It is okay to cover the car with a car cover on rainy days, but it is not good for the car. Here are the relevant details: 1. The function of a car cover: Avoid scratches on the car paint when parked for a long time. It prevents corrosion from insect droppings, tree sap, acid rain, etc.; it is not meant for rain protection, and the car paint itself is not afraid of water—heavy rain can even wash the car. 2. Additional information: The car paint surface can be corroded, dampened, and develop mold. In China, pollution is widespread, and some areas suffer from severe pollution, making most rain acid rain. Therefore, rain exposes the car paint to acid rain, which can corrode the paint, leading to rain marks, oxidation, and even cracking. Compared to sunny days, the interior of the car is more prone to dampness and mold after rain. Additionally, rainwater can seep into the car body seams during rainy days, causing iron parts to rust and corrode. Therefore, after the rain stops, accumulated moisture should be removed as soon as possible to prevent mold and other issues.
