Does parking in the rain actually make the car paint fade?
Rainy season is probably the hardest time to go around. For that reason, we can see that most people may choose to use their vehicles when going to work, despite the increased traffic and extended travel durations.
With such weather, no matter where you go, it will always be raining. The more you have to drive through the rain or have to park in the rain, the more difficult your journey becomes.
During those times, what if you have to park in the rain? Will that ruin the car paint?
Today, PTT Lubricants will help everyone solve the question, does parking in the rain really make the car paint fade or not and how does it affect the car? Let’s be prepared for this rainy season!
Parking in the rain will make car paint fade?
Given the highly contaminated air in the present day, rainwater becomes a carrier for various dust particles and chemicals. When these substances come into contact with the car's surface, it will become a stain that adheres to the paint.
This contaminant stain is what makes the paint appear to be faded. Therefore, if you don't clean the car after driving in the rain or having to park in the rain, the stain can become so deep that it cannot be cleaned later on which will permanently make the paint fade.
How does parking in the rain affect the engine?
When parking in the rain for a long time, especially during the night, moisture may accumulate inside the engine, making the car become difficult to start or may not start.
How to take care of the car after parking in the rain
- Clean the car immediately: wash off various dirt stain to prevent it from becoming a deep stain
- Don’t leave the car in the sun after going through a rain: sunlight can cause water and dust to dry and stick to the car's surface as a stain
- Have the car coated or polished: applying a protective coating and polishing can prevent rainwater and dirt from adhering to the car's surface. This can also help protect the paint against the sunlight as well.
In summary, parking a car in the rain can potentially damage the paint and have other negative effects on the car. Therefore, it is advisable to frequently clean the car and consider avoiding parking in the rain whenever possible. With care from PTT Lubricants
