Chicago is rough on paint. If you drive here, you already know.
Salt scratches the clear coat

Tight spots, parallel parking, car doors, and backpacks scraping by.
Automatic washes create micro-scratches
Those spinning brushes? They leave swirls every time.
Weather fades paint fast
Sun, moisture, and industrial fallout break down the finish.
