## Reducing Winter Corrosion

With winter already here, cities are being forced to put down salt (and its alternatives) much earlier than normal. This is going to extend the corrosion season and increase the chances of doing damage to vehicle frames and undercarriages. While we always encourage regular washing, it can be especially important during winter.

Whether it’s with an Automated Drive-Thru Wash, manually 2 Step Washing, or using an undercarriage cleaner, keeping fleets clean can prevent costly repairs, reduce rusting, and lower overall maintenance costs. Contact our consultants to see if we have a solution for you!
