The weather outside is frightful but your car could be so delightful…

Yes, January's here and that usually means a nightmare for motorists with a combination of ice, road salt and early dark nights. This often means dirty vehicles and unhappy drivers.

However, here at Autosheen we can wipe away winter worries by giving your car the spruce up and protection it needs.

Our services such as Tribos, detailing and professional polishing all shield cars against the winter elements, which washing alone won't achieve.

Tribos is the daddy of all car paintwork safeguarding - as well as creating a showroom standard shine, Tribos is water and oil repellent and protects paintwork from UV rays. What's more, the treatment can also be applied to alloys, windscreens and vehicle interiors to provide long term protection through the winter months - so, no more smeary windscreens and messy footwells.

Detailing is a bodywork protection system which seals and protects the car's bodywork from problems caused by exposure to damaging factors such as weather, pollutants, insect remains and road salt. When applied, the formulation forms a protective layer to preserve the colour and gloss finish, wash after wash.

Autosheen's expertise will go a long way in preventing corrosion and keep your vehicle looking like new.

Just because we care here's some simple steps to ensure safer driving during winter:

Make sure you have:

• Ice scraper and de-icer
• Torch and spare batteries - or a wind-up torch
• Shovel
• Warm clothes and blankets
• Water to drink and for the windows
• Hot drink in a flask
• Boots
