Winter travels adds extra hazards to everyday driving. While snow and ice related dents and dings are immediately noticeable, road salt damage to cars is a culprit that silently assaults all winter long. Without proper maintenance, road salt damage can rust your vehicle. These tips, courtesy of dmv.org, can help you prevent rust damage.
- Keep the floors of car clean and try to prevent the slush and salt on your shoes from creating floor rust. Installing heavy rubber floor pads can help.
- After driving, carefully remove any snow that accumulate behind the wheels.
- Run your car through the car wash as often as possible during the winter, cleaning rust-sensitive spots such as the hood, top and rear deck. Salt settles in these locations. Car wash steam and undercarriage cleaning can also be helpful in preventing rust damage under your vehicle.
- After each wash, rewax and reseal your your vehicle.
