Detailing Your Car Prevents Rust!

As we travel on the Northern Michigan roads we are used to facing the freezing cold temperatures.  Taking our vehicle on the road during these freezing months also faces the freezing icy roads.  For us to be safe during the traveling morning commute we are conveniently provided salt on the roads.  This chemical reaction between the ice & salt helps the roads and sidewalks free of dangerous ice during this wintery months.

The salt lowers the water’s freezing point, which in turn causes ice that is already formed to melt even through the temperatures that are well below freezing.  With a bit of sand to top it off helps give us a bit of traction while traveling.

With the advantages received by the sale & sand this can also cause a lot of damage to your vehicle’s undercarriage & body damage unless you take extra care of your vehicle.

Here are some great tips to help you protect your vehicle from the ravaging salty & sandy roads.

Pre Plan Ahead!

1. To prevent from salt damage well before the wintery season hits us is having your vehicle thoroughly serviced by washing every inch of your vehicle including the undercarriage!
2. Apply a meticulous coat of wax and on top of that a wax sealant to help keep the wax to strongly adhere to the vehicles body / paint.
3. Have your vehicles undercarriage fully sealed with undercoat spray products. BE CAREFUL and pay attention to brake & fuel lines. Having a professional car detailer & auto body restoration shop can help you make the best choice & prevent from any damage!

Keep your Mean Machine Clean!

1. Regular Car Washes during the snow season is a great way to get the lovely salt off the body of your vehicle! Having professional services doing this helps ensure your vehicle will be fully dried out underneath during the detailing process.
2. During the car washes make sure you get your vehicle reapplied with wax & wax sealant.  Regular car washes do offer car waxing however they don’t adhere as a professional detailing service does.

Keeping a regular scheduled detailed vehicle inside & out helps keep the vehicle in tip top shape by just a few simple steps.  This prevents from rust damage, undercarriage damage, interior damage & much more.  Always seek a professional for services to help you keep the value of your vehicle at the top.

Salt does a lot of damage to our vehicles not just on the outside by also the inside too.
