Summer is here and the scorching sun and increased outdoor activities can take a toll on your vehicle. Auto detailing during the summer months is not just about keeping your car looking pristine, but also about protecting it from the harsh elements. At APC Auto Spa, we offer a range of services designed to maintain and enhance your vehicle's appearance and longevity during the summer season.
Why Summer Detailing is Essential
Protection Against UV Damage: The intense summer sun can wreak havoc on your car’s paint, causing it to fade and deteriorate. UV rays can also damage interior surfaces like dashboards and leather seats, leading to cracks and discoloration. Our ceramic coatings, such as Ceramic Pro, provide a durable layer of protection that shields your car from harmful UV rays, preserving its appearance and value.
Enhanced Cooling Efficiency: A clean exterior helps your car stay cooler by improving airflow and reducing the workload on your air conditioning system. Detailing your vehicle removes dirt and grime that can obstruct airflow, making your car more fuel-efficient and comfortable.
Preventing Corrosion and Stains: Summer brings dust, pollen, tree sap, and bird droppings, all of which can damage your car’s paint if not removed promptly. Regular detailing creates a protective barrier against these elements, preventing stains and corrosion.
Maintaining Interior Hygiene: Summer heat can turn your car’s interior into a breeding ground for germs and allergens. A thorough interior detailing, including vacuuming, steam cleaning, and conditioning, ensures a clean and hygienic environment, which is especially important for long summer road trips.

Window Tinting
Ceramic IR Window Tint uses a combination of the newest technologies in heat rejection and thermal conductivity. Ceramic Pro has spent over a decade working with the most innovative Ceramic Coatings, and we have brought the knowledge of Nano-ceramic technologies to our KAVACA Ceramic IR product line. Nano ceramic particles are transparent and do not affect the VLT, but rather are focused on blocking the Infrared heat and UV bandwidth. This enables the KAVACA Ceramic IR to block over 99% of the UV Rays and 88% of the IR Heat even at the 70 VLT which is almost clear to most people.
Many companies will use metal particles to accomplish heat rejection, but metallic films reflect light and radio waves as well which causes more glare from your windows and spotty cellular signals. Using Nano-ceramic particles in KAVACA Ceramic IR, the energy from the sun is absorbed, creating a more comfortable temperature and more rich black appearance while ensuring GPS reception and reliable cellular phone service.
