🚗 Your Car’s Fall Bucket List

5 Essential Tasks Before the Season Changes

Fall is a magical time — crisp air, golden leaves, pumpkin patches — but it's also a critical season for car care. Your vehicle just survived the heat, UV damage, and dust storms of summer. Now it’s bracing for an entirely different set of threats: rain, falling debris, mud, and early rust.

Before the full brunt of fall arrives, make sure your car is in top shape. Here’s a fall car care checklist — your car’s very own bucket list — with five smart, simple tasks to protect your investment and keep your ride fresh through the season.

✅ 1. Give It a Deep Clean After a Long Summer

Your car probably endured quite a bit this summer — beach sand, bug guts, bird droppings, road dust, and intense sun. All of this builds up on your paint and undercarriage, slowly dulling your vehicle’s appearance and weakening its clear coat.

Here’s what a deep clean removes:

• Bug acids that can etch paint

• Sticky sap and tar that’s hard to scrub off

• Fine road dust that causes micro-scratches

• Salt and dirt from trips near the coast

At Buff-N-Shine, you can easily knock this out with:

• Foam Soak to break down buildup

• Soft-touch Wash that’s safe on all finishes

• Spot-Free Rinse for a streak-free dry

Want to go one step further? The Buff N Shine Club includes our exclusive Polish Tunnel — adding a protective layer that restores shine and shields against debris and UV rays.

🍂 2. Don’t Let Leaves or Moisture Linger

Falling leaves might look beautiful, but they’re your paint’s worst nightmare.

When wet leaves sit on your car, they can:

• Clog drains and cause leaks

• Leave dark leaf stains on your clear coat

• Create moist zones that promote early rust

Tip: Even if it didn’t rain, morning dew and fog can accumulate in hard-to-dry areas. Washing every few days prevents that hidden buildup.

🛞 Also, don’t forget your wheel wells and trim crevices — these tight spaces trap debris easily. Our wash packages include underbody sprays (Buff N Shine package) to help reduce rust risk in these vulnerable spots.

🧼 3. Keep Glass and Lights Crystal Clear

Shorter days mean you’re driving more during low-light conditions. Fall fog, early sunsets, and dusty winds can quickly reduce visibility.

Make sure to:

• Clean your windshield and mirrors inside & out

• Remove foggy buildup from headlights & taillights

• Watch for smears from wiper blades — if they streak, it may be time to replace them

Buff-N-Shine's spot-free rinse helps keep your glass surfaces sparkling — no towel drying needed. Pair that with clean headlights and you’ll feel the difference on your next evening drive.

🧽 4. Prep Your Cabin for Cozy Drives

Fall often means more time in the car — school drop-offs, tailgates, trips to the mountains. And nothing ruins a cozy drive like a dusty, sandy interior.

Take a few minutes to:

• Use our free vacuums to clear crumbs and allergens

• Wipe down dashboards and cupholders

• Freshen up with a seasonal air freshener

A clean interior = a better mood and healthier ride, especially if you or your family suffer from seasonal allergies.
