Can I Cover My Car with a Car Cover When It's Wet After Rain?

You can directly cover your car with a car cover after it gets wet from rain, but it's not good for the car. The main purpose of a car cover is to protect the car paint from scratches or corrosion caused by insect residues, tree sap, acid rain, etc., during long-term parking; it's not meant for rain protection. Moreover, car paint itself is not afraid of water, and heavy rain can even serve as a car wash. Below are the hazards of leaving your car exposed to rain: 1. Moisture and Mold: Compared to sunny days, the interior of the car is more prone to moisture and mold after rain. At the same time, rainwater can seep into the car body through seams, causing iron parts to rust and corrode easily. Therefore, after the rain stops, accumulated moisture should be removed as soon as possible to prevent mold and other issues. 2. Rainwater Getting into Headlights: When water enters the headlights, it can affect their brightness. A significant amount of water may even damage the headlights and alter the direction of light refraction, posing a safety hazard for driving.
