Is there a "cycle" theory for car washing?
Many car owners are confused about when to wash their cars. In fact, there is no fixed cycle for car washing. On rainy days, the car body will be muddy after a trip, but if it is sunny for a long time, we may only wash it once every half a month or even a month.
So, when we think the car can be cleaned, we can prepare water, detergent, rags and other items, roll up our sleeves and start washing.
So how to wash the car correctly?
Be careful! Be vigilant about these car washing methods
1. One bucket of water and one piece of cloth to wash a car
In order to save time and effort, many car owners only prepare one bucket of water and one piece of cloth for one car. When washing the car, use a soaked rag to wipe the vehicle. When the water and cloth are covered with mud and sand, continue to wipe. Not only will the vehicle not be well cleaned, but the paint will also be scratched.
Car washing suggestions
First, we spray the car body with pre wash to wash away the mud and sand;
Then, use a soft towel to scrub. Do not use detergents or washing powder with strong alkalinity, which will accelerate the aging of paint and parts such as tires;
When washing the car, we must replace the dirty water in time.
2. Washing the car under the scorching sun
Some car owners like to wash their cars under the scorching sun because the car is easy to dry. However, the water film formed after washing the car will gather strong sunlight, causing the car body to heat up rapidly locally and damage the paint. The color of the paint may darken over time.
Car washing suggestions
We can choose to wash the car in the shade, or wash it in the morning or evening on cloudy or sunny days. After washing, try to dry the car.
3. The order of car washing is random
Some car owners are more willful when washing their cars, and they pick up water guns to spray the car body at will, which requires repeated washing later, which is time-consuming and laborious.
On the other hand, they use a "one-size-fits-all" approach to stains on different parts, which accidentally causes damage to the car paint.
Car washing suggestions
In terms of the order of car washing, we can follow the cleaning order from top to bottom, and pay attention to the cleaning between each gap.
Treat different types of stains differently. For example, when cleaning stubborn water stains, we can pour the detergent on the sponge, wipe it, and then wash it with clean water; for air-dried animal feces and shellac, we can spray neutral detergent on the stains, wait for it to soften, and then wipe it off with a wet paper towel.
4.After washing the car, you still need to pay attention to the following points
Before driving again, we should wait until the car body is dry before setting off;
During driving, we can open the car window to let the wind blow away the moisture and the smell of detergent in the car;
After washing the car, try to avoid emergency braking and step on the brake pedal gently;
If you do not use the car temporarily after washing, we need to wipe off the water stains on the brake pads and door locks to prevent rust on the parts.
