before anything, give your car a proper wash. A clean vehicle isn’t just about looks — it’s about safety and performance. Dirt, salt, and grime can build up on your car’s surface and undercarriage, leading to corrosion and dull paint over time. At Wild Water, our powerful washes remove the buildup that comes from fall weather and prep your car for the months ahead.


2. Protect Your Ride from Road Salt and Grime

If your holiday route takes you through snowy or icy areas, road salt can wreak havoc on your car’s finish and underbody. Routine washes during winter are essential to remove corrosive materials and protect your paint, wheels, and undercarriage. Wild Water’s specialized wash options help defend your vehicle all season long, keeping it shining from bumper to bumper.


3. Don’t Forget the Inside

Winter’s salt and grime can take a toll on your car’s interior as well. Before you head out, swing by one of our locations for a quick vacuum, shampoo, and mat cleaning. Our Ames location also offers fragrance machines. You’ll thank yourself later when your car feels fresh and comfortable for those long drives.


4. Stay Ready with a Wash Club Membership

Frequent washes are a must through the winter months — and with a Wild Water Wash Club, staying clean is easier than ever. Members enjoy daily washes for one low monthly price, so you can stop by anytime to keep your vehicle protected and looking great, no matter how far the road takes you.


5. Tail-Wagging Washes for Our Four-Legged Friends

A quick pre-trip wash for your furry friend does more than make them look cute in the back of the seat, it helps protect them and you car. All that wet snow, slush, and salt ends up muddying their paws and coat. A quick wash keeps them and your cars interior clean and the warm bath helps prevents irritation from the cold, dry air. By giving your pup a little cleanup before you set off, you’re setting your car (and you pet) up for a smoother ride.


Before you load up the car and set off for your holiday destination, make Wild Water Car Wash and Pet Wash your first stop. A clean, protected vehicle means less worry and more focus on what really matters — enjoying the journey.
