It’s easy to think your car only needs attention when it looks dirty—but real maintenance detailing is about prevention, not rescue missions.
Road grime, bird droppings, and salt don’t just make your ride ugly; they eat into your clear coat like acid on a bad day. The key is consistency. A quick maintenance wash every 2–3 weeks keeps contaminants from bonding, preserves your ceramic or wax protection, and saves you from costly paint correction later.
Pro Tip from EZ Clean Detailing:
If you’ve got a ceramic coating, use a pH-neutral soap and skip the wax top-ups unless your detailer recommends it. Layering products can dull the hydrophobic effect.
Here’s your action plan for the week:
Rinse the vehicle before touching it—always.
Use two buckets: one for soap, one for rinse water.
Dry with a clean microfiber towel (or let EZ Clean handle it while you relax).
Stay consistent, stay protected, and your car will thank you every time it glides through a rainstorm spotless.
