Vinay Gurav, founder of Heritage Vehicle Owners’ Club gives tips to secure prized possessions from ravages of rain.

CAR SKINCARE
Humidity, moist air and acid rains (rain coming after long spells dissolve industrial gases like sulphur, carbon-dioxide and become acidic) along with bird droppings and hard water are the biggest enemies of your vehicle’s surface finish.
Get your car coated with best available coating (possibly polymer-based coat) as these coats form an invisible shield between the colour and corrosive atmosphere to keep its beauty intact.
Get vehicle’s under-body treated with anti-rust finish (possible with dinitrol-based coat) as under-body of the car is subjected to hammering during rains.
Carpets, seats become wet and start smelling foul. So, once in 10 days get your car cleaned for wet from inside.
A good, strong car deodorant is must to keep fresh atmosphere inside your vehicle.
