Will Toothpaste Corrode Car Paint When Washing a Car?

[VanCole]

Toothpaste can corrode car paint when used for washing, and the reason is: toothpaste contains abrasives. Using toothpaste to wash a car can wear down the paint to some extent, but it can also be used to repair minor scratches and dents on the car's paint surface. The method for removing car scratches with toothpaste is: 1. Wet a cloth and wipe off the dust on the scratched area; 2. Squeeze toothpaste onto a napkin; 3. Gently rub the scratched area with the toothpaste until the scratch is no longer visible; 4. Wet a cloth and wipe off the toothpaste from the car body. Methods for maintaining car paint include: 1. Promptly remove dust from the car body to minimize the adsorption of dust due to static electricity; 2. Rinse off rain stains with clean water as soon as possible after rain to avoid damaging the paint surface; 3. Avoid washing the car under direct sunlight or high temperatures; 4. Use clean, soft cloths or sponges when scrubbing the car to prevent metal shavings and sand particles from causing scratches.
