Winter Conditions Can Damage Your Vehicle’s Exterior

Understanding the hazards of winter weather can help you formulate a game plan for protecting your INFINITI‘s exterior. Between the freezing temperatures, icy roads, heavy snowfall, and the chemicals put down on the road to aid traction, you are combating many exterior elements. Below, we will go over some tips and tricks we follow here at Mike Ward INFINITI in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, to get through the winter season.

Tips and Tricks for Protecting Your INFINITI’s Exterior During the Winter

Regularly Wash Your INFINITI – It might seem like a horrible task during colder temperatures, but giving your vehicle a quick car wash is important in keeping road salt ot chemicals and dirt from affecting paint.  If you can’t do a full cash wash, just a quick rinse of water will help remove harmful debris.

Protective Coating Works Wonders – By adding a few basic waxes and polishes, you can create a tougher shield on your INFINITI‘s paint for another layer of protection.  You can have these professionally applied and baked onto the vehicle’s exterior and one coat can last several years.

Use a Car Cover – If you don’t have a garage or carport, covering your vehicle is important.  You can even find car covers that fit your specific make and model of vehicle!  A car cover means not needing to damage your exterior with ice scrapers or firm bristle brushes too.

Stand Up Your Windshield Wipers – Whether you’re parking outside during a snowstorm or are sure your INFINITI will be in freezing temperatures overnight, stand up your windshield wipers.  This will avoid damage to the wipers and will greatly reduce streaking.
