Luckily, Simoniz’s range of premium car care products is ready for anything season to season, so we’ve collated these guides to get you through the year’s changing weather from spring to winter and everything in between.
The Benefits of Spring Cleaning Your Car
As the saying goes “out with the old, in with the new”. Spring is a time for fresh starts – for clearing out the rubbish and throwing away what you don’t need. The same should go for your car. After a winter that will have invariably seen your car on the receiving end of cold temperatures, heavy rain and salt and grit on the road a good spring clean is an essential part of car maintenance.
From gearing up for the summer to improving your own well-being, freshen up your motor with this practical guide to preparing for the year ahead.
Summer Dirt: Spot the Worst Offenders
When the sun’s shining there’s nothing quite like a summer-time drive, but with high temperatures and muggy air, not to mention bugs and bird droppings, your car can end up coated. And while all those stains look unsightly, they can actually cause damage to your car’s exterior too.
We’ve rounded up the usual summer suspects, and matched them with the best of Simoniz’s car cleaning range to guarantee clearer vision and shinier exteriors. We also share the perfect time to clean your car in the summer months.

We’ve compiled some essential bits of advice to help you put the brakes on those winter blues, from avoiding rust build-ups to getting rid of sun dazzle on your windscreen.
