Express Exterior Car Washes in Redford
Does Rainwater Clean Your Car?
If you’ve been putting off taking your vehicle to the car wash, you may feel a bit of relief when you see that it’s begun to rain. However, you should still make sure to get your vehicle washed at your earliest convenience, as rain isn’t as great a cleaning agent as you might think.

Does Rainwater Hurt Your Car?
Rainwater is good for removing loose dirt and grime, but it’s ineffective in getting your car truly clean. It often leaves behind pollutants and other residue, not giving it the same luster as if you were to take it into a car wash. In addition, rainwater often contains leftover chemicals it absorbed in the atmosphere that can potentially damage your finish, such as:
- Dissolved gases
- Airborne particles like dust and pollen
- Some bacteria and other chemicals
- Sulfuric or nitric acid in acid rain
Do I Need To Wash My Car After it Rains?
Because of the way rainwater collects pollutants, you should make sure to get a car wash after it rains, especially if your car was dirty before. Not only can you get the exterior cleaned to prevent any long-term damage to its appearance, you can also perform additional activities such as:
- Cleaning the undercarriage, which is usually not even touched by the rain
- Get a wax layer on your vehicle to prevent any long-term damage from the effects of rainwater and other contaminants
