May 11, 2020

The hot weather is irritating and hot, and we can hide in the car for a while by blowing air-conditioning to withstand the heat, but don’t forget that the hard-working car at this time also needs “hot weather” to shower for a cold shower. Today we come to talk about your own hands-on Car Wash.

Car owners themselves do their own car wash, subject to restrictions and constraints of venues, equipment, experience, technology and other factors, it is impossible to be as professional as a regular car wash. Therefore, the owner should pay attention to some details that are easily overlooked in the process of washing the car by himself and get out of the “contraindications” of the car wash so that he can do more with less.

Taboo one: do not rinse the vehicle, take the rag directly harm the body index: ★★★★★

After a long time driving the car, there must be a lot of dust on the car body. Even though the naked eye looks clean, fine dust, which is not easily noticeable to the naked eye, adheres to the paint surface.

If you do not wash the vehicle in advance with clean water, wipe the body directly with a rag, the dust on the body is very easy to carry out "severe friction movement" on the surface of the paint under the "driving" of the rag, resulting in scratches on the paint. For a long time, the body paint will become "scarred." Therefore, it is recommended that the owner wash the car first with water to wash the dust on the surface of the paint, and then perform the following car wash steps.

Taboo II: in strong sunlight hurt the car wash index: ★★★★

Car wash in strong sunlight, the water droplets on the body is equivalent to a small convex lens. After the direct sunlight is focused by the water droplets, the heat concentration makes it easy to bake the paint. After washing the car in the sun, many car owners found that there were many small spots on the surface of the paint, which was caused by the car washing in the sun. Therefore, it is advisable to find a shaded open space or a cool evening in the car wash. There should be a place near the parking place where you can catch water. Try not to wash your car in the strong afternoon sunlight.

Taboo three: a bucket of water used in the end harm index: ★★★★

Everyone should develop good habits of water conservation in daily life, but it is best not to “embarrass” the car when you do your own car wash. It is not advisable to use a bucket of water in the end.

Because after a few rags are washed, there will be a lot of dust and impurities in the water. If the water is not changed in time, the dust in the water will also adhere to the rags, scratching the paint in the process of wiping the car body, resulting in damage to the paint. Therefore, it is recommended that owners change their water in a timely manner after washing 2 or 3 wipes to ensure a good car wash effect.

Taboo IV: After the rain does not need to hurt the car wash index: ★★★★

Many owners think that after the rain, the vehicle has been washed clean by the rain, there is no need to wash the car, this idea is somewhat subjective.

The rainwater contains acidic components. If the vehicle is not washed in time after the rain, these acidic components will adhere to the paint surface, causing damage to the paint. Moreover, when driving in the rain, the sludge on the road will splash on the body paint surface. If it is not cleaned in time, it will not only affect the appearance of the vehicle, but also will be bad for the paint. Therefore, if the weather turns fine after rain, it is recommended that owners clean the vehicle in time.
