Guide to Fall Detailing and Winter Vehicle Maintenance

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our long Canadian winter is just around the corner, and fall detailing is all about preparing for old man winter, and his cousin, Jack Frost. Right now is the perfect time to prepare your car for the upcoming winter since working in the fall temperatures is quite pleasant! Don

Quite a write-up! I hope to have my car parked before the heavy stuff hits but the ol' truck could use a little maintenance before the snow flies!

With your winter vehicles, spray lots of undercoating on the wiring harnesses, fuel lines and brake lines. The calcium chloride brine wreaks havoc on wiring and the connectors wherever it is most likely to get into the metal.

yeah i definitely figured it wouldnt be for the vettes out there...but maybe the daily drivers! lol

For sure! However, we do have a couple people that brave the winter all year round. Thank goodness Saskatchewan doesn't use the calcium chloride brine....or much salt for that matter. Mostly sand and gravel as salt doesn't work at the colder temperatures.
