5 Winter tips to protect your car's paint

1. Apply a sealant to your car's paint to create a shield against road salt and grime, as well as snow, sleet and rain.
2. Use a high-pressure sprayer to rinse away all the grit, especially on the whees, wheel wells and undercarriage.  High-pressure spray loosens and removes road salt and grime, reducing the chances of permanent damage in hard to reach areas.
3. To get your car through the winter months, use a spray sealant to provide additional paint protection.  Spray sealant is easy to apply and wipes off quickly.
4. To clear away snow from your car, use a soft snow brush or a foam brush.  Avoid using hard plastic scrapers you might use on your windshield, as they can scratch painted surfaces.
5. When spring arrives, give your car a thorough detailing, including washing, cleaning of stuck-on residue with a clay bar, applying a compound a waxing.  This will remove all traces of the harsh winter and make your paint look its best.
