Whose Paint Will Be Damaged When Scraping Against a Stationary Car?

[MacColton]

Both cars may suffer paint damage. Here are some tips for maintaining your car's paint: 1. Before, during, and after vehicle use: Promptly remove dust from the car body to minimize static electricity's attraction of dust. 2. After rain: Rinse the car immediately, as rain marks on the car will gradually shrink, increasing the concentration of acidic substances in the rainwater. 3. When washing the car: Wait until the engine has cooled down. Avoid washing in direct sunlight or high temperatures to prevent detergent from drying and leaving marks. Use specialized car wash detergent and neutral water. Avoid using highly alkaline detergents like laundry powder, soap, or dishwashing liquid, as they can strip the protective oils from the paint and accelerate aging. 4. When wiping the car: Use a clean, soft cloth or sponge to prevent mixing in metal shavings or sand particles. Wipe gently in the direction of water flow from top to bottom, avoiding circular or horizontal motions.
