WHAT REALLY CAUSES SCRATCHES ON YOUR CAR’S PAINT?
Your car’s paint can be scratched from many everyday situations. Brushing against tree branches, scraping other vehicles, or contact with rough surfaces can all leave visible marks. Even tiny particles like dirt, rocks, or road debris can cause scratches, especially while driving or during a wash.
Another major reason for paint damage is poor cleaning habits. Using rough cloths, dirty sponges, or the wrong tools can create small, fine scratches on your car’s surface. Automatic car washes with harsh or unclean brushes can also harm your paint, particularly if the car hasn’t been rinsed properly first.
