Winter Protocols
The harshest season for UK motorists. Our winter focus revolves around:
- Road Salt: Rapid removal to prevent galvanic corrosion.
- Motorway Grime: Heavy traffic film requires stronger citrus pre-washes.
- Rain: Glass sealants can help improve visibility during heavy downpours.
Spring Protocols
Transitioning away from winter requires deep cleaning and addressing new environmental factors:
- Pollen: Highly abrasive micro-particles that require careful pre-washing.
- Tree Residue: Sticky sap that can etch clearcoat if left untreated.
Summer Protocols
Higher temperatures change how chemicals react on the paintwork:
- Dust: Light accumulation that still requires a safe liquid wash, avoiding dry wiping.
- Holiday Travel: Increased bug splatter which contains acidic compounds.
- UV Exposure: Ensuring interior plastics and exterior clearcoats are dressed/sealed against fading.
Autumn Protocols
Preparation for the impending winter months:
- Leaves: Wet leaves contain tannins that can stain light-coloured paintwork.
- Heavy Rain: Assessing the current status of protective layers.
- Organic Contamination: Increased mold/moss risks in window seals.
