Keeping Your Car Clean During Fall in Orange County
As a car owner in Orange County, auto detailing may seem a little futile during the fall season. We have possible ash from fires, falling leaves, and the Santa Ana winds to help blow all of it around. Dust and debris will fall all over your car and even get into your car as you enter and exit your vehicle.
So what’s the point? Why would you decide to even bother keeping your car clean during the fall and winter months with any Orange County mobile auto detailing services?
IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT LOOKS YOU KNOW
Of course we always want our car to look great as we cruise and commute through Orange County. But believe it or not that’s not the only reason you should consider keeping your car clean this fall.
- Care about gas prices and better mileage? Of course you do! Did you know that a clean car offers better wind resistance? That means better gas mileage.
- What about the environment? We know you can just give your car a quick wash at home, but did you know that uses more water than if you get a professional auto detailing service?
- Think the rain will just wash your car? This is definitely a myth. Most rain is actually acidic and the left over water spots are the chemicals within the rain left to cause erosion, staining, and even rust.
- Safety first! Remember, when you get your car professionally detailed, your headlights and mirrors will be detailed and treated. Why allow your car to stay dusty and dirty decreasing your visibility while driving? Keep your headlights bright and mirrors clear to be sure you are safe on the road.
Of course between auto detailing services, we recommend that you keep your car covered if possible. Also remember to do minor cleaning maintenance like a quick window wipe down inside and out for dust and fingerprints with ammonia free auto glass cleaner (regular class cleaners can damage factory or upgraded tint on the glass). A car duster can be useful as well, especially when it comes to keeping your car clean around Orange County with the erratic weather during the fall season!
FALL ACTIVITIES CAN WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR CAR
We know that fall offers a host of fun activities. For example, you may be driving your kids to and from sports practices, regardless of wind, rain, or other weather conditions. This can definitely take its toll on your car; inside and out.
Be sure to keep some items on hand in your car to avoid getting it too filthy between exterior and interior auto detailing services in Orange County.
- Baby Wipes, paper and cloth towels. Keep your car interior clean by making everyone wipe off those muddy knees and elbows before they get in.
- Reuse your plastic bags from shopping by keeping them in your car to handle dirty items. Those muddy cleats don’t need to touch your custom floor mats!
- Caught in a downpour? Keep some extra jackets, socks, blankets in your car to avoid getting the interior all wet.
- Keep mess-friendly snacks on hand. You or the kiddos may get hungry on a drive and the last thing you want is to stop for messy or sticky food on the run. Keep some easy to contain and clean snacks on hand to keep your interior clean. This tip is good year-round!
