What Causes Paint Cracks in the Rear Windshield Gap?
1 Answers
Paint cracks in the rear windshield gap may be caused by exposure to corrosive substances such as bird droppings or tree sap. If left uncleaned for a long time, the high temperatures during summer can lead to paint cracking. Toothpaste for Scratch Removal: Shiny car paint can accidentally get scratched. Don't panic in such situations. First, clean the scratch with water, then apply a small amount of toothpaste to the scratched area and gently rub it back and forth repeatedly. Once the scratch fades or disappears, wipe it dry with a damp cloth. This method also provides a protective barrier to prevent rust, especially for white car paint, where the effect is most noticeable. Car Paint Maintenance Methods: Avoid washing your car under direct sunlight to prevent the paint from cracking due to sudden temperature changes. Regularly inspect the car's paint surface. If cracks or scratches are found, address them promptly to prevent further damage from exposure to wind and sun. For minor scratches or chips, the usual approach is to sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper, then apply a professional touch-up paint pen or the auxiliary paint provided by the manufacturer. If neither is available, evenly applying white toothpaste can also yield good results, especially for white car paint. Avoid using car brushes immediately after rain to prevent scratching the paint surface. Instead, opt for chamois leather or professional car wash services.
