Road crews are invaluable to travelers in the winter. Without their salty mixtures, you’d face far more hazardous road conditions than you do. However, road salt can be one of the most damaging chemical mixtures in the universe to a healthy car exterior. When snowy weather sneaks into your life, make sure you have these few handy defenses in mind.
1. Wash your vehicle after every snowy trek out
2. Waxing your vehicle can both help keep salt from accumulating and provide a somewhat protective barrier in the future
3. Try a good seam cleaning job for the undercarriage of your vehicle. This is where most of your salt is going to stick around and do damage over the long term
Each one of these tips keeps salt from sticking around long after it has worn out its welcome. The best way to keep salt out completely is to stay home as much as possible during severe snowstorms. When you’ve got to get out, though, be sure to follow these guidelines.
