I worked for years as a DOT surveyor along the highways under traffic conditions. While you may not realize it, your vehicle is getting sand blasted all the time. Dirt/grit/rocks/sand all kicked up by moving traffic and most of it by big trucks. Just standing along the shoulder when trucks pasted by you could feel it, always had to look away or get blasted. Once a semi sped past us, kicked up so much grit that a worker 50 ft off the road got it in the face and eyee even with safety glass's on, had to go to ER and have his eye drilled to remove fine dirt. Its not the paint, its the environment that is the problem. Stay of the freeways, don't tailgate etc.
