12 Things That Can Damage Car Paint Permanently

 

Did you know that some of the most common products in our households and environment can damage car paint? If you're not careful, you can ruin your car's paint and end up needing a complete scrape-to-metal paint job!

Here are the things you need to avoid so you don't ruin your car's paint:

1. Dirty Car Cleaning Materials. Scrubbing your car with a dirty piece of cloth or sponge will not only make the dirt stick on the car paint but may also abrade it. That's why you see those hairline scratches everywhere!

2. Coffee. Do you leave your morning cup on the car hood every day before driving to work? Those coffee spills are no laughing matter. Make sure you wipe them off or else the acidity will break down your car paint.

3. Bird Droppings. Since these are excreted material, droppings contain several acidic components that can stain the car surface.

4. Gasoline. Filling your tank to the point of overflowing will cause the fuel to drip all over your car paint. This can leave discoloration and permanent stains if not cleaned off properly.

5. Construction Debris. Never leave your car near a construction site because the cement, falling rocks, and dust will ruin your car paint and may even cause dents on the surface.

6. Silly String and Mustard. These two household items can leave a stain when they are left on the surface of your car to dry. The damage becomes worse if they are exposed to direct sunlight.

7. Ashes. When ash and soot fall on car paint, it can stain the surface a terrible gray-black color which is similar to tar.

8. Snow. It is highly advisable to park in a garage or at least cover your car when it's snowing because the cold temperature can create undesirable chemical reactions to your paint. It also speeds up corrosion.

9. Shaving Cream. The chemicals in this product can leave a mark on the paint that will become permanent if not wiped off immediately.

10. Brake Fluid. This actually works like paint thinner. If you accidentally drip it on your car paint, you will surely regret it.

11. Sharp Objects. Never leave sharp objects lying around nearby your car, especially if you don't have a garage, you have kids, or your neighbors are unruly. Sharp items like keys, nails, razors, scissors, and other hand tools can cause permanent paint damage that will require complete overhaul.

12. Shoe Polish. Like shaving cream, shoe polish leaves a permanent stain that can't be removed even if you scrub on the spot for hours.
