Why an autumn coating is smart before winter

Autumn is the perfect time to prepare your car for the cold, wet months. Rain, mud, falling leaves, and later, road salt can cause significant damage to the paint. With an autumn coating , such as a ceramic spray coating , you can optimally protect your car and ensure a deep shine that will last through the winter months.

Challenges for car paint in autumn and winter

• Rain and moisture: Water can trap dirt and acids that penetrate the paint.
• Mud and leaves: Organic material causes stains and can damage paint.
• Cold temperatures make washing more difficult, dirt sticks more quickly.
• Winter brine causes corrosion and dull spots if the paint is not protected.

What is an autumn coating?

A fall coating is a protective layer applied in the fall to prepare your car's paint for winter. This can range from a wax to a ceramic coating . Ceramic sprays are particularly popular because they are easy to apply yet offer long-lasting protection.

Benefits of a ceramic coating in the fall

• Hydrophobic effect: rain and dirt bead directly off the paint (water beading).
• Less maintenance: your car stays clean longer, washing is faster.
• Protection against leaves and mud: dirt has less chance of adhering to the smooth layer.
• Prepared for brine: prevents salt from biting into the paint during the winter.
• Deep shine: your car looks like new, even on dark autumn and winter days.
