If you don't want to experience any unpleasant surprises on the first day of the new year, you should treat your exclusive vehicle to a secure parking space a few days beforehand, but a garage is even better. Fireworks, firecrackers, table fireworks and rockets can cause enormous damage if they whiz through the air unsecured on New Year's Eve or are deliberately ignited on high-quality vehicles.
When used correctly on the open road, such projectiles rarely cause damage. However, in large cities and where many cars are parked, fireworks can often cause major property damage. If the paint is hit and the firecrackers burn up directly on the paint, the surface is attacked. Sparks and traces of smoke burn into the clear coat and owners of the vehicles often experience a nasty surprise.

Convertibles with their fabric tops are also affected by falling firecrackers and rockets. Vandals even put firecrackers on the vehicle roof and then burn them down. A hole in the hood is often the ugly result. Although the detonator of the rocket is liable, it can still be determined in very few cases.
Unwelcome contemporaries also abuse vehicles by breaking objects or scratching the paintwork. In the end, your own fully comprehensive insurance or partial comprehensive insurance must pay for the damage.
Our advice:
We therefore advise the owners to look for secure places for their automobile darlings. Of course, underground car parks and stable shelters are best suited. If these are not available in big cities, for example, the owner should at least look for a quiet side street for his car or sports car. There may also be the possibility to park your vehicle in a multi-storey car park and thus protect it from pyrotechnic gimmicks.
