Your car’s paint is the most vulnerable to damage each day. Just like our skin, it is sensitive and easily gets damaged. Your vehicle’s paint could take damage in a lot of ways.

Another examples are stones or rocks, it is hard to avoid stones or rocks to hit your car since a car is made for outdoor transportation, also if there are unruly kids in your neighborhood who just want to throw rocks at cars because they think it’s fun. Another common example is contaminated cleaning cloths – these are contaminated cloths having some debris or tiny hard particles, sometimes we don’t know that our cleaning cloths have small hard particles and we rub it in our car causing damage to its paint job.
