Appointments are required for our services, and early sunsets can limit how many vehicles we can complete in a day. To secure your preferred time, we recommend booking your appointment in advance. 📅


Most days, our first appointment begins around 8 AM. As colder weather settles in, we’ll clearly communicate if a shift to a 10 AM start time is needed. This helps ensure safe conditions for both detailing and freezing-sensitive products.


We can safely wash your vehicle when the actual temperature is above 32°F (not the “feels like” temperature). We also factor in wind chill when deciding whether adjustments are necessary—it affects water behavior and how products bond. 🌡️


Cold-weather car care with Stuttaboy Auto Spa — full winter guidelines at StuttaboyAutoSpa.com.

This winter marks my eighth year in detailing, including six years of mobile work, so every guideline is backed by real-world experience in cold-weather conditions.


Whenever possible, we aim to detail in direct sunlight when temperatures sit between 32°F and 40°F. We also choose locations away from tall trees or home shade to prevent frost from forming on the vehicle mid-detail. ☀️


To combat cold temperatures, we use bucket heaters to keep water (and hands!) warm, ensuring a safe, effective contact wash even on brisk winter mornings. 🔥


Please note that these are general guidelines, and certain situations—such as strong winds, unique locations, or specific vehicle needs—may require us to adjust our plan to give you the best result possible.


Cold weather doesn’t have to slow down your vehicle care.

We’re fully equipped with heaters, safe winter wash methods, and proven cold-weather experience.
