Yes. Common practices in local Pakistani service stations can seriously damage paint, including:

Use of harsh detergents o r dishwashing liquids strips protective wax

High-pressure water guns used too close to the surface

Dirty cloths o r brushes causing swirl marks

Lack of drying care, which leaves hard water stains

These methods can weaken Changan Kalam’s already thin paint, accelerating fading and scratching.
