Winter Protection Detail

Winter Protection Detail | from £275 | 1 day

The cold weather is on its way which will mean our vehicles are going to be subjected to much harsher weather conditions including the exposure to salt and grit, which over time, would inevitably begin degrading the aesthetic appearance of your vehicle, but only if it isn’t protected.

By having your vehicle deep cleaned and protected in preparation for the winter months, will provide it with much needed protection, to ensure that your vehicle stays easy to clean, whilst also being protected against the elements.

A Winter Protection Detail can be carried out on your driveway, or at your place of work. I do have a large gazebo for the mobile work and I would bring this with me if the weather is looking dodgy.

The Washing Process

Wheels cleaned inside-out including the brake callipers using a variety of soft brushes and a safe wheel cleaner.
Wheels fully decontaminated to remove iron fallout and tar deposits.
Arches cleaned and exhaust tips cleaned.
Door shuts and sills pre-rinsed and cleaned using a soft detailing brush and APC.
Bodywork extensively washed using snow foam, the two-bucket method, prep shampoo and a Gtechniq wash mitt.
A soft detailing brush and APC is used to clean the grilles, badges, filler cap area and window sills etc.

Bodywork Decontamination

Two-stage decontamination process to remove iron fallout/ferrous contaminants and tar deposits from all areas of paintwork.
Snow foam wash to ensure decontamination chemical remnants are fully removed.
Paintwork, windows and lights are clay barred to remove all final surface contamination.
Vehicle dried using soft microfibre drying towels.
Gaps and crevices blown dry to remove trapped water and to eliminate any drips.

Polishing

Auto finesse rejuvenate (pre-wax cleanser) is worked over every inch of paintwork by hand using a Scholl concepts polishing puck. This polish enhances the level of gloss, further cleans the paintwork and provides the ideal surface for carnauba wax application.

Carnauba Wax

Swissvax Shield is a luxury grade carnauba wax enriched with none stick PTFE in order to create an ingenious protection shield for your paintwork. Thanks to the proverbial ‘teflon-pan-effect’ dirt and insects barely can't adhere at all to the as smooth as glass paintwork surface. Keeping the daily driver protected for up to 6 months. (The perfect wax for winter, or the daily driver in general.)
