Science of Detailing

Infographic titled 'The 48-Hour Rule: Acid vs. Paint'. Top panels illustrate the high acidity of love bugs and bird droppings (pH 3-4.5) and the 'Heat Trap' thermodynamics where paint pores expand in Florida heat to let acid in, then close at night to trap it. Bottom panels show the resulting permanent 'Type II Etching' crater in the clear coat versus the solution: a 'Sacrificial Barrier' of ResistAll Paint Protection blocking the acid. Branded by Pauls Details 904.

The 48-Hour Rule: The Chemistry of Love Bugs and Why They Eat Your Paint

Love bugs and bird droppings aren't just dirty—they are acidic chemical bombs (pH 3.0-4.5). Learn the thermodynamics of the 'Heat Trap' effect, where the Florida sun forces acid deep into your paint's pores, causing permanent 'Type II Etching' in less than 48 hours. Discover the science behind why you can't wait to wash your car and how Pauls Details 904 uses ResistAll as a sacrificial barrier to save your clear coat.
