Should You Detail Your Vehicle In The Winter Months?

Why You Should Detail Your Car In The Winter

Many people ask if should you detail your car in the winter? Yes! While you may not get to enjoy having a clean car for as long, it has many “car health” benefits to help your vehicle last longer. There are so many benefits to detailing your vehicle in the winter. If you are located in the Northeast like AAG Auto Detailing, the excessive salt and grime on the roads can coat your vehicle with only a short drive. Keeping your vehicle clean will prevent damage to your finish and paint.

Damage Caused To Your Car By The Winter Weather

If you leave the salt and grime on your car from the winter roads, it will lead to a variety of problems. They are as follows:

  • Rust & Corrosion: Specifically on the undercarriage of your car that has exposed metal. If you do not wash and clean your car in the winter, it can lead to shortening the life of your car. Keep your car clean in the winter to retain your vehicle’s health.
  • Paint Discoloration: The salt and grime left on your car will eat away at your car’s wax, then the finish, then the paint, and finally the metal. Allowing the salt, chemicals, and grime to sit on your car in the winter will lead to your vehicle never looking as good as the day you bought it.
  • Paint Chipping: This is caused by the salt, cinders, and rocks on the road. If your paint is weakened by the salt sitting on it or your vehicle is damaged from regular wear and tear, that damage can leave your paint exposed. Have your paint corrected as soon as possible to prevent more damage to your vehicle’s paint and finish.
  • Interior Build-Up Of Dirt & Salt: In the winter months, it only takes one snowstorm to see the salt marks inside your vehicle. Especially if you have a black interior, the white rings from the snow that melted off your feet will look unappealing.


No Long Waits To Detail Your Vehicle In The Winter

Most people detail their cars in the summer months to show it off at car shows and because the weather remains nice for a longer period of time. Because of this, if you have your car detailed in the winter, you probably won’t have to wait for a few weeks to schedule your car detailing, but only a few days.

How To Effectively Protect Your Car's Paint The paint of your car serves as a barrier against environmental factors, road debris, and everyday use in addition to being a beautiful layer of color. Maintaining it with protection not only keeps your automobile looking good, but it also keeps your car's worth over time. Here's a few ways to preserve the paint of your car and help it to last longer. 1. Frequent Cleaning and Detailing Maintaining the integrity of your car's paint depends on keeping it clean. Plan on doing routine cleaning and detailing to get rid of chemicals from the salt and winter spray that is on the roads, dirt, and grime that can erode the paint's gloss. To preserve gloss and protection, expert car detailers advise a thorough wash and detailing every few months. 2. Quickly Remove Bugs and Bird Droppings Even while bugs and bird droppings look innocuous, if you ignore them, they can seriously damage your paint. Bird droppings' acidic substances have the potential to permanently harm the clear coat by etching into it. Insects can also cause discoloration and deterioration. In order to stop the bird poop and bugs from leaving discoloration or depressions in your paint, remove them right away. 3. Apply A Ceramic Coating You should consider giving your car's paint a ceramic coating for the best possible protection. Ceramic coatings successfully protect your paint from environmental degradation by producing a long-lasting, hydrophobic layer that repels dirt, water, and UV rays. This durable solution majorly impacts your vehicle's appearance. With a ceramic coating, your car will continue to look its finest for many years to come.
