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
