Rainy weather has been hitting the state hard recently and if you are like most Californians you think rain means a free car wash! There is nothing better than a clean looking exterior after the rain. No argument there. However, while rain does make your car look a bit shinier today we are going to tell you why you should get a real car wash right after it rains.
To begin, rain is very acidic. Acid rain can cause damage to your car’s paint or body over time. Rain also brings other harmful pollutants and particles down onto your car which can stain or damage your car’s surface. The potential damage from rainfall is overall very minimal but if you drive a newer car or if you just got your car detailed it is a good idea to bring your car in to get all that dirty rain washed away.
There is a good chance California sees a few more storms before spring officially hits. If you get a quality car wash now, it will be better prepared for future adverse weather conditions. Most car washes offer services like RainGuard application and wax which can help put a layer of protection between your car’s surface and the elements.
Lastly, it is a good idea to get your car washed right after the rain because you do not know what has built up under your car. Rain produces things like mud, puddles, and wet roads and you never know what could be hiding or building up under your car. It is often the things you cannot see that do long term damage simply because they are hidden.
Wash all of the acid rain off of your car. Prepare your car for upcoming storms. Clean out everything that is hiding under your car. The car wash lines will be short and you will be doing the smart thing for your car’s longevity. Get your car washed now!
