What Boise does to your car, season by season
| Season | What is happening | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Winter | Magnesium chloride brine and sand cling to lower panels and the underside. Inversions leave an oily film on paint and glass. | Rinse the underside and lower doors on days above freezing. Put rubber mats in. |
| Spring | Leftover deicer, pollen, tree sap, cottonwood fluff, and sprinklers starting back up. | Do one thorough post-winter reset, then put fresh protection on before summer. |
| Summer | Strong high-desert sun, days in the 90s and 100s, bugs, Foothills dust, and smoke some years. | Get bugs and bird droppings off within days. Wash early or in shade. |
| Fall | The calm window before the roads get brined again. Sprinklers shut off. | Protect the paint, deep-clean the carpet, and check the wipers. |
The Treasure Valley also has hard water, so sprinkler overspray leaves mineral spots that the sun can bake in. See the month-by-month car care calendar and the guide to hard water spots.
