What Hill Country trees and sun do to your paint
Many West Lake Hills homes sit under live oaks, and that shade comes at a price. In spring the oaks drop a sticky yellow-green coat of pollen, grackles roost overhead, and sap spots harden on the roof and hood. Left in the sun, bird droppings can start to etch the clear coat within days.
Winter brings cedar season, when fine juniper pollen settles on every car in the hills. Wiping it off with a dry towel drags it across the paint, which is exactly how swirl marks begin. That is why every exterior detail starts with a foam soak, so the grit lifts off first.
Then comes the summer sun, often near 100 degrees. A spray sealant puts a layer between the clear coat and UV light, keeps water beading and makes the next wash quicker. Most owners top it up every two to three months.

Exterior Detailing questions
Will this fix swirl marks?
No. It removes contamination and adds protection. Swirls and light scratches need Paint Correction.
How do I keep pollen off between visits?
Book a Mobile Car Wash every few weeks in spring. Sealed paint lets pollen rinse off far more easily.
Is it safe to detail in the summer heat?
Yes. We work one panel at a time, in shade where we can, and keep surfaces cool so nothing dries on the paint.
