Hello Kansas City and welcome back to the Bespoke Automotive Refinement Podcast, your number one Kansas City Car Detailing podcast. We’re so glad that you are with us tonight to talk about cars. Yes.
There’s nothing more that we like doing than talking about cars and talking about our dogs. Those are really the two biggest forms of conversation. On a Saturday night or on a Friday night.
This is what we like to do. This is what we do. Yeah, we grow businesses, we make pizza, we watch movies, and we talk about cars.
It’s true. Pretty good life. So as we’re entering the summer season, let’s talk about ways that people can protect and preserve their car and just maintain its cleanliness in the summer.
Now during the wintertime, you want to be careful of the salt and the ice and things like that on the roads. But in the summertime, there’s still some other things to kind of be aware of. Make sure that your car stays in tip-top shape.
As somebody gets into spring, summer, what are some good maintenance things to be aware of? I know for one, you’re working on Ferraris. Oftentimes, you said the buttons get really sticky from the heat. So they need to kind of keep those well maintained.
What are some other ways that somebody can take care of their vehicle in the summer? You know, a big one is making sure that your vehicle’s always got some sort of protectant on the outside. During the summertime, it’s getting hot. Your paint gets hot.
You know, you think about it. If you’ve got the sun beating down on your paint and your paint gets hot, it has no protectant on it. That’s what begins to oxidize it.
And oxidation is essentially burned paint. So, you know, that’s something that can cause a lot of damage. It can get very expensive very quickly.
Another thing is making sure that your dash has some sort of protectant on it at all times. You know, the sun beating down on your dash can cause the finish to peel up and fade. So those are two things that I’m always very aware of with my own vehicles.
What about if somebody’s traveling and something you experience in the summer that you don’t in the wintertime is all the bugs. What can somebody do to preserve their car from the bugs? Also, like during April and May, there’s a lot of rain. So is there anything they can do to kind of keep those rain spots off their car? Those two things can both be solved with a ceramic coating.
So ceramic coating is going to protect it from any chemical etchings from bug guts. And then the ceramic coating is also going to allow the water to completely run off. You’ll still have a vehicle that needs to be washed periodically if it’s driven in the rain, but it’s going to make it easier to keep clean and it’s going to keep a majority of those rain spots from sticking to the paint.
Oftentimes too during the summer there’s a lot more car shows, car meets, things like that. What is something that people can do to get their cars ready whether they’re just arriving at one, but also maybe if they’re wanting to show off their car, what is maybe a detailing package or service that you can do to preserve their vehicle? We offer a maintenance cleaning and that maintenance cleaning is a hand wash. We detail the wheels and tires.
We vacuum the carpet and then we wipe down all of the exterior trim just to knock any dust off, make it look presentable again. So our maintenance detail package is a great option to keep your car clean and ready for car show season instead of having to do it yourself on Friday night. You know you’re trying to get your car ready all Friday night to be up at 6: 30 to go to Cars and Coffee on Saturday morning.
So having us come out and do that job for you is going to save you time in the evenings to enjoy with your families. Oftentimes when people are on summer breaks with their kids they go on a lot of road trips. What are some tips and tricks to prepare their car for a road trip without scratching it? Making sure that maybe they get back from a trip and getting their car back to tip-top shape.
You know a big thing to prevent your car from getting scratches is not allowing your children to lean on the car or touch it. I’m not allowed to touch our car often. You’re not, no.
Don’t lay things on the hood. Don’t let kids with backpacks lean up against your car. It’s so hard on the paint.
Then as far as making sure that we can get it reset after you get done with a long road trip during the summer. Really any of our maintenance detailing packages to our full gold package detail if they get a spill in it and it gets stains in it and if the paint gets scratched that gold package takes care of both interior and exterior if something happens on a road trip. As people are leaning maybe towards like I don’t want to get a full detail or something like that they might DIY some things but if you have a super car what are some mistakes that you’ve seen people make with their cars in general? They’re like oh I’ll do this myself.
Like I know there’s one guy that did try to do his own paint correction. Oh yeah. Did it in the sun and ruined the car.
Yeah. Are there things that people try to do themselves and you’re like oh like this is ruined, this is destroyed or you kind of like fix their work? The big ones for me are when someone tries to do their own version of touch-up paint or when someone attempts to do a paint correction. Maybe they’re trying to do it by hand.
Maybe they bought a machine and they’re trying to paint and correct it and they don’t understand the right methods and tricks. Those are big things. Another thing too is people using bad leather conditioner and just absolutely dry rotting their seats thinking they’re doing a good thing by using leather conditioner but it’s aged.
Oh no. Conditioning it ruins the leather. And that is something at Bespoke Automotive Refinement, the number one Kansas City car detailing business, that you could make sure their car is well maintained.
It’s ready to go at the drop of a hat. Absolutely. And you know in all of our Kansas City car detailing services we were trained and we’re very professional in this field that we know and we see a vehicle exactly what it’s going to need.
We’re not going to sell you a full gold package detail if it doesn’t need to be vacuumed or if it doesn’t need to be shampooed or polished. Yeah it’s true. You have a really good heart and you want to make sure somebody is getting the kind of job that they want.
You’re not trying to push them to do something that they don’t want. Correct. All right so last questions as we’re entering Father’s Day.
We just had Mother’s Day. There’s also the Fourth of July. There’s a lot of holidays coming up.
Things like that. What can somebody do if they’re like I have my father who loves cars. I want to give him his car to be cleaned.
