Get Road-Trip Ready: How to Prep Your Vehicle for the Long Haul

Summer in Alaska means one thing: adventure. Whether you’re headed for Homer, Denali, Valdez, or beyond, a good road trip starts with a great ride. At Rocket Paint Works, we help drivers prepare their vehicles to not only look their best, but to stand up to the miles ahead.

Here’s what we recommend to get your vehicle road-trip ready:

1. Deep Interior Detail: Long drives mean lots of time inside your vehicle. A full interior detail cleans every surface, condition seats, restores floor mats, and eliminates odors, making the cabin a more enjoyable place for the hours (or days) ahead.

2. Exterior Wash & Paint Protection: From bugs to dust to sudden weather changes, your vehicle will face a lot. A professional wash paired with wax or ceramic coating protects your paint from grime, debris, and UV damage. It also makes cleanup at the end of your trip way easier.

3. Glass Treatment: Visibility is safety. We offer hydrophobic glass coatings that repel water, reduce glare, and make it easier to clean off road splatter. It’s a small upgrade that makes a big difference.

4. Wheel & Tire Protection: Tires pick up the worst of the road. We clean and treat both tires and wheels, helping repel brake dust and grime, and keeping your rig looking sharp even after hundreds of miles.

5. Undercarriage Protection: If your journey includes gravel roads, beach runs, or any off-road action, we recommend our premium undercoating. It shields your undercarriage from salt, rocks, and moisture, helping prevent corrosion over time.

6. Engine Bay Cleaning: Road grime isn’t just cosmetic. A clean engine bay makes spotting leaks easier and helps keep your vehicle running cooler and cleaner on the road.

Bonus Tip: Add a Ceramic Coating: If you want to go all-in, ceramic coating gives you the ultimate protection. Not only does it provide long-lasting shine and resistance to dirt, UV, and weather, it also helps preserve your vehicle’s value.

Don’t Just Drive. Arrive.

Whether you’re road-tripping for sightseeing, fishing, or hitting the Kenai Peninsula in style, start your journey with a vehicle that’s clean, protected, and ready for the miles ahead.
