How often should you wash in Kampala dust?
Most daily drivers need a maintenance wash every 10-14 days. Here is the simple rule we use.
Kampala roads throw red dust, diesel film, and tree sap onto paint faster than cooler cities.
If you park outside or drive Entebbe Road / Northern Bypass daily, book a maintenance wash about every two weeks. Office cars that stay under cover can stretch to three weeks. After heavy rain, rinse sooner - mud cakes and scratches when you wipe dry.
Interior: vacuum and wipe plastics monthly, or sooner if you carry kids or market runs. Leather likes a conditioner every other detail.
Tip: between visits, a quick detail spray and a clean microfiber keep fingerprints and light dust from etching into wax.
