Winter in the North East is tough on cars. Freezing temperatures, road salt, rain, and grit can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s paint, undercarriage, and interior. At Cory’s Car Care in Peterlee, we specialise in helping local drivers prepare for winter with tailored services and practical tips.
Exterior Protection
- Apply a Protective Coating
Whether you choose wax or ceramic, adding a barrier before winter begins is essential. It shields your paint from salt, moisture, and grime. - Underbody Sealant or Protection
The underside of your car is often overlooked — but it’s the area most exposed to salt and moisture. We offer undercarriage cleaning and protective treatments to minimise rust. - Wheel and Tyre Care
Brake dust and road salt can corrode your alloys. We clean and seal wheels to prevent winter damage. Don’t forget to check tyre tread and pressure.
Interior Tips
- Install rubber floor mats to trap water, mud, and salt
- Treat leather and fabric with hydrophobic coatings
- Keep a dry microfibre towel in your glovebox for windows
Practical Checks Before Winter
- Top up your screenwash with a winter-ready mix
- Test your battery — cold weather reduces power output
- Ensure your heater and demisters work correctly
