Car Detailing Tips for Winter
The winter months in Nelson bring unique challenges for keeping your vehicle looking its best. Rain, mud, and changing conditions can take a toll on your car’s appearance and protection. Here are our top recommendations for winter car care.
Pre-Winter Preparation
Before winter fully sets in, we recommend a thorough detail including:
- Complete paint decontamination
- Application of a durable sealant or ceramic coating
- Thorough interior cleaning and protection
- Treatment of rubber seals and trim
Weekly Maintenance During Winter
Regular Rinsing
Even when you don’t have time for a full wash, a quick rinse can help remove harmful contaminants before they bond to your paint. Focus on wheel arches and lower panels where road grime accumulates.
Interior Care
Winter means more moisture and mud tracking into your vehicle. Use quality floor mats and regularly vacuum to prevent staining and moisture damage.
Products We Recommend
For winter protection, look for products with:
- Strong hydrophobic properties
- UV protection (even in winter, UV rays can damage paint)
- Salt and contaminant resistance
