Okay so I need some honest advice from people who actually know what they're doing because I feel like I'm slowly destroying my car without realising it. I moved to The Palm about six months ago and my parking situation is basically right on the water, like I can hear the waves from my bedroom and my car sits outside 24/7 exposed to everything. I've started noticing these little orange spots on the white paint that won't wash off and someone told me it's industrial fallout or something from the sea air. I've been looking for
Maintenance tips for seaside drivers
and found a pretty helpful page on nolcardcheck that talked about using fallout removers and sealants but honestly I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the different products and don't want to make things worse by using the wrong thing. Also my windows sometimes have this film on them that feels almost greasy even after a wash – is that salt residue? Anyone else living on the Palm or in similar spots have a simple routine that doesn't require spending hours every weekend detailing? I just want to keep my car looking decent without turning into a full time car obsessive.
