Winterizing your Vehicle

   There are many things to consider when getting your vehicle ready for the winter months; October and November are the best months to get your vehicle in shape for the long winter ahead. Below you will find more information on these items, including what your tire pressure should be, and what you need to include in an emergency kit for your car. This list is no means comprehensive, and you can get more information from your mechanic and the Internet. We do hope, however that this article gets you on the right path.

Save Your Car from the damaging Effects of hard Weather

   The fall and winter weather can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s exterior—unless you take steps to protect your car, truck or SUV from the rain, snow, sleet and salt that you’ll be driving through for the next several months. Rain, snow sleet and salt contain acids that eat away at paint and finish of your vehicle. After acid rain or snow falls on your car, the water evaporates, but the acid remains. Concentrated by sunlight this acid can become so strong that it will literally eat through the clear coat of your vehicles finish, dulling the appearance. Similarly, the chemicals in road salt will combine with melting snow and ice to also cause damage to your vehicle. You can avoid the damaging effects by visiting a professional car wash like Valet, immediately after it rains or snows. Valet Car Wash uses high-pressure water and advanced, eco friendly detergents to remove dirt, salt and other potentially damaging particles from your car’s finish, wheel wells and under carriage A professional car wash can help protect your vehicle form the harsh elements of fall and winter. When you follow these basic car care tips, you’ll extend the life of your vehicle’s appearance and your feel great driving a clean car.

1. Wash your car every 10 days, and
especially after it rains or snow

susceptible to acid rain and UV rays.

and belongs to a professional car wash association.
