4 Tips To Keep Your Car Looking Great During Spring

4 Tips To Keep Your Car Looking Great During Spring

Pollen on car paint

 Springtime is the absolute worst time for car care enthusiasts. The abundance of pollen, unpredictable weather, and the return of migratory birds are just a few of the things we don't really look forward to. It’s near impossible to keep any vehicle clean for more than a day or two. 
But we are here to save the day. If you follow these 4 guidelines, your car will stay looking better than ever despite nature's attempts to sabotage your clean car.

1. Keep It Waxed
Keeping your car waxed or sealed is the number one thing you can do to make your vehicle remain clean for as long as possible. Wax has anti-static and hydrophobic properties that will repel dirt, dust and pollen.

 

 
 
2.    Regularly Dust Your Interior

It’s always recommended to keep a couple of all-purpose microfiber towels and a bottle of mild cleaner, in your vehicle at all times. A bottle of diluted Opti-Coat No Rinse works great for this as it leaves no greasy residue behind and has a very pleasant smell.

 

 
 
3.    Watch Out for Bird Bombs

 Migratory birds are on their way back to St. Louis and will be targeting all vehicles. Bird poop can do a lot of damage to your car’s paint if left to dwell. A bottle of diluted Opti-Coat No Rinse and some paint-safe microfiber towels are a great way to remove contamination from your paint.

 

 
 
4.    Call Your Local Detailer

 If you encounter foreign contamination that you’re uncomfortable removing (tree sap, hard water, etc.) do not be afraid to contact a trusted local car detailer! They will surely know the best action to take good care of your car.

While many businesses offer PPF installs, few bring to the table what truly makes a lasting difference: decades of professional detailing expertise.  At A&G Auto Spa, we’ve spent over 20 years perfecting the art of vehicle detailing—long before PPF became a mainstream service. And that matters. Here's why:

Congratulations! You've just bought your dream car—a shiny, flawless beauty ready for the open road. But the excitement fades quickly the first time you hear the dreaded "ping" of a rock chip hitting your pristine paint. This is where Paint Protection Film (PPF) becomes your new best friend. What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)? PPF is a transparent, durable film applied to the front end of your vehicle, shielding it from common road hazards like rock chips, debris, bugs, and minor scratches. At our shop, our Level 2 PPF package (our most popular) covers your car's most vulnerable areas, including the full hood, bumper, headlights, front fenders, and side mirrors. Why Consider PPF for Your New Car? When deciding whether to invest in PPF, it's crucial to think about the long-term costs of driving without protection. Here's an easy-to-understand breakdown comparing PPF installation versus typical body shop repairs for common rock chip damage: 2024 BMW X7 M60i PPF Level 1 Package: $2395 (one-time investment, lifetime warranty) Typical Body Shop Repair: $5092.84 (actual local estimate) 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS PPF Level 1 Package: $2295 (one-time investment, lifetime warranty) Typical Body Shop Repair: $5414.40 (actual local estimate)
