Can Small Hail Damage Car Paint?
1 Answers
No impact. Hail can easily cause many small dents on the car, but it does not affect the car paint and will not cause damage. In hailstorm weather, it is advisable to park the vehicle in a sheltered place, such as an underground garage. If that's not possible, simple coverings like blankets or cotton padding can be used to minimize damage. Hail falling from high altitudes carries significant kinetic energy and can be destructive, potentially damaging the car body and windshield. Below are two effects of hail on car paint: 1. Small hail, less than two centimeters in diameter: For small hail, less than two centimeters in diameter, the impact is minimal. Cars inherently have a certain level of impact resistance, and in most cases, there will be no issues or damage to the car. 2. Larger hail: However, for larger hail, such as the size of a one-yuan coin or bigger, extra caution is needed. These hailstones are heavy and can easily damage the car, causing shattered glass, body dents, and even paint damage.
