A salty Jeep is a sad Jeep, and my Jeep is extra sad this winter. She is looking forward to the rising mercury, which means she can have a bath.
The road salt poured on our roads each winter is extremely corrosive, and can cause extensive damage. The threat salt poses to your vehicle is rust, which is accelerates with repeated exposure.
Wash your vehicle as soon as possible after the snow.
Wash the underside of your Jeep often during the winter months.
Avoid driving through large puddles of standing water where road salt collects.
You should avoid washing when the temperature is below freezing because the water will immediately freeze. Door locks could freeze and your windows could be hard to de-ice.
Pay extra care to your soft top. Avoid an automatic car wash if you have a soft top. The brush type car wash can easily scratch the vinyl windows. Or the dirt left on the brushes from another vehicle can scratch the windows too.
The harsh chemicals in the soaps are also bad for your soft tops. The best way to clean your soft top is by hand, or in a manual car wash.
I start by spraying with just water from the top down. I don't use the car wash soap or brush on my soft top.
I save that type of cleaning for home with the Bestop Cleaners. When you do clean your soft top use soft microsoft cloths that are clean and wet.
Hopefully you will have a salt free winter.
