Why Car Washes Are Important
Taking care of a vehicle involves more than just maintaining the equipment under the hood. Car washes keep a vehicle shiny and clean, which can help it look good while sitting in the driveway or cruising the highway. However, regular car washes are more than cosmetic.
• Protection from the sun: A car that is routinely and properly washed and waxed is less vulnerable to damage from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
• Extend the life of paint: Dirt and debris can build up on the paint surface and eventually lead to scratches and other damage. Bird droppings and sap can be corrosive. Washing will help remove grime and protect the paint in the process.
• Preserve the vehicle’s value: Drivers who plan to sell or trade in their vehicles in the future should realize that a wellmaintained car can bring in as much as 20 percent more for above-average condition, according to Kelley Blue Book. Maintaining a clean and shiny vehicle can protect its long-term value.
• Remove salt: Drivers who live near the ocean or in areas where roads are salted in the winter to melt snow may have cars with high salt corrosion rates. Unless it’s washed off frequently, salt can take its toll, leading to damage.
• Improve fuel efficiency: Drivers have felt pain in their wallets at the fuel pump in recent years. Dirty cars may be less aerodynamic and less fuel-efficient as a result. Keeping a car clean may improve its fuel efficiency.
• Maintain the interior: Car washes are not only about the exterior. Keeping a clean and tidy interior can help improve the air quality inside of the vehicle and prolong the life of upholstery, mats and interior components.
Town of Babylon Officials Join Nation In Celebrating America’s Historic 250th Birthday
The Town of Babylon proudly joined communities across the nation in celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, marking a historic milestone in the story of the United States of America.
Town officials gathered alongside representatives
from every level of government for a commemorative photograph honoring America’s Semiquincentennial and reflecting on the principles that have guided the nation for two and a half centuries— faith, freedom, democracy, and the enduring belief that all people are created equal.
Councilman Terence McSweeney said the occasion served as a reminder of both the extraordinary blessings of American citizenship and the sacrifices that made those blessings possible.
“It was a tremendous honor to stand shoulder to shoulder with my colleagues from every level of government as we celebrated the 250th Birthday of the United States of America,” said McSweeney. “For 250 years, America has stood as the greatest beacon of freedom, opportunity, and hope the world has ever known. The liberties we enjoy today were secured through the courage and sacrifice of generations of patriots who placed love of country above self. On this historic anniversary, we honor our Founding Fathers, our veterans, our active-duty military, our first responders, and every American who works each day to strengthen this nation. We have been blessed to inherit the greatest country on Earth, and it is our solemn duty to preserve that legacy for our children and grandchildren.”
Town of Babylon
Supervisor Rich Schaffer said the nation’s 250th birthday is an opportunity for Americans to celebrate their shared history while looking confidently toward the future.
“Today we celebrate not only the birth of our nation, but the enduring ideals of freedom, liberty, and opportunity that have defined America for 250 years,” said Supervisor Rich Schaffer. “We are forever grateful to the brave men and women who fought for our independence, defended our Constitution, and continue to protect our freedoms at home and abroad. Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom is never guaranteed—it is earned, protected, and passed from one generation to the next. As we commemorate this remarkable milestone, let us
continue working together to ensure that the American Dream remains alive for generations to come.”
As Americans gathered in communities across the country to celebrate Independence Day, Town officials encouraged residents to reflect on the courage of those who
forged the nation in 1776, remember the heroes who have defended its freedoms throughout history, and recommit themselves to the values that continue to make the United States a shining example of liberty and democracy throughout the world.
The Town of Babylon
proudly joins millions of Americans in celebrating 250 years of independence, sacrifice, patriotism, and freedom.
Happy 250th Birthday, America. May God continue to bless the United States of America, and may God bless all those who proudly defend her.
