IN THIS WEEKS GUIDE:
- Summer's here, and while the sunshine brings good vibes and great drives, it also brings challenges for your vehicle. From bug splatter to sticky tree sap and blazing-hot bodywork, your car needs a little extra love this season.
- This guide breaks down the four biggest summer issues and exactly how to solve them using trusted Hydro products. Whether you're an ex-customer looking for a top-up or a new enthusiast, this guide is your one-stop-shop to handle summer the Hydro way.
BAKED-ON BUG SPLATTER
Problem: Long summer drives mean more insects on the road. They smash against your front bumper, mirrors, and windscreen-and once baked on by the sun, they’re tough to remove and can even damage your paint.
Solution:
Step 1: Spray the affected areas with Hydro Pre and let it dwell for 2–3 minutes.
Step 2: Rinse off with strong pressure.
Step 3: For stubborn residue, use our Hydro Detailing Brush Set to agitate gently.
Step 4: Follow with Hydro Snow Foam for a full-body clean.
We Recommend:
Hydro Pre - for loosening stuck-on contaminants
Hydro Snow Foam - full-body foaming lift
Detailing Brush Kit - safe, targeted cleaning
Must Have Products For The Summer
TREE SAP & POLLEN BUILD-UP
Problem: Tree-lined streets offer shade, but they also drop sticky sap and yellow pollen all over your car. Sap bonds to the paint, while pollen can scratch if wiped dry or left to bake in the heat.
Solution:
Tree Sap: Soak with Hydro Pre and leave to dwell for 2-3 minutes, then pressure wash off
Pollen: Wash the panel with Hydro Pre and Snow , then use Hydro Detail post clean, to add a layer of gloss back to the paint.
We Recommend:
Hydro Pre - for sap removal
Hydro Quick Detailer - protection and gloss.
Microfibre Towels - no-scratch removal
Tree Pollen
It seems harmless, but tree pollen collects quickly and bonds in the sun, leaving a dull yellow film that can damage your top coat.
Solution:
Regularly rinse or foam the car using Hydro Snow Foam .
For light dusting, use Hydro Easywash and a clean towel.
BIRD DROPPINGS ON FRESHLY WAXED CARS
Bird droppings are acidic. Combined with hot sun, they etch into the wax (and even paint) in record time - often just a few hours.
Solution:
Act fast: Spray Hydro Pre directly onto the mess.
Wait 30 seconds to soften, then lift gently with pressure washing.
Hydro Recommends:
Hydro Pre - rapid response for bird mess
Hydro Seal - protection top-up
