I keep getting shocks when I touch my car, such as opening and closing doors, also outside I get shocks when I pick up iron.

Hi Jean-Pierre,
Any object can become electrostatically charged by friction. So is a car. Since there has been more and more plastic in the cars in recent years, the load is increasing. Since a car is on 4 tires that isolate the car from the ground, you are the conductor who will divert the load to the ground.
The only solution is to use a strip that connects to the ground when stationary and thus diverts the load.
Good luck
