Holi, the festival of colours, is celebrated across India and involves the use of gulaal and water. No doubt it’s a fun festival but the stains of colours on vehicles become a headache for the owners. This is why cars and motorcycles require special care on Holi. Both wet and dry colours contain harmful substances that can affect the functioning of your car or bike.
Therefore, it is wise to give your beloved vehicles the extra care they deserve when conditions just aren’t right for them. Here are some useful tips that can protect your car or motorcycle from Holi colour stains:
Holi Hacks: Tips To Protect Car and Bike From Colours
Cover Up for Holi: Invest in a Shield
Buy a good quality cover for your car or bike. It will keep your vehicle safe from colours, water and dust. Make sure it completely covers the vehicle without any important parts left exposed.
Wax On, Worries Off: Repel Stains and Protect Your Vehicle
Use high-quality car wax polish to protect the exteriors of your car or bike to protect it during Holi. Wax polish not only protects your car or bike’s paint but also prevents Holi colour stains from leaving stubborn marks. The good news is even the ones with good quality are not very expensive. After all, it’s all about the safety of your beloved vehicle.
Newspapers and Towels to the Rescue: Keep Your Cabin Colour-Free
Protecting the interior of the car is as important as safeguarding the exterior. It sometimes becomes difficult to prevent colours and water from entering the cabin, so you should keep old towels and newspapers handy inside. You can also cover your car’s steering wheels and infotainment system with plastic.

Park Smart, Play Safe: Find the Perfect Holi Hideaway
Organising a parking space for your vehicle is one of the safest tips to protect it during the festival. Find a suitable place where the colour does not pose any danger to your vehicle. Make sure you park your car or motorcycle in a closed parking lot, which will ensure that your vehicle is less vulnerable to the colours.
Windows Up, Worries Down!
While driving this Holi, make sure to keep your car’s windows closed. Holi is the time when colours, water balloons keep flying through the air, some of which may even enter your car via open windows. Therefore, it is recommended to always keep them closed to protect yourself and the passengers.
Post-Holi Rescue Mission: Removing Stubborn Stains Safely
Just in case, you still find stains despite using all these tips and taking precautions, get a good quality car or bike shampoo to remove the stains. It is not recommended to use a detergent or any harsh chemicals because it can cause more harm than good and may damage the paint of your car.
So, take good care of your prized possession this Holi. Team News24 wishes its readers a very happy and safe Holi!
