Must-Have Winter Car Wash Products and Supplies to Stock at Your Car Wash

With winter just right around the corner, now is the time to start thinking about which cash wash products and supplies you should carry to make things easier for your customers to remove ice and snow from their vehicles. Of course, they will be stopping by to have salt, sand, and winter sludge removed from their vehicles. This is the perfect time to provide them with a wide range of items they will want to keep in their cars.

• Snow Brushes:There are several different types offered. The best snow brush is one that features an ice scraper on the end of the handle and a squeegee on the opposite side of the brush. This one ensures it can be used for a variety of purposes and takes up less vehicle storage space.
• Ice Scrapers: Small ice scrapers are another item you will want to stock. Some people may already have a snow brush but need a new ice scraper.
• Lock De-icer: Car locks can freeze in the winter from moisture inside car doors. You don’t want your customers pouring hot water into the lock, as this only makes the problem worse. Help them out by stocking lock de-icer.
• Snow Shovel: In areas that get lots of snow, keeping a snow shovel in the truck can come in handy. You can promote snow shovel sales by reminding your customers that they can use it to help dig their cars out if they get stuck.
• Wiper Blades: Your customers can go through wiper blades much faster in winter, especially if there is a lot of ice and heavy, wet snow. Keep a variety of different sizes on hand so you can help your customers keep their windshields clear.
• All-Weather Floor Mats: Carpet floor mats won’t stand up in the winter. All-weather rubber mats are designed to keep water on the mat and protect the carpeting in your customers’ vehicles.

Tips for Removing Snow and Ice from Vehicles

One way to sell your wintertime products is sharing useful tips your customers will appreciate, like the right way to remove snow and ice from their vehicles, as follows:

• Never use a snow shovel, ice scraper, or snow brush to remove snow from the painted surfaces on a vehicle. To remove snow from the roof, hood, and trunk without scratching the paint, you want to use a rubber or foam squeegee. You can also use the squeegee to remove snow from the headlights and taillights.
• Never push snow off the car; pull it toward you instead, with back-to-front movements. If you remove the snow by using back-to-front movements, it makes getting the snow off easier.
