A Local’s Guide to Keeping Your Car Looking New in St. Paul
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.
