Brilio.net - Having a car means you have to be prepared for maintenance, which can be said to be difficult and easy. Not only does it have to be serviced regularly, the car also has to be kept clean. Especially the car body. The reason is that this part is very vulnerable to getting dirty or scratched.

Dirt on the car body usually comes from road dust. Meanwhile, scratches on cars usually arise from rubbing against hard objects or being hit by gravel. Scratches can also occur if the car body is washed with a sponge or cloth with a rough surface.
