Fun fact: the smell of a new car is universally one of the most loved smells of all time. The mixture of fresh leather, cleanliness, and freshening spray is the perfect combination to make you appreciate one of life’s biggest purchases.
Naturally, car owners will do anything to preserve that new car smell for as long as possible. (The “new car” scent air fresheners just don’t quite do the job with the same effect.) From rules about not eating in the car to getting weekly car washes, there’s a lot that can be done to preserve your car. But one of the most common signs of wear and tear often goes overlooked.
Winter wear and tear
Though most drivers easily recognize the need to protect their paint and undercarriage from salt, snow, and mud their car comes up against in the winter, they forget about protecting their interior. Hence, many cars go through major phases of wear and tear every winter as rain, ice, and snowmelt track into the car. This moisture leaves behind dirt and oil that wears out seats and floor mats. And worst of all, rain and melted snow create a musty smell that makes “new car smell” a dream of the past.
Preparing your car for the season
Luckily, winter wear and tear can be heavily minimized and even prevented with a few seasonal practices. Here are some tips to keep your car in good shape all winter long.
