Your car is more likely to be scratched during winter due to all of the potential debris on the road. As moisture penetrates deep scratches and chips in your car s paint and repeatedly freezes and thaws, it weakens and eventually cracks surrounding paint. This allows oxidation to rapidly set in. A quick and easy way to reduce oxidation caused by winter road damage is to wash your car as often as possible and inspect for paint chips and scratches. When found, seal new paint chips with wax or an acrylic sealant.
Winter is also hard on leather interiors.
Cold, dry air pulls the moisture from leather. So, it s important to treat leather prior to the onset of freezing temperatures. Although the surface will look good, you have not provided moisture to the hide. I recommend Hyde Food before Winter and 303 Aerospace Protectant during the Winter months. Your car s tires have a tough job in the winter, too.
