Many times, people think it's best to detail their vehicles
after the winter storms pass. But we here at Kearney Auto Restyling believe that should be done before the chill even hits. Here's why:
As winter creeps in, it’s crucial to prepare your vehicle for the challenges posed by Missouri’s harsh winter conditions. At Kearney Auto Restyling, we understand the importance of keeping your vehicle in top condition, and detailing plays a significant role in that process. Here’s why you should consider detailing your vehicle—whether it’s a thorough detail or a premium ceramic coating—before the frigid winter weather and road crews start spraying the roads.
1. Preemptive Protection Against Harsh Elements
Missouri winter weather can be particularly unforgiving. The use of brine on the roads, combined with road salt, grime, and ice, can corrode your vehicle’s paint and undercarriage. A professional detail will remove these harmful contaminants and apply protective wax or ceramic coatings that shield your vehicle from the elements, significantly reducing the risk of rust and damage.
2. Improved Visibility and Safety Through Detailing
Clear visibility is essential for safe driving in winter conditions. Detailing ensures that your windows, headlights, and taillights are thoroughly cleaned, polished, or even restored, providing optimal visibility when you need it the most. Dirty, untreated windshields or foggy lights can impair your ability to see and be seen, increasing the risk of accidents during those long winter nights.
3. Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Winter can be dreary, but a clean and well-maintained vehicle can brighten your day. A thorough detail revitalizes your car's appearance, both inside and out. Whether it’s a simple wash and wax or a ceramic coating, a shiny, clean vehicle is always a pleasure to drive amidst the cold, gray winter days.
4. Protection For Your Investment
Your vehicle is a significant investment, and detailing it before winter is part of responsible ownership in our opinion. Regular detailing helps maintain the value of your vehicle by keeping the paint and interior in excellent condition, which can make a difference if you decide to sell or trade it in later. If you were to neglect having your vehicle detailed, especially through the winter, the harsh weather and buildup of grime, salt, and brine can physically damage your vehicle.
5. Convenience During Harsh Weather
As winter weather sets in, your vehicle is likely to accumulate more dirt and stains from snow, brine, and slush. A pre-winter detail simplifies maintenance throughout the season. When your vehicle is clean and protected, it’s easier to maintain its appearance with quick washes rather than dealing with heavy grime buildup
after
the winter season.
6. Robust & Long-Lasting Protection with A Ceramic Coating
To elevate your vehicle's protection, consider a ceramic coating. This solution forms a durable layer over your vehicle’s paint, offering long-lasting protection against winter’s harsh conditions, including road brine. It repels water, dirt, and grime, making it easier to keep your vehicle clean throughout the season.
So, before you think "I'll just wait until spring to have my vehicle detailed." Consider what you've read in this post, a detail before the cold weather and harsh grime will make your vehicle much easier to clean come springtime, and most importantly, it will be protected from those damaging elements, instead of holding onto those surfaces for months. Preparing your vehicle for Missouri’s winter goes beyond just checking the oil or changing the wipers; detailing plays a crucial role in ensuring your vehicle looks great and remains protected from the elements. At Kearney Auto Restyling, we offer a variety of detailing services tailored to your needs, from standard washes to ceramic coatings.
