Does It Matter If a Car Gets Wet in the Rain?

[TaylorDella]

It's generally fine for a car to be left out in the rain, as the vehicle itself is not afraid of getting wet. However, frequent exposure to rain may require more frequent maintenance of the car's paint. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Effects of getting wet in the rain: Cars that are frequently exposed to sun and rain will age faster, especially parts other than metal and glass, and may need to be replaced earlier. Compared to sunny days, the interior of the car is more prone to moisture and mold after rain, as rainwater can seep into the seams of the car body, causing iron parts to rust and corrode more easily. Therefore, after the rain stops, accumulated moisture should be removed as soon as possible to prevent mold and other issues. 2. What to do after getting wet in the rain: The car should be washed immediately. Some lazy car owners might think that the car is clean after being washed by the rain. In reality, rainwater is acidic, and if the car is not washed again promptly, the rainwater can erode the car's paint.
