There are many ways to be proactive in protecting your vehicle against winter weather, such as auto detailing. Road salt and ice can damage a car’s exterior, and freezing temperatures can cause leather seats to crack and tear. Consider the following reasons why you should get your car detailed to save you from a hefty repair bill in the future.

How Detailing Prepares Your Car for Winter

1. Protect Your Interior

During winter, you and your passengers will likely track snow into the car. When it melts, it may leave stains and odors on your car’s upholstery. Freezing temperatures can also make your leather seats, steering wheel cover, and dashboard crack if you don’t adequately treat them with a protective agent. Detailing should include applying specialized chemicals that waterproof your upholstery and protect the leather from damage.

2. Refresh Car Paint

A professional auto detailing technician will apply a protective layer of wax to prevent salt and other debris from causing these issues. 

3. Safeguard Your Tires

Freezing temperatures affect tire pressure, salt can damage the rubber, and road conditions can cause tires to slide across icy patches. These issues all reduce tire tread. As part of your auto detailing session, you can request for the service to apply a dressing to protect your tires from tread wear.
