Here are the 7 major causes of car paint damage that you probably want to reduce as much as possible. (true for not only Honda Civic but other cars)
Insect bodies bump into the car
While small, insects may cause significant damage to car paint. The fluid in the bugs is usually highly acidic, so it needs to be washed quickly, or tiny stains can get deeper into the paint.
Therefore, do not leave the insect body stains on the car for too long, since the longer the stains linger, the harder it is to extract them. According to car care experts, only use a small amount of soft tissue and brush cleaning solution to remove the insect body.
Gasoline spill
In the event that the gasoline is spilled without being cleaned in time, the spilled fuel will easily enter the paint and damage the gloss finish as well as the stains that are difficult to remove.
So, if you spill oil, you'll need to immediately get a clean, soft towel along with a bit of polishing wax to cover the beautiful coat of your car.
Bird excrement
Bird drops will corrode the surface of glossy car paint. In reality, birds usually eat berries and seeds or even soft rock gravel, making their excrement acidic and able to corrode, scrape and lose the shine of the glossy coat.
Macadam
Crushed stones or gravel may bump into the sides of the car on the street. These collisions will completely peel the paint, reduce its longevity and affect the consistency of the tire. One piece of advice from seasoned car experts is to deal with it as soon as possible in order to avoid rusting the peeled area.
Dirt washing equipment
Also when the towel or brush is soft and smooth, when it's dropped to the ground, it's hard to clean every effort you make. And if you keep using dirty stuff to clean your car, you're going to make nasty scratches.
If a towel or a brush is dropped and dirty, it's better to throw it away and use a new one.
So this is my first post in this forum. If there's something wrong pls comment below to let me know Thank you all!
