How to keep car paint like new?

Paint protection film

Applying protective film is a method that many people often use after buying a new car. This method helps the car to be more shiny and also avoids unwanted scratches at a light level. The protective film market is also very diverse with many different types and prices. Protective film for windshields or windows will be different from the type of exterior paint protection. From there, you can choose the type of product that suits your budget.

Wash your car properly

Take the initiative to wash your car, don't wait until it's too dirty to clean it. Use specialized chemicals to wash cars, and absolutely do not use strong cleaning chemicals such as bleach or soap.

Hard objects can scratch the paint surface, so do not wear watches, rings or belts when washing your car. Do not use a high-pressure washer and do not hold it too close to the paint surface.

If you wash your car on a sunny day, avoid washing directly under the harsh sunlight because when washing the car, if the car body is hot, the metal in the car body will quickly dry the soap, the soap will quickly stick to the paint and leave stains on the car's paint surface.

Do not park in the sun

We need to park our cars in the shade to avoid aging and fading of the paint. In case we have to park our cars outdoors under the sun, we should find silver sheets or cardboard to cover the car. However, we should also limit parking our cars under the shade of trees to avoid tree sap and bird droppings sticking to the car. Some acids or chemicals that may be present in tree sap or bird droppings can blister the car's paint.
