It may feel like winter will never end, but spring and warmer weather aren’t that far away. Aside from the cold weather and icy roads, winter road treatments can wreak havoc on your car. Snow, ice, salt, and sand all take their toll on both the interior and exterior of your car. After a harsh winter, a simple car wash isn’t going to cut it. Bringing your car to Erick’s Custom Exhaust & Auto Repair for auto detailing is the best way to remove the dirt and grime that built up on your car over the winter.
Is auto detailing really worth the expense? Here’s why you should consider this service for your car after a harsh winter.
Protect your paint.
The salt and sand used to melt ice on the roads can damage your car’s paint. A detailer can remove these contaminants and protect your paint with a sealant or wax. Protecting your paint also protects the rest of your car. The paint prevents the body of your car from rusting and exposing the internal components.
Remove dirt and grime.
Your car picks up a lot of dirt in the winter. There’s a lot of salt and sand on the road, and driving through puddles, snowbanks, and slush throws it up onto your car. You also track dirt into your car on your shoes, so the interior of your car can be just as dirty as the outside. You can go to a car wash and vacuum the inside of your car, but you won’t reach the same level of cleanliness that you get from auto detailing.
Restore the shine.
Being spattered with sand and slush takes the shine off your car’s finish. Polishing and waxing your car restores its shine so that it looks just as good as the day you drive it off the lot.
Improve the resale value.
If you’re planning on buying a new car, it’s easier to sell your old one if it looks nice. Even if you’re trading your car into the dealership, keeping it clean is still a good idea. If your car is clean and tidy, it gives the impression that you’ve taken care of it, so the dealer is more likely to give you a higher trade-in value.
