Underbody and arches: rinse accessible salt deposits without directing high pressure at connectors, vents, damaged coatings or sensitive components.

Exterior wash: remove road film from paint, wheels, glass, seams and lower panels with compatible products and clean wash media.

Decontamination and inspection: treat tar and fallout separately, then inspect for chips, corrosion or defects that need repair rather than polish.

Correction and protection: polish only where the paint benefits, then apply a suitable wax, sealant or coating if requested.

AVP defines the post-winter scope from the vehicle instead of making every stage compulsory.
