Fall is coming… and your car feels it too

Leaves, humidity, longer nights... Autumn puts your car to the test. For enthusiasts like you, it's the perfect time for thorough maintenance before the cold weather arrives. Here are our tips for keeping your car sparkling and protected until spring.

1. A good wash is the basis

• Wash your car regularly to remove dust, sap and leaf debris.
• Use a mild shampoo, a microfiber glove and dry thoroughly.

💡 Tip: Hand washing followed by gentle drying prolongs the life of your varnish!

2. Give it some shine with an autumn detailing

• Apply a polish or shine to revive the shine.
• Finish with a protective wax or ceramic treatment to create a barrier against rain and pollution.

✨ A “showroom” look even under the clouds.

3. The cover: the essential ally of autumn

It's the reflex of enthusiasts. A good cover protects your car from the cold, dust and humidity.

👉 If your car is stored indoors (garage or box)

• Choose a My Roadster® STRETCH™ indoor protective cover.
• Its stretchy fabric fits the body perfectly.
• Dustproof, breathable and soft, it keeps your roadster looking like new.

👉 If your car is sleeping outside

• Choose a My Roadster® outdoor cover, resistant to rain, frost and UV rays.
• Strong bindings, reflective strips and a soft lining: everything for 4-season protection.

🛡️ A My Roadster® cover is much more than protection — it's prestigious care for your vehicle.

4. Check fluids, change oil

• Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid... everything must be ready.
• Clean oil protects your engine better when temperatures drop.

⚙️ A little check-up now means avoiding big problems later.

5. Battery: avoid unpleasant surprises

• Check the charge and clean the terminals.
• If your car is driven little, connect a trickle charger.

🔋 A well-maintained battery guarantees a good start even after several weeks of inactivity.

6. Pressure and tyres: your safety comes first

• Cold weather lowers blood pressure: check it regularly.
• Also check the tread depth for better grip on wet roads.

🚘 A well-shod car means more grip, more safety, more fun.

7. Prepare it now for winter

• Antifreeze windshield washer fluid, windshield wipers in good condition, working heater.
• If your vehicle remains immobilized, cover it with a suitable My Roadster® cover.

🌨️ Prevention is better than scraping your windshield every morning!
