Fluids like diesel, petrol, brake fluids, and engine oil can damage your car paint. Although most of them evaporate quickly, they can leave marks and stains, which are impossible to remove if left too long.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to rinse the part that came in contact with fluids or you can apply a coat of liquid wax on your car. This will prevent paint from stripping and make the cleaning process easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tree-sap\">Tree Sap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/environmental-factors-cause-car-damage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">environmental factors can also damage car paint<\/a>. One such example is tree sap that eats away at your car paint. Sap is hard to remove especially if it dries hard. The process can be accelerated, if the car is facing extreme temperature outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By not using proper products, you will only spread it to a wider area. Rubbing too hard can scratch and damage the car paint.&nbsp;Using microfiber mitt or tar removal spray can help remove sap. In addition to that, applying a wax layer can help prevent any future deposits. You can also use a spray cleaning solution and rubbing alcohol of your choice on top of the area covered with sap. Leave it for 30 sec to a minute, and then use a wet washcloth to gently remove the solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If sap has dried to the point where it has a tar like consistency, you can scrape it off with a box cutter blade. Just keep the blade flat against the surface to avoid causing more damage in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-soda-coffee\">Soda\/Coffee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a habit of placing your coffee cup and soft drink can on top of your car, make sure you clean the bottom edges of the cup and also wipe that area afterward. Most people don\u2019t realize coffee and carbonated drinks can harm your car\u2019s paint. Sugary drinks also leave a sticky residue on the surface. If hardened, they can leave a mark or damage the car\u2019s paint.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to that, these beverages have high acidity levels, if left for too long, they can eat away the protective layer of paint. If you do end up spilling these drinks on your car, make sure to wipe it up right away to prevent long term damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-water\">Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Water itself doesn&#8217;t cause lasting damage if wiped immediately. Continuous rain, coastal air or automated sprinkles near the parking spot can be one of the main causes of car paint damage. Rainwater contains minerals that leave spots and are difficult to remove, but any water that stays on the surface for too long will expedite corrosion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to consider this guide for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/restore-faded-car-paint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restoring faded<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/restore-faded-car-paint\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">car paint<\/a> through some easy yet quick DIY option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Sun damage to car paint\" class=\"wp-image-2548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/30110113\/What-damages-car-paint-Things-to-keep-a-check-on-300429210400-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Accumulated water on the exterior can cause a lot of damage to your car paint<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent long term damage, you can park your car under a shade.
