Wax your headlights and tail lights – Make sure your headlamps are clean of dirt and rub a little car wax on them.  Let dry and buff off.  Slippery surfaces are less likely to build up icicles and other road debris.

Wash your Car – Be sure to clean your car clean during the winter.  Road salt and ice can do a lot of damage to your car’s paint and undercarriage.  Keeping them clean will prolong the new car look.
