Fall Maintenance: Getting Ready for Winter Rust Threats

 As the leaves begin to fall and the air turns crisp in Edmonton, it's a clear sign that winter is just around the corner. While you might be preparing your home for the colder months, don't forget that your vehicle needs seasonal attention too. One of the biggest threats during our long Canadian winters? Rust Proofing Edmonton At JR’s Auto Detailing, we help car owners prevent corrosion before it starts—with expert fall maintenance services designed to keep your ride protected.

Why Rust is a Bigger Problem in Winter

When snow and ice hit the streets, municipalities use salt and brine to keep roads safe. While effective for traction, these chemicals are highly corrosive to your vehicle’s undercarriage, wheel wells, and body panels. 

Fall is the perfect time to build a protective barrier before winter’s worst conditions arrive.

Our Fall Maintenance Services

Full Exterior Wash and Decontamination

We remove any lingering summer debris, road grime, and industrial fallout with a thorough hand wash and decontamination treatment. This allows us to work on a clean surface and spot early signs of rust or damage.

Undercarriage Cleaning and Inspection

Your vehicle’s underbody is the most vulnerable to salt exposure. We pressure-wash the undercarriage and inspect for any early signs of rust or weak spots.

Rust-Proofing Application

Our technicians apply a wax-based or oil-based undercoating to vulnerable metal surfaces. 

Sealants and Coatings for Paint Protection

A layer of high-quality wax or ceramic coating helps shield your vehicle's paint from road salt, snow, and freezing rain. These products offer long-lasting protection and maintain that showroom shine.

Interior Detailing

Fall is also a great time to prep the inside of your car. We deep-clean carpets and apply fabric or leather protection to help guard against wet boots, slush, and salt stains.

DIY Tips for Fall Vehicle Care

Wash your vehicle weekly during winter to keep salt buildup at bay.

Inspect your wheel wells and door sills—common rust hotspots.

Dry your car thoroughly after washing to avoid water sitting in crevices.
