Driving in snow and sleet can compound the effects of acid rain because of the corrosive nature of road salt.

To prevent this damage, washing your car during the winter is highly recommended, provided the temperature is above freezing.

Your car’s finish provides more than beauty. Over time, a car’s paint erodes due to the effects of sunlight, UV radiation, acid rain, salt, dirt, and air pollution.

Wax your car every six months with a quality wax or polish.

More frequent waxes are needed if your car is red, black or white because these colors are more susceptible to acid rain and UV rays.
