Auto Detailing Tips:

4 Tips to Protect Your Car from Rain

The hot and rainy days of summer are upon us and you need to know how to protect your vehicle. Rain can be damaging to your finish and cause water spots, streaks, and even permanent damage. Contaminants in the rainwater and mud, not to mention the acidity of the rain can cause damage to your paint and finish. They can also cause a thick layer of build-up on your finish that also deteriorates it. However, you can help protect your car with a few easy steps. BClean Mobile Car Detailing is here to help with a guide to keeping your car safe from the onslaught of too much rain.

Protective Wax

Applying a coat of high-quality protective vehicle wax can help prevent damage by adding an extra layer of protection which functions as a barrier between your finish and the rain. This will help prevent premature rusting, too, because it fills in scratches and cracks in your paint, protecting them from the elements. If this is too much for you to do on your own, never fear! Most vehicle detailing places offer this service, including BClean Car Detailing.

Keep Your Vehicle Covered

As we’ve said in our articles about protecting your vehicle from the summer heat, it’s crucial in the summer to keep your vehicle covered. Whether you can park under the cover of a garage or a carport or you need to use a fabric cover, if you keep your vehicle covered, you can limit its exposure to all elements which will prolong its life and its look. When water dries on your vehicle, it can create water spots and streaks which run the risk of damaging your paint and finish. Keeping your car covered helps prevent this from ever happening.

Adding Window Visors and Rain Guards

Rain guards and visors can help keep parts of your vehicle dry and improve your visibility while driving in inclement weather. Similar to a bill on a cap or a visor, these helpful tools attach to the top of your window, protruding out further to catch the rain and stop it from spotting on your windows. This will help keep your windows cleaner longer as well as having the added benefits of letting you open your window while it’s raining, minimizing wind that gets into your cab while driving, and providing shade in the heat.

Regular Car Detailing

Regular auto detailing is an important part of helping keep your vehicle clean, running smoothly, and protecting it from potential damages, and this goes for rain too! Rainwater, when left to dry on your vehicle, creates spots and streaks that, when left untreated, cause permanent damage to your vehicle. Having professional auto detailing experts service your vehicle monthly will help prevent these damages and keep your vehicle looking its best. If you don’t have time to get yourself to traditional auto detailing services, give the convenience of mobile auto detailing a try! BClean Car Detailing will come to the location of your choosing and detail your vehicle quickly, conveniently, and affordably.
