Vehicle Cleaning: When getting you vehicle detailed, 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. 
Springtime Detailing:
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 clear coat 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. Pucktastic Auto Detailing also likes to focus on applying a water repellent (Aquapel) 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 very often because the rain will bead and fly off the windshield in a very dramatic fashion.
Summertime 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. 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, Pucktastic Auto Detailing suggests using more durable paint sealants and car waxes (such as the ones we use from Detailing King), as well as the application of a ceramic coating. To ensure maximum protection, fall is a good time to re-apply your rain repellent (Aquapel) 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 very often because the rain will bead and fly off the windshield in a very dramatic fashion. This also helps in prevent the snow and ice from sticking as much during the winter months.
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 do this will ensure minimal loss of protection throughout the season.
