Shine instead of dullness – How to free your car from road salt & winter residues
Winter leaves its mark: dirty roads, aggressive road salt and stubborn residues take their toll on your car. The paint looks dull, the wheels appear faded, and even the once flawless shine seems to have disappeared. But no need to worry – with the right care, your vehicle will soon be shining in full brilliance again.
Why is a thorough cleaning after winter so important?
Road salt is your car’s enemy. It clings stubbornly to paintwork, wheels and the underbody – and can lead to long-term corrosion. With the proper cleaning technique and high-quality care products, you can prevent damage and preserve the value of your vehicle.
Step by step: How to clean your car properly
1. Pre-wash – Remove the initial layer of dirt
Before starting the actual car wash, a thorough pre-wash is essential. A pressure washer and a pH-neutral pre-cleaner from Swissvax effectively loosen coarse dirt and salt residues.
2. Hand wash – Gentle yet thorough
Now it is time for the manual wash. Use a high-quality car shampoo such as Swissvax Car Bath, which cleans the paint without attacking the protective layer. A soft wash sponge ensures that scratches stand no chance.
3. Wheel cleaning – The finishing touch for shining wheels
Wheels are often heavily covered with brake dust and road salt. A specialized wheel cleaner from Swissvax helps dissolve dirt without damaging the surface.
4. Polishing & waxing – The protective shield for your paint
After cleaning comes the refinement: a high-quality polish restores brilliance, while a Swissvax wax sealant provides long-lasting protection. The result? Mirror-smooth paint with deep gloss.
Invest in shine and value retention
Regular, thorough car care pays off – not only visually, but financially as well. With the right products and a little time, you can bring your vehicle back to a high-gloss finish after winter. Give your car the care it deserves.
