MARYSVILLE, WA — Spring is a prime season for detailing, according a story in The Daily Herald.
The April 28 story said bird droppings, bugs, pollen, flower petals and sticky tree substances can all damage a vehicle’s paint finish and owners should have them waxed, washed and vacuumed.
The newspaper said that the ideal time to have a car waxed is when the water stops beading up on the hood. Mike McCalmon, manager at Karmichael Auto Salon in Mukilteo, WA, said in the story, “If there’s no wax protection on there, it’s going to start eating through the clear coat and the actual paint of your car. The No. 1 thing you can do is keep a good wax on it.”
Wayne Rickard, owner of Wayne’s Auto Detailing of Marysville, told readers that a car should be waxed every six months, at least.
The article also said that bird droppings and flower petals should be washed off immediately or they will eat through the paint.
As for vacuuming, McCalmos said in the story, “We see the worst of the worst. We can spend, literally, an entire day just vacuuming a car. If you want to hold the value of your car, you’ve got to maintain that stuff and not let it build up so much.”
