HELPFUL HINTS to assist you in protecting the finish of your car and maintaining its value.

1. Park under shelter as much as possible, and try to avoid parking under trees.

2. Have your car professionally cleaned by hand on a regular basis.Time is not on your side. The longer road grime, heavy soiling and other harmful substances are left on your car, the greater the probability and extent of damage. Frequent professional washing can minimise and even eliminate this risk. We believe every car needs washing at least fortnightly, and more frequently if necessary.

When the paintwork on your car is marred by tree sap, bird droppings or other corrosive substances immediate skilled cleaning is necessary. Let us deal with this for you to avoid unsightly permanent damage, which can very easily happen if the incorrect process is used.

Clean wheels. Road grime and brake dust cling to wheels and hubcaps. If not removed regularly these elements can actually permeate into metal causing damage and an unsightly appearance. The wheel cleaning treatment you receive at Rub-A-Dub removes the dirt and helps to preserve the appearance of your cars' wheels.

3. Why have your car washed at Rub-A-Dub?Rub-A-Dub has a unique hand washing process. Cars are WASHED BY HAND as they are conveyed through the automated tunnel, which provides optimum flow of water and detergent.

Some car owners have had a perception over many years that Mechanical Car Washes are harmful to their cars' paintwork (as well as concerns over aerials, mirrors, telephone aerials and soft tops). This new hands on approach overcomes the fear of damage.

It also enables more thorough cleaning because we are able to get into the nooks and crannies which are often missed by brushes.

4. Protect your environment. When your car is washed at home the run off containing dirt and detergent goes into storm water drains and ends up in Port Phillip Bay.

Rub-A-Dub uses advanced technologies and specifically designed equipment to conserve water by recycling it. The dirt and detergents are channelled to our on-site water treatment plants. Rub-A-Dub washes your car with a fraction of the water used at home and is environmentally friendly.

5. Just purchased a new car or want to give your car extra protection? Exposure to sunlight with its damaging ultraviolet rays accelerates the ageing process and reduces the gloss on your cars' finish. Regular professional hand polishing provides a protective barrier while enhancing the gloss and shine on your car.

To best maintain the finish on your car we recommend a Hand Polish every three to six months. The interval will depend on whether your car is garaged under cover
