If you do not take of your vehicle over time that damage can result in hundreds of dollars to repaint your car.

Below are some ways you can damage your paint.

Washing with Wrong Tools and Products

Thinking of washing your car instead of the local car wash?

You can go to your local auto store and get all the tools and products you need so you can be able to wash your car throughly.

Actually, the most of the products that are sold on a shelf are poor quality. For example, the wash mitt can be made out of cheap material and it can be too rough for the paint.

When it is too rough for the paint, it can cause micro scratches or cob webs when it’s looked under the sun. Also have a cheap drying towel can also cause scratches.

The Local Car Wash

Want a fast and cheap option? Depending on what you want, you will get what you pay for. On average they cost between $20-$40.

Have you seen how many vehicle go on a daily bases? All the dirt from each car is collected into the washing process and its dragging that dirt across your paint and causing damage.

Many of them use the same towel for six cars for drying or washing and then change them out. Which means all the dirt that was in the other car is now coming across your paint.
