5 foolproof tips to protect your car's paint shine
Maintaining the flawless shine of your car's paint is not just a matter of aesthetics, it's also a way to protect its value and extend the life of the finish.
With these 5 essential care tips , you will prevent the paint from becoming dull, scratched, or losing its original protection.
1. Wash it with suitable products
Forget about household detergents or all-purpose soaps. Automotive paint needs neutral shampoos designed not to damage the protective coating.
• Always wash in the shade.
• Rinse first to remove dust and dirt before using the sponge or glove.
• Use microfiber gloves that won't scratch the surface.
👉 At SupremoClean we recommend Turquoise Shampoo , ideal for a safe wash and a shiny finish.
2. Dry thoroughly to avoid stains
Letting the car air dry is a common mistake that causes watermarks.
• Use highly absorbent microfiber towels , soft and safe for painting.
• Dry from top to bottom to avoid spreading dirt.
With proper drying, the paint maintains its mirror-like reflection for longer.
3. Protect with wax or sealant
After washing, apply a protective wax or sealant like Titanium . This creates a barrier against UV rays, acid rain, and environmental pollution.
• The wax or sealant should be applied every 2 or 3 weeks.
• Ceramic or graphene sealants last much longer and withstand extreme conditions.

4. Avoid extreme sun and seek shade
UV rays and prolonged heat oxidize and dull the paint. Whenever possible:
• Park in the shade or covered areas.
• Use breathable covers if you leave your car outdoors for a long time.
This will keep the color vibrant for years.
5. Clean up contaminants immediately
Bird droppings, tree sap, and insects are highly corrosive.
• If you leave them for too long, they stain and even lift the paint.
• Always have SupremoClean ZAFIRO or a damp cloth on hand to remove them immediately.

Every six months, decontaminate your car with a clay bar and renew the protective coating with a good sealant. It's the best-kept secret to keeping your car looking freshly detailed.
