A positive effect of road salt is extra traction for winter drivers. A negative effect of road salt is corrosion. While most Washington, PA drivers understand why road salt is necessary, not all of them understand how to prevent its negative effects. How do you prevent salt corrosion from taking place and ruining your vehicle's outer coat of paint?
One strategy that we at Budd Baer Buick recommend is protecting your vehicle with a cover after you park it in your driveway. An alternative that provides just as much protection is to instead park the aforementioned vehicle in a garage.
Regularly waxing and washing your car throughout the winter months is another powerful way to fight off the corrosive effects of excess road salt. By adhering to these steps, you can greatly reduce the chances of your vehicle's paint corroding due to exposure to road salt.
