Just put a vehicle of the same model, year and color, with the paint broken, worn, opaque and with marks, next to one that is with the paint in day, which we will then have a rather derogatory comparison, especially at the time of an exchange Or sale.

In terms of value consideration, a general paint on the car will hardly be advantageous considering cost and benefit, so prior care will always be better than corrective maintenance.

10 tips for a preserved painting

Some simple tips are very useful for keeping the car's paint look new, among which the top 10 can be highlighted:

1. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun or very hot

The main cause of wear on the vehicle's paint is too much exposure to the sun as well as heat. The UV rays released on the body make the paint dull, leaving the paint opaque. For dark, mainly black cars, this factor is of greater intensity, as they absorb much more heat. The golden tip is to leave the car whenever possible, in covered locations.

2. Use protective cover

In case there is no garage available, a good option will be the protective cover, which does not replace the garage, but is still recommended. The cover will have an effect contrary to that of the protection if the vehicle is exposed to the sun, because a "greenhouse" effect will occur, being even more damaging to the vehicle.

3. Rinse regularly

Ideally, the car should be washed once a week to remove paint dust. It is always recommended to use products indicated in the wash, without products such as petroleum based solvent or abrasives. Always wash in the shade.

5. Use wax regularly

After washing it is interesting to use automotive wax, also in the shade. They protect from UV rays, as well as forming protective layers and waterproofing, able to protect from inclement weather. The use of wax is recommended within 3 months on average.

6. Caution when filling (pump leak)

Fuels have microparticles that have the potential to damage the paint if they remain in the "tin" for a long time. If the pump flows and the paint is wetted, the place must be washed with water and dried.

7. Watch out for ... "little birds"

Very common to be running, or even stopped and realize that a bird "dropped something in the wind" and this something came to rest on the bodywork of the vehicle. Such substances are corrosive and can mark paint.

8. Avoid paint scratches

There are a few ways to avoid scratches on the vehicle's paint, one of which is not to park too close to large trees or shrubs from which to break branches and damage the paint. Another way is to avoid turning very close to trucks with materials such as sand, stones and so on. Just do not turn on unpaved roads.

9. Be careful on "tar" routes

It is not uncommon to go through recently repaired asphalt with the use of tar. Most of the time the material is still not "cured", but traffic is released, so when passing with the tires in place, the material is projected onto the bodywork causing damage.

10. Washing after rain

It seems contradictory, but it is not! After rain, external washing is important, as it is normal for pollution and debris to settle more easily on wet floors, as well as splashing of the asphalt in the paint, which can damage it.
