Hail, rain, ice, and snow can all damage and ding a car, causing it to age faster than it would had it been protected by a garage. But a garage is not the &quot;be-all, end-all&quot; of automobile protection.<\/p>\n<p> \tHere are a few tips you can implement to better protect your car in Texas without a garage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> \t\t<b>Wax it and then wax it some more<\/b>. A good coat of wax can do wonders to protect your car. Dirt and debris will be less likely to adhere to your car&#8217;s paint finish. A good coat of wax can help shield your car against road debris, including damaging road salt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> \t\t<b>Keep it covered. <\/b>Cars are one of the biggest expenses people make, so it makes sense to protect them. However, if you don&#8217;t have a garage, consider purchasing a car cover. Car covers protect your vehicle against hazardous weather or flying debris. Today&#8217;s car covers are available in universal covers or custom covers. You can even purchase accessories, such as locks, for your covers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> \t\t<b>Invest in a steel carport.<\/b> A steel carport not only protects your car&#8217;s paint from the sun&#8217;s rays in the Texas summer, but prevents ice and snow buildup in the winter. Steel carports offer great protection from dings from a spring hail storm, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s no doubt that weather can wreak havoc on your car, to both its exterior and interior motor parts.
