Fleet Washing for the Winter Season

Winter brings the biggest risk for environmental damage to a fleet – with salt, grime and all the nasty elements that compromise vehicle appearance and reliability. Power washing is the simplest and most effective way to keep your equipment functional, safe and looking sharp.
A thorough pre-frost scrub reaches the hard to clean areas and adds an extra layer of protection that lasts all season long. Maintain a positive professional image while protecting your fleet’s critical components against the ruthless effects of the cold weather.
Why Should I Wash My Fleet During Winter?
Corrosion
Road salt and de-icing chemicals build up fast, trapping moisture and accelerating rust. Over time, this corrosion eats away at brake lines, undercarriage and exposed exterior surfaces, ruining the integrity and value of your investment.
Benefits: Save on future repairs, bodywork and replacements.
Safety
The mixture of dirt, oil, sand and salt doesn’t just look bad – it collects on mirrors, windshields, lights, sensors and even cameras. This buildup obstructs viewpoints, visibility and creates a serious risk for drivers and other motorists.
Benefits: Avoid unsafe equipment, maintain compliance and ensure dependable operation.
Professionalism
Whether it’s -10° or 100°F, your vehicle is a moving billboard and there is nothing appealing about a dirty truck. A well-maintained crew of vehicles shows attention to detail, precise and professionality. Especially in the winter, when many drivers skip washing their carriers, yours will truly stand out from the rest.
Benefits: Improve professional image, stronger brand perception and higher resale value.
When Should I Wash My Fleet?
Just like an oil change, washing your means of transport should be an integral part of your maintenance routine. When it comes to doing any job in the snow season, it’s never ideal to work in cold temperatures. Schedule the project midday in dry, sunny conditions so you can avoid freezing water and brittle results.
