Hi guys, detailing/cleaning newbie here. I have my car booked in for a winter detail this week, but the weather seems to be absolutely horrendous. I was just wondering what peoples opinions were; if it would be a total waste of money to have the car detailed to then go and straight away drive it through a rain storm, or, at this time of year would not doing it when its torrential rain just be postponing the inevitable when the rain begins. cheers. |

It depends what you are having done? I tend to detail properly in the spring so it's ready for the season and top up as required through the summer. Is your car a daily driver? |

As Sean says, it depends what you want. I would probably wait until spring for paint correction, removing swirl marks etc. For now, a thorough clean including clay bar, followed by decent coating of wax and products for the trim, will help protect it from the nasty weather. |

Cheers for the replies guys. Yeah its a daily driver, and its an over all polish and wax job, no paint correction. The car is in a pretty unhealthy state at the minute because the neighbours 2 doors down a few weeks ago were having some stone work done, covering not only the car but the whole house in an inch thick layer of crap. I was too scared to clean the car myself for fear of leaving scratches all up and down it so I thought it would be best to have it professionally done. The detailer gave me 15% discount in exchange for a review on here. So I will be putting that up once the job is done tomorrow. |
