    I always give a morning shower for my car before going to the office so that it looks fresh and good every morning.

    protecting your car during the rainy season is easily said than done. 1. keep your car clean at all times, even though it is raining its still a must to wash your car in the evening after using it, so the grime it got during the whole day of use would not stick to the paint. 2. some would say waxing during the rainy season would do no good. but actually its the opposite. when you wax your car, it is protected from oxidation, and the elements, so waxing at least once a week with a non abrasive or lightly abrasive wax or polish would do the finish good by making it smooth and more resistant to oxidation and the elements 3. find a nice place with a roof to park, it would help to keep your car dry and cool. forget parking underneath a tree because trees just like birds has droppings (tree sap) that is acidic and would do the paint more harm than good. 4. lastly don't forget to keep the car clean in the inside as well. a clean car inside and out reveals the personality of the owner, a dirty car means a dirty minded owner, and a bad car master.

    I protect my car from the elements of rainy season by having it carwashed everytime it gets dirt, putting wax on it after washing,and of course have a clean and roof guarded garage. This is all my answer. THANK YOU GERRY

    I have my car washed and underwashed atleast once a week so no dirt would accumulate from the rain and hazards of the manila roads.

    Rain in the Philippines comes and go, all you have to do is to have a good discipline in keeping your car clean after the rain.

    Keep it simple...wash your car immediately everytime you return to your car garage.All the dirt and grime that is left onto the vehicle hardens and hurts the paint badly.

    It's either I would not drive while it's "pouring cats and dogs" or I'll bring along a huge umbrella and hold it up on my car while my girl drives.

    i leave my car in the house then hitch a ride with my dad or stay at my friend's pad near school.

    Its pretty simple to protect your car from the elements of the rainy season... hide it in the garage or maybe cover it with something...

    I protect my car from the elements during rainy season by covering it with a decent car cover and having it waxed beforehand so that water will just drip away and not stick on the paint.
