Salt is disastrous to the appearance and function of vehicles. Not only is it a nuisance, it can also cause untimely damage and disrepair if not treated quickly. During the winter months, salt is often applied to the roads that we drive across daily. Although this can help with safe driving, salt is not something that you want to leave on your car for an extended period of time.
Spray Your Car
One way to provide temporary relief from salt damage on your car is to spray it off regularly utilizing the self-service and full-service car care we offer at our convenient locations. Just a simple spray off can help break down the excessive sodium chloride that can happen when driving on salted roads. If you’re unable to do a detail of your car, a quick wash off at least once a week can provide an effective measure against the degradation of the paint or plastic of your car. For a quick wash, stop by a Flagstop Express Exterior or Self-Service wash location. If left for an extended period, the salt can even begin to affect the carpet and interior of your car, so act quickly.
Try a Home Remedy
Although the most effective way to ensure thorough removal of salt build-up, especially on the undercarriage is to utilize a car wash membership, you can use some home remedies in between your car wash visits. If getting into the car wash once a week just doesn’t fit into your busy schedule, you should at least make the effort manually clean off some of the interior salt with a homemade solution. The best option is to use a mixture of half water and half vinegar. The best option is to use hot water in your mixture and pour it into a spray bottle. With this option, you will be breaking down the salt bonds that adhere to your carpet and interior. After spraying, use a brush to work into the carpet and vacuum. Doing this will extend the life of your floor mats and carpets which is often the first line of defense against salt corrosion.
