Leaves Leave A Scratch On Your Car
By Drenit Sadiku, September 27, 2018
Summer is officially over and Fall has arrived. A wonderful time for scenic drives and spooky Halloween movies and costumes. But, we forgot the spookiest sight of all. A ruined paint job. As the leaves begin to shed, they find themselves planted on top of your car. What you probably didn’t know is that they’re actually damaging to your car.
What You Need To Know
Leaves contain acidic substances like sap and pollen that can leach into the outer coating of paint on your car. With the warm days and cool nights of autumn, the metal exterior beneath the paint expands and contracts. This warming and cooling lets even more acid in which then deteriorates the paint, leaving leaf-shaped stains over the body of your car. When the leaves are wet or rotting, this process is escalated even further. As they fall, leaves can also scratch your fresh paint job, leaving small micro-abrasions that leave your car susceptible to rust, water damage, and… well… more leaves. Leaves piling up on your car can even clog your air conditioning systems or exhaust pipes causing further damage to your vehicle. If the leaves begin to rot while stuck inside your car’s parts, they become even more difficult to remove and start to leave an unpleasant smell. Therefore, it’s crucial to remove leaves as soon as you see them on your car. Just be sure you do so with care — vigorously brushing leaves off of your car can leave scratches as well.
