Washing your car in the rainy season, a simple thing that should not be overlooked!
The rainy season is probably the season drivers hate the most. It is annoying when the car is, again, stained with rain just after being washed clean, right? Maybe some people even think that they don’t need to wash the car at all since the rain water already did the job for them. But did you know that not washing the car in the rainy season also has disadvantages?
Today, PTT Lubricants will tell you the disadvantages of not washing your car during this rainy season and how doing so will affect your car. Let’s learn how to take care of it during the rainy season!
3 reasons why it is necessary to wash your car during the rainy seaso
1. Stubborn stains
When having to drive through the rain or the water, rain, mud, and leaf fragments from the road can stain the car after it dries. The longer you let the stains sit without cleaning them, the harder and the longer it will take to clean these stains. As these stubborn stains can damage the paint of our car, they may also leave marks that cannot be removed as well.
2. Rust
During the rainy season, the humidity in the air is higher when compared to other seasons. This will cause rainwater in each corner to accumulate more moisture and can result in rust.
3. The effect of rainwater on car paint
As the air is contaminated with a lot of pollution, rainwater can be either highly acidic or alkaline. Leaving the rainwater stains on the car for a long time, therefore, can make the car's color look dull. It will also cause the car's paint to deteriorate before its actual lifespan.
Taking care of your car during the rainy season
Now that you know how not washing your car in the rainy season can hurt your beloved car, you cannot let that happen, right!? If the answer is yes, here are some more ways to take care of your car and make sure it can always look new.
1. Wash your car immediately after going through the rain
When the car is exposed to the rainwater, it is recommended to wash the car as soon as possible to rinse off the rainwater and other dirt.
2. Regularly use high-pressure water jet to wash the undercarriage and the wheel arches
Wheel arches, suspensions, undercarriage and bodywork are areas where mud can deposit the most. If the mud stains are left sitting there for a long time, they will become solid and will be difficult to wash off. When this happens, the high water pressure jet is another good option that can help you easily get rid of mud stains, especially in parts that cannot be reached by hand.
3. Start washing the car from the top
When washing a car in the rainy season, it is better to wash from the top to the bottom. This will help soften hard stains stuck on the lower body of the car and make the washing process easier. If the car is washed from the lower part first, the water from the wash will spill back onto other parts and stain the car again anyway.
4. Always wash your car regularly
It is recommended to regularly wash the car at least once a week to check, maintain and apply wax. In addition to making the car shiny, regularly applying wax will also help protect the car's paint as it will make it more difficult for stains to adhere to the car body. It can make cleaning easier as well.
Now that you know this, make sure to regularly wash your car during the rainy season to keep your car in excellent condition, just like new, and extend its service life! With care from PTT Lubricants💙
