Why Winter Car Washes Matter

 

Winter may not seem like the ideal time to wash your car, but it’s actually one of the most critical seasons to do so. At Wash Werks in Barrington, we’re here to help you clean and protect your vehicle, offering express car washes 7 days a week. Here’s why winter car washes should be a non-negotiable part of your car care routine.

Protect Against Salt and Debris

During winter, roads are often treated with salt to melt ice and snow, keeping us safe. However, that same salt can wreak havoc on your car’s exterior and undercarriage. Left untreated, salt and other road chemicals can corrode metal, leading to rust and costly repairs. Regular washing removes these harmful elements before they have a chance to cause damage.

Prevent Paint and Finish Damage

Snow, slush, and freezing rain can combine with road grime to create abrasive conditions for your car’s paint job. This layer of grime can scratch and dull your vehicle’s finish. At Wash Werks, our advanced cleaning process gently removes dirt while preserving the look and longevity of your car’s exterior. Our signature wash includes the application of Wash Werks' Ceramic Shield, ensuring a lasting, radiant finish that repels dirt and contaminants.

Avoid Windshield and Visibility Issues

Clean windows, mirrors, and lights are essential for safe driving in winter conditions. Snowstorms and road spray can quickly obscure visibility, but a quick trip to Wash Werks will ensure your windshield and headlights are spotless, keeping you safer on the road.

Convenience in Cold Weather

Nobody enjoys standing outside scrubbing their car in freezing temperatures. At Wash Werks, you don’t have to! Stay warm and comfortable in your car while our state-of-the-art system does the hard work for you. Our heated drying chamber (available in washes $12 and up) ensures your car will be dry and ready to face the weather elements again. Our express car wash will have you back to your day quickly.
