The official start of spring is just a few weeks away, but North Texas is already warming. That means it’s time to prepare your vehicle for a few specific seasonal concerns. From pollen accumulation to hail damage, spring is a prime time to protect your vehicle. A professional car wash is an essential step to protecting your paint job and prolonging the life of your car.
Weather Shift and Seasonal Impact
It’s easy to neglect cleaning your vehicle during fall and winter months. Shorter days mean less attention to your vehicle because you simply don’t notice the dirt build-up and may not have time to tackle it. The transition from winter to spring can affect a vehicle’s exterior with dirt buildup from winter storms. Now is the time to get back into the routine of washing your car if you have been neglecting your weekly wash.
Pollen Season
March marks the beginning of pollen season in North Texas. Oak pollen in particular leave a sticky, yellow residue on cars, making regular washes essential to prevent it from damaging the paint. Those tiny pollen grains actually damage your paint job if left in place. Additionally, you must take care when removing them to avoid scratching your car. If necessary, use a leaf blower to blow the majority of the pollen catkins off your car before you run it through the tunnel.
Spring Cleaning for Your Health
Spring cleaning is not just for your home. In addition to cleaning your vehicle’s exterior each week to protect the paint job, use the longer days to visit our vacuum stations. Thoroughly vacuuming your interior and wiping down all surfaces will help your vehicle be more comfortable to drive and healthier too. Spring allergy season in North Texas is no joke! By cleaning your interior, you’ll breathe easier and feel more calm on those morning drives to work.
Prepping for Road Trips
Thinking about Spring Break? Don’t forget to visit Snap Clean before you hit the road and upon your return. It’s not fun to road trip in a funky, dirty car, and it’s depressing to come back from vacation and drive around in a dirty vehicle wishing you were still at the beach. Give yourself the mental health boost of a clean car on the road and when you return.

Spring brings pollen, dirt, and road trips—making car care essential. Regular washes protect your paint, improve air quality, and keep your ride road-trip ready.
