The clear coat will wear off with time and can also be chipped off by salt, road debris, and nature. You can protect your clear coat by regular washing and waxing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips to protect your clear coat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeep out of the sun as much as possible\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver time, the powerful UV rays in direct sunlight can wear down the clear coat.\u003cbr\u003eHot sunlight can also open small “pores” in your clear coat, allowing more dirt and debris to get in. So, to protect the clear coat and lengthen its lifespan, park in a garage or in the shade whenever possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClear off bird and bug droppings immediately\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBird droppings are highly acidic. If they’re left on the clear coat, they can erode and destroy the layer of clear coat. If you spot any bird or bug droppings, rinse them off immediately with water from a hose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtect your clear coat from salty air\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSalt will corrode the clear coat. So, if you live in a salty coastal climate, keep in mind that you will need to wash off\/rinse your shell the same as you would a surfboard. Salty air and spray are some of the biggest nemeses of clear coating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid getting tree sap on your vehicle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor most, the risk of getting tree sap on your car is much lower than the risk of encountering bird droppings or salty air. However, tree sap is a double threat: the sap can soak into your clear coat and damage it directly, or it can attract dust and dirt and force these materials into your clear coat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand wash and apply wax regularly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWashing will remove dust and dirt that stick to the clear coat over the course of driving. Dirt will quickly wear down your clear coat, so removing the dirt frequently will protect the clear coat and lengthen its lifespan.\u003cbr\u003eMany automotive companies sell special clear-coat protection products that seal and protect your clear coat. To apply the product, simply rub it into the clear coat with a microfiber cloth. Follow the directions printed on the bottle and apply the clear-coat protection roughly as often as you wash your vehicle. You can purchase clear-coat protection products at any large automotive supply store or online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCracked Shell (Life Happens)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepair\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean area with soap, water, and plastic cleaner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrind damaged area, then repair with a PlastiFix® Rigid Plastic Repair Kit or similar product.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlastiFix® is an optimal repair method.
