Canadian Seasonal Guidance
Winter Protocol
Winter in Canada introduces road salt, magnesium chloride, and abrasive sand. The priority is corrosion prevention.
- Frequent touchless undercarriage flushing.
- Use of all-weather rubber mats to protect carpet fibers from salt crusting.
- Applying robust polymer sealants in late autumn to create a sacrificial barrier.
Spring Recovery
Spring is the time to assess winter damage, remove bonded iron, and reset the vehicle's protection.
- Intensive chemical decontamination to dissolve embedded brake dust and plow rust.
- Deep extraction of floor mats to remove solidified salt stains.
- Thorough engine bay cleaning to remove accumulated grit.
Summer Defence
High UV index and increased organic contamination pose the greatest threat to clear coats during summer.
- Prompt removal of acidic bug splatter and bird droppings before they etch into the paint.
- Application of UV inhibitors to interior dashboard plastics.
- Regular light washing to remove dust and pollen layers.
Autumn Preparation
Preparing the vehicle for the harsh months ahead while dealing with falling debris.
- Clearing drainage channels of leaves and pine needles to prevent water pooling.
- Inspecting wiper blade condition and applying glass sealants for improved winter visibility.
- Upgrading to heavy-duty protective waxes or entry-level ceramics.
