If you live in St. Paul, Maplewood, Little Canada or Roseville, MN, you know how quickly your car can get dirty. Road salt in the winter, dust and construction in the summer—it never ends. That’s why more and more drivers are turning to unlimited wash memberships at Rice Street Car Wash. Not only do memberships save you money, they also make it easier than ever to keep your car looking sharp all year long.

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.
