Winter weather with its freezing temperatures, snow, ice and road salt damage your car’s paintwork and make it vulnerable to rust. Rust not only reduces your car’s value, over time it can also compromise your car’s safety, efficiency and comfort on the road. Here are some tips on how to protect your car during the coldest months of the year:
- Wash your car: The more time dirt, tree sap, road salt and other debris stays on your car, the more wear-and-tear they cause to your car’s protective finish. Washing your car in winter can be a challenge, but it’s worth it to pull into a car wash with high-pressure hoses or steam cleaning (as they are safer on your car’s finish) twice a month. Pay special attention to the wheels, wheel wells and undercarriage.
- Wax on: Once your car is clean, apply a polymer wax and seal to its bodywork. This creates an additional protective surface which shields it against, rain, sleet, snow and salt.
- Invest in a rust prevention spray or car undercoating: Coastal areas in winter mean salt in the air as well as on the road, so extra protection is essential. An anti-rust or rust prevention spray such as HinderRUST is easy to apply, highly effective and will protect your car right through the winter. It is an auto rust inhibitor that you can safely apply to battery terminals, the engine, roof rack and brake lines, as well as the wheel arches, undercarriage and chassis.
