If you live in a place with bad winters, let this TikTok video be a warning to you…

It comes to us from an auto shop and a mechanic showed viewers what happens when people who live in cold climates don’t wash their vehicles.

The mechanic showed viewers the bottom of a 2021 Ford F-150 that only has 20,000 miles on it…and it wasn’t a pretty sight.

The underside of the truck had rust and other damage.

The man said, “This is exactly why we’re supposed to wash them at least once a year and rust-proof them.”

The mechanic showed more damage on the bottom of the truck and told viewers, “You can see this truck has no miles on it. It’s made to last a very long time, and it’s getting pretty nasty.”

Check out the video.

Low miles, but high corrosion. ❌ Get an underbody wash + rust proof to prevent this! #rust #corrosion #underbodywash #protection #lowmiles #truck #mechanic #technician #fyp

Wash your cars, folks!
