Protecting Your Investment …Rain or Shine
Here in the Southwest, we assume that acid rain, rock–salted streets and other problem–causing elements are peculiar to the northern or eastern parts of the nation, and that relatively little winterizing of our cars and SUVs is needed. But when bad weather comes, it can bring with it airborne contaminants including corrosive particles carried by raindrops or snowfall. Also damaging are sand, gravel, and the anti–icing/deicing agents and other deposits that soak into road asphalt and get flushed to the surface by rain. The answer: keep your vehicle garaged if possible, and wash it regularly.

Driveway car washing is widely considered a wholesome ritual for those who care about their cars. Yet it's one of the worst things you can do to your car's finish. First, rags and sponges used in the process inevitably become impregnated with tiny grit particles that scratch the paint and clearcoat. And since garden hoses often fail to remove all soap film, soap residue can "bake" into the finish and eat into the paint for days afterward.
