It is harmful for a car to be exposed to rain for a long time. The hazards of prolonged exposure to rain include: 1. Bacterial growth: The air humidity is high after rain, and the interior of the car is usually damp, which can easily breed bacteria and affect human health. 2. Potential accidents: After being exposed to rain, mud can accumulate in the wheel cavities and undercarriage areas, allowing moisture to hide inside the chassis, leading to rust. In severe cases, the wheel cavities may even loosen or perforate, which can cause safety hazards. The undercarriage, especially the brakes, may experience reduced braking force due to moisture, resulting in delayed brake response. This can affect the car's performance and even lead to safety accidents.

Will Clay Bar Damage Car Paint?

When used correctly, clay bars will not damage car paint. They are composed of ultra-fine fibers and solid adhesives that undergo repeated intensive mixing, giving them characteristics of being fine and sticky. Clay bars should be used with clean water or lubricant. Before cleaning the car body, rinse off surface dust and dirt with water. Knead the clay bar into an appropriate size and shape, then evenly spray clean water or lubricant on both the area to be cleaned and the clay bar. Use your hand to guide the clay bar in orderly back-and-forth motions across the cleaning area. If the clay bar leaves marks on the car, it may be due to excessive pressure, insufficient lubrication, a dirty clay bar surface, poor wrapping ability, or large particles on the paint surface.
