Why you need more car washes this winter
No matter the climate, winter is the right season for regular car washes at your local Tommy’s Express!
Here’s why:
For those with snow
For those in the north, it can be tempting to hold off on car washes when storms are rolling in. After all, you’ll never keep your car clean anyway, so what’s the difference if it stays grimy for a few days, a few weeks, or a few months?
It turns out that difference can be pretty critical.
Winter conditions can do a number on a car in a relatively short amount of time. The snowier it gets the more road salt and de-icing compounds go down on the roads, both of which dramatically accelerate vehicle rusting the longer they sit on your car—especially on the undercarriage where the damage is invisible.
Weekly or twice weekly car washes with an underbody flush service help loosen up that salt layer on your vehicle’s exterior and lower body, slowing the damage rate, while our Ceramic Body Wax® and Tommy Guard® products provide an extra layer of protection over the visible portions of the vehicle.
Make car washing a part of your weekly routine and you may be surprised just how much better your car looks a few years down the road!
For everybody else
If you live in the south or out West, you may still have to worry about road salt from the occasional winter storm, or even from sea salt blowing in on the air from the Atlantic, Pacific, or Gulf of Mexico, depending on where you’re located.
But, wherever you are, regular car washes at your nearest Tommy’s Express will keep your vehicle looking good and give you the best possible road visibility after stormy or windy winter days.
