How to prevent love bug damage

Dont let this happen to your car

Here in Gainesville Florida the conditions for maintaining your car’s paint can be worse than a lot of other places. This is due to the constant UV rays that are blasting your car’s paint as well as the rubber, leather, plastic, and vinyl. The suns harmful rays can damage the automobile’s look very fast if the car is not properly maintained. Gainesville Detailing advises that the car be washed and cleaned inside at least every two weeks. This will prevent harmful bugs, acid rain, or any other contaminants from bonding to the paint and causing damage. A full detail is recommended every 3-4 months. Your particular vehicle may require this more or less frequently depending on how often it is used and the conditions that it comes into contact with. For instance someone who only drives the vehicle a few times a week and keeps it in the garage the majority of the time will not need to get their car detailed with wax and carpet shampooing as much as someone who commutes to work 50 miles a day and lives on a dirt road. One of the biggest paint destroyers that Florida has is the “Love Bug”. If left on a automobiles surface these little pests can and will eat through the clear coat and start damaging the paint. This can happen in a very short period of time. This is why you should not wait to get a car wash done after a long trip or if you notice any bugs starting to accumulate.

Washing your car can be fun, and it’s a rewarding way to protect the investment in your vehicle.

Pinpointing one thing people can do to maintain their car’s value over time is hard. Richard Griot of car-care and tool supplier Griot’s Garage says your investment can be best-served by “keeping its surfaces — the glass, trim, paint and wheels — clean.”
Your car has many enemies, some visible, some not so much. Emissions from industrial plants are released into the environment, where they are transformed into nitric or sulfuric acid. When deposited onto your car, in either a wet or a dry state, these contaminants can eat paint and, in extreme cases, metal.
Temperature accelerates the problem. Acid from bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and even leaves becomes more active when heated. Metal retains heat when sitting out in the sun, which in turn increases the chances that these irritants will cause permanent stains when left on your car.

Discuss: Do you have any comments, tips or techniques on how to properly wash a car?
And even though water is the best way to remove these contaminants, it can also trap them on metal surfaces if not removed itself, allowing oxidation to occur, which ultimately causes rust and corrosion. Sea or road salt exacerbates the problem by causing a chemical reaction that can accelerate pitting and rusting.
But all of these issues pale in comparison to time. The longer an offensive substance is left on your vehicle, the greater the probability and extent of damage.
So what, you say? A few war wounds on the surface on your car are endearing, right? Wrong! What it means to potential buyers — either through the resale market or a trade — in with a dealer — is that you didn’t maintain the vehicle properly. This neglect can bring resale or trade-in values crashing to the ground, all because you failed to wash your car regularly.
The reality is that people often value material things based on the way they look. According to the folks at Kelley Blue Book, aesthetics is one of the top considerations when a person buys a car. And since more people are testing the pre-owned or used market these days, it is important to keep your car looking its best so it’s worth more when you are ready to upgrade to a new car. A vehicle that has a pitted or stained finish or splotches of rust is a turnoff, and thus is worth less than a car that looks pristine, regardless of how you maintained the vehicle mechanically — sad, but true.
If you currently don’t clean your car regularly, it’s not too late to change your ways. Of course, the quickest and easiest way to a sparkling clean car inside and out is to take it to a detail shop for a professional treatment.
