See Your Price Before You Book

Westmount's vehicle mix runs heavily toward full-size luxury SUVs — BMW X5s, Mercedes GLEs, Range Rovers — alongside longer European sedans and Volvo wagons, all of which require more time, product, and care than a compact vehicle to detail properly. Our pricing reflects the actual size and complexity of your specific vehicle rather than a flat rate that forces small-car owners to subsidize the cost of detailing your GLE.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type — whether you're driving a European sedan, a full-size luxury SUV, or a Volvo wagon, the category determines the base price that reflects the actual work involved.

2. Pick Your Package

No Upsells. No Bait & Switch.

You'll see your exact price before you book anything — no hidden charges waiting at pickup, and no service advisor trying to talk you into extras you didn't ask for. What you select is what you pay, full stop.

Why Westmount Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

Westmount's steep residential streets get salted heavily all winter, leaving a corrosive film on every vehicle that commutes down to Sherbrooke or de Maisonneuve. Add the dense canopy of mature trees lining The Boulevard and Côte-Saint-Antoine Road, and your BMW or Range Rover is up against more than most drivers realize.

Salt Eats Your Paint

Every winter, the City of Montreal saturates Westmount's hilly roads with road salt — and the steep grades on Côte-Saint-Antoine and the upper residential streets mean brine spray coats your undercarriage and rocker panels on every single commute. For BMW X5s, Mercedes GLEs, and Range Rovers parked outdoors, that salt-laden slush clings to wheel wells and lower body panels through freeze-thaw cycles that grind the damage deeper each day. Without regular decontamination washes, the clear coat on even the newest European vehicles begins to etch and dull long before spring arrives.

Tree Sap Never Quits

The mature maples and oaks that make Westmount's streets so beautiful are also relentless sources of sticky sap, dropping onto bonnets and roofs from spring through early fall. Vehicles parked beneath the canopy along The Boulevard or Murray Hill quickly develop amber-coloured spots that harden under the sun and bond directly to clear coat if left untreated. Audi A6s and Volvo wagons with their long, flat roof lines tend to collect the heaviest sap deposits, and DIY removal attempts often cause swirl marks that are worse than the original contamination.

Pollen Season Coats Everything

Each spring, Westmount's dense urban tree cover releases a heavy pollen load that settles across every horizontal surface of your vehicle in a gritty yellow-green film. That fine particulate is mildly acidic and, when wet by morning dew or rain, starts to etch into the clear coat of unprotected paint on Tesla Model 3s and Mercedes C-Class sedans alike. Wiping it off dry — a common mistake — drags abrasive particles across the finish, leaving fine scratches that are clearly visible on darker vehicles under direct sunlight.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in Westmount

Commuting through Westmount means navigating some of Montreal's most punishing conditions for a vehicle's finish — from the salt-soaked inclines of the upper residential grid to the stop-and-go traffic baking brake dust onto your wheels along Sherbrooke Street West. The combination of urban grime, biological contaminants from the tree canopy, and hard Montréal tap water creates a layered assault that shows up fast on the luxury vehicles that define this neighbourhood.

🧂 Road Salt Buildup

Where it shows up: Rocker panels, wheel wells, undercarriage, lower door edges. Westmount's steep streets are among the most heavily salted in the region, and every descent toward Sherbrooke deposits a fresh layer of brine along the lower body of your vehicle. On Range Rovers and BMW X5s, the buildup inside wheel arches can go unnoticed until the salt has already begun compromising the paint and metal beneath.

🌲 Tree Sap Deposits

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, trunk lid, windshield edges. Parking under Westmount's signature tree canopy along The Boulevard or Sunnyside Avenue is nearly unavoidable, and the sap those trees drop hardens quickly in warm weather. Once cured, it cannot be removed without a professional decontamination treatment — scrubbing at it damages the clear coat and leaves dull patches on darker Audi and Volvo finishes.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Entire exterior, windshield, side mirrors, vent intakes. Spring in Westmount brings a sustained pollen assault from the neighbourhood's mature deciduous trees, coating every vehicle left outdoors in a film that looks harmless but carries enough acidity to mark unprotected paint. Tesla Model 3s and other vehicles with large glass roof panels are especially vulnerable, since pollen accumulates in the seal channels and is difficult to fully rinse away.

⚙️ Brake Dust

Where it shows up: Wheel faces, inner barrel, calipers, lower fender. Stop-and-go commuting along Sherbrooke Street West and Boulevard de Maisonneuve — particularly on the downhill approach from Westmount's upper streets — puts repeated load on brakes and generates heavy metallic dust. On the larger rotors fitted to Mercedes GLE and Range Rover models, that iron-rich dust bakes onto alloy wheel surfaces and causes orange-brown staining that becomes increasingly difficult to remove the longer it sits.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Glass, painted roof panels, chrome trim, side windows. Montreal's municipal water leaves behind mineral deposits when it dries on a warm surface, and vehicles rinsed at home or caught in sprinkler overspray develop white calcium rings that etch into glass and clear coat over time. European sedans with large panoramic glass roofs — common on Westmount's Volvos and Teslas — show these spots most clearly and require a dedicated water spot remover to restore optical clarity.

☕ Coffee Stains

Where it shows up: Front seat upholstery, centre console, carpet mats, door card fabric. The morning commute from Westmount into downtown Montreal is short but coffee is a constant companion, and the combination of leather, light-coloured Alcantara, and fabric found in European interiors makes spills both common and unforgiving. BMW and Mercedes interiors with cream or cognac leather show tannin staining quickly, and without prompt professional treatment, the stain sets into the grain and becomes a permanent reminder of one rushed morning.

Westmount Car Detailing Packages

Vehicles in Westmount face a year-round cycle of abuse — road salt through a long winter, then sap and pollen through spring and summer — which means most benefit from more than a basic wash but don't always need a full restoration on every visit. Our packages are structured around that reality, so you can protect what's already in good shape or bring a neglected finish back to the standard Westmount drivers expect.

Interior Basic

Best for: lighter maintenance cleans, commuter cars, and vehicles that need a fresh reset without heavy stains, pet hair, or deep shampooing.

  • Full interior vacuum of seats, carpets, mats, and trunk/cargo area
  • Floor mats removed, cleaned, and reinstalled
  • Dashboard, console, cupholders, door panels, and trim wiped down
  • Interior glass cleaned for better visibility
  • Light dust, crumbs, loose debris, and everyday buildup removed
  • Final walkaround before payment

Why it helps

Regular maintenance cleaning keeps dust, crumbs, light salt, and daily grime from becoming embedded in carpets, seats, and tight interior areas.

Most Popular

Interior Deep Clean

Best for: dirty daily drivers, winter salt residue, family vehicles, food spills, pet hair, stained cloth, and interiors that need more than a surface wipe.

  • Thorough vacuuming of seats, carpets, trunk, floor mats, and tight crevices
  • Compressed-air blowout for cracks, seat rails, vents, and hard-to-reach areas
  • Fabric-safe stain pre-treatment for common spills and traffic marks
  • Agitation of carpets, mats, and cloth upholstery where needed
  • Hot-water extraction or shampooing for fabric surfaces where appropriate
  • Steam cleaning for cupholders, vents, trim, door jambs, and high-touch areas
  • Leather and vinyl surfaces cleaned carefully when applicable
  • Interior glass cleaned streak-free
  • Final inspection with the customer before payment

Why extraction matters

Vehicle carpets trap salt, sand, dust, food particles, and moisture below the surface. Pre-treatment and extraction help lift contamination from the fibers instead of only making the top layer look clean.

Full Detail: Interior + Exterior

Best for: vehicles that need both the interior restored and the exterior cleaned in the same mobile appointment.

  • Everything included in the Interior Deep Clean package
  • Exterior hand wash and careful drying
  • Wheel faces, tires, and accessible rim areas cleaned
  • Tire dressing applied for a clean finished look
  • Exterior glass cleaned
  • Lower-panel road film and surface grime addressed during wash
  • Door jambs and common touch points cleaned where accessible
  • Final exterior wipe-down and customer walkaround

Why wheels need special attention

Brake dust is abrasive and clings to wheels, spokes, and lower panels. Dedicated wheel-safe cleaners and brushes help remove buildup without treating wheels like regular body panels.

Choose your service package online and pick a time that works around your schedule — booking takes under two minutes.

2. We Come To You

3. Detail + Final Walkaround

Once the detail is complete, we walk you through the finished vehicle and you pay only when you're fully satisfied with the results.

Who Uses Our Mobile Detailing Service

Westmount's mix of professionals, families, and tradespeople means the vehicles on these streets are as varied as the people driving them. Mobile detailing fits naturally into a neighbourhood where time is short and standards are high.

Busy Professionals

Executives commuting to private wealth management firms downtown or to the McGill University Health Centre don't have hours to spare at a detailing shop. Arete works around your calendar so your vehicle is spotless without costing you an afternoon.

Parents & Families

Families running kids to Selwyn House or The Study accumulate crumbs, spills, and muddy boot prints faster than any other demographic. We restore your SUV or wagon interior to clean while you're at work or at home.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Condo residents along Sherbrooke Street West and de Maisonneuve don't have a private driveway to hand off a car for detailing. Arete works directly in your underground garage stall, so building without a carwash is never an obstacle.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

Rideshare drivers working Westmount and the surrounding Montreal corridors know that a clean interior keeps ratings high and repeat ride requests coming. We offer efficient interior refreshes that get you back on the road looking sharp.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Tradespeople servicing Westmount's historic homes accumulate tool dust, mud, and debris in their truck beds and cabins every week. A regular detail keeps your work vehicle presentable when you're pulling up to a client's property on The Boulevard.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

Westmount's streets are lined with Range Rovers, BMW X5s, and Audi sedans whose paint and leather demand products matched to the surface. Arete treats every luxury vehicle with the material-specific care those finishes require.

Vehicles We Detail

From European sedans navigating Côte-Saint-Antoine to full-size Range Rovers parked along The Boulevard, Westmount's vehicle mix spans a wide range of sizes and surface complexities. Pricing reflects the actual time and product volume each vehicle class requires to detail properly.

Sedans & Coupes

Audi A4s, Mercedes C-Class, and Tesla Model 3s are a fixture on Westmount streets and respond beautifully to a thorough paint decontamination after a Montreal winter. Their compact interiors detail efficiently without sacrificing the depth of clean that paint this calibre deserves.

SUVs & Crossovers

BMW X5s, Mercedes GLEs, and Range Rovers are the dominant vehicle on Westmount's residential streets, carrying families, gear, and the accumulated salt grime of a full Quebec winter. Their larger surface area and three-row interiors mean we allocate the time needed to do the job properly.

Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks working Westmount job sites take on a different kind of punishment — bed debris, cab dust, and heavy road brine coating the undercarriage along Autoroute 20. We clean from cab to cargo area without rushing through the details that matter.

Minivans

Minivans hauling families across Westmount and into Montreal collect an impressive volume of debris across multiple rows and every door pocket. A full interior detail resets the cabin and protects upholstery that takes daily punishment.

Luxury Vehicles

Leather seats, wood trim, and polished aluminium accents found in Westmount's European and British vehicles require chemistry and technique matched to each surface. We don't apply a one-size product to materials that were engineered to specific tolerances.

Commercial Vehicles

Service vans and light commercial vehicles parked throughout Westmount represent a business's first impression at a client's front door. A clean, well-maintained exterior and tidy interior signals professionalism before anyone steps out.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

Westmount's density and mix of historic homes, condos, and street-facing retail creates a wide variety of parking situations our mobile unit is built to accommodate. We've detailed vehicles in underground garages, narrow Victorian driveways, and metered surface lots — the location is your call.

Driveways

Many Upper Westmount and Westmount Summit homes sit on properties with private driveways that offer the ideal environment for a full exterior and interior detail. We work in your driveway with no mess left behind and no disruption to the household.

Condo Garages

Underground garages along Sherbrooke Street West and de Maisonneuve are clean, sheltered, and perfectly suited for a professional mobile detail. We bring a low-profile setup designed to operate within the spatial constraints of structured parking.

Apartment Parking Lots

Surface lots associated with Westmount apartment buildings give us the open access and drainage we need to complete a thorough exterior wash and interior clean. If your building has an assigned outdoor stall, that's all the space we need.

Office Parking Lots

If you're working out of offices along Greene Avenue or Sherbrooke Street, we can detail your vehicle in the lot while you're inside. You return to a finished car without losing a minute of your workday.

Street Parking

Some Westmount residents park on residential streets and that works fine for interior and waterless exterior services. For full wash packages, we confirm access and water source during booking to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Commercial Lots

Retail and service lots along Greene Avenue and Sherbrooke Street West provide workable open space when nothing else is available. We keep our footprint tight and our process efficient out of respect for shared parking environments.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

A real detail addresses what accumulates over months of Westmount driving — salt residue embedded in carpet fibres, road film on paint, brake dust fused to alloy wheels — not just what's visible at a glance. Westmount vehicles deserve the kind of thoroughness that protects long-term value, not a surface-level refresh.

Better Interior Access

Getting into every crease of a Range Rover's third-row track or the stitched leather bolsters of an Audi A6 requires brushes and tools sized for the job, not a single vacuum wand. We carry a full kit of detailing brushes, flexible crevice tools, and low-pressure air to clear debris from every corner of Westmount's most complex interiors.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Westmount families put real mileage on cloth and mixed-material interiors — coffee, mud from Westmount Park, and food residue require an extractor and pH-balanced upholstery chemistry that lifts without degrading fibre structure. We don't scrub harder; we treat smarter.

Surface-Specific Products

The alcantara headliner in a Mercedes GLE and the piano black trim on a Tesla Model 3 cannot share the same cleaner. We carry surface-specific products for leather conditioning, glass treatment, painted plastic, and bare metal so every material gets the chemistry it was designed to receive.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

High-touch areas like steering wheels, gear selectors, door pulls, and vents accumulate oils and bacteria that a wipe-down doesn't fully resolve. Steam penetrates textured surfaces and seams at temperatures that sanitize without introducing moisture to electronics or upholstery.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Alloy wheels on Westmount's European vehicles collect iron particles from brake dust and road salt brine from months of winter driving on Sherbrooke and Autoroute 20. We use an iron-reactive wheel cleaner that draws contamination out of the finish before a safe agitation and rinse, protecting the coating and restoring the appearance.

Final Walkaround

Before we consider a detail complete, we walk the entire vehicle in good light, checking paintwork, glass, trim, and the interior against the standard we set at the start. Anything that doesn't meet it gets addressed on the spot — not explained away.

Westmount Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

No city in Canada tests a vehicle's exterior like Montreal, and Westmount's mature canopy streets add organic threats on top of the seasonal chemical assault. Understanding what each season deposits on your vehicle is the first step to protecting it properly.

Winter

From November through March, Westmount's roads are treated with heavy road salt and liquid brine that coats everything from paint to undercarriage with every pass down Sherbrooke or de Maisonneuve. Salt that sits in wheel wells, door sills, and paint seams through the winter accelerates corrosion and dulls clear coat faster than most owners realize. A mid-winter and post-winter decontamination wash is the most protective thing you can do for a vehicle parked in this city.

Spring

When the snow recedes, months of accumulated salt residue is left behind on paint, in carpet fibres tracked in from boots, and caked into every horizontal surface. April and May also bring heavy pollen from Westmount's dense tree cover, which settles across paint and works into clear coat if left to bond in warm temperatures. Spring is the most important detailing season of the year for vehicles that wintered in Montreal.

Summer

The mature canopy streets of Upper Westmount and The Boulevard are beautiful but they drop tree sap throughout summer, which bonds to warm paint rapidly and resists standard washing if left more than a few days. A summer detail with proper paint decontamination and sealant keeps sap from etching into the clear coat during the hottest months.

Fall

Leaf tannins, wet debris, and decomposing organic matter accumulate on paint and in door jambs as Westmount's trees turn and drop through October and November. Left wet against paint, leaf debris stains clear coat and traps moisture along trim lines. A fall detail prepares the surface properly before salt season begins again.

Why Choose Arete in Westmount

Arete was built for the realities of Westmount driving — the road salt accumulation from months of winter commutes along Sherbrooke and Autoroute 20, the sap and organic debris from the neighbourhood's mature canopy, and the exacting standards that come with the vehicles parked on these streets. We come to your driveway, garage stall, or office lot with a fully equipped unit and the product knowledge to treat every surface correctly. Westmount drivers don't settle for average, and neither do we.

Can you detail near Westmount Square in Westmount?

Yes — Westmount Square is one of our most convenient service locations. We can meet you in the parkade or surface lot while you go about your errands, and we carry our own water and power so the underground parking setup is no problem at all.

What package do you recommend for winter road salt damage in Westmount?

Westmount's harsh winters and heavily salted roads — especially on routes like Sherbrooke Street West and Côte-Saint-Antoine — make a full exterior detail with paint decontamination and clay bar treatment essential. We also strongly recommend our interior deep clean to tackle the salt, slush, and grit tracked in on boots and floor mats all season long.

What package do you recommend for regular maintenance in Westmount?

For Westmount residents who want to keep their vehicle in top condition year-round, our maintenance detail package covers a thorough exterior wash, tire and wheel cleaning, interior vacuum, and surface wipe-down. Booking every four to six weeks is ideal given the city's seasonal road conditions.

Do you detail SUVs, minivans, trucks, and luxury vehicles in Westmount?

Yes — we detail every vehicle type in Westmount, from compact city cars and luxury sedans to full-size SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks. Our pricing is based on vehicle size and selected package, so you always get an accurate quote before booking.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Clicking 'See My Price' generates an instant, transparent quote tailored to your specific vehicle size and the detailing package you choose. There's no obligation, no phone call required, and no surprise fees — just a clear price upfront so you can book with confidence.

Will the price change after I book in Westmount?

No. The price you see when you book is the price you pay, period. Arete is committed to transparent, upfront pricing for every customer in Westmount and across our entire service area.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

Never. Our detailers arrive focused on delivering exactly what you booked — nothing more, nothing less. If you'd like to add a service, you're always welcome to ask, but you will never experience pressure or surprise add-ons at the appointment.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

If any part of your detail doesn't meet your expectations, contact us and we will make it right at no additional charge. Our reputation in Westmount and across the Montreal area depends on every customer being genuinely satisfied with the results.

Do you have a detailing shop in Westmount?

Arete operates exclusively as a mobile detailing service, which means we come to your home, office, or parking facility in Westmount rather than requiring you to drop your vehicle off anywhere. It's professional-grade detailing delivered on your schedule.

Do I need to provide water or power in Westmount?

Not at all. Arete's mobile units are fully self-contained, carrying their own water supply and power generation. Whether you're in a Westmount driveway, a condo garage, or a surface parking lot, we have everything we need to complete a full detail.

Can you detail my car in a condo or apartment garage in Westmount?

Yes. Many Westmount residents live in condominiums or apartment buildings along Sherbrooke Street West and near Westmount Square, and we regularly work in underground and indoor parking structures. We carry our own water and power, and we use low-moisture techniques where needed to keep the space clean and dry.

Can you clean a vehicle parked on the street in Westmount?

In most cases, yes — street detailing is possible in Westmount depending on the specific location and available access. We recommend booking with a private driveway, parking pad, or garage spot when possible for the best results, but reach out if you have a specific street situation and we'll do our best to accommodate.

Do you remove road salt and winter grit from carpets in Westmount?

Absolutely. Road salt and winter grit are among the most common complaints we hear from Westmount drivers, and our deep interior clean is specifically equipped to extract salt crystals, sand, and compacted debris from carpets and floor mats using hot water extraction and powerful vacuuming.

Can you remove every stain?

We achieve excellent results on the vast majority of stains using professional-grade cleaners and extraction equipment. However, some stains that have been set for a long time or have penetrated deep into fabric fibres may be permanently bonded — in those cases, we'll be honest with you about what's achievable and still do our best work.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes. Pet hair removal is a standard part of our interior detailing process. We use specialized tools to lift embedded fur from fabric seats, carpets, and cargo areas, which is especially important for Westmount dog owners who frequent spots like Westmount Park.

How long does a Westmount detailing appointment take?

Appointment length depends on the package selected and the size and condition of your vehicle. A maintenance detail on a standard sedan typically takes one to two hours, while a full interior and exterior deep clean on a large SUV can take three to five hours. You'll receive a time estimate with your booking confirmation.

Can you detail work trucks or fleet vehicles in Westmount?

Yes. Arete services commercial vehicles, work trucks, and small fleets in Westmount and across the greater Montreal area. Contact us directly to discuss volume pricing and scheduling options that fit your business needs.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in Westmount?

Definitely. Rideshare drivers operating in the Westmount and downtown Montreal area put a lot of wear on their interiors quickly, and a regular professional clean helps maintain passenger ratings and vehicle hygiene. We offer flexible scheduling to work around your driving hours.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Please remove personal belongings, valuables, loose items from the seats and trunk, and any car seats or boosters you don't want cleaned so your detailer can access every surface efficiently. The less clutter in the vehicle, the more thorough the detail.

Do you clean child car seats?

We clean the surfaces around installed car seats, but we do not disassemble or clean the car seats themselves, as reassembly must meet specific safety standards. If you remove the seat before the appointment, we'll thoroughly clean the area underneath it.

What happens if it rains in Westmount?

If your appointment is affected by rain, we'll work with you to reschedule at no penalty. For interior-only services, rain typically doesn't cause any issue at all. We monitor weather closely and will proactively reach out if conditions in Westmount are expected to impact your booking.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in Westmount?

Absolutely — luxury vehicle detailing is at the heart of what Arete does, and Westmount's concentration of high-end cars, from Mercedes and BMW to Bentley and Tesla, means we're well experienced with the materials, finishes, and care standards these vehicles require.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes. Our interior packages include leather cleaning and conditioning using products that safely lift dirt and oils while nourishing the leather to prevent cracking and fading — essential for Westmount vehicles exposed to temperature extremes between summer heat and harsh winter cold.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes. Fabric seat shampooing and carpet hot water extraction are included in our deep interior clean package. We use professional extraction equipment to rinse and remove shampoo residue thoroughly, leaving seats and carpets clean and fresh rather than just damp.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes. Wheel and tire cleaning is included in our exterior detailing packages. We use dedicated wheel cleaners and brushes to remove brake dust, road grime, and winter salt buildup — a must for Westmount vehicles that regularly navigate salted roads.

Can you remove odors from a Westmount vehicle?

Yes. Our deep interior clean tackles odor at the source by extracting the organic matter causing the smell rather than simply masking it. For persistent odors — from smoke, food, pets, or mildew — we also offer an ozone odor elimination treatment as an add-on service.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

Yes, we handle biohazard cleaning including vomit, blood, and similar situations using appropriate disinfectants and protective protocols. This service may carry an additional fee depending on severity — please mention it at the time of booking so we can prepare properly.

How do I pay?

Payment is processed securely online through our booking system. We accept all major credit and debit cards. Full payment is collected at the time of booking, and you'll receive a receipt by email immediately after.

Is there a cancellation fee?

We ask for reasonable notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations made with sufficient advance notice are fully refunded. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a fee — full details are provided at the time of booking.

Can you come today in Westmount?

Same-day availability in Westmount depends on our current schedule, but we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings. Check the booking tool for real-time availability in your area — slots fill quickly, especially on weekends and at the start and end of winter season.

What if I am not happy with something?

Contact us right away and we will return to address any area you're not satisfied with at no extra cost. Your satisfaction is our priority and we stand behind every appointment we complete in Westmount.

Is mobile detailing better than going to a shop in Westmount?

For most Westmount residents, mobile detailing is the far more practical choice — there's no commute to a shop, no waiting room, and no disruption to your day. Our detailers bring the same professional equipment and products to your driveway or garage, delivering results equal to or better than a fixed-location shop.

How often should I detail my car in Westmount?

Given Westmount's harsh winters, heavily salted roads, and the high standards residents hold for their vehicles, we recommend a full detail at least twice a year — once in spring to remove winter salt and grime, and once in fall before the cold season begins — with maintenance details every four to six weeks in between.
