If you think winter is the only season that's hard on your car, spring in Kentucky will change your mind quickly. The combination of tree pollen, spring rain, and leftover road salt creates a chemical cocktail that attacks your paint, chrome, and undercarriage simultaneously.
Pollen is the sneaky one. It looks harmless — just yellow dust — but pollen is actually acidic when it gets wet. Spring rain activates the pollen that's settled on your hood and roof, creating a mild acid wash that slowly etches into your clear coat. If you're parking under trees, this is happening every morning.
The undercarriage is where the real winter damage shows up in spring. Salt that accumulated in wheel wells and under the frame all winter starts to accelerate rust once temperatures rise and moisture returns. Our Works Exterior and all full-service packages include an Undercarriage + Rust Inhibitor treatment that flushes out that salt and lays down a protective coating. It's one of the most important services we offer — and one of the most overlooked.
