Now, your car needs extra protection as there are high chances these surfaces will

• Receive unwanted marks,

• Go through wear and tear from these rains

Following are the Prime issues and there easy solutions

1. Car Paint Protection

At first glance, it looks so good that your car is getting washed by the rains.

But the truth is, rainwater itself is contaminated.

The water drops get mixed with airborne particles and dust, turning the rains into acid rains. This harmful mix up is although not visible, but as soon as the rain stops, these droplets start getting deep onto the surface.

And when the surface gets dried by the moisture of air or even a partial sunlight, then these contaminants start their work. They:

• Damage your car’s paint

• Reduce the shine of car’s body

• Scars and Spots emerge

Even more happens, while you are driving.

The mud and grime that gets thrown on the exterior while driving through water clogged areas, are prime things that directly impact the doors and the metal body exposed outside. When left unattended, these mud spots may even start corrosion of the car’s body.

Easy Solution:

• We recommend you to apply a globally recommended and approved RPT based world class exterior paint protection product by Permagard India. Tested in extreme condition it saves the car’s exterior from corrosion and repels airborne contaminants.

• Please don’t use car cover during rainy seasons when you are parking in the open. These covers get stuck to the car coating and may even damage the car paint and body

• Whenever leaving for work in your car, its beneficial to clean your car with a soft cloth that removes the dust and dirt from the car’s body

It’s all about your feet.

Be it your shoes, or sandals, or slippers. The dirt gets stuck on wet and muddy shoes and the moment you step in the car your shoes rest on the floor carpet laid below your feet.

Simply saying, water and dirt:

• Damage the carpets and flooring of your car cabin

• Cause foul smell inside

• Gives space to germs and bacteria

Easy Solution:

• Use Old Newspapers. Spread these newspapers on the floor above the mat. Newspapers absorb water very quickly and are cheap to buy too. And replace these newspapers every week.

• It is advisable to use fabric mats in place of rubber mats, during the rainy season.

3. Car Cabin

Your car cabin is the home of your car where you spend a good amount of time.

You stop at the traffic signal and there are toxic fumes getting in. And even you are accompanied by your family and friends for a journey during which time you carry a lot of your objects.

During monsoon, the interiors of your car are also equally exposed to moisture, water and germs.

It happens while you enter your car with wet clothes and you also use the dashboard and seats to put belongings that are drenched due to rain. This causes:

• High Level of Moisture

• Foul Smell of belongings

• Germ Build up in the air you breathe inside your car

• Bacteria on Steering wheel

• Common cold and flu to the driver and people inside

• Eye irritation and skin irritation due to growth of mold and mildew inside the car

Easy Solution:

• Use a strong Antimicrobial Shield, like that of Permagard. This protective shield is capable of pushing out 800 microscopic organisms. Even better, it eradicates viruses and bacteria with 99.99% efficiency. Plus, it fights against SARS based viruses too. This ultra strong protective car coating lasts long.

• Put a cover on the belongings you carry in the car. Having objects covered up, protects the interiors from getting moisture and foul smell.

• Clean your interior cabin once every week. Major focus should be given on the dashboard, seats, steering wheel, etc.

• Cover your seats with towels, as these soak up the wetness that’s there on your clothes.

4. Wipers and Washers

Wiper blades of cars get onto a nonstop duty during monsoons.

The windshield of a car gets a high amount of flowing water, dust particles, tree leaves, etc. during rains. And to its rescue are the wipers and washers deployed at the front.

The rubber lining of wiper blades wears away with time and use, and the washers that work in sync are supplied the fluid by the wiper washer bottle. The role of wiper washer bottle is equally important to ensure that the driver gains a spotless view of the windshield glass.

Frequent accidents and injuries during monsoon take place majorly because of blurred line of sight and the fog that gets formed on the windshield.

Easy Solution:

• Add a small quantity of mild detergent or soap solution along with water, in the wiper washer bottle. It helps a lot during this season, and provides a clean windshield for better visibility. What’s important is, you must keep this bottle topped up with wiper fluid, during the monsoons.

• Get your wiper blades checked. If they are leaving marks during cleaning, then it’s advisable to get them changed.

5. Car Tyres

Tyre have the power to make or break your game during the rainy season.

It’s because tyres lose pressure during the rainy season.

And the grip of tyres ensures your safety while driving. Let us tell how.

On the tyres what you see as a rubber pattern on the circumference, is known as the Tyre Tread.

This tread comes into contact with the road or the ground and provides:

• A Smooth Driving Experience

• High Directional Stability, and

• Less Rolling Resistance

That’s the reason why any improper alignment in the tyre tread can lead to major mishaps.

On the other hand the air pressure in your car tyres, gains utmost importance during rains.

Easy Solution:

• Take a 5 rupee coin and insert it in the middle of the tyre tread. Now, if the lower rim is not visible, then it means, the tyre is in good shape. And if the lower rim is fully visible and doesn’t go in, then it’s time to get a tyre checkup.

• Keep your car tyres inflated with the right air pressure. Remember, you must get all the 4 tyres inflated.

• Check your spare tyre that you keep at the back. It’s better to get it inflated too. And, keep your spares ready for any unforeseen emergency.

6. Battery and Fuse

Batteries play a big role when it comes to using AC, wipers and lights of cars during this season.

When driving through areas with deep waters, the electric components can experience shorting and in some cases they may get permanently damaged.

Electrical connections and opening like battery terminals are highly vulnerable to corrosion, when touched by water.

And when it comes to wires and fuses, those wires that have got even a little cut will come into contact with water and as a result they are subjected to a short circuit.

Believe us, getting stranded when it’s raining outside will irritate you.

Easy Solution:

• Get your battery checked by the battery repair mechanic. And also check the duration for which the battery was in use. If this duration has crossed 3 years, then it’s’ time for a new battery.

• Also get the wires in the fuse and circuit checked and repaired in advance.

7. Headlight and Tail lights

Visibility is an issue you’ll face during monsoons.

Even if you own big headlamps, they too shall need an inspection.

India has got a diversity of routes- narrow lanes to rocky roads and super expressways. All of them face multiple issues when it rains incessantly.

So, at any time when you cross these routes during rain showers, you are likely to get issues of fog formation on your headlamps, turn indicators and tail lights.

More so, sometimes an undetected leak or opening, gives way to water getting inside the glass panel of lights.

• Cracks in the headlamp and

• Fogging are pertinent issues

• Heavy rains and overcast clouds hamper the visibility.

Easy Solution:

• Check for the leaks and cracks, on the glass of headlights, tail lights and indicators. Get them repaired or replaced as the case may be.

• Also check the brightness of lights every time you leave for a trip.

8. Underbody

Underbody of a car is exposed to most wear and tear.

FYI: Underbody  is that part of the car which is underneath the main body of the car. Chassis, tail pipe, drive shaft, air outlet pipe, etc. are some of the components that form the underbody.

Muddy water, stones, grease, grime and potholes are the prime sources of particles that get stuck to the underbody of a car.

These unwanted particles give way to corrosion and rust formation of the underbody components. In the long run, car maintenance proves to be pretty expensive for you.

Easy Solution:

• Ask the repair service firm to check for rust and corrosion of the underbody parts. And also ask them to perform checks for any breaks or cracks down there.

• Get the underbody washed and treated by expert mechanic

Slippery roads and car brakes aren’t good friends.

Brakes lose a bit of efficiency while plying on wet roads, and when left unchecked before the monsoon starts playing its game, you and your car will experience many unexpected twists.

Some of these twists may even land you up at a hospital.

Your car may even be skidding on turns when the brakes are not in proper shape. Please don’t think of it to be another drift straight from the movie Tokyo Drift.

Easy Solution:

• Start your car and let it be in this mode for 3-4  minutes. Then use your brakes to assess the strength of the grip your brake has to offer.

• You can also get your brakes checked by an expert mechanic asap.

10. AC Cleaning

Often the moisture inside your car air conditioner leads to fungus growth.

AC comes in handy during the rainy season, because it helps in defogging of windows and windshield. This gives you a better visibility and you get to assess the distance of cars ahead of you and the cars behind you.

Easy Solution:

• Its advisable to use Antimicrobial Shield by Permagard, that stops the growth of and pushes out pathogens, micro organisms, fungi and bacteria from the AC

• AC Vents and AC Filter need cleansing. So, an arguably good option is to ask the mechanic to perform AC cleaning and testing during the car servicing.

Before you get confused with the technicalities involved in car paint protection, let us understand car paint coating in detail. 

What is Car paint coating? 

Car paint protection or car paint coating is one of the same things. It is a thin and invisible layer of paint, sealant or wax-like substance that is applied, on new cars, in particular, to ensure their protection from minor scratches, scrapes, grime, bird droppings, contaminants, etc. It acts as a shield that protects your car’s paint and makes it look shiny and new for a long time ensuring utmost car care.

Let us now understand the advantages of Car paint coating.

As mentioned earlier, car coating retains the swanky looks of your new vehicle. It also lends it some shine which makes your car look new for an extended period.  

An added benefit of this function is that since your car looks new and expensive, it ends up having a better resale value. Appearance is of great importance to buyers who are looking for used cars. Paint protection helps you tick that checkbox, thereby ensuring your car looks new and appealing to the potential buyer. 

Getting paint coating can also be money saving. It is because this protective layer helps your car protect from small damages against scratches, contaminants, etc. It cuts down the need of running to the showroom every time minor damage is there.

Thanks to the materials and components of the paints, they attract lesser dust and dirt which ensures good car care. It makes your car easier to clean and maintain. This protective coat layer is so secure that it also prevents possible damage caused due to exposure of UV rays to your car’s surface.

Apart from all the functional benefits it provides, the best part about paint coating is that it is an invisible layer. It ensures that you don’t have to compromise on how your car looks and that your favourite surface color remains intact. 

Car paint protection is available in many types. Let us understand each one of them in detail. 

Types of car paint protection: 

Wax: 

Wax is the oldest type of car paint protection that exists. It involves the usage of industrial wax, extracted from Palm trees, mixed with oils and sealants to provide paint coating on cars. This concoction is used to create a layer of protection for car care.

While wax has stood the test of time, it faces criticism for its sticky consistency and the inability to last long. Its sticky texture is also known to attract dust, thereby defeating the primary purpose. It also has a very low melting point.

Synthetic paints: 

As the name suggests, these paints are entirely synthetic. Known for the mirror-like shine and luster they provide, synthetic paints have gained popularity in the recent past. They contain proprietary polymers which also enhances the protection they provide. 

While synthetic paints are more long-lasting than wax, they require a regular touch-up. Its application time is also extremely long. The chemical components are sensitive to environmental factors which is why it does not offer car care for solid protection against UV rays, winds, rains, etc. 

Ceramic car coating: 

Ceramic car coating entails the application of a liquid on your car surface that eventually solidifies. It is chemical-heavy therefore offers water-resistance by chemical bonding. It acts as a protective layer and shields against water, dust, UV rays, winds, rains, etc. It is a thick, transparent and anti-static layer. 

Ceramic’s most significant advantage is the reliable paint coat protection it offers against water, which is often a significant source of damage to cars. Despite the benefits, ceramic is a costly affair. There are cheaper alternatives available that serve the same purpose. It is incredibly time-consuming and needs close monitoring.

As we have discussed, despite all the technological advancement, the alternatives mentioned above fail to fit the bill as they come with various disadvantages. 

With so many options available, how do you decide which alternative will best suit your car? While some options promise appearance, others guarantee protection but do we have an option that provides maintenance and functionality? 

The market is full of numerous options for you to choose from when it comes to the selection of car paint protection. One of the many alternatives to consider is Permagard.

It can lead to long-lasting stains and scratches on the surface of your car. It can also cause corrosion of the car’s exterior paint over some time. This makes the shine of your car dull. The paint may also chip off and can cause further damage.

Car owners are increasingly opting for protective products or films for protecting car paint. People are considering reactive polymer, car waxing, polishing, and paint protection films, vinyl wraps and ceramic or nano paints to protect the colour and gloss of their cars.

Car dealers are selling out a variety of car detailing products with lavish promises. This gives rise to a significant question. Which out of all these available products is best for your car?

We will discuss three main protection measures for car paint-

• Reactive polymer
• Car Wax
• Car films

Let us see if we can conclude the usage and vitality of any one of them.

Reactive Polymer

Reactive Polymer is a crystal-clear coating that chemically bonds to your vehicle’s paint to become a new surface. A reactive Polymer coating, which is very popular these days, is a clear coat that includes a liquid polymer. The polymer forms a chemical bond with the car’s factory paint. Once coated, it cannot be removed by any chemicals.

The polymer coating can protect the car from scratches, dirt, and contaminants. Polymer coating also doesn’t have any side-effects on the original paint. The resulting protective layer offers an ultra-smooth, high gloss, and resistant coating.

This coating acts as a shield between harmful contaminants and the paint. Since it combines the coating with paint by a strong chemical bond, the protection stays strong even under harsh circumstances.

Here are some points that support the notion of reactive polymer being the best car coating treatment. It can be applied to both new or old car, but it is recommended to apply to the newly bought cars.

Advantages

• These polymers are Super Hydrophobic in nature. Their water-repellant nature reduces cleaning time. It also extends times between needed washes.
• They are UV resistant and thus preserve the colour from fading and oxidation.
• Reactive Polymer extends paint life, as it covers the paint with a protective layer.
• It increases the curb appeal of your car and maintains a high gloss finish.
• If done correctly, the protective coating can last the lifetime of the car.

Car wax

Car waxes are solid hydrocarbons in the form of waxes. Most of the waxes are in solid form, so you cannot directly apply them to your car. Moreover, car wax can literally destroy expensive cars. If you own a luxury car, it would be better to skip the application of car wax. Instead, reactive polymer technology preserves the surface of luxury cars.

Disadvantages

• Wax melts at high temperature thus dust and dirt particles get easily stuck, damaging the paint.
• Wax builds up over time on the car’s surface layer by layer. Over time, scratches dull the exposed finish. 
• The length of protection is not more than 6 weeks.

Paint Protection Films or PPFs

Paint Protection Film or a PPF is a urethane film made from a thermoplastic compound. You can apply it to painted surfaces of a new or used car to protect the paint or can even be applied to the exterior portion of the car. Anywhere if you suspect the possibility of scratches or stains and abrasions, you can get the PPFs applied.

This increases the amount of time you spend on paint protection. Every time you forget to cover a portion of paint with a PPF film, it can get damaged. On the other hand, reactive polymer proposes a more convenient scheme. Paint protection films are a rather outdated method of paint protection.

Disadvantages

• Professional vehicle wraps come at a very expensive price.
• In addition, the films can start wearing after 2 to 3 years when subjected to strong sun, debris, and weather.
• The PPFs or the Vinyl wraps are good for cars with factory paint jobs. If you have repainted your car or it has a corroded surface, the vinyl wrap may not adhere well and will lead to wrinkling, or and bubbling.

Everybody wants to keep his or her cars shiny and glossy like the new. Considering all the pros and cons, the PFFs and car wax do not stand a chance against the latest reactive polymer technology. The polymer coating, when used, lasts longer than any wax.

It is more scratch-resistant and has superior UV protection. Even the strong rays of the Sun will not be able to oxidize the car paint under extreme conditions. Reactive Polymer coatings also have great hydrophobic strength, which is not present in the films or waxes.

To conclude, whatever be your requirements, you can always rely on Permagard. We lead the world in the technology of paint protection. Our Polymer Coating will prevent paint oxidation from the sun and other elements. Thus, it will go a long way in protecting your car from rust and general deterioration.

The Permagard treatment for your car uses an eco-friendly reactive polymer that is suitable for all types of vehicles. You can directly apply it to your car’s surface. It provides durable protection and maintains a long-lasting shine on any painted surface. These are some of the factors that reinforce the consideration of Reactive Polymer technology as the best car coating treatment.

Protecting the car’s exterior

The tires are one of the most important parts of a car. They should be always checked before driving the car and must contain the correct pressure so that the car will run smoothly, without any problems. Without periodic pumping of the tires, they wear out faster as they take in more damage than they can intake. Tires contain the correct amount of pressure, usually. Negligence leads to an imbalance in pressure.

The tires’ condition also affects the mileage of the car, as the underinflated tires use up more gas to power the car and run it on the road than the tires that are been inflated.

The air filter in the car’s engine also needs changing and cleaning. The changing time of the air filter is different for different cars and all the information is available in the manual book of the car. If the car is being used for driving in harsh conditions and the car is rode at place where there is a lot of dust, grains, gravel, dirt road, etc then it will be better if the air filter is changed before the time given in the manual as the time given in the manual is a calculated number that is only if the car is driven at a normal road or area.
