Why Does My Suzuki Wagon Rs Paint Fade So Quickly in the Sun?

Detail: I’ve noticed that the paint on my Wagon R, especially the roof and bonnet, has started fading and losing its shine within just a couple of years. Is this a common issue in Pakistan due to the weather, o r could it be due to low-quality paint used by Suzuki?

Paint fading is a common issue for Suzuki Wagon R owners in Pakistan due to the countrys harsh sunlight, especially in cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. The UV rays from the sun break down the paints clear coat and pigment over time. Unfortunately, Suzuki uses economical paint finishes on budget models like the Wagon R, which are less UV-resistant compared to more premium cars.

To prevent fading:

Park in shaded areas o r use a car cover.

Regularly apply a good-quality wax o r UV protectant.

Wash your car with a pH-neutral shampoo and avoid harsh detergents.
