Maintenance secrets of automobile paint

Car paint is the face of a car. If the surface of the car is well maintained, the car will be as bright as new even after years of driving, otherwise? It looks very old. Although car paint is a regular maintenance item, there are still some places to pay attention to.

Car maintenance is divided into two steps, the first is protection, and then maintenance. Let's talk about how to protect the paint surface from harm.

1. Automobile parking lot

Putting cars in the garage is the best way to prevent direct sunlight or rain erosion, especially for white paint and non-metallic paint bodies. If conditions permit or it is inconvenient to go out, you can park in the shade. Otherwise, prolonged exposure to the sun will easily oxidize the paint. Meanwhile, don't park your car under the tree. It seems to be covered, but in fact, falling fruits and bird droppings will dirty the car body, and twigs may also scratch the paint.

Step 2 keep your body clean

Some car owners do not have the habit of checking and cleaning the car body in time, and often find that the car paint is rusty before they regret it. When the vehicle runs on muddy roads or gravel roads, stones and mud spots bounced off the tires will hit the paint surface, which is very harmful to the paint. On the one hand, the owner should control the speed when driving to this special section; On the other hand, check the body in time after using the car. At this time, the scratch is still very small, so there is no need to go to the 4s shop to handle it. Owners can use touch-up pens and other gadgets to repair it. In addition, in the rainy and snowy season, the car should be cleaned with clear water in time, and how to dry it gently with a smooth rag. Don't let the car dry naturally.

Prevent scratching

For impatient car owners, they like to overtake in the cracks. Not to mention that safety is not guaranteed, and the car body is also vulnerable to collision and scratching. At present, the market share of white cars is high, but the outermost paint of white cars is thin, with poor adhesion effect and easy to be scraped off. Everyone should be careful not to compete with other vehicles on the road when driving. And try not to pass through the narrow flowers to prevent sharp substances such as branches from hurting the paint.

In addition to careful protection, the necessary car "beauty" can also make the car look brand new. Some maintenance misunderstandings need to be corrected here.

4. Wax the new car

Imported cars generally have protective wax on the outer layer, which needs to be waxed after one year. Car owners should go to the 4s shop and ask professionals to remove the anti-corrosion layer with wax remover. Although domestic cars don't need waxing, they should be carefully cleaned with clay after the first use. In addition, regardless of the brand, the appearance of the new car has a protective wax. So what? There is no need to wax within one month to avoid wasting the original wax on the surface.

5. Polishing treatment

Although automobile polishing can effectively remove scratches and difficult-to-handle stains, polishing is very harmful to automobile paint. The step is to polish off the scratched surface to expose the interior paint of the car. The car paint layer itself is very thin, and after one or two polishing, the protection ability is getting worse and worse, and the paint surface is easy to age. So, cars? It should be easy to polish. If the car has been polished, it needs more detailed protection.

Step 6: Apply sealing glaze

Painting and glaze sealing are common methods for automobile maintenance. Compared with waxing, their shelf life is longer, which can increase the strength of car paint and prevent small scratches. Whether it is film coating or glaze sealing, as far as nursing methods are concerned, pure manual film coating is better.
