Protect Your Ride: Why Cool, Rainy Weather in Pittsburgh Calls for a Detailing

Hello Pittsburgh drivers!

As we approach the end of May, Pittsburgh's weather has taken a cooler and rainier turn.  With temperatures hovering in the mid-50s and light rain showers becoming more frequent, it's easy to think your car can wait for a spring cleaning.  However, this is precisely the time to give your vehicle the attention it deserves.


🌧️ Why Cool, Wet Weather Matters for Your Car

The recent nor'easter that swept through the Northeast has left its mark on Pittsburgh, bringing not only cooler temperatures but also persistent rain.  This combination can lead to:

  • Road Salt Residue: Even in late spring, remnants of road salt from winter can cling to your vehicle, accelerating corrosion if not properly cleaned.
  • Dirt and Grime Buildup: Continuous rain can wash contaminants onto your car's surface, leading to a dull finish and potential paint damage.
  • Interior Moisture: Damp conditions can cause interior materials to absorb moisture, leading to musty odors and potential mold growth.
