Steps for taking care of new roof paint

Junkman2008

Seven months and you haven't washed it but you keep it covered? You are doing MORE damage to your paint than people who drive it every day. Here's why.

When you drive ONE BLOCK down the street, no telling now many cars drive past, at or around you. During that time, all of these cars are whiping up dust off the road. All of that dust is settling on top of your paint and every car around. That's why a black car never looks as black as it did right after you finished washing it. So you pull your car inside the garage and cover it with a car cover in order to keep it clean, not taking into consideration all the tiny dust particles that are laying on top of your paint. Those very dust particles that are acting like 6000 grit sandpaper as you drag your car cover across them. If you were to do a flash test of your paint, I would bet the farm that the micro-damage is already starting to show. Up next, swirl city.

Now if you come back with "I use detail spray to wipe it down before I cover it", then I'm really going to walk away and shake my head.

As for the OP, this is the purpose of sealants and waxes. This is not rocket science. If you PROPERLY protect your paint, you can expose it to the elements with some peace of mind. If not, then you can expect the worst. Give your paint a fighting chance. Just a insurance gives your wallet a fighting chance, sealants and waxes do the same thing for your paint.
