Why Do Scratches on My Suzuki Cultus Appear So Easily?

I’ve noticed that my Suzuki Cultus is prone to scratches, even from minor contact with other objects, like tree branches o r other cars. What could be causing these scratches to appear so easily? Is it the softness of the paint, o r are there other factors at play? How can I prevent my car’s paint from getting scratched so quickly?

The Suzuki Cultus might be more prone to scratches due to a few reasons:

Soft Paint: Many Suzuki models, including the Cultus, use relatively soft paint compared to other brands. This makes it more susceptible to scratches from even light contact.
Environmental Factors: Dust, tree branches, and even accidental brushing against objects can cause scratches. In Pakistan, where dust and debris are common, the cars paint is often subjected to these elements.
Frequent Car Washes: Using harsh brushes o r towels during car washes can also lead to micro-scratches over time, especially if the car isn’t properly rinsed before drying.
Solution:

Paint Protection: Applying a ceramic coating o r paint protection film PPF can add an extra layer of defense against scratches.
Use Soft Cloths: Always wash your car using a microfiber towel and soft sponge. Avoid using rough cloths that can cause scratches.
Protective Coatings: Consider applying a scratch-resistant coating o r clear film on high-risk areas like the bumpers, side panels, and door edges.
