I want to protect my car from peeling! How do you make it last longer?

Maintenance

How do you make car paint last longer? What should I do if the paint on the car comes off? This time we will answer questions about car painting!

The paint on the car is surprisingly easy to peel off! What is the cause?

The following are typical causes of car paint coming off.

UV light

Ultraviolet light breaks the bonds of all organic compound molecules.
if the clear layer deteriorates, ultraviolet light will reach the top coat, causing a powdering phenomenon to occur and gradually fading.

Iron powder

If the parking lot is near an ironworks or railroad tracks, iron powder will stick to the car body unexpectedly. If left untouched, the iron powder will rust and oxidize, removing the paint on the car and spreading the rust on the body.

Bird dung

Since bird feces are digestive juices, they are strongly acidic. Therefore, if the bird’s dung adheres to the car body, it will dissolve the paint film and the paint will gradually come off.

Sap

Sap falling from trees also contains acidic components. The speed of erosion is slower than that of bird dung, but leaving it unattended may cause the paint on the car to come off.

How do you keep the car paint from peeling off?

Below are some measures to keep the car paint from coming off.

Park in a covered garage

If you park in a covered garage, your car will be protected from UV rays, rain, bird dung and sap.

Do not park under a tree

When camping or having a picnic, many people will park under a tree for sun protection, but try to avoid sap as it will adhere to the car body.

Wipe dirt frequently

If iron powder, bird dung, or sap adhere to the car body, wipe it off as soon as possible. Bird dung can be removed clean with water. The sap can be easily removed if lukewarm water of about 40 to 60 degrees is used. A special cleaner is required to remove iron powder.

If you wipe strongly, the paint will be damaged, so try to wipe it gently. By the way, it is important to wash the car as soon as possible when riding along the sea, because salt that causes rust adheres to the body.

To coat

By coating your car regularly, you can make your paint less susceptible to UV and dirt.
