With Icemagddeon making its arrival across the South, car owners everywhere are learning that winter car care is almost as important as winter maintenance. We reached out to one of our car care favorites, Mothers, for their top tips and product recommendations.
Here’s what they said:
Wash away winter grime.
Salt, grit, and road film can damage paint if left untreated. Regular washing helps protect finishes. Recommended: Mothers California Gold Ceramic Wash & Wax
Improve windshield visibility in rain.
Rain and winter spray reduce visibility. Ceramic protection on exterior glass creates a hydrophobic, water-beading effect. Recommended: California Gold® Ceramic Spray Wax – Mothers® Polish
Clean interior glass to reduce haze.
Moisture and temperature changes cause interior haze that limits visibility. Regular glass cleaning improves safety. Recommended: Mothers Revision Glass + Surface Cleaner
Condition leather to prevent the deep cold from causing cracks.
Think about leather seats like it’s your skin. Dry winter air pulls moisture from leather, leading to dryness, stiffness and even cracking. Keeping leather interior conditioned helps keep seats and trim flexible. Recommended: Mothers All-in-One Leather Care
Ice and cold affect tire performance.
Cold temperatures and winter grime can take their toll on your wheels and tires. Regular cleaning helps maintain performance and prevent your wheels from staining, and tires from prematurely cracking. Recommended: Mothers Foaming Wheel & Tire Cleaner
