How Everyday Commuter Dirt Can Hurt Your Paint and How to Fix It

For those who do not wash their cars very often, you would be shocked at how much dirt and debris collects on your vehicle. Everyday dirt, salt from our coastal air, and tree sap are all offenders. And like with dirt on other types of surfaces, the longer is stays on there, the more damage it does to the surface and the harder it is to remove.

To fight this ongoing problem, the best thing for your car’s paint is to wash your vehicle regularly and frequently, more so if you have the habit of parking outside, too. Dirt and debris on your vehicle have a corrosive effect on your paint and also scratch the paint. The best thing to keep your vehicle looking good and maintain its value is to wash it.

You also want to use a high-quality car wash like ours, with three locations in the Vancouver area. Commercial car washes like ours use much less water than washing the vehicle yourself at home and are much less likely to damage your vehicle by further scratching it while removing the dirt. Research shows that hand washing actually degrades the lustre of your paint compared to our method.
