The holiday season is a time of festive lights, family gatherings, and shopping trips galore—but as we prepare our homes for the season, our cars often get overlooked. With extra trips on winter roads, your vehicle deserves some holiday TLC, too. Here’s a quick car care checklist to make sure your car is looking great and running smoothly all season long!
Start with a Thorough Wash
Winter weather can be tough on vehicles, especially with all the dirt, grime, and road salt. Salt might help melt ice, but it can also corrode your vehicle’s paint and undercarriage if left untreated. To protect your car, start the season right with a deep clean. A wash at Clean Freak will quickly clear away the dirt and salt that can build up, helping keep your car’s exterior fresh and protected from winter’s rough conditions.
Scrub and Shine Those Tires
Winter roads put your tires to the test, so it’s smart to keep them clean and in top condition. Regularly scrubbing your tires not only improves appearance but also helps prevent wear from dirt and salt buildup. At Clean Freak, our tire scrub option is perfect for giving your wheels a deep clean and preparing them for the icy months. Plus, adding a tire shine gives that sleek, polished look to your vehicle, which is a nice holiday bonus!
Protect with a Polish and Wax
A polish and wax do more than just make your car look good—they add a layer of protection that helps prevent scratches and minimizes damage from dirt and salt. Clean Freak’s Hot Wax with carnauba is an ideal choice for winter protection, as it provides a durable layer to keep your car’s paint in great shape. Not only does it protect against the elements, but it also adds a beautiful shine that makes your vehicle stand out on even the dreariest winter days.
Refresh the Interior
With all the hustle and bustle, the interior of your car can get messy fast—especially if you’re traveling with family or packing your vehicle with holiday shopping bags. A quick interior refresh can keep everything looking and feeling fresh. Clean Freak’s convenient cleaning kits make it easy to wipe down surfaces and keep your car looking holiday-ready, even on the go. Just a few minutes with some wipes and an air freshener can make a world of difference for your holiday drives.
