So now that we’ve identified the more common man-made offenders, what are some suggested practices for keeping a car’s paint job and glass devoid of these damaging foreign contaminants?
Removing the aforementioned materials upon contact should always be your first approach. Sure, it may take pulling over for a few minutes, while you clean the unwanted mess away, but that’s the sort of sacrifice that must be made in order to keep a clear coat devoid of damaging debris. This is why we recommend keeping a “quick clean emergency pack” in the vehicle at all times, complete with a quality detailing spray and some fresh microfiber towels.
It’s also wise to park your car in a covered area or in a garage when available. Many of the naturally occurring elements mentioned above come from above, so removing this factor from the equation will make a huge difference in your vehicle’s external longevity. The same goes for car washes. To prevent contamination, always use a 2 bucket washing system, followed by a thorough microfiber cloth wipe-down to prevent hard water spot formation.
Finally, be sure to clean the towels you use on your car after every use. A filthy cleaning towel will do more damage than good when applied to a paint surface, so when in doubt, reach for a clean rag.
Fresh microfiber, parking indoors, and a weekly cleaning routine will only get you so far though. Adding a high-end coating, like GYEON MOHS+ to your car cleaning arsenal is like conducting a secret aerial attack in the battle with man-made contaminants. Not only will a coating of this caliber protect your car’s paint job, but it will also make cleaning less of a chore down the road.
