Winter Car Exterior Protection Tips

Winter salt and ice stress paint and adhesive. A few habits and the right guards keep edges safe through the cold.

Salt and Edges

Rinse the lower doors and edges weekly to clear salt. Edge and corner guards add a sacrificial layer.

Cold Install Care

Apply trim above 10C; in winter install indoors so adhesive grabs. Avoid ice on the panel.
