1. Wash the car promptly;

After heavy snow, municipal departments usually spray a large amount of snow melting agent on the roads. We all know that snow melting agents inevitably contain a large amount of chemicals. Although they can accelerate snow melting, the residual snow melting agents splashed by driving on the car paint can also seriously corrode the car paint. Therefore, after driving on snowy days, it is important to wash the car as soon as possible to ensure the health of the paint.

 

2. Do not wash the car with hot water;

Many small car wash shops use hot water to wash their cars because car wash workers are afraid of cold hands, but they don't like to take "hot baths" when it comes to cars. Everyone knows the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. The damage to car paint caused by cold winter, warm water, and sudden temperature changes is needless to say, and the glass of a car may also explode when you wash it with hot water. So, when washing the car, just use room temperature water from the water pipe.

 

3. The seam of the car door needs to be wiped dry;

After washing the car in winter, it is necessary to wipe it dry, not only the body of the car, but also the sealing gaps of the car doors. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be "frozen" in the car and unable to open the door.

 

4. The keyhole needs to be blown dry;

The keyhole is something we don't pay much attention to because most of our cars now use remote control to open or lock the doors. But if the remote control fails, we must use the key to open the car door. If the keyhole is blocked by ice, I believe you will regret not drying it at that time. And in hidden places like keyholes, the water entering the car wash may freeze and not melt inside

 

5. The wipers need to be wiped dry;

When washing a car, the wipers are also a key focus. If not wiped dry, the water remaining on the wipers will quickly form thin ice, freezing the wipers onto the glass. If you use a wiper at this time, it is very likely to burn out the wiper motor.READ MORE!!
