Many auto and truck owners get frustrated when paint damage occurs. There are so many forms of this frustration that you could literally write a book about the issue. Unless you never drive your vehicle, and you keep it in a garage continuously it is bound to suffer paint sooner or later. UV rays within everyday sunlight will fade your vehicle’s paint over time. The degrading of your rides paint happens gradually, and it is hard to notice with daily inspections. It’s more easily noticeable when looking through pictures taken a year or so apart. Kind of like the way your hair grows. It is so slow it isn’t noticeable over short periods of time.

They are truly unavoidable and auto paint fades over time when coming into contact with them.

Acid rain is another natural event that has a negative effect on the paint of our autos and trucks. The acid rain degrades the paint on vehicles and houses as it comes into contact with them as this rain falls from above. There is very little we can do to avoid these unwanted events when caught out driving. Carports and garages are good defenses and protectors for our vehicles. However, when we get caught in a downpour of acid rain paint of our cars and trucks paint is attacked. Your auto paint fades due to this type of natural event.

UV Rays Cause Vehicle Damage

The exterior paint, plastic, rubber and other materials are all subjected to this damage that sunlight constantly carries each day to planet Earth from the Sun.

Humans suffer this same destructive force as your vehicle. It shows up as sunburn, which we have all had at one point in our lives. Sunscreen has only been talked about and used by humans to prevent sunburn to our skin for the last fifty years or so. It is universally understood that blocking these dangerous UV Rays from our skin is a healthy approach when being outdoors.
