It’s Fall Y’all! Hooray! But with the autumn season, things can happen to the paint on your car. A car is a big expense and keeping it up to par can be a job in itself! But many people overlook one of the most important parts of a car: the paint. To protect your car from fall weather, here are five tips that can help improve and maintain the appearance of your vehicle:
First of all, humidity is unavoidable in the state of Wisconsin. Autumn brings with it the arrival of a sometimes-unpredictable rainy season. Although humidity itself is not a problem, corrosion that can come from it is. It is necessary to keep tabs on the surface of your car. Things like dents, scratches, and other imperfections can look small, but moisture can aggravate them and cause possible paint issues to get worse.
Dry leaves, while it is fun to jump in, can also cause corrosion. Leaves will fall during autumn and many of them will land on our parked cars. Try your hardest to remove them to help prevent them from accumulating on the surface of your car. They can also get wet and sticky, which can cause a whole source of other issues as well.
Parking under trees is not a good idea during this season either. Dry branches that can fall to the ground can also bring exterior issues. Animals that live in trees give us gifts (if you even want to call it that) that can damage the paint of your car. If that happens, it is necessary to clean up as soon as possible to avoid any more issues.
It goes without saying that you should keep the exterior of your car as clean as possible. Perhaps the key to bodywork maintenance is to stop here at Schmit Bros to check the possible issues that may not be visible but are there. We have a body shop for all of those needs! If you’re interested in getting your car checked out for any possible damage or body shop issues, stop into the Schmit Bros Body Shop or call our manager Mark at (262) 284-1945. He and his team will be happy to help you figure out a plan of attack today!
