Your Car's Cold Weather 

Survival Guide

provided by Surf City Garage

Summer has come and gone and now you're prepping your house, your wardrobe, even your

 kitchen for winter temperatures, but have you thought about what the cold can do to your car?

 Well, don't panic yet - Surf City Garage is here to equip you and your ride with a foolproof

cold weather survival guide.  

First things first - your paint. Keeping your car washed, waxed and sealed is the best way to

create and preserve that glossy finish you worked on during the summer months. Start by

washing your car with Barrier Reef® Wash & Wax, follow with Nano Seal™ Protective Coat to

seal all of your paint, even the microscopic pores. Then finish with Barrier Reef® Carnauba

Wax. Its advanced polymers add extra protection and leave your car with a factory shine

bound to impress during the cold, harsh weather. Depending on where you live and how long

your winter is, you'll need 1-2 coats (about every 3 months), but to keep everything looking

great all the time, use Speed Demon™ Wax Detailer every week for just a few minutes.  

That takes care of the outside, but many people don't factor in their car's interior when it

comes to cold-weather care and that can lead to expensive problems down the road. The dry

 air saps the moisture right out of your leather and vinyl, leaving it vulnerable to cracks. The

solution? Voodoo Blend™ Leather Rejuvenator is just what you need to keep your leather and

vinyl supple and smooth. The trick is to make sure you treat your car's interior before the

 temperature drops, as well as throughout the cold months.

Now that we've covered your paint and interior, what's left? Your ride's tires and wheels, which

 endure the worst of winter's elements. Our Enthusiast Grade® tire dressing,

Beyond Black® Tire Pro, protects your tires from cracking, splitting and UV damage - and on

top of that, it gives them a great, straight-off-the-showroom-floor shine.
