The True Cost of Unprotected Car Paint: Risks & Consequences

Do you have to protect your car’s paint? No.

But if you decide not to invest in Paint Protection Film (PPF) or a Ceramic Coating, you are essentially signing up for a life of anxiety.

To keep unprotected paint looking new, you would have to follow these impossible rules:

• Drive in the slow lane. (And pray no one passes you).
• Don’t drive in the rain or snow. Acid rain and road salts eat unprotected clear coat.
• Never stay behind trucks. They are rock-throwing machines.

• Never park under a tree. Sap and bird droppings are paint killers.
• Keep your distance. Stay 500 feet back from any vehicle kicking up rocks, dirt, or snow.
• Avoid traffic. (Good luck with that).

• Don’t let people touch your car. Even a finger swipe on a dusty car causes scratches.
• Keep your fingernails trimmed. Scratches behind door handles are the most common sign of unprotected paint.

Or… You Could Just Drive It.

The alternative to all this stress is simple: Armor your vehicle. Paint Protection Film stops the rocks, and Ceramic Coating stops the chemical damage.
