from carlocaraddict: can insecticides damage your car's paint?

[ronald_m]

Sorry to say, but if the chemical goes thru the clear coat and paint the detailer can't do anything about it.Probably he can do a touch up if it's small.

aba, yabang na netong si carlo ah.... may proxy posting pa.

actually, insecticides which are waterbased don't have that paint damaging properties. in fact, even kerosene based insectides dont. afaik, only solutions which have solvents do affect car paints.

Yun din sabi ko kay Carlo when he called me up yesterday sa shop...

First kutob ko was bat droppings... highly acidic kasi, but sabi ni Carlo the car was indoor lang since the last wash.

In addition sa gitna ng hood halos yung spot, so medyo ruled out ang brakefluid or something na accidental drip kasi sigurado may smaller drips yun sa gilid.

Di kaya Downy?

[baiskee]

nakow, harsh pala downy... carlo, mag COMFORT na lang kayo.

[chain]

chemical reaction? tanggal ang paint talaga and stripped down hanggang masilya?

[theveed]

According to Carlo, tuklap daw pintura, umaangat na...

According to Carlo, tuklap daw pintura, umaangat na...

yikes! repaint na iyan touch up paint muna pansamantala...

[chain]

hmm hard to say pero kung indoor yung auto, agree ako na hindi pwedeng tree sap or droppings.. mukhang house-hold chemical ang nakadale nga dyan.

[ILuvDetailing]

nakow pag tuklap repaint na yan... or pag maliit, pwede mong pa touch up para di magkalawang.

baka naman nag fiesta mga bats o ibon sa garahe

nakapark sa garahe ever since the last car wash? hindi ba galing probinsya parents ni carlo? he said na maduming madumi yung CRV nila, posibility of acid rain? best bet is a bird or bat droplings. napuruhan ng bato on the highway?

[Bogeyman]

Baka may naghugas ng pinggan sa garahe. Dishwashing liquid? O baka Clorox?

[BlueBimmer]

baka may nagbabate ng itlog tapos natalsikan hehe
