Looks like winter is almost over - it's a good time to wash your car to remove salt and debris that can damage your vehicle's paint and undercarriage. Wait for temperatures to be above freezing before washing your car to avoid frozen water and potential damage. Remember to: Rinse the car with a high-pressure spray to remove loose debris and salt from the undercarriage and wheel wells. Use a car wash soap specifically designed for winter conditions, avoiding household detergents. Use one bucket for soapy water and another for clean water to prevent scratching the paint. Start from the roof and work downwards, allowing the soap to soak into the grimiest areas. After washing, dry the car thoroughly to prevent water from freezing in crevices. Pay special attention to the undercarriage, where salt and grime tend to accumulate. Clean the tires and rims with a degreaser and brushes, then apply a tire shine product. Inspect the vehicle for any damage caused by winter weather, such as rust or corrosion. Remove carpets and vacuum and vacuum the interior, including cup holders, seat crevices, under child car seats, the trunk, and floor. Use hot water in a spray bottle to remove salt stains, avoiding pouring water directly onto the stain. Use a glass cleaner to remove any grime or streaks from the windshield and windows. Use an interior cleaner to clean the dashboard, console, and other interior surfaces. Inspect the interior for any damage caused by winter weather, such as mold or mildew.
