A new year isn’t just about personal goals; it’s also the perfect time to give your car a clean slate.
How To Protect Your Pride And Job During Storage Season
For many automotive enthusiasts, winter isn’t just a season - it’s hibernation time for their pride and joy. Whether it’s a classic Porsche 911, a Lamborghini Huracán, a meticulously restored BMW E30, or a modern-day performance machine like an Audi RS6, the colder months can be disastrous if the vehicle isn’t protected correctly before storage. We’re talking about moisture damage, micro-scratches, contaminants settling into the paintwork, and even rust developing on wheels and brake components. Your vehicle may be safely parked in a garage, but without proper protection, the finish can still deteriorate over time.

If you’ve ever looked at your car in the sunlight and noticed a spiderweb of swirl marks, you might have thought: “I’ll just give it a polish.” And while a quick polish might make your car look shinier for a week or two, it’s not the same as paint correction.
