Foothill heat & fire season
What Burbank & Glendale roads do to cars.
Parking-structure scrapes on bumpers and wheels around busy retail and studio districts.
Foothill heat and afternoon sun that fade paint and oxidize clearcoat.
Hillside streets where curbs, retaining walls and tight turns catch wheels and lower panels.
The I-5, CA-134, CA-2 and I-210 all converge here. The I-5/CA-134 junction and the CA-2/I-210 interchange are daily bottlenecks, and Glenoaks Boulevard, Brand Boulevard and Olive Avenue carry heavy crosstown traffic.
Foothill communities get valley heat plus canyon hazards and, in fire season, ash fall. Ash left on wet paint can etch the finish, so rinse it off gently with plenty of water rather than wiping it dry.
