How To Protect Your Vehicle From Colour & Other Damages On Holi

Holi, the festival of colour, is arguably one of India’s most loved event. It signifies love and positivity. As you may know, this festival involves playing with water and colours. While it is gun to do so with family, it can also be a concern for your vehicle. The reason for this is that removing any stains from the vehicle can be extremely tedious. However, nobody would want to spend such a festival worrying about their car all the time. Even though, you may have financial protection like car insurance or two wheeler insurance, wouldn’t it be better if your vehicle is not damaged at all?

Hence, it is better to plan ahead to protect your vehicle from such stains. Here are some ways you protect your vehicle from different types of damage on Holi:

                 

Cover your vehicle

While you may already have your bike covered with two wheeler insurance, this method of protecting your vehicle involves actually covering it. Simply put, your car or bike will be safe from getting drenched in Holi colours if you simply cover it with plastic covers. Using plastic covers is important because the fibre covers will not be as effective.

Park your vehicle at a right spot

Another ingenious way of keeping your vehicle safe during Holi is to park the vehicle somewhere where there is a lesser chance of people playing Holi. Or, to be safe, you could park your car or bike somewhere inaccessible to everybody. This way, you can almost eliminate your vehicle being damaged during Holi.

Polish your vehicle

Another effective way of protecting your car or bike during this Holi is to apply wax prior to the festival as a part of precautionary measure. Wash your vehicle properly and then apply a coat of wax polish which will serve the need of keeping your vehicle safe from Holi stains. If you have recently purchased your vehicle, you can also get a Teflon coating.

Interior protection

While most people take measures to protect the reason, interiors are different story altogether. For example, if you have to use your vehicle on Holi, make sure you follow some precautionary measures for the interiors as well. For a car, use protective covers for the headrest and backrest. If you don’t want to spend on protective covers, you can use old curtains or towels.

As another alternative of protecting your interiors, you can use food wrap or cling film. Doing so to cover steering wheels, gear knobs, and internal door handles will prevent from colour getting on it if you have to use your car on the day of Holi.

Avoid detergents

In a bizarre twist of damage control, people end up using detergents if your vehicle does end up getting stained. While using household detergents is an easy way to get rid of the stains, it will also damage the paint of your vehicle.

Following these advices can help you protect your vehicle from different types of damages that might occur while you enjoy Holi festivities. However, no amount of protection is enough for your vehicle. Hence, you should have a suitable car insurance or a two wheeler insurance policy.
