Hi. I have a white 2017 civic. I've gotten it detailed only once. You can visibly see faded patches on it and the car is now slightly off white if you carefully see. My friend says that my paint is on its way out and the only way is repaint now which is absurd because the car is just 4 years old.
The other day a bike hit me and left some plastic rubber residue on one of the fenders. My friend rubbed it off with some polish and it cleaned the paint underneath. The color difference was crazy and now I'm going to get it detailed ASAP. I'm attaching an image of it. Kindly tell me if my friend was right or not. I think the paint will be good as a new after a detail. Let me know if you can recommend a good service which is easy on the pocket in Karachi. Thankyou!
