Your vehicle faces very different challenges as the seasons shift in Minnesota. From icy roads and salt buildup in the winter to UV rays and dust in the summer, every season brings its own set of threats to your car’s appearance and integrity. That’s why seasonal auto detailing service isn’t just a luxury—it’s smart maintenance.
At LS Detailing Service, we understand the demands of Minnesota weather, and we’ve designed our detailing packages to help your vehicle perform—and look—its best all year long. Whether you’re gearing up for winter or getting road-trip ready for summer, here’s what you need to know.
Why Seasonal Detailing Matters
Minnesota drivers know the extremes: freezing temperatures, muddy springs, humid summers, and gritty falls. These conditions lead to:
- Paint deterioration
- Salt corrosion
- Hard-to-remove bugs and tar
- UV fading
- Clogged undercarriages
- Interior wear from moisture and debris
Routine detailing throughout the year ensures your car remains protected, clean, and comfortable—no matter the season.
