Does ash damage car paint?

Does ash damage car paint? That is definitely a valid question here in SoCal where we face widespread wild fires. Most of us have had ash cover our cars at some point and those of us living in the hills have probably experienced it more than others. While some experts argue that ash that is completely dry will not harm the cars paint job, most also agree that cleaning the car as soon as possible is very important. That is because if the ash becomes moist due to rain, fog, or higher air humidity, the chemical structure of ash can change and become corrosive. This corrosive composition can become detrimental to the cars paint and cause irreversible damage. 

Therefor, if wild fires are raging in your area, make sure your car isn't exposed to ash for too long.

Interior Auto Detailing

The summer heat is gone but the resulting dryness has unfortunately dealt us devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and California overall. At Overland Carwash we offer detailing services to combat the aftermath of wildfires, especially that of the resulting ash.
Unlike regular mud and sand, ash can be finer than dust and much of it gets into the car when doors and windows are open. The slow but gradual accumulation may become visible after a while on darker interior colors as they start getting grey.
