We also have monsoon bike and car care bundle curated for this monsoon season.

Let’s now dive into the monsoon care tips for your car.

Quite evidently, the exterior of a car takes on the monsoon weather the most with dirt, debris, and rainfall continuously falling upon it. So, you should always take care of the exterior of the car before anything else.

It is probably the simplest advice but it is truly effective. Cleaning your car after driving in the rain helps you get rid of the leaves, twigs, dirt, and other contaminants that could damage your car quickly. You should wipe down your car as soon as you have the time or a quick wash will keep away any dirt or debris. If you have your car parked out in the open, you should clean and wipe your car down every morning to avoid a build-up of leaves and twigs that could damage the paint job on your vehicle.

                             

One of the best ways to keep your car looking as good as new, even after a torrential downpour, is to use a car wax. This will keep moisture and rain away from your original paint job. car polish forms a protective layer between the rain and the paint on your car.

                         

If your car does not come with an automatic defogger, you should turn on the blower and have it set to maximum with the setting on Fresh Air mode. By turning the vents directly to the windshield, it will quickly defog the glass and allow you to see the road clearly. 

                         

The underbody of a car is made from metal and is exposed to dirt, water, and other elements continuously which is why it should be protected even more. A combination of used engine oil and diesel is perfect for keeping the underbody of the car rust-free. This mixture also forms a protective layer on the metal and keeps dirt away from any moving parts.

The monsoon season can also affect the interior of your vehicle leading to dampness and mold growth. To prevent this, keep the car’s interior clean and dry. Use a humidifier to absorb any moisture that may accumulate. you can also consider using a microfiber cloth to remove the dampness.

                         

                                 

Follow the aforementioned and recommended guidelines to make your driving smooth and safe during the rainy season.

Some parts such as the chain drive can be affected by the deposits of mud and water. Some of the bikes come with a full chain covering while the rest have an open chain cover that leaves the chain exposed to mud and water. Now there are two things that can cause trouble, one is water that washes away the lubricant from the chain and second is deposition of dirt (mud) that increases the rate of wear. So, cleaning and lubing of the drive chain becomes essential after every 500km.
