The wintertime in Houston is stable for the most part; it's mainly dry but cold nonetheless. Usually, the temperature levels don't reach a freezing point. Although, it's worth mentioning that snow or ice storm is probable. Low temperatures can take a toll on the aesthetics and operation of your vehicle. So, you might as well do everything you can to equip your car for the season. Wintry weather comes with the following hurdle.

Strong Humidity Levels

This represents two extremes: downpour or lack of moisture. Either way, these scenarios enable the debris and rust to settle on fragile areas. Whether through snow or rain, water brings some undesired oxidation to your car, especially if you don't treat the problem early.

Act Quickly

You shouldn't overlook the potential damages of this situation. You may ask, "But why should I treat this problem quickly?" Well, if you don't, the top coat covering your car's paint will be the first victim of the winter. This problem won't stop there. It'll move on beneath the outer layer and chip the paint and the car's metal bodywork.

Waxing Your Car on Time

Timely and seasonal waxing can make all the difference. Adding this protective layer is also a barrier to keep the moisture surface level. If the car is waxed correctly, this film won't allow humidity to reach metal pieces and exposed parts. Do this step on time, and you won't have to deal with oxidation until the next wet season. Your tires and those of others move and pick up rubble and grime off the pavement. There's nothing you can do to stop this, but you can always protect your car from damage. Apply a shielding layer of wax after spreading polish on the vehicle. You'll notice how it will keep dirt from scuffing the paint.

Dealing With Winter Drizzle

The rain in the middle of the winter produces ice accumulations on the road. So, you'll see a coating of a grayish scraped trail right after the car circulates on them. The residues contain muddy or dirty ice, oil, grease, fuel, and other filthy elements that taint the water rain when in contact with the pavement. This combination of factors poses a significant threat to the paint and metal car parts. Applying wax protects them from those residues and repels their sticky traits from your car.

The Most Effective Quick Fix

You may know by now that each season causes various waste and damage. Now, in tandem with the residues from the other vehicles, the possibility of winter damage is no joke. This task doesn't demand a lot of time. It's quite a simple and fast application. For that reason, it's suggested to clean the car thoroughly. Then, start the seasonal waxing process. Cleaning and washing the car will remove impurities sticking to the surface and under the vehicle.

Before You Spread the Wax

Ensure the vehicle is dust-free and clean. You can use a special car soap to prevent paint deterioration. Besides that, don't forget to wait long enough for everything to dry so wax can easily stick to the surface.

Don't You Dare Forget About Polish

Come on! Not now, after you've come so far. This product is so harsh to the point that it can get rid of the thin layer of varnish, so be careful. You'll get a smooth and precise coat to protect the surface. Polish will upgrade the look of your car. Don't underestimate its power when dealing with dull, scratched, or damaged paint. Remember, the polish goes first; once that's done, you can start the waxing process.

Time to Apply the Wax

It's best to apply the wax gently on the car's surface. If you want, you can use a sponge for the task but make sure you rub the product in circular motions. Divide the vehicle into sections so you can take your time tackling each area.

AMSOIL's Miracle Wash Waterless Wash and Wax Spray is such a game-changer when it comes to waxing. This product can do without soap and also protects the car's bodywork.
