Before a long drive, technical checks take priority: tyres, fluids, lights, wipers, brakes and any manufacturer service requirements should be addressed by the appropriate workshop.

Clear visibility and a usable interior

Clean glass, mirrors and lamps support visibility. Inside, remove loose items, vacuum the main areas and treat spills or odour sources rather than masking them with fragrance.

Leather, fabric and displays need material-specific cleaning. Existing cracks or damage require separate repair and cannot be restored by routine cleaning alone.

Exterior care that suits the trip

A sealant or coating may make insects and road film easier to remove, but it cannot prevent stone chips or every scratch. Its value depends on preparation and how the vehicle will be washed during and after the journey.

AVP can combine interior care, hand washing and suitable protection before departure without presenting cosmetic care as a substitute for mechanical preparation.
