- the use of washing dirty rags from adhering to them particles of sand and dust;
- the careless opening of doors in the Parking lot.
The reasons can be listed for a long time, while some of them may be the most banal. For example, resting on the hood of a cat is also quite capable of inflicting damage to the paintwork of your car, seemingly gentle claws...
