MY DEALER TOLD ME THE OUTSIDE OF MY CAR IS CLEAR COATED AND IT DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE
WE HEAR THIS ALL THE TIME AND IT'S ABSOLUTE NONSENSE
THE CLEARCOAT ON YOUR CAR IS NOT A PROTECTIVE LAYER OVER THE PAINT FINISH, IT IS THE PAINT FINISH !
MODERN CARS ARE PAINTED WITH WHAT'S CALLED A TWO-STAGE, OR BASECOAT/CLEARCOAT SYSTEM. THE COLOR PART OF THE PAINT IS DULL, HAS NO SHINE AT ALL, THE CLEARCOAT IS APPLIED OVER THE BASECOAT TO PROVIDE THE SHINE AND MAKE IT LAST. CLEARCOAT IS JUST REGULAR PAINT WITHOUT ANY PIGMENT.
THANKS TO MODERN MANUFACTURING ROBOTS, PAINTS ARE APPLIED TO PRECISE THICKNESS, USUALLY ONLY A FEW THOUSANDTHS OF AN INCH THICK, ABOUT THE THICKNESS OF A SHEET OF REGULAR PAPER. THIS SAVES THE MANUFACTURER MONEY, BUT SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE CAR'S FINISH.
ALSO, PAINTS USED TO CONTAIN LEAD, IT PROVIDED DURABILITY AND RESISTANCE TO FADING. MOST LEAD HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF AUTOMOTIVE PAINT, GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, BAD FOR YOUR CAR. URETHANE PAINTS ARE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ACID RAIN, BIRD DROPPINGS AND BUG SPLATTERS.
EVERYTHING THAT LANDS ON YOUR CAR IS ATTACKING THE PAINT FINISH. THE CHEMISTRY OF BIRD DROPPINGS AND BUG SPLATTERS, COMBINED WITH SUNLIGHT AND WATER, (RAIN OR EVEN MORNING DEW) ARE ALL THE COMPONENTS NEEDED TO EAT INTO THE FINISH OF YOUR CAR, AND MAKE THE OUTLINE OF THE BIRD DROPPING OR BUG SPLATTER A PERMANENT STAIN ON YOUR PAINT.
ACID RAIN
SULPHUR IN THE AIR FROM BURING COAL AND OIL, COMBINES WITH AIR, RAIN AND SUNLIGHT TO FORM SULPURIC ACID, WHICH MIXES WITH THE RAIN AND LANDS ON YOUR NEW CAR. THOSE WATER BEADS ON YOUR PAINT ARE ACTUALLY DROPLETS OF MILD SULPHURIC ACID. PLUS THE SHAPE OF THE DROPLET ON YOUR PAINT ACTS LIKE A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO INTENSIFY THE SUN'S RAYS. OXYGEN IN THE AIR AIDS THE PROCESS. THE RESULT IS THAT THE PAINT FINISH, ACTUALLY THE CLEARCOAT IS DEEPLY ETCHED ALONG THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE WATER DROPLET. THAT'S WHY ACID RAIN DAMAGE LOOKS LIKE WATER SPOTS, IT IS THE RESULT OF AN ACIDIC WATER DROP LAYING ON YOUR PAINT. EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS DRY, BUT HAS A FILM OF DIRT ALL OVER, THIS DIRT CONTAINS SULPURIC ACID, AND EVEN MORNING DEW IS ENOUGH TO REACTIVATE THE PROCESS.
WHAT SHOULD I DO ?
