Southern California is famous for its beautiful weather, but it presents a unique and hostile environment for automotive paint. Between the relentless UV rays, massive amounts of highway dust, and corrosive industrial smog, leaving your car unwashed in LA is a recipe for premature clear coat failure (peeling paint).
For a daily driver parked outside in the San Fernando Valley, the golden rule of auto detailing is to wash the vehicle every two weeks. Waiting longer than a month allows corrosive contaminants (like bird droppings and tree sap) to etch into the paint permanently.
It's tempting to run your car through a $10 automatic tunnel wash every week. However, those massive spinning brushes are essentially slapping your car with the dirt and rocks from the hundreds of cars that went before you. This inflicts thousands of micro-scratches (swirl marks) into your clear coat, leaving your paint looking dull and spiderwebbed in the sun.
The safest way to maintain a vehicle is a professional two-bucket hand wash using pH-neutral soaps and clean, plush microfiber towels. At Mission Mobile Detailing, we make this effortless for our clients in Mission Hills, Granada Hills, and beyond.
We arrive at your home or office with our own spot-free water and power. You don't have to wait in line at a car wash on your Saturday off. Just toss us the keys.
