Protection How to Deal with Snow, Mud, and Wet Roads: A Winter Maintenance Guide The arrival of winter brings specific challenges for those who want to keep their car in good condition. Snow, mud, and constantly wet roads create conditions that accelerates wear on several vehicle components, affecting not only appearance but also safety and mechanical durability. Therefore, understanding automotive winter maintenance is essential to avoid bigger problems throughout the season. Unlike other times of the year, winter requires extra attention. In addition to the cold, factors such as constant moisture, mud residue, road salt, and sudden temperature changes directly affect paintwork, brakes, tires, suspension, and metal parts. As a result, adopting preventive care becomes a smart and cost-effective choice. Why Is Winter So Harsh on Your Car? During winter, vehicles are exposed to extreme conditions. Snow and mud easily accumulate in wheel wells, underbody areas, and suspension components. Moreover, wet roads increase contact with abrasive contaminants, which consequently accelerate wear on paintwork and metal parts. In regions with snow, the use of salt and chemical agents to melt ice is common. However, these residues are highly corrosive. When not properly removed, they can cause premature oxidation, compromising the vehicle’s structural components. For this reason, winter maintenance should not be seen as optional, but as essential. Caring for Paintwork and External Surfaces Paintwork is one of the areas most affected during winter. Mud, dirt, and mineral particles easily adhere to the vehicle’s surface, especially on wet roads. In addition, constant moisture encourages staining and micro-abrasions. Whenever possible, the vehicle should be washed frequently, even on cold days. This way, aggressive residues are removed before causing permanent damage. It is important to emphasize that washing should be done with appropriate products, avoiding overly aggressive solutions, as clear coat tends to be more sensitive at low temperatures. In addition, applying waxes or sealants is highly recommended. These products create a protective layer that makes dirt removal easier and reduces mud adhesion. Consequently, the paint remains protected for longer, even under adverse conditions. In this case, we recommend using V80 Vonixx for paint protection.
