Car WashWhy guests rave about a winter car wash
Don’t skip this.
If you’re a vehicle owner, you should know about road salt damage. No matter what part of the country you call home.
When Winter Storm Elliot swept the U.S. right before Christmas, road crews did all they could to keep streets clear for travelers.
Road salt and liquid de-icers are their main tools to melt ice in extreme temperatures. AAA reports that “These newer alternatives are more effective than traditional salt because they can be applied before a snowstorm, have a lower freezing point, and melt ice and snow faster.”
“However, these same characteristics can be even more damaging to vehicles since the chemicals remain in liquid form longer and are more likely to coat components and seep into cracks and crevices where corrosion can accelerate.”
While effective at treating the roads, these chemicals wreak havoc on your vehicle’s exterior and undercarriage. Rust is the real enemy here.
