running under the mrt/lrt when it rains

**wewoy_romero** · December 3rd, 2007 02:39 PM

i usually drive my car under the shade of the mrt/lrt when it's sunny para mas malamig.

pero since medyo umuulan/umaambon lately, when you're running under these structures, may mga tumutulo. i don't if they are just excess rainwater or may halo na oil(?) or something.

does anybody know what they are and if they affect the car's paint?

thanks.

ganun ba yun boss parang di ko masyado napapansiin ??
may pagbabago po ba sa paint ng car nyo?

wala (pa) naman. i just wanted to know baka kasi may effect. i dunno if yung tumutulo is just plain rainwater or baka nahahaluan na siempre ng kung ano galing from the trains.

kung tuloy tuloy ang ulan & malakas for sure kung meron man oil doon mahuhugasan na iyon ...

ako pag umuulan, i don't stay under those structure.
dahil mas lalong nagkakapache pache yung paint ng oto dahil sa dumi eh.

Worst thing that can happen is not just oil or water are splashed out, but also some solids like gravel stones, pebbles, rocks, etc. that can all mar the paint on your car, or worst leave a nasty dent.

As for dirty water and oils, just have the car washed as soon as you can after, have it cleaned and detailed (clayed too perhaps) if you feel anal about it. Also try not to go through them often. There's a reason why water can erode the land in time.

Even when it's not raining, some areas under the MRT leak dirty water like crazy.
Take for instance the shaw underpass.

Also, doon sa guadalupe bridge, when you're under the mrt, and a train passes overhead, matutuluan ka pa rin ng tubig that dries to a dirty brown color.
