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.

Is Clay Wax the right choice?

Not only do we get this question asked a lot (Is Clay Wax the right choice?) but generally speaking we have come to realize that many people simply don't know much about clay wax, its application and its benefits.
Here's breakdown: clay wax which often comes in the form of a clay bar, is often used to remove tiny debris and contaminants that have bonded to the paint or the clear coat. In LA's gruesome hot summers those contaminants can literally get baked into the paint or clear coat. Using clay wax can therefor be a very wise choice prior to regular waxing and polishing.
The claying process shears the contaminants off the clear coat and encapsulates the microscopic "craters" they leave behind 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.
Hopefully this information has helped answer whether clay wax is the right choice and to help you navigate the auto detailing options a little better. For any further or other auto detailing questions don't hesitate to contact Overland Carwash in Los Angeles.

Sealant or Wax?

Which one do I need? Sealant or Wax? Or both? Are they different even? There's a whole lot of confusion and misinformation about sealants, wax, and their difference. In most cases a wax will also seal the paint, but it's not per say the requirement to be classified as a wax. On the other hand, a sealants main purpose per its name is to seal. The confusion arises from the fact that many sealants main ingredient is good ol' wax, whereas the confusion. In short a wax could be a sealant but not all waxes are.
One of the clear distinctions between the two is that a good wax product might last anywhere between 30-60 days depending on conditions. A proper application of a good sealant might last upwards 6 months in ideal conditions. This could easily save you time, money, and headache in that you will need less car waxing done.
Hopefully this brief article on "sealant or wax" provided clear contrast between the two products, if you however need more information or wonder which is best for you, don't hesitate to contact our experts at Overland Carwash.

Auto Detailing Coupons

Car washes are important, in fact more important than many Californians want to believe. There's often a misconception here in SoCal and Los Angeles that since we barely get any rain and our cars "look" clean then car washes are not that important. However, that couldn't be further from the truth as cars pick up a lot of pollutants, dust and grime while exposed to the elements. This is especially evident if you drive a dark car while lighter colors such as white hide it better. The pollutants and grime will slowly chips away at your vehicle’s paint and rendering it ineffective in doing its job and protecting the surface. That is why in states with lots of humidity and or rain it results in rust.
