3 Common Things Damaging the Paint of Your Car

Ex-significant others and bird droppings are not the only enemy of your car’s paint. Everyday things can also blemish you car’s exterior. Here, we share with you three common things that might be damaging your vehicle without you knowing it.

1. Rain

Chances are you wash your car less often in raining season. However, this is not necessarily the best for your vehicle. Rain water collects pollutants and contaminants from the air (also known as acid rain) that can damage your paint when they dry in the surface of your car. Water marks are annoying and they keep your car from looking shiny. At the same time, rain usually does not have enough pressure to wash off grime from your paint, and it can instead contribute to accumulate it. Try to wash your car as soon as possible after it rains, so you can preserve the look of your paint.

2. Sprinkler Systems

Water from sprinkler systems can leave permanent water spots on the paint of your vehicle. Sunlight burn these spots and makes it really difficult to remove them. Avoid parking close to sprinklers as much as you can and try to clean your car soon after being exposed to them.

3. Washing Your Car the Wrong Way (Also Known as Not Calling Solosteam)

Avoid generic and abrasive cleaners such as detergents and soap as they can do damage to your paint. It’s very important to only use high quality and specialized car cleaning products in your car. Also, keep in mind that dirt particles left in unwashed cloths can scratch the paint and leave marks. Finally, it is very important to remove all moisture in the drying process since its accumulation can hurt the paint. At the end of the day, we would love to detail your vehicle for you and we would never hurt any part of it including its feelings.
