You have likely heard people talk about their car like it is some type of pet or friend. They name the car and love the car. These are the same type of people that want to have their car stand out from a crowd and the best way to do that is to customize the car. One obvious way for a car to stand out is to have a custom paint job done. The custom paint will set you apart and can show off your own design and likes. You are not hemmed in by the car manufacturer and can make a statement. If you are ready to have your car custom painted you want to find a shop that has this as an option. You also want to make sure you know what to do to protect your car after it has been painted. Top Notch Body Shop & Mechanic outlines how to keep your cars new paint job protected.
Protect Car Paint from Sun Damage
One of the ways that any paint job can meet its demise is being left out in the elements. The car has a coat of paint then it is sealed with a clear coat. This gives the car the ability to withstand but that does not mean that it is indestructible. The clear coat can only protect so much and for so long. The problem that you will come across is when you leave your car out in the weather for long periods. The direct sunlight will take its toll on the car and could start to cause the paint to fade the clear coating to lift and peal. You want to make sure that you have a place to park the car and keep it out of the sun and other elements. This can be accomplished with a car cover or it can be parking in a garage of under a structure. This will extend how long your custom paint job will last.
Remove Dried Bird Poop & Other Debris from Car Paint Quickly
If you have been the victim of a bird dropping attack or a neighbor kid throwing eggs you want to make sure that you get out and clean the mess right away. These types of things can cause damage to the paint and clear coat by eating away at them. They have ingredients that can are acidic and bad for your car. You want to make sure that you have a way to clean off any substantial debris from the car with you at all times. You can keep a kit in the car to take care of small jobs while out and about.
Apply Car Wax Paint Protection Coating
You also want to make sure that you keep the car clean overall. After it has been painted the car will look amazing. After a few weeks the car will be dirty and this will effect the look of the paint. The car needs to be cared for by having it washed regularly. You also want to make sure that you have it waxed as well. The wax will create a secondary barrier for your car and the paint job.
