LA basin, street-parked
Rock chips, debris strikes and sideswipes from heavy truck traffic.
Rear-end collisions in stop-and-go freeway congestion.
Sun-baked paint on vehicles that live on driveways and streets.
The I-5, I-605, I-710, I-105 and CA-91 crisscross the Gateway Cities, and interchanges like the I-5/I-605 and I-605/CA-91 back up daily.
Basin cars live outdoors, in traffic and on the street. Sun, traffic film and bird droppings etch clearcoat, and street parking multiplies scrapes and hit-and-run damage. Small breaks in the paint are cheapest to fix before they spread.
