In summer, there is a lot of rain. Many car owners’ cars have been hit by heavy rains or sun exposure in the near future. In fact, too much rain and strong sunlight will cause some damage to the paint and parts of the car, so how should car owners maintain their cars in the rainy season?
1. Try to wash the car as soon as possible
Some car owners may think that heavy rain is a good opportunity to wash the car. In fact, due to the high probability of acid rain, acid rain has a corrosive effect on the paint surface. Therefore, after being washed by heavy rain, the car must be washed in time to remove the influence of acidic substances. In addition, in the rainy season, the car owner may wish to give the car a waxing or sealing glaze paint treatment. This is also equivalent to adding a protective cover to the car. In addition, after it rains, the car rushes through the water, which often causes the underside of the vehicle to “hold dirt and dirt”, and it must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to cause rust.
2. Chassis care to prevent rust
As mentioned above, the underside of the vehicle is easy to get dirty and rust when it passes through water and other places . Among them, the chassis, as the part closest to the ground, is also the most affected. In this case, you may wish to give the chassis a cleaning and anti-rust treatment. In addition, vehicles without chassis molding can also be done once, which is also a better way to maintain the chassis.
3. Turn off the ignition while driving and re-ignite immediately
In rainy days, car owners will often encounter the phenomenon that they cannot start. It is reported that most of this is caused by the wet ignition system. Once this phenomenon occurs, the circuit equipment should be checked in time, and the circuit equipment such as spark plugs should be wiped dry with a dry cloth, and then it can be restarted after a while. It is worth reminding that when encountering heavy rain or passing through deep stagnant water, if the engine suddenly shuts down while driving, do not recklessly start it again, otherwise the engine may be damaged or even scrapped.
4. Don’t “dress” the car when it’s windy and rainy
Many car owners put a car cover on their car habit, hoping to reduce the damage caused by the external environment to the surface of the car. In fact, when the weather is sunny, it can indeed have the functions of dustproof, sunscreen, acid rain, etc., but once it is windy and rainy, the “car cover” may cause more damage to the car. . When the wind blows, the car cover tends to slap the car body under the action of the wind, causing damage to the car paint. In addition, if sand is blown into the car body, it will often make countless small scratches on the body, so this kind of protection is often not worth the loss.
