Why Should You Detail Your Car in the Winter?

• Baby, its cold outside. And if you live in a
  snowy area like Edmonton, chances are your car is
  looking a little ragged these days. Frigid
  temperatures and roads covered with salt, brine
  and dirty snow can make your car unrecognizable.
  Washing your vehicle in the dead of winter might
  seem counter-productive since its just going to
  get dirty again the second you hit the road.

• So, why invest time and energy getting your
  car ready for winter when you cant stop the
  accumulation of salt and muck? The answer is
  actually quite simple economics. Taking care of
  your car now means that it will last longer and
  hold its trade-in value. That being said, here
  are a few reasons why you should be cleaning your
  car in the winter time.

• 1 Salted, Treated Roads Cause Damage.
• Too often, people underestimate the power
  that salt has to cause significant damage to
  their vehicles. While treating roads with salt is
  beneficial for traction and safety, salt is
  extremely corrosive to a vehicle. If you allow
  salt to remain on your car, truck, or SUV for a
  period of time, it can actually eat away at your
  vehicle, causing rust and other damage.

• Rust can show up anywhere under the paint,
  under the car where there is bare metal, and in
  nooks and crannies that you didnt even know
  existed. At Computerized we make sure to pay
  special attention to those areas.

• 2 Protect Your Investment Increase Your
  Vehicles Resale Value.
• Did you know that nearly 24 billion is spent
  each year battling vehicle corrosion damage?
  Hiring a professional detailing service,
  like Computerized AutoPro helps you maintain your
  vehicle by preventing corrosion-related damage.
  Additionally, if you do ever decide to sell your
  vehicle, having it clean will definitely help you
  sell it. People will see that you maintained your
  car and that will add value for the potential
  buyer.

• 3 Avoid Washing Your Car in the Cold
  Weather, Leave It To Us.
• When you hire our team of professional auto
  detailers, you never have to worry about washing
  your car in the cold weather. Well take care of
  it for you!
• You should avoid washing when the
  temperature is below freezing because the water
  will immediately freeze and youll be driving
  around in a popsicle. It will be especially hard
  to de-ice your windows if you wash your car when
  its below 32 degrees. When we do vehicle
  detailing, we keep your vehicle inside so there
  is no chance of it freezing and you can drive
  away in a warm car.

• 4 Vehicle Safety.
• You probably know that its illegal to skip
  cleaning the snow off the top of your car because
  it can cause issues for other drivers. But
  cleaning the snow off other areas is important,
  too. Snow and ice can get caught in your wheel
  wells and interfere with handling. Water can
  freeze on your windshield wipers and reduce your
  visibility making riding in the car particularly
  dangerous for you and your passengers. Keeping
  your windows and headlights clean and clear is
  even more important during the winter months than
  it is the rest of the year. So, make sure your
  car is fully cleaned of snow before you set out.
