Car washes will be busy after the winter ice storm
SUMMARY: Employees at Shine Time Super Wash and Tupelo are expecting to be busy in the coming days as people rush to wash the winter weather off their cars. They emphasize the importance of not waiting too long after a lot of snow, as it can damage the car's finish and lead to corrosion, especially if the car has been driven on salted roads. Their goal is to provide the best customer experience and ensure every customer leaves with a smile. Mechanics also recommend washing the car's underbody to remove as much salt as possible to prevent corrosion.
