Maintenance secrets of automobile paint

Car paint is the face of a car. If the surface of the car is well maintained, it will be as bright as new even after driving for several years, otherwise? It looks very old. Although car paint is a routine 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 the car 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, exposure to the sun for a long time will easily oxidize the car 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 don't have the habit of checking the car body and cleaning 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, the stones and mud spots bounced off the tires hit the paint surface, which is very harmful to the paint surface. 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. Car owners can use small tools such as complementary color pens to repair them. In addition, in the rainy and snowy season, the car should be washed with clear water in time, and how to dry it gently with a smooth rag. Don't let the car dry naturally.

Prevent scratches

For impatient car owners, they like to overtake in the cracks. Not to mention that safety is not guaranteed, and the car body is easily scratched by collision. 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 drive carefully and don't compete with other cars on the road. 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 usually have a protective wax on the outer layer, which needs to be waxed after one year. Car owners had better go to the 4s shop and ask professionals to remove the anti-corrosion layer with wax-opening liquid. Although domestic cars don't need waxing, they should be carefully cleaned with dirt after the first use. In addition, no matter what brand, the appearance of new cars has protective wax. So what? Don't wax for a 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 and expose the interior paint of the car. The car paint layer itself is very thin. After one or two polishing, the protection ability is getting worse and worse, and the paint surface is prone to aging. So, what about cars? It should be easy to polish. If the car is polished, it needs more careful protection.

Step 6: Apply sealing glaze

Painting and glaze sealing are common methods for automobile maintenance. Compared with waxing, they have a longer shelf life, and can increase the strength of car paint and prevent small scratches. Whether coating or sealing glaze is better, in terms of nursing methods, pure manual coating is better.
