Car Wash Taboo No. 1 : Do you have to choose a date and time for car washing?

Many riders love their cars like their lives, and they will bathe their cars when they are free. But in fact, it is best to choose a suitable time for car washing, especially at noon and when the sun is shining. This is because at high temperature, the water droplets on the 26 paint surface will evaporate quickly, leaving water marks if they are small, which is unsightly. However, if the car is washed under the sun for many years, the water droplets will actually form a concentrating mirror effect on the paint surface. The temperature of the water dripping on the paint surface will continue to heat up like a BBQ. Over time, it will damage the paint surface and make the paint surface lose luster. If you want your car's paint surface to maintain the luster of a new car, it is better to choose a cool night or a shaded place with cover to wash the car.

Car wash taboo No. 3 : High-pressure water gun jetting at close range

Some riders have a misconception that the high-pressure water gun is more powerful, and the closer it is sprayed, the cleaner it will be. But in fact, the main function of the high-pressure water gun is to wet the car body and wash away the dust and dirt on the car body, so as to prevent the sand and dust from rubbing against the paint of the car body and scratching the paint surface. Rinsing with a high-pressure water gun at too close a distance will also damage the painted surface. Especially nowadays, there are more and more matte car colors for car owners to choose. There is no golden oil layer on the matte paint surface, which will make customers more vulnerable to injury, so pay more attention. When using a high-pressure water gun, it is actually best to keep a certain distance. In addition, when using a high-pressure water gun, you can try to avoid directly washing the instrument panel, wires, water cooling radiators, etc. The electric systems of high-end European brands are relatively fragile and require special care.
