Why Is the Suzuki Cultus Paint Peeling Off?

Several Suzuki Cultus owners in Pakistan have reported that the paint on their vehicles begins to peel off, especially in areas like the roof and hood. What are the common causes behind paint peeling? Could it be due to poor-quality paint, factory defects, o r the hot and humid climate of Pakistan?

Paint peeling on the Suzuki Cultus is a common issue, particularly in areas where the car is exposed to extreme weather conditions. The primary causes of paint peeling are:

Poor Paint Quality o r Application: Sometimes, the paint used by the manufacturer might not adhere well, leading to peeling over time.
Exposure to Sun and Heat: Pakistans harsh sun can cause paint to deteriorate faster. If the car is not properly protected with wax o r clear coats, the UV rays can break down the paint layer.
Environmental Factors: Pollution, acid rain, o r salty air if you live near coastal areas can also degrade the paint faster.
Improper Maintenance: Scrubbing the car too harshly during washing o r using abrasive materials can cause the paint to lose its bond and start peeling.
Solution:

Protective Coating: Applying a protective wax o r paint sealant can help maintain the paint’s integrity.
Regular Maintenance: Wash your car regularly with appropriate cleaning products and avoid harsh scrubbing.
Repair: If the peeling is significant, it might require repainting o r touch-up work from a professional.
