Crown Hyundai St. Petersburg Service Center Says Remove These 4 Things from your Finish Now

Jun 22, 2013

While our St. Petersburg new and used Hyundai vehicles are manufactured to handle the many different road conditions we face each day, there are some things that can quickly do a lot of damage to your vehicle’s paint and finish if allowed to remain on your vehicle.

The worst of these things include:

Bird Droppings

Birds and cars have a long history. Whenever you are driving a nice, clean car there is likely a bird around to change all of that. If you park in a public area, it is no surprise that birds may take aim for your vehicle. The droppings they deliver contain a lot of acid which is harmful to paint and needs to be removed as soon as possible with a thorough washing. The longer the droppings are allowed to remain on the vehicle, the more damage it can do.

Sprinklers

If you park your vehicle within reach of an automatic sprinkler system, you will want to think of an alternate location. Sprinklers may appear to be harmless but the water than comes from the sprinklers contains minerals that will cause spots all over your vehicle. These mineral spots are actually difficult to remove so unless you can towel dry your vehicle each time the sprinklers turn on, you’ll want to avoid the water as much as possible to prevent these hard to remove spots from settling in.

Dead Bugs

Travel down any road in the summer time and you’ll come away with a hood filled with dead bugs. After you hit the bugs, their bodies excrete acid which will eat away at your paint and ruin your vehicle’s finish. Bugs can also be very difficult to remove without the right tools our professional service center technicians use so it is important to schedule help right away and reduce the amount of acid your paint is exposed to after encountering the many bugs flying around.

Finger Graffiti

Some may think it funny to write witty sayings on your vehicle’s dirty surface but it’s no laughing matter than the finger writing causes the dirty to scratch the finish on your vehicle. Such graffiti marks can actually become permanent if not properly washed off.
