What to Do If It Rains the Next Day After Car Crystal Coating?
2 Answers
Solutions if it rains the next day after car crystal coating: If the car gets wet in the rain, rinse it with clean water promptly and then use a dry towel to absorb the moisture. Below are the benefits of crystal coating: 1. Scratch Resistance: Crystal coating protects the vehicle from minor daily scratches. Even when external force exceeds the elastic protection range of the coating, it usually only leaves scratches on the coating without damaging the paint. 2. Oxidation Prevention: Crystal coating isolates the paint from the external environment, effectively preventing oxidation and resisting corrosion from bird droppings, insect residues, acid rain, etc. 3. Easy Cleaning: Crystal coating makes the car paint shine like a mirror, making the body easy to clean and maintain. A simple rinse with water can restore its shine, saving a lot on car washing costs.
Last time I had my car coated with crystal, it also happened to rain. Actually, it's not a big deal. The coating needs enough time to dry and solidify after application. Rainwater may leave some watermarks, but it won't completely ruin the coating. The key is to quickly wipe off the rainwater with a soft towel, especially on flat surfaces like the hood and roof where water tends to accumulate. Avoid washing or touching the car for the next three days. After a full week, if rain marks are still visible, you can have the detailing shop polish it to fix the issue. Try to park indoors whenever possible, or use a car cover if parked outside to keep dust away. My car has been coated for almost half a year now, and water still beads up perfectly when it rains. Don't worry too much about it.
