Picture this: your car, caked in gritty Minnesota road salt and urban dust, rolls into Rice Street Car Wash under a crisp St. Paul sky. As you pull up, the Petit 360 Automatic Touch-Free Car Wash hums to life, ready to transform your ride from grimy to gleaming. This isn’t just a car wash—it’s a high-tech spectacle that leaves your vehicle sparkling like it just rolled off the lot.

Minnesota winters are notorious for road salt, and while it keeps our streets safe, it can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s paint and undercarriage. Salt buildup can lead to rust, corrosion, and long-term damage if not washed off regularly. Local Tip: Wash your car every 7–10 days in winter, especially after snowstorms, and don't forget to wash the under side of the vehicle.
