Does Using Toilet Cleaner to Wash a Car Damage the Paint?

[Pat]

Toilet cleaner is a mixture of pigments and acidic chemicals, and using it to wash a car can damage the paint. Here are specific details on car paint maintenance: 1. Waxing: Waxing forms a protective layer on the car's surface, isolating the paint from the external environment, thereby protecting it from oxidation and fading. New cars do not need waxing within the first 3 months of purchase, and excessive waxing afterward can cause some damage to the paint. It is recommended to wax at most once every two months. When waxing, apply evenly and maintain a consistent direction. 2. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating forms a strong fiber network on the paint surface, filling microscopic pores invisible to the naked eye, achieving a mirror-like effect. It adds a thin diamond-hard shell to the paint, increasing the hardness of the paint beyond traditional coating and protecting it from damage.
