Understanding Paint Damage and Its Solutions

There’s only one guarantee with the stock finish on your vehicle: at some point, you’ll have to deal with paint damage. Many drivers believe their vehicle’s finish is designed to withstand environmental harm, but the reality is different. Every time your car leaves the garage, it faces harsh contaminants. Over time, these elements cause damage that worsens if not addressed promptly. No matter the size of the affected area, it’s essential to fix the issue early to avoid escalating costs.


What Causes Paint Damage?

Paint damage has many causes. While accidents or vandalism are obvious culprits, most issues stem from environmental factors.

Common Environmental Factors:

  • Micro-abrasives: Dust and dirt scratch your clear coat and paint.
  • Corrosive substances: Acid rain, bird droppings, and tree sap eat away at your vehicle’s finish.

Human Error:

  • Amateur detailing: Improper use of buffers can severely harm your finish.

Pre-Existing Scratches:

  • Minor scratches from road debris can grow into significant damage if left untreated.

Regularly inspecting your vehicle for scratches can prevent further harm.


How to Fix Paint Damage

At Better Auto Detailing, we use a comprehensive paint correction method to restore your vehicle’s finish. This process doesn’t just mask the damage; it eliminates it entirely. Here’s how we do it:

 

  1. Thorough Wash:
    • We begin by washing the damaged area to remove any lingering contaminants.
  2. Decontamination:
    • This step ensures the surface is completely clean before correction.
  3. Paint Restoration:
    • We restore both the paint and the clear coat to their factory default states.

Our approach ensures a flawless finish, leaving your vehicle looking as good as new.


Preventing Future Paint Damage

After paint correction, it’s natural to wonder how to avoid future issues. The answer lies in automotive ceramic coatings.

Benefits of Ceramic Coatings:

  • Provides a microscopically thin, transparent layer of protection.
  • Shields your clear coat from contaminants and scratches.

Without a ceramic coating, your vehicle remains vulnerable to damage. At Better Auto Detailing, we offer:

  • 5-Year Ceramic Coating: Long-lasting protection.
  • 10-Year Ceramic Coating: Ultimate durability.

Our coatings are hand-applied by trained professionals, often during the same appointment as paint correction.
