At Traffik Car Wash we love providing you with the best service and a vehicle you’re proud to drive around. However, if you do notice spots on your windows that are stubborn and just won’t budge even after a towel dry, here are a few possible issues that you should keep in mind.
Where you store your vehicle can have a very big impact on the spots you see on your car. If you do not have a garage or enclosed shelter for your car it is best to make sure your car is covered. Covering your car can avoid water exposure including acid rain and this could be a significant contributor to the development of spots on your exterior.
Acid rain/ deposition is the term used for precipitation with acidic components, such as sulphuric or nitric acid that may fall to the ground out of the atmosphere in both wet and dry from. These forms can include rain, fog, hail or even dust.
The acidic effect of acid rain can easily damage the paint on your car. Taking your car for regular washes can help get rid of the damage on your exterior. A clay bar treatment can also help target paint oxidation, overspray & acid rain build up that can be damaging if left over time.
Other reasons you may be seeing spots on your car may include:
- Driving through a high polluted environment where acid rain is prone to form.
- If you live near the ocean, salt accumulation from saltwater particles can also be the route of the problem.
- Mineral buildup caused from exposure to a non-filtered water source might be the damaging cause.
- Lastly, if the paint on your vehicle is of poor condition or older, oxidation might have occurred. This is when the paint of your vehicle is degenerating and becomes porous for attracting materials.
All of these elements can leave your vehicle with spots and stains that can be extremely hard to get rid of. A simple Traffik clay bar and wax process can help you get rid of these stubborn spots and stains. These products target oxidation and other surface contaminants and will leave your car with a lasting shine and protection.
What should you do if you can’t come down to Traffik Car Wash after potential exposure to the above mentioned elements?
Keep a towel handy and make sure that you dry up your car after exposure to ensure minimal build up.
Owning a car can be a pain especially if you have so many different elements to take care of to ensure that your car is in the best possible condition. That’s why we’re here! At Traffik, we want to make sure you can sit back, relax and forget about all of your worries while we take the best possible care of your vehicle.
