Your new or used vehicle has been diminishing in appearance after leaving the dealership lot simply because it’s appearance has not been maintained properly. The vehicle probably hasn’t been washed properly (maybe it was taken to the dreaded car wash), it’s rubber trim hasn’t been treated to UV protectants, or the dealership wax/glaze job you got when you bought your vehicle (which hides all of the paint’s defects) has rinsed away by rain showers, leaving the paint naked to reveal all of its defects and prone to paint contamination and water spot formation. Paint swirls and contamination are the most common culprits to a vehicle’s diminished appearance.

Paint Swirls

Any form of scratch on your paint, whether micro-fine (swirls) or deep (scratch down to the primer) is caused by a foreign solid object getting in contact with your paint and being dragged across the surface. To prevent this from occurring, one needs to minimize the amount of foreign matter touching your paint. Paint swirls are especially noticeable on darker-colored vehicles, especially black. Heavy swirls can make a black car look a faded gray!

When washing a vehicle, a thorough rinse is a must to remove the initial layer of dirt on the paint. Using a quality, lubricating car wash soap will help encapsulate dirt particles so they do not touch the surface of your vehicle. Your wash mitt should also be made of a high-quality microfiber or chenille “flagellum” strands to ensure dirt is trapped inside the weave. Using a sponge is bad because it leaves dirt on the surface of the sponge, giving it the greatest probability of scratching your paint. When drying your vehicle, you should use an electric powered leaf blower to remove the majority of water from the vehicle, and then gently dry the remaining water from the vehicle using high-quality microfiber towels.

Paint Contamination On Your Car

Beyond washing, your vehicle should always have some sort of protection on your paint, windows, and wheels to ensure no foreign contamination embeds itself into the surface. Even new cars, which have been sitting on the shipping dock exposed to the harsh seas or on a dealer lot for extended periods of time can be heavily contaminated. It’s actually very common.

Go to your car and run your finger gently on a clean section of the paint. Is it silky smooth or is it rough like sandpaper? That roughness is foreign contamination, which includes dirt that has been sitting on your paint for extended periods of time, bird bombs that hit your car from above, tree sap, tar, air pollution, oil, grease, and dead insects. Without a dedicated and durable wax or sealant to resist these foreign particles from contaminating your paint, your paint is left exposed to attack. Paint that has lost its metallic flake shimmer is probably heavily contaminated as well. This is because there is a layer of dirt within the clearcoat that is hiding the true color of vehicle. But don’t worry; paint contamination can be removed through the use of a clay barring service. Read more about the importance of clay barring your paint.
