Winter’s Coming — Is Your Car Ready?
As temperatures drop, your vehicle faces a new set of challenges — road salt, freezing temperatures, snow, and grime that can quickly wear down your paint and interior. At Irish Detailing, we specialize in protecting vehicles from Indiana’s harsh winter conditions with expert mobile detailing services that come straight to your driveway.
Here’s how to get your car winter-ready and keep it looking great all season long.
1. Protect Your Paint from Salt and Slush
Road salt is your car’s worst enemy in winter. It helps keep roads safe, but it also eats away at your paint, causes rust, and dulls your car’s finish.
✅ Tip: Apply a ceramic coating or high-quality wax before winter hits. This adds a protective barrier between your paint and the elements, helping dirt, salt, and moisture slide right off.
At Irish Detailing, we offer paint protection services designed specifically for winter durability.
2. Deep Clean Your Interior Before It Gets Cold
Once it’s freezing outside, most people avoid cleaning their interiors — meaning spills, salt stains, and mud can sit for months.
✅ Tip: Schedule a full interior detail before the cold sets in. We deep clean carpets, remove salt buildup, condition leather, and sanitize every surface so your interior stays fresh all winter long.
A clean cabin also helps prevent foggy windows and that musty “winter car” smell.
3. Replace or Protect Floor Mats
Your carpets take a beating in winter from snow, water, and mud.
✅ Tip: Swap in rubber floor mats or have us apply a fabric protector during your next detail. It creates a barrier that repels stains and makes cleanup much easier later on.
4. Keep Your Glass and Lights Crystal Clear
Snow glare and foggy windows are safety hazards in winter.
✅ Tip: Apply a glass sealant to your windshield and windows — it helps water and ice slide off faster and improves visibility.
We also clean and restore headlights to make sure your nighttime driving is bright and safe.
5. Top Off Fluids and Check Your Battery
While detailing focuses on appearance, general maintenance matters too.
✅ Tip: Check antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, and your battery health before the first freeze. It’s simple, but it can prevent a breakdown when you least expect it.
