Prep & Protect your car this Winter with Graham Rahal Performance & Rahal Paint Protection!

Dec. 8 2023 Miscellaneous By Graham Rahal Performance

Is your car ready for winter?  The season is inching closer, and the cold is ramping up!  Snowy and icy roads are incoming, and it is vital that your car steps into the season in its best condition to keep you and those around you safe on your travels.  Luckily Graham Rahal Performance can take care of all of the winter maintenance service and preparation for you.

There are countless reasons why it is important to have your car serviced before winter.  Cold temperatures can deplete the car battery.  Having the oil changed, and the fluids put at good standing is necessary to ensure that the engine is protected, and the car can seamlessly carry out its processes.  One of the most important features to address is the tires.  Tires experience degradation slowly over time, and it builds up each time you hit the road.  Traction and strong grip on your tires are needed all year-round, but particularly when driving on slippery and icy roads, which so often appear during winter.  Cold temperatures can result in a loss of pressure within the tires, which will make them more vulnerable to punctures, as well as create a precarious driving experience.  Overall, winter service will improve the reliability of your ride this winter.  

It is very important to have an expert carry out the winter service.  Our highly skilled technicians at Graham Rahal Performance will be able to spot and treat any potential problems needing addressed, and provide the highest level of service so you can feel confident in your vehicle this season.  Above all, driver's are still responsible for their own safe driving.  Please remember to stay alert and use extra caution in case you need to quickly react to hazards or a change in traffic pattern due to road conditions this winter!

Once the checks and appropriate adjustments have been made at Graham Rahal Performance, it's time to protect the exterior of your car!  Our friends at Rahal Paint Protection are ready and able to tailor the perfect service for your vehicle, and protect your investment.  Looking to protect your paint and wheels from the snow, ice, and road salt?  With ceramic coating or a paint protection film wrap, you can do just that and more!  Paint Protection Film, or PPF, is a clear wrap that is seamlessly applied to your car's exterior, and shields from road debris, insects, and other hazards.  All while protecting the original paint and maintaining its value for a longer period of time.  The self-healing properties keep the surface looking new and spotless!  

Looking for a sturdier layer of protection from the road?  Ceramic coating is the perfect solution.  The clear nano-ceramic coating bonds on a molecular level to seal and protect the surface.  The hydrophobic properties repel dirt and liquids which is incredibly valuable, especially during the winter months.  Ceramic coating protects against harmful UV rays, scratches, and the elements that come with winter weather such as ice, road salt, snow, and dirt.  In addition, the paint is also protected from fading and aging.  Typical clear coats have a hardness level between 2H and 4H.  Ceramic coatings are measured to have a hardness level above 9H, nearly tripling the sturdiness.  They have a glossy finish that brings a showroom shine for years to come, all while providing permanent protection!  

No matter the vehicle you drive, every car is worth making the investment in having protected.  Cars go through a lot of wear and tear during the winter.  The effects of that wear and tear extend beyond a bit of dirt, frosty windshields, and salt-dusted roads.  Paint loses its shine after winter.  The road salt has sharp edges that leave the tiniest of marks.  While it may not be a drastic immediate change, the car loses a level of overall shininess than it previously had, after months of such debris.  That decrease in shine would become noticeable after years of no protective coating.  Moisture can get behind the paint, and the continuous freezing and thawing that comes with fluctuating temperatures can create physical damage and corrosion.  The snow, ice, and humidity make that moisture unavoidable, however you can eliminate the risks they bring by making the investment in a protective coating, whether that be PPF or ceramic.
