How Seasonal Changes Affect Your Car’s Exterior
Here is What to Do About It
Every season brings something new — not just for us, but for our vehicles too. Most people don’t realize how much the weather can impact a car’s appearance and condition. From sun to snow, nature can be tough on your paint, trim, and wheels.
In the summer, intense sunlight and heat can fade your car’s paint and cause oxidation. UV rays also damage rubber seals and plastic trim over time. Parking outside without protection speeds up this wear and tear.
Fall brings falling leaves and tree sap — both of which can stain or scratch your paint if not removed quickly. Wet leaves can also trap moisture, leading to rust. And let’s not forget bird droppings, which become more common when trees lose their leaves.
Winter might be the harshest of all. Road salt is corrosive and eats away at your undercarriage and wheels if it’s not cleaned off regularly. Cold temps can also cause cracks in plastic parts and dull your clear coat.
Spring can seem harmless, but pollen and rain can leave residue that bakes onto your paint in warmer weather. Constant wet-dry cycles also increase the risk of water spots and mineral buildup.
That’s why year-round detailing is so important. Each season requires a different approach to protect your car. Regular washes, waxes, and ceramic coatings go a long way.
