Wax Your Car
Prepare your car for optimal protection by starting before snowfall. Begin with a thorough wash, ensuring the underside is included. Apply a coat of wax and a sealant to safeguard the vehicle's paint.
Focus on sealing vulnerable areas like brake and fuel lines underneath the vehicle to prevent corrosion, which, if ignored, could lead to potential accidents. It's advisable to wax your car at least every three months.

Wash Your Car Regularly
Regular car washing might seem futile considering inevitable dirt accumulation, but it's a crucial defence against corrosion and rust. Use hot water for washing to prevent freezing, as salt left on the vehicle's surface can degrade both its finish and mechanics over time.
Use Rubber Car Mats
To shield your car's interior, especially the floor, from salty snow brought in by shoes, use rubber mats. These mats not only prevent damage but also simplify interior cleaning, sparing you the task of rigorous scrubbing.
Fix Any Scratches Immediately
Promptly attend to any scratches on your car caused by winter conditions, as the salt on roads can hasten rusting. Automotive stores offer touch-up paints specifically designed to fill these paint chips, protecting your vehicle from potential corrosion.
Despite winter's dirt and snow exposure, proactive care such as regular waxing, consistent washing, and the use of customized rubber floor mats ensures your car navigates the winter season unscathed.
