If you’ve had a road trip to a snowy place then your car’s body has been
exposed to melted snow and ice. Road salt is spread on snowed up roads to
create a lower freezing temperature on road surfaces, leading to less ice on highways
and roadways. Sand is also added helping to keep
the salt in place and lending a bit of traction to wet and slushy roads. This
is a life-saving measure preventing accidents during snowstorms.
If your car has been on such a road, the salt in the mush of snow and
ice, mixes further with the melting water and splashes onto the underbody of
your vehicle, depositing itself. This deposited salt
causes rust that will eat away at the metal of your car and cause
rusting on the frame.
It is seen that if the salt is not washed away it can even lead to
brakes failing as the salt embeds itself between a clamp that holds up the line
and mixes with dirt to rub right through the hose.
The ASE certified team of expert mechanics at MissionCar Care suggests that your car should be sprayed down with water thoroughly
once its been out of snowy territory. Pay special attention to the underside, around
the wheel wells and bumpers. Have your car re-waxed and sealed at Mission Car
Care, Katy after you have it washed.
If you live near the beach then too your vehicles are
exposed to salt air. This may not be as severe as the salt spread on roads but
even then, the salt spray from the ocean can
damage the hood, top, and rear deck of the car.
Bring your car
into Mission Car Care, Franz Road for any quick and efficient touching up of chipped
paint because the tiniest bit of exposed metal, if ignored, can develop into a
rusty hole. This is an ideal a stitch-in-time-save-nine scenario.
