Does driving through deep water in the rain affect the car?

[OEleanor]

Driving through deep water in the rain can indeed affect your car in several ways: 1. Damage to the car body: When a vehicle gets wet in the rain, water not only remains on the surface but also seeps into the gaps underneath the car. While driving in the rain, road mud can also splash into these gaps. When rainwater mixes with this mud and dirt, it forms a sticky residue that adheres to the gaps, hiding in hard-to-reach areas. If not cleaned properly, this can lead to rust on the car body. 2. Damage to the paint: Rainwater in urban areas generally has high acidity levels. The acidic components in the rainwater can severely corrode the car's paint, causing long-term damage that may be difficult to repair.
