Chuva e carro, quais os problemas que a chuva pode causar no carro, como resolvê-los ou evitá-los?

Many people don't know this, but rainwater has an acidity level that, when it falls on paintwork, forms those tiny droplets. The water evaporates, but the acid remains on the paint and car windows. Over time, this acid causes stains, like a bunch of little dots on the car, burning the varnish and glass. Acid rain isn't very aggressive, but with repeated occurrences, the damage can be significant. The stains are more visible on cars with darker paint, but those on the glass are noticeable on any vehicle.
On the windshield, the dirty droplets of acid rain that remain stuck to the glass make cleaning difficult and reduce the lifespan of the wiper blades.

So, what can be done to prevent this from happening?

To avoid stains, contrary to what many people think, it is indeed important to wash your car on rainy days and apply a good protective wax. The wax will repel water, helping to prevent these rain stains; it won't permanently prevent them, but it will help repel water and reduce the possibility of stains. If you couldn't wash your car before the rainy season, wash it immediately after the rain to prevent the acid from remaining on the paint and windows of your car, causing stains that can become irreversible.

But what if I already have the spots, is there a solution?

Depending on the severity of the stains, the solution may be to have the paintwork polished by specialized professionals using appropriate techniques. There are also specific products and techniques for removing stains from glass.
