Is the paint of your car fine ?
The paint of a vehicle is approximately 100 to 200 micron in thickness and consist of certain number of layer. The most upper layer of the paint is called clear layer. This clear layeris about 30 to 40 micron in thickness and is very easy to be damaged by various factors.
　The three most negative factors to the paint.
＜ Traveling circumstance ＞
Traveling circumstance means the condition of the daily driving such as country side, industrial arear, sea side drive way, dirty off road, hot summer asphalt, winter street with snow melting chemical etc. Under these circumstance, various negative factors damages the paint, for eaxample dead insects in country side, solty air near the sea, acid rain around industrial arear, asphalt pitch from the hot street, chemical to melt snow, dust and sand etc. All these negative factors are origined from the traveling circumstance.
＜ Parking circumatance＞
Parking circumatnace is the condition of parking. Those vehicle parked at an open air are easy to get damage from acid rain, bird dropping, industrial waste or pollution in the air. If a vehicle is parked under the open air and left without care, the mixture of these negative factors accumlate on the paint and become very difficult to get rid of those accumlated factors.
＜ Car care circumstance＞
How often and how carefully a vehicle is cared is a very important element to provide the best car care for your vehicle. Many drivers do not know the proper car care or know only wrong performance of car care. For example, leaving vehicle without washing for long time, using wrong chemical or material to wash, forgetting to wipe off remaing water or chemical after car wash etc.
　Hard sticking stain and damage from polluted air
＜ Water/rain stain＞
This water stain on the paint is said to be caused by the mixed material of old wax which has deteriorated and pollutant in the air after a rain. It is very hard to take off this water stain only by ordinary way of washing. It is needed to use special detergent to take off this water stain.
＜ Iron dust＞
Iron dust is blown into air from industries, railways and high ways and speard in the wide range of area by the wind. This iron dust falls on to vehicle paint and stick hardly into the paint. It becomes very difficult to take off these iron dust just by ordinary washing method.
＜ Asphalt pitch and tar ＞
Asphalt tar and pitch ofetn stick to the lower part or front part of a vehicle when driving a newly paved street or hot summer street. The asphalt pitch and tar are being sprung up by tires of its own or other vehicle and stick to the body of a vehicle. It is very hard to take off these tar and pitch by ordinary washing.
＜ Insect and bird's dropping＞
When driving around country side, you will notice many insect flying in the air. These insects are hit and crushed by vehicle. The remains of crushed insects are mainly stick around the front part of a vehicle. Bird dropping is also a problem when driving in the nature or even town street. These stains of insect remain and bird dropping are one of the hardest stain to take off by just washing with ordinary detergent.
＜ Tree leaves and pollen ＞
Certain tyep of tree and pollen could be a problem for the paint of a vehicle. Some tree leaf act like glue when piled on a vehicle body and becom very hard to take off after drying. Pollen could also be a natural glue and helps to attract dust and pollutant.
＜ Acid rain and solty wind ＞
Pollutant in the air is a big problem around the world now a days. A rain drop contains various pollutant not only from the industrial activity but also from the natural phenomenon such as a eruption of volcano. This pollutant in the air often turns into acid rain and hurt many part of a vehicle by eroding various part of metal, rubber and plastic.
Solty wind and rain/snow are also one of the prime enemy of vehicle. Driving and parking around near sea coast or snowy street where snow-melting chemical is often sprayed is also be a big problem for a vehicle by the same way.
　Serious problem caused by water itself
There are many negative factor which could directly damage the painted vehicle body. However water itself could be a main problem to the paint when it si left on the paint without drying.
Rain drops crator
A rain drop remained on the paint evaded the clear layer of the paint by condenced acid in the drop according to the degree of the evaporation.
(polluted, clear layer, painted surface)
Ion deposit
Some chemical deposit remained in a rain drop on the paint apears as a spot after the rain drop has dried up.
(polluted, clear layer, painted surface)
Water spot
This water spot remains not on the clear layer but on the painted surface under the clear layer. The cause of this spot is a remaining water drop and the sunray. A water spot remined on the paint acts as a convex lense and burn the paint by the sun ray.
