Should You Wash Your Car After It Rains?

"Should you wash your car after rain?" is a common question. Short answer: yes, especially under certain conditions.

Acid Rain and Dirty Rainwater

Rainwater picks up dust, pollen, and pollutants from the air, which can leave a thin layer of grime on your paint.

Water Spot Risk

If the sun comes out right after rain and droplets evaporate quickly, mineral residue can leave spots on the paint.

When Should You Wash?

Booking an exterior wash shortly after the rain stops, before water spots form, is the safest option.
