The paint on your car takes a beating everyday from dirt, grime, UV sunlight and all sorts of materials in the environment; one of the most toxic to the paint is bird poop. The acidity will burn through the clear coat, leaving a permanent scabby looking residue on the paint.
Keeping your car clean requires the right products. The wrong wash mit, the wrong microfiber towel, the wrong brush and definitely the wrong soap will further the damages even if your intentions our good.
To get the exterior of your car cleaned correctly, the key ingredient is a quality car wash soap. Car wash soap will serve you well, as this cleaning product is specifically designed to prevent damage to your car’s paint job.
