Fall Car Care Tips

Fall Car Care Tips
As the leaves start to change and temperatures begin to drop across New England, fall is the perfect time to give your car some extra attention. Between falling leaves, tree sap, rain, mud, and leftover summer grime, your vehicle can pick up plenty of buildup before winter even arrives. A little fall maintenance can go a long way toward keeping your car looking its best and helping protect it from the harsher conditions ahead.

1. Wash Away Fall Buildup
Falling leaves may look harmless, but they can leave behind more than just a mess. Leaves, dirt, and other debris can collect on your vehicle and around areas like the windshield, hood, trunk, and door seams. Buildup in these hard-to-reach areas can become more difficult to remove if it is left sitting on your vehicle. Regular washes can help keep dirt and debris from accumulating throughout the season. At Prestige, our wash options include features designed to clean beyond just the outside of your car, including wheel and underbody cleaning.

2. Don’t Let Rain and Mud Take Over
Fall brings plenty of rainy days, which means wet roads, mud, and grime can quickly find their way onto your vehicle. While rain may rinse away some surface dirt, it doesn’t actually clean your car. Rainwater can mix with road grime and leave behind a dirty film once it dries. Modern vehicles also rely on various sensors to assist with braking, navigation, parking, and other features. Fall weather and road debris can cover these sensors with dirt and grime, so keeping your vehicle clean can help prevent buildup in and around these areas. A wash at Prestige can help remove this buildup and keep your vehicle looking clean and ready for the road.

3. Give Your Interior a Fall Refresh
Fall weather can also make a mess inside your vehicle. Wet shoes, muddy leaves, and everyday debris can quickly make your carpets and floor mats look less than fresh. Take advantage of the free vacuums at participating Prestige locations to clean out dirt, leaves, and debris before they have a chance to build up. A quick interior cleanup now can make your car much more comfortable throughout the colder months ahead.

Making Fall Car Care Part of Your Routine
Between changing leaves, rainy weather, muddy roads, and the start of colder temperatures, fall can be a messy season for your car. But keeping up with regular washes can help you stay ahead of the buildup and get your vehicle ready for winter. At Prestige Car Wash, our VIP Members can wash up to once a day, making it easy to keep your car clean throughout the changing seasons.
