Summer brings longer days, travel, heat… and also intense and sudden rains, typical of the season. Although refreshing, these impacts can cause a lot of inconvenience to the vehicle when adequate care is not taken.

The combination of water, humidity and dirt leads to infiltrations, bad smells, mold in the interior and even damage to car components. Therefore, adopting a prevention routine is essential to keep the vehicle protected during the rainy season.

Check out the main tips for facing summer rains with more safety and care:

Pay attention to vehicle drainage: many drivers don’t know, but the car has drainage channels responsible for draining rainwater, especially on the windshield, doors and sunroof. When these ducts are blocked by leaves, dust or debris, water can end up going where it shouldn’t, resulting in infiltrations inside.

Regularly check the water outlets

Remove accumulated leaves and dirt

In case of infiltration, seek specialized assistance

Waxes and Silicones: another effective form of protection is the use of automotive waxes and silicones, which create a protective layer on paint, glass and rubber. These products help:

Reduce water accumulation

Prevent stains on the bodywork

Protect against dirt brought by rain

Facilitate cleaning after storms

Essential car interior care: humidity is one of the great villains of the automotive interior. Wet carpets, damp clothes and even poorly sanitized air conditioning can generate mold and unpleasant odors. To avoid this problem:

Remove wet carpets whenever possible

Dry the interior after heavy rain

Keep the car airy

Periodically clean surfaces
