When winter arrives, what also arrives is salt poured on the highways to make them safer on which to travel. While we’re all happy to see the salt trucks out on the roads, we often forget that salt not only makes roads less slippery but can also damage your car and cause premature rust corrosion. Here are a few things you can do to protect your vehicle from salt corrosion.
It will be very beneficial to wash your vehicle every couple of days in the winter time. Washing it will get rid of the salt before it has a chance to damage your vehicle’s body. Waxing is also very important after the vehicle is washed. Car wax provides the body with a protective coating that repels things. Lastly, when you’re out and about, avoid parking near a big snowbank to prevent snow from getting on the body. These little steps you take can keep your vehicle looking good and increase the value.
