Can You Wash a Car After It Has Been Exposed to the Sun?
1 Answers
You should not wash a car after it has been exposed to the sun. In summer, when a vehicle is driven under high temperatures, the surface temperature of the car body becomes very high. Washing the car with cold water at this time can cause significant damage to the paint surface, potentially leading to cracking or bubbling of the paint. Washing a car after sun exposure can also affect the internal machinery of the vehicle. The sudden temperature difference may cause metal components to develop cracks, which could impact the normal operation of the car. Additionally, avoid washing the car under direct sunlight or leaving it in the sun after washing. Many car owners believe this helps the car dry faster, but these are actually incorrect practices.
