Many of you in the greater Lancaster area may have been told in the past that washing your car in the chilly winter months can be harmful for the vehicle. However, the best way to keep your vehicle running strong is to make a few visits to the automatic car wash. Here at LCM Used Car Center we are bringing you the details as to how you can make the experience most effective.
There is no doubt about it, in the winter your car is going to get dirty and salty. Rather than standing outside in the cold and trying to wash your car with a hose and sponge, we suggest you prevent the risk of frostbite by bringing your car to an automatic carwash. This way you can get an additional undercarriage wash and a high-powered air dry. Your vehicle will leave the carwash happy, salt free, and dry. No need to worry about doors freezing shut.
It is important to remove the winter grime from your vehicle on a regular basis, about once a month or so, to prevent it from corrosion. Most of us don't realize how destructive salt and brine can be to a vehicle's undercarriage. When your tires kick these materials up and they splatter across the paint, it puts it at great risk of rusting. This is why in addition to a car wash, we recommend having an extra set of wax applied to your car to give it maximum protection against the elements.
We hope these simple tips will keep all of your used car parts in working order throughout the season. Rather than worrying about wear and tear on your vehicle, we want you to be able to embark on all of your winter adventures with the confidence that your car can power through even the snowiest of conditions on its way to the mountain.
