the car...

I have learnt some lessons about maintaining my precious baby, the car.

1. Eggs, bird shit, tree sap, bug splatter are all bad for the paint job. The acidity is able to strip through the clear coat. And once the stuff hardens, is very hard to remove. Remove immediately when noticed. That is why I will now keep a chamois and a bottle of water in my car.

2. You really need to wax and polish the car at least once every quarter (2-3 months). I was recommended to use some form of carnuba wax. The layer of wax serves as a protective layer over your paint job. This serves to give your car the "showroom shine" and preserve the good paint underneath.

3. To avoid scratching your paint finish, you need to avoid using old t-shirts, rags other cloths. They will cause small scratches to your paint job. Always use either a good microfiber toweling or chamois.
