Frequent washing with hard tap water o r harsh detergents in Pakistan significantly worsens Alsvin’s paint condition. Hard water leaves behind calcium and mineral stains, especially on darker colors, and if not dried properly, these deposits etch into the clear coat. Harsh detergents like laundry surf, often used at local service stations, strip away the protective wax o r polish layers and degrade the paint faster. Combined with abrasive wash mitts o r dirty microfiber cloths, these practices scratch the paint, reduce shine, and expose the surface to UV and acid rain damage even more quickly.
