# Advice for summer auto detailing
!When summer auto detailing, it is important to remember to always consider the season that the vehicle will be exposed to in order to ensure maximum protection from the unique problems that can arise in specific seasons.
Prepare your vehicles for the warm temperatures and the sun’s damaging UV rays. This means your paint should have a fresh coat of wax to prevent the sun from fading your paint, especially red cars, as this color is the most prone to oxidation. Having a fresh coat of wax also facilitates easier removal of bugs and tar from the front end of your vehicle. We also like to focus on applying a wax or paint sealant to all exterior windows to make driving in the rain much safer and easier. At highway speeds you shouldn’t have to use windshield wipers because the rain will bead and fly off the windshield in a very dramatic fashion. When summer auto detailing your car’s interior, materials should be dressed with a product that includes UV inhibitors to prevent the sun from prematurely fading and cracking the surfaces. As the temperatures increase, your brakes pads will produce more brake dust, which means your wheels should be waxed as well to ensure no brake dust etches into the wheel’s surface.

# Summertime Car Care Advice
!By now the you’ve felt the Summer begin to set in, and soon that stubborn New England sun will put your car to the test. Summer can be as harsh on your car as the winter, so we’ve put together our best summertime car care advice for your car. Before you truck your family through 90-degree heat for a summer break at the beach, make sure you do a few things for your car.
## Express Oil Change
Replenish the oil in your car and, if possible, upgrade to synthetic oil if the make and model of your car allows for it. (ALWAYS consult the owner’s manual). We’ve prepared for your beach breaks, and there is plenty of oil in stock! Check out our oil change menu – we offer a deal where you get a free car wash with every oil change, so you may as well take us up on the offer.
## Auto Detail
Recharge your car’s appearance now, before the summer heat really sets in, by getting your car shining Auto Bright at our auto detailing center. Heat always amplifies odor, so that Dunkin Donuts bag your threw under your car seat a week ago or the old gym shoes you left in the trunk will kick their scents into high gear under the New England sun. Worst part? Those odors linger far longer afterward than you’d ever imagined, so it’s best to come down now. Check out our auto detail page for our special packages and call us with questions about anything.
## Car Wash
Just like odors set in the warmer months, so, too, do the droppings from above. You’ve noticed that the birds are back, and sometimes it seems like they all got together for a meeting on your car. Get those stains out as quickly as you can, as they can be corrosive to your car’s shiny finish, which will reduce the value of your car. Pair your car wash with an oil change and get your car wash on us.
So stop down to Auto Bright for your Summer, and get your car clean, gassed up and good on oil.
# How often should you wash your car?
!Massachusetts offers particularly harsh conditions for cars and trucks – everything from ocean salt mixing with the wind and blowing inland to salty, post-snowstorm roads to this thick sheets of pollen that encrust your car in the early-to- mid spring, as well as the searing heat in the summer time. All of it can be very damaging to your car’s paint job, as well as its performance.
## So how often should you wash your car?
Some experts think you should wash your car once a week to maintain and protect it from the elements, but we here at Auto Bright would amend that statement. It’s during these months mentioned above where you should get your car washed once a week or, as many of our customers do,come in right after one of those events like a heavy snowstorm or a heavy pollen coating. During the summer months you can probably feel comfortable going a bit longer between washes — maybe two weeks or maybe you only come see us after a pigeon has come to see your car.
You should know, though, that salt is one of the biggest enemies to your car and that even if you don’t see it on the surface, it could be on your undercarriage, in your wheel wells and other important parts of your car. This is important to remove because salt residue reacts with the metal in your vehicle and causes rust. Our all-cloth automatic car wash is designed to remove the salt from your car for this reason, but whether you decide to use one of our self-serve car wash bays, or if you decide to get your hose out and wash your car in your driveway, remember to clean the underside of your car thoroughly to prolong its life, it’s resale value and it’s shine.
If your car could talk, it would thank you.
