WINTER is undoubtedly on its way and even if you’re not ready to embrace the harsh weather that winter brings, you need to make sure that your car is well equipped for the months ahead.

Whether this entails preparing your family car or getting your entire fleet ready for the harsh weather conditions, this post written by specialist vehicle cleaners, Vardens Ltd, will equip you with the knowledge you need to prepare and maintain your vehicle throughout the winter months.

Protecting Paintwork

If you want to keep your car looking at its best throughout the cold and wet weather, wax is an essential ingredient.

Road salt may be brilliant at de-icing the roads but it can also de-paint your car! Salt and winter weather builds up on the body of your car, leaving the paintwork looking dull and also making it more susceptible to rust and oxidation, accelerating the metal corrosion process.

When it comes to choosing the best wax for your car, there are a plethora of options available, if you’re looking to wax your car once, pre-winter weather, choose long life paste waxes and long life liquid nanotechnology sealants.

If you’re planning on waxing your car throughout the winter months then wax is best avoided as it’s very difficult to apply cleanly in damp weather.

A better option would be a spray acrylic sealant which can be used even in freezing temperatures.
