“We are so excited to extend such a fun and engaging offer to our customers and Shockers fans through opportunities like this, thanks to our ongoing partnership with Wichita State University,” said Mark Youngworth, Chief Marketing Officer, ZIPS Car Wash. “Shockers fans can enter to win prizes through our social channels, making it super simple for any fan to enter to win during the promotion, which lasts until April 30^th,” he added.

And, with ZIPS gift cards as part of the prize pack, customers can wash away the pollen just as it starts to settle in. According to weather experts, pollen has arrived early and at an all-time high. What most people don’t know is what pollen can do to your vehicle’s exterior and interior if left unattended. ZIPS Car Wash has tips to help you keep your vehicle clean and protected this spring at its seven Wichita locations and over 275 locations across the country.

“Pollen can have a negative impact on your paint job, it can alter the effectiveness of your windshield wipers and even impact the interior of your car,” said Gil Castro, long-time car washing expert and Vice-President of Facilities for ZIPS Car Wash.  “Over time, pollen buildup can begin to deteriorate your vehicle’s paint job, potentially leading to chips, rust, and an overall hazy appearance,” he added.  

ZIPS Car Wash recommends using their Z5X ceramic coating as part of your car wash experience because it acts like a protector for your paint job and the more you use it, the more it builds up to defend against erosion, dings, pollen and other everyday wear and tear. Frequent washing is the best way to protect your vehicle this time of year to avoid the buildup and prevent damage. Z5X ceramics is available in ZIPS’ Get It All car wash package and Get It All Unlimited Club Membership.

“We’re aware that most car washes are extremely busy this time of year and so we are now offering Member Only Lanes at all 275+ ZIPS locations, to get our unlimited club members through the wash quickly and efficiently and to make the lines shorter for our retail customers,” Castro added. “We’ve also made our car washes available to purchase online to get customers through the checkout process quickly. When you buy online, you get a discount and can use the car wash you purchase when it’s convenient for you by just scanning or entering your code when you arrive,” he said.

Experts recommend you keep the interior of your ride just as shiny and new looking as the outside. Plus, ignoring pollen on the interior of your vehicle can increase the allergic effects of pollen on you and your passengers.  Pollen particles can easily reach inside your vehicle through the ventilation system, your windows, and doors. Cleaning or replacing the cabin filters in your car, vacuuming your seats and floorboards, and wiping down the hard surfaces of your dashboard can help remove the pollen. ZIPS self-detailing centers include complimentary surface and glass cleaner, microfiber towels and turbo vacuums for use after your car wash. All Wichita ZIPS are now open until 8pm nightly for the company’s summer hours.

Join ZIPS in cheering on the Shockers at a LIVE remote with KFH, Wichita’s Sports Talk, held at ZIPS Car Wash, 700 N. Webb Road from 3:30 – 5:30pm on April 20^th for an opportunity to enter to win the Ultimate WSU Baseball Fan Experience in person, for free Shockers giveaways and to get your vehicle looking great for game day. WuShock will make an appearance and fans can enjoy a meet and greet with WSU Baseball coaches.
