Car paint damage

I’ve been always keen on a car’s finish. My sister used to mock me back in college when I used to spend a tad bit more time really making it spic and span and sparkle. I would’ve probably beaten the Karate Kid in a waxing contest (Wax in, wax out, Daniel-san!).

But everyday trips and exposure to elements beat the heck out of your car’s paint never mind if you’ve used a tad more carnauba wax than your usual application. Here top 10 peeves that ruin a cars finish:

  • Dirt/Dust – Sticks unless you shampoo it off
  • Mud
  • Rain water – With pollution, that’s acid!
  • Pollen – Parking under a tree may give you shade but tree sap too.
  • Tar
  • Chips of rock
  • Bird droppings – Bird droppings are acidic too that eats away your paint.
  • Tree sap
  • Salt Common in snowy climates
  • Car keys in the hands of a vengeful ex

Maybe you could think of some and put some more in the comments!
