Why You Should Clean Your Car More Often During Adelaide’s Rainy Winter

Don’t Let the Rain Fool You – Your Car Still Needs Cleaning!

At Bubble & Squeak Car Detailing, we know Adelaide winters can be soggy, gloomy, and a bit unpredictable. You might think, “It’s raining anyway, my car’s getting washed for free!” But here’s the truth: rain actually makes your car dirtier. That winter drizzle mixes with dirt, grime, and road grease, leaving your paintwork worse off than before.

Here in Adelaide, with our clay-rich soils and coastal air, cars cop a beating in the wet. Add in leaf litter from our beautiful tree-lined streets and the occasional muddy splash from a roadside puddle, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a filthy ride.

Rainwater Isn't Clean – Here’s Why

Rainwater might seem fresh, but it often carries airborne pollutants, especially in urban areas. When rain dries on your car’s surface, it can leave behind water spots and mineral deposits that dull your paint and corrode the finish over time.

Winter rain can also carry contaminants from the road – oils, fuel residue, brake dust – and these get flicked up onto your paint, tyres, and undercarriage as you drive. If not cleaned off properly, this can lead to long-term damage like rust, paint degradation, and worn-out trims.

Protect Your Paint & Prevent Rust

Regular detailing during winter is the best way to protect your car’s paint and bodywork. At Bubble & Squeak, we use premium waxes and sealants to give your car a protective barrier against water and grime.

We also pay extra attention to areas you might overlook – wheel arches, undercarriages, and door seals – all hotspots for trapped moisture and dirt. Keeping these clean prevents corrosion and keeps your vehicle looking schmick all year round.

Interior Matters Too – Wet Weather = Dirty Carpets

Winter isn’t just tough on the outside. Muddy shoes, wet umbrellas, and extra moisture in the air can wreak havoc on your car’s interior. Mouldy smells, stained carpets, and fogged-up windows? No thanks.

Our full interior detailing service tackles all of that – from shampooing carpets to cleaning vents and windows – so your car smells fresh and stays hygienic through the wetter months.

Keep Visibility Clear & Safe

Grime on your windscreen and mirrors can reduce visibility, especially when combined with low winter light and rain. A clean car is a safer car – it’s as simple as that. We clean all glass surfaces streak-free, and our exterior treatments help water bead off faster for clearer driving.
