As winter comes to a halt and the temperature starts warming
up, the springtime would be a great time to refresh the protective
elements of your vehicle. This is because the salt that is applied
to the roads during a snowstorm can be a real threat to the
protective properties of your car’s application of wax. Road salt’
s corrosive properties eat away at your wax protection. If left
long enough, the dirt and salt from the roads can completely
remove the protective properties of many waxes and paint
sealants. Without wax on your vehicle your clearcoat will
become contaminated, and your vehicle will not be able to stay
as clean for as long as it can be with fresh coat of wax (since the
enhanced slickness of a waxed surface reduces the ability of dirt
and rain from sticking onto the surface). Since there is a high
probability that your wax protection was compromised, a
thorough clay barring treatment prior to waxing would be a great
way to start the new season.
Summer detailing
As summer approaches one should prepare their vehicles for
warm temperatures and the sun’s damaging UV rays. This
means your paint should have a fresh coat of wax to prevent the
sun from fading your paint, especially red cars, as this color is
the most prone to oxidation. Having a fresh coat of wax also
facilitates easier removal of bugs and tar from the front end of
your vehicle. CP Car Detailing also likes to focus on applying a
wax or paint sealant to all exterior windows to make driving in
the rain much safer and easier. At highway speeds you shouldn’t
have to use windshield wipers because the rain will bead and fly
off the windshield in a very dramatic fashion. When interior
detailing, materials should be dressed with a product that
includes UV inhibitors to prevent the sun from prematurely
fading and cracking the surfaces. As the temperatures increase,
your brakes pads will produce more brake dust, which means
your wheels should be waxed as well to ensure no brake dust
etches into the wheel’s surface.
Fall detailing
Fall detailing is all about preparing for winter. Since the
temperatures are manageable at this time, it is important to add
as much protection as possible to the exterior of the vehicle
before the first snowfall to ensure you can fight the damaging
effects of road salt. To ensure the most protection possible, CP
Car Detailing suggests using more durable paint sealants and
car waxes, as well as the application of multiple coats.
Winter detailing
Winter detailing is all about prevention. Ideally one should clean
their vehicle as often as possible to ensure no build-up of road
salt on painted surfaces. The longer road salt stays on a
vehicles surface, the more time the salt has to eat away at your
wax’s protective elements. Taking advantage of warmer
temperatures to wax your vehicle with a durable car wax or paint
sealant will ensure minimal loss of protection throughout the
season. During winter it is also crucially important to minimize
contact with the paint. What this means is DO NOT remove
snow from your vehicle’s painted surfaces with an ice scrapper
or brush. This is one of the most damaging things you can do to
your vehicle, which can result in heavy swirling and scratching of
your paint. Using some sort of heating element or hot water will
safely melt the snow without damaging your paint. If you must
remove the snow on your vehicle, use a microfiber towel and
gently and slowly use downwards motions, starting at the top of
the vehicle and moving downwards with each stroke. This
ensures you are not introducing dirt from the bottom of the
vehicle to the upper portions of the vehicle.

When detailing a vehicle, it is
important to remember to always
consider the season that the vehicle
will be exposed to in order to ensure
maximum protection from the unique
problems that can arise in specific
seasons.
