Winter in Lynwood and the Seattle area are synonymous with rain, snow, and occasional wind storm. Protecting your car’s paint from these elements can help maintain and prolong your car’s aesthetics. Here are some tips from our Auto Body Shop to help protect your car’s paint during winter.

 

Car Wash

Rain and Snow can cause water marks on your car’s paint. These watermarks can cause dirt to build up over time if left untreated. Washing your car properly after several days of rain or snow can help remove these build-ups and protect your car paint from getting damaged.

 

Car Wax

After properly washing your car, applying a car wax coating can help add an extra layer of protection from the winter elements. Car wax is hydrophobic and can repel rain, snow, and dirt that come from wind storms. It can also make it easier to remove dirt and grime the next time you wash your car. Be sure to apply car wax every time you wash your car.

Garage Parking and Protective Cover

The best way to protect your car’s paint during the winter months is to keep it parked in the garage or a covered carport. If you don’t have either, then investing in a protective cover will be the next best thing.

Fix Car Dings and Dents

It’s easy to ignore Car dings and dents. Rain, snow, and windy conditions can potentially worsen those damages. Getting it diagnosed and fixed right away can help avoid more costly repairs.
