The Easiest Way to Maintain Your Car During Harsh Winter Weather
When it’s freezing outside, you don’t want to spend an hour detailing your car. Here’s how to keep it clean and protected in 15 minutes or less—even in snow, salt, and slush.
Winter Car Maintenance Made Simple
Cold weather doesn’t mean skipping car care—it means simplifying it. The trick is to have a system that protects your vehicle without eating up your time.
Quick Wash Routine for Winter
Here’s a fast maintenance routine that works—even in freezing conditions:
- Pre-soak with The Super Soaper using a foam cannon or pump sprayer
- Let it dwell 3–5 minutes (no scrubbing needed)
- Rinse thoroughly with water
- Dry with the Massive Drying Towel
- Apply Tough As Shell to all exterior panels
This protects your paint, keeps water spots away, and helps repel new grime between washes.
Focus on High-Risk Zones
In winter, some areas take more abuse than others. Pay extra attention to:
- Lower doors and rocker panels
- Wheels and wheel wells
- Windshield and mirrors (for visibility and safety)
Spraying a little extra Tough As Shell on those areas can go a long way.
Keep Supplies in the Trunk
A small winter detailing kit can make a huge difference. Keep a bottle of Tough As Shell, a microfiber towel, and glass cleaner in your trunk for quick touch-ups on the go.
