Save Your Car from the Damaging Effects of Harsh Weather

The effects of weather can wreak havoc on your vehicle's exterior - unless you take steps now to protect your car, truck or van from the elements you drive through. The sun, rain, road dirt and pollutants from the air can eat away at the finish on your car. After rain falls on your vehicle, the water evaporates, leaving a film of acid. Concentrated by sunlight, this "acid rain" can become so strong that it will "eat" through your car's finish, ruining the vehicle's paint and appearance. Most new cars have a clear coat finish which can easily damaged by acid rain. Even with minimal time outdoors, any clear coat finish will begin to deteriorate after two years. The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays and road wear also damage cars.

You can avoid these damaging effects by visiting a professional car wash often. Autopia uses high pressure water and advanced detergents to remove dirt, salt and other potentially damaging particles from your car's finish, wheels wells and undercarriage. A final fresh water rinse will leave your car spot-free, and blowers or towel-drying will remove excess water.
