Should you detail your car before or after a road trip?


Are you planning on taking a road trip in the near future? As the weather warms up and spring fever starts to take its toll, it’s easy to feel like you need to get out of town for a bit. Sometimes, taking a detour from the day-to-day, monotonous tasks of life can be just what you need to find a little rejuvenation.

If a road trip is calling your name, then you may be thinking it’s time to get your car detailed. But, should you do it before or after vacation? No one enjoys spending hours at a time in a dirty car, but a detailing may seem counter intuitive to do right before heavy use of your vehicle.

 

If you’re struggling with this dilemma, here’s your answer!

Friends on a road trip in a clean car thanks to Premier Auto Detailing and Wash

We suggest getting your car detailed before vacation, then followed up by a quick wash and vacuum after the trip. By doing this, you ensure a clean and comfortable ride for the trip, followed up by a quick refresher after the vacation.

If a road trip is on your radar for the near future, make it one that you won’t forget. Just make sure it’s unforgettable because of the amazing adventures, and not because of a lingering fast food smell in the car ride!

Best of luck, and safe travels!

* There will be an additional charge of $50 for Iron Decontamination. If your vehicle has tar, overspray, or road paint on it, we will provide a custom quote for removal.

* Headliners are extremely delicate. Excessive cleaning and wetting of the headliner can cause it to fail, so excessive soiling may not be able to be removed.

* Removing stains is an intricate service, and while we always try to do everything possible to remove stains, we cannot guarantee full stain removal. In the event a stain cannot be fully removed, we will try to attenuate it as much as possible.

Because we value you and your vehicle as much as you do, we recommend following a maintenance protocol after the initial curing time of your ceramic coatings application.

This maintenance plan will keep your warranty intact and allow you to enjoy a smooth, glass-like finish for years to come.

Why is ceramic coating the most elite paint protection product on the market?

Premier ceramic coating offers nano-ceramic compounds that provide the maximum level of slickness, protection, and durability.

A normal clear coat has hardness between 2H and 4H. However, ceramic coatings have a hardness above 9H. This shield is the hardest paint coating on the market today and prevents minor scratches to your clearcoat and acts as a sacrificial layer.

Think of ceramic coatings as an additional clear coat layer, only a lot harder. All of this allows for more peace of mind and a fuller enjoyment of your vehicle, even in harsh environments.
