As a detailer, I still have those last minute stragglers wanting one last detail before winter. My season ends officially Oct. 31st. The only vehicles that get detailed after that time are my own. I want everyone to know that anyone can keep their vehicle protected from Old Man Winter until their next professional job.

Most waxes and polishes recommend you use them at least 2-3 times a year. I recommend more! My cars are 8-10 yrs. old and they look awesome! I suggest we all keep a fresh coat of wax on our vehicles wherever and whenever we can. Whether you have a brand new car or well kept older model, you can keep your vehicle protected and still sport a shiny vehicle.

Today, waxes come in spray bottles which makes them easier and faster to utilize. During the Spring and Summer, at least once or twice a week I have applied a fresh coat of Final Detail Spray Wax with Zynol or Eagle One Nano Spray Wax on both of my vehicles after washing them. As a result, our vehicles have deep color definition and peak shine! Both of these awesome products can be applied to the vehicle's finish, glass and metal(rims)!

I recommend we all obtain either Final Detail spray wax or Eagle One Nano wax along with a few microfiber towels and prepare now for protection from winter's wrath. The best way to keep up with your protection and shine is to polish your vehicle when you can--on those obviously nice days during the winter and always use wax when using the Laser Wash or self-serve car wash. Keeping a coat of wax on your vehicle will keep your finish protected until Spring when you can get a thorough cleaning.

For interior cleaning, use plastic mats that will protect your carpeting from salt and sand damage. For dusting, use Swiffer Duster and a microfiber towel in your vehicle. Microfiber for the windows and Swiffer Duster for a dusty dash, vents and surfaces that attract dirt and dust.

As always, please drive safely. Marie
