As winter takes hold on the Midwest, many of us are already looking forward to summer. If cars were sentient\u2014thought for themselves, that is\u2014they may be thinking the same. At best, winter weather and the chemicals applied to roadways are challenging for your vehicle\u2019s exterior. At worst, the treatments on roadways, excessive moisture, and road grime may fade or destroy paint and weaken metal parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a few regions in the United States that are known for their mild climates and lack of extreme weather conditions, which can be beneficial for a car’s exterior. These areas include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
California:<\/strong> Many parts of the Golden State have a Mediterranean climate, which typically means mild winters and warm summers. This can help prevent rust and corrosion on a car’s body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The Southwest:<\/strong> The Southwest region, including states like Arizona and New Mexico, also have mild winters and warm summers. The dry climate will help prevent rust and corrosion on a car’s body, but the near-constant sun may fade paint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The Pacific Northwest:<\/strong> The Pacific Northwest region, including states like Washington and Oregon, have mild climates and a lack of extreme heat. This can help prevent paint fading and other issues related to excessive heat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If these areas have one thing in common, it’s less frequent extreme weather events. The tornados, severe thunderstorms, hurricanes and winter weather that plague other parts of the country, all increase the likelihood of damaging your car’s exterior. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it\u2019s worth noting that some of the mild regions mentioned above do see heavy rainfall, which can cause rust on the car’s undercarriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
