MYTH 18: I don’t have to clean my car after going to the beach.

Living in paradise is great when you have so many beaches to relax at but it’s not all paradise for your vehicle. What can be a good place to recover at can become a nightmare for a car.

We all know that the average person spends at least a few hours at the beach. In that few hours, your car is being exposed to sea spray which contains salt water and that can travel a lot further than you think. Too much exposure to salt can buildup on your vehicle’s paint and eat away at it over time causing it to fade and eventually rust.

So how do we prevent this from happening? After a trip to the beach, it is imperative to at least give the vehicle a quick wipe down with a quick detail spray or if time permits, a thorough wash followed up with protecting the paint. A spray wax or sealant would be good enough.

As far as the interior goes, many of us who use sunscreen already know what happens when we sit in the car and get white stains all over the black vinyl and leather surfaces. If those stains are left untreated, they can be very difficult and costly to remove.

And last but not least, every detailer‘s worst nightmare - SAND. One of the most time consuming things to extract from a vehicle. The best time to vacuum sand is as soon as possible. The longer it sits, the more likely it is to get worked into the fibers of the carpet. Making it harder to clean up.

So please give your car a bath after a day at the beach! If you need us to do it for you, we can treat you vehicle as if it just had a nice relaxing day at the beach!
