Taking care of your car becomes crucial during the rainy season. Giving extra attention to your car's maintenance can go a long way in ensuring its performance. Raindrops on the windshield can also cause low visibility, thus, ensuring that your windshield wipers are in good condition becomes a must-do task. Keep your car's exterior clean to prevent the accumulation of dirt and grime that can lead to rusting.

Here's a list of things that you should regularly keep checking as the monsoon season continues.

Raindrops damaging the exterior

Raindrops can damage your car's shiny exterior by accumulating dirt and debris, which can dull the shiny finish of your car. It's crucial to keep washing your car with simple water to remove dirt and then give the car's exterior a coat of wax. This will protect the paint job on your car and deflect the raindrops.

Damaged wiper blades

When it rains, a car's wiper blades assist you to have clear visibility. Therefore, your windscreen may get spots if you have worn-out wiper blades. Make sure to regularly clean your car's wipers after a rainstorm and have them in good working condition. Keep an eye on the wiper blades for signs of damage and replace them if they appear to be ineffective.

Foggy headlights and taillights

It's essential to check the car's headlights and taillights in the monsoon season to make sure that they are functioning properly because they help in illuminating the roads and are necessary for signalling other drivers, especially when visibility is poor. Check if the indicators are working properly and if they are not and seem foggy, make sure to clean them before using your car.

Malfunctioning brakes

You need to take your car's brake functionality into consideration, as the grip reduces on wet roads, particularly during the monsoon season. If you want to avoid risks make sure everything functions properly and if it doesn't, get the defective components fixed.
