Does Washing a Car with Plain Water Affect the Paint?

[OEmmett]

Washing a car with plain water has no effect on the car or its paint. Below is relevant information: 1. Overview: Car paint (English name: Car-paint) has undergone three major leaps in history: alkyd (enamel) paint in the 1920s, acrylic (enamel) paint in the 1960s, and clear coat (urethane) in the 1980s. 2. Function: Car paint is a protective film sprayed onto the car, a type of coating that makes the car body less susceptible to corrosion and enhances its aesthetic appeal. Different car paints produce different effects, and the quality of the paint itself, along with the technology and a good painting environment, are crucial.
