For the most part pollution plays a vital part in cars paint and the exterior features that are associated with the vehicles. One factor that plays a role in the deterioration of paint is the weather, because of high amounts of rain or water systems that can over time when added sunlight occurs allows for the vehicles integrity to break down. Another factor that plays a part which is common is smog, exhaust, or power plant facilities that put a lot of emissions (nitric oxide) out within the air and this plays a part in the deterioration of the color scheme. Many people don’t know that over time if staying by the beach, most cars become corrosive due to the large amounts of sodium chloride (salt) in the air mixed with water and sunlight impact vehicles. The amounts of pollution in the air with sunlight and weather aspects over time can play a crucial role in the paint, color, and luster of cars over time.
