It is something that you might not consider as your first line of defense when trying to protect your car finish against car scratches and the need for car scratch removers. The best strategy to protect your paint this winter is to keep it clean and keep it protected. I am going to give you a strategy to keep the car finish on your car, truck, SUV, minivan etc protected this winter and in the spring your car paint finish will emerge better than ever.
Step one: keeping the paint finish clean: Good way. Keep your car paint clean as is reasonable given weather conditions. Avoid automatic car washes since they are notorious for inflicting micro car paint scratches. Hand wash at home (weather permitting) or take your vehicle to a do it yourself wash, only use clean micro fiber towels for cleaning or drying.
Best way. The best way to keep your paint finish clean in cold weather is with a modern waterless car wash system. This consists of a special spray and micro fiber towel which removes road grit and dirt without water and without scratching the paint finish. The finest waterless car wash systems contain an acrylic polymer that bonds to the paint to create a slick barrier that repels grit and prevents road grit and dirt from sticking to the paint finish. You can use a waterless car wash product like this when your hoses are all frozen and you have no source of running water.

Car and SUV Winterization
Protecting your pride and joy and one of your largest investments this winter. The automobile has become an extension of its owners personality as well as representing a huge chunk of our hard earned income. Lets face it, as Americans we love our cars. We want them to look good, cruise smoothly and last a long time. Then of course there is the weather. Man is constantly adapting to his environment and adjusting to his climate. We put stuff on the roads so we can drive in any weather without fear of becoming the next human driven hockey puck.
During the Winter Months different agencies apply different things to the roads to keep them drivable like salt, sand and chemicals such as de-icing chemicals, which are environmentally friendly but can destroy a regular wax job. Magnesium Sulfate works great to keep cars from sliding into the guardrails and ditches, but it plays hell on an automobiles finish. With rust and corrosion threatening to destroy your investment and reduce the value of your car by thousands of dollars the stakes become high. We may not be able to control the weather quite yet, but we can give you the tips from years of experience and industry knowledge to help you minimize your risk, fight back against jack frost and work with mother nature to co-exist and cruise successfully through winter. How can you win the war on winter?
Winter is coming and will soon be in full swing. Roads will be packed with vacationers and outdoor sports aficionados. You and your car need to be ready. We know from experience that bare metal will rust when exposed to moisture and harsh elements. Take a look around your car, are there paint chips? Even small chips can allow moisture to get underneath your cars finish and work its way all the way through the metal. Holes in your car needless to say will not improve your chances for good resale value. And if your car is on a lease they will be hitting you hard on its return. There are several things you can do to take care of these chips now. To find a chip repair person go to Paint Bull’s website and find one of their 500 mobile chip repair dealers.
