The "new car feeling" shouldn't fade after 6 months. With the right protection strategy, your vehicle can look better than new for 5-10 years.
In Calgary, keeping a car looking new is a fight against the elements: gravel, winter salt, and intense UV rays. Here is your battle plan.
Why Do Cars Lose Their Shine in Calgary?
UV Oxidation
Ultraviolet rays break down the clear coat, making it look chalky and dull over time.
Micro-Scratches (Swirls)
Improper washing creates millions of tiny scratches that scatter light, robbing your paint of its depth and reflection.
Your Calgary Seasonal Maintenance Schedule
A proactive schedule is the secret to longevity. It's cheaper to maintain than to repair.
Deep Decontamination Wash
Remove winter salt, iron fallout, and traffic film that clogged your ceramic coating.
UV Protection Check
Ensure interior leather is conditioned and exterior has a fresh layer of ceramic top-coat (or sealant).
Winter Prep & Inspection
Check PPF edges for lifting before ice buildup occurs. Apply windshield coating for visibility.
Washing 101: Stop Scratching Your Car
90% of paint defects are installed by the owner during washing. Stop using the neighborhood coin wash brush!
