The Detail Devil

When's the last time you saw yourself in the reflection of your car's paint? If you live in Boulder and it's winter time, chances are that it has been a while. Winter brings with it a whole host of problems for those cars left to the weather, such as road grime build up, salt deposit, and just a lack of wanting to wash your own car when it is so cold outside.

Do you remember when you first popped the hood on your vehicle and the engine bay looked immaculate and the black trim had a deep dark finish? Most engine bays don't stay in this condition for long, and are often cluttered with leaves, twigs, and other debris from being parked under a tree.

You might be looking to sell the vehicle and want to pass on that first experience you had when popping the hood, or maybe your car is being entered in a car show.Whatever the reason, it's important to have your engine bay cleaned, because it shows that the car is well maintained. Let's be honest, if you looked at the engine of a brand new car and saw it was covered in dust and leaves, you'd probably close the hood and move onto another vehicle.

Out here in Boulder, Colorado, we are about a mile closer to the sun than at sea level. That means that your vehicle is a mile closer to taking a beating from the rays of the sun.

Not only is the sun damaging your headlights, but also the weather that we experience in and around Boulder, the salt and chemicals they use to treat the roads during the winter, and don't get me started on how bad automatic car washes are on your vehicle, let alone your headlights.Not only are faded and yellowed headlights unpleasant to look at, they can also be dangerous to drive with.
