We’re unable to find any information indicating that a banana peel can ruin the paint on a car.

Cars are tough, but that colorful coating on the outside isn’t as durable as one may think. Car paint is actually quite brittle and sensitive to the elements. Everyday items your car encounters can seriously damage your paint’s finish if left untreated. Here’s a quick list of what kinds of things can damage your paint:

Bugs
Tree Sap
Eggs
Ice
Tar
Gasoline
Food
Dust
Silly String, Shaving Cream

Most of the common causes of car paint damage are, unfortunately, unavoidable. While car paints today are manufactured using advanced technologies and methods that have improved durability, over time, nature takes its toll with fading and cracking.

However, there are steps you can take to make your car paint last longer. Here are some of the most common causes of car paint damage shared by Doityourself.com.

Metallic car paint can certainly make a car stand out. However, it’s quite expensive, so if you have already spent the money to make your car look special, you should keep the paint job looking its best for a long time.

It takes regular effort to protect the paint, but it pays off in the long run, as you’ll end up spending less on maintaining a great-looking car. Learn how to make metallic car paint last longer at Doityourself.com.
