How long between car waxing

Many ask themselves how long they should wait between car waxing sessions. The truth is that there is no one answer that fits all. It depends on many factors such as climate, rainfall, heat and sun intensity, covered garage or open parking, prior level of care, and much more.

The good news is that if you're not sure you can bring your car or truck to Overland Carwash where we can take a look and provide some on the spot feedback. Generally speaking though, if you haven't applied a protective layer to your car in months, it's safe to say that it's about time.

Does ash damage car paint?

Does ash damage car paint? That is definitely a valid question here in SoCal where we face widespread wild fires. Most of us have had ash cover our cars at some point and those of us living in the hills have probably experienced it more than others. While some experts argue that ash that is completely dry will not harm the cars paint job, most also agree that cleaning the car as soon as possible is very important. That is because if the ash becomes moist due to rain, fog, or higher air humidity, the chemical structure of ash can change and become corrosive. This corrosive composition can become detrimental to the cars paint and cause irreversible damage. 

Therefor, if wild fires are raging in your area, make sure your car isn't exposed to ash for too long.

Why the Clay Bar?

This questions comes up on a regular basis as many of our customers ask "Why the Clay Bar?". The clay bar or clay wax is used to remove contaminants that are bonded or rather that have been baked into the paint or clear coat. This is a highly recommended step and procedure to opt for prior to regular waxing and polishing. These are contaminants usually don't come off in a regular car wash. The claying process shears the contaminants off the clear coat and encapsulates the aftermath to avoid any damage to the clear coat. The resulting finish by itself is an improvement but it is also a more ideal surface to further wax and polish.
