We often think of auto detailing as an aesthetic thing, something you do to make your car look better. While that is certainly true, there are many practical benefits to detailing your car, especially as winter approaches. At Erick’s Custom Exhaust & Auto Repair, we want your car to be ready for winter inside and out. Auto detailing isn’t something extra that only people who are really passionate about their cars bother to do. It’s also an effective way to prolong the life of your vehicle.
Still not convinced? Here are three reasons why you should get auto detailing before the winter weather arrives.
A Barrier Against the Elements
In the winter, you have to deal with ice, snow, and slush, as well as salt and sand on the road. All those things can cause corrosion and rust to the exterior of your car and the car’s undercarriage. Detailing usually includes applying a protective layer of wax or sealant or a ceramic coating. They act as a protective barrier against the wet conditions and the salt and sand on the road. Cold temperatures can also make the paint on your car brittle. A protective coating preserves the integrity of your paint, preventing scratches and cracks.
Keep It Clean
Your car, that is. A clean car not only looks nice but also stays in good condition for a longer time. Rust and corrosion on the exterior of your car are due to exposure to the elements and dirt and grime sitting on the surface, reacting with and eating away at the paint or undercarriage. Detailing your car makes it easier to keep it clean and protect the exterior from rust and corrosion.
See More Clearly
Visibility is a major concern when driving in winter weather conditions. Driving in snow and sleet can have a serious impact on visibility while driving. Clean and treated windows can make a huge difference to how well you can see and how effective your windshield wipers are in icy conditions. Rain, snow, and ice will more easily come off your windshield making it safer to drive in those conditions.
