What Activities Will Do The Most Damage To My Car’s Paintjob?

OK, so the only way to ensure that precious paintwork remains pristine is to keep your ride safely indoors and under wraps. But where’s the fun in that? Your ride was born to be driven. And if you’re anything like us, you crave the freedom of the open road.

But it’s not only driving that puts your car’s paintjob at risk of damage. Other routine care, use, and maintenance can also pose a risk to that shiny façade.

Read on to discover what they are and the robust solution that’s easy to put in place.

Top Activities that Damage Paintwork

  • Maintenance
  • On the road
  • Parking up
  • Carelessness

Maintenance

General car cleaning and maintenance can be one of the most harmful activities to your car’s paintwork. Using the wrong car shampoo, cleaning cloths, not washing it enough, dripping substances (oil, windscreen wash, other engine fluids), etc., all reap havoc over time.

On the road

While you can’t avoid small missiles hitting the vehicle, they are one of the biggest damaging culprits. Small stones, twigs, branches, and other projectiles can be whipped up by your or other vehicle tires.

If you go off-roading or drive in severe weather conditions, this is magnified even further.

Parking up

Even parking your car can have repercussions. A failure to shield it from harmful UV rays will take its toll, acid rain will eat its way into the paintwork, bird droppings, tree sap, salt… All of these play a significant role in reducing the sheen and causing the paintwork to dull.

Carelessness

This is a biggie… For example, poor car washing techniques can cause tiny scratches and whorls on the paintwork that, over time, reduce that glossy finish to a faded memory. Even worse, if—horror of horrors—someone were to use a gritty or dirty cloth to wash or polish your pride and joy, then larger scratches can easily be caused.

Automatic car washes are also enemies to a paintjob. While convenient, those huge rollers—despite the advertising that promises they’ll be kind to your vehicle—create minuscule scratches that cause the paintwork to fade and dull. Sure, it won’t be noticeable after a single use (or even multiple) because the damage is cumulative. But every car owner who cares about the beauty of their ride will want to avoid using these facilities.

So, what’s the answer? Thankfully, the latest technology brings us the perfect solution to all of the above.

And the Antidote to What Activities will do the most Damage to my Car’s Paintjob is…

  • Advanced paintwork protection

Advanced paintwork protection

By far the best choice to protect your car’s gleaming exterior is to install ceramic coating. Not only does it provide an awesome, permanent barrier against all the usual paint-damaging culprits, but it makes the vehicle easier to keep clean, shine in a way that’ll make your heart weep, and increase the value of your car to boot…

Professional Ceramic Coating Installation from the Experts at Auto SuperShield

When we talk about ceramic coating, we don’t mean the stuff you buy from the local car shop. While these might be billed as ceramic, they’re little more than an advanced type of wax that pays the briefest of nods to ceramic nanotechnology.

If you want the ultimate protection, then you need a professional installation. No one does this better than the experts at Auto SuperShield. We’ve added ceramic coating to some of the most yearned-after vehicles on the road today, including supercars, racing cars, 4X4s, limos, trucks, motorcycles, and more.
