How to maintain car paint

Car washing, waxing, glaze sealing, coating, glass coating, invisible car cover, etc. They are all car paint maintenance products. No matter what kind of car, car paint maintenance can't escape the above-mentioned kinds. If you buy a new car and find it difficult to maintain the car paint and don't know where to start, let's discuss these car paint maintenance methods first.

First of all, the paint surface of our vehicle actually consists of four layers. The first layer is electrophoretic phosphating layer, which is unique to the original car paint (note that it is not the original car paint). This layer is a closed metal surface, which plays an anti-corrosion and anti-rust role. The second layer is the intermediate layer, which is what we usually call the intermediate primer. This layer is used as the background color to make the paint have better adhesion.

The third layer is colored paint, which is determined by the color of your car. The fourth layer is varnish, commonly known as varnish, colorless and transparent. Mainly to protect the colored paint surface, improve the gloss and hardness of the paint surface. The maintenance of paint surface is a science. If the paint is well maintained and shiny, it will be comfortable for a person to drive and others will be impressed by you.

But how to maintain the paint surface is the best and most professional. Let's start with the most basic car wash point. To keep the paint clean, washing the car is essential. Of course, the more times you wash your car, the better. Of course not. Too frequent car washing will lead to car washing marks on the surface of car paint.

Generally speaking, it is good to wash the car three or four times a month. Of course, the rainy season is another matter. At the same time, try not to put it under trees, air conditioners or range hoods in summer, so as to avoid chewing gum, air conditioning water and lampblack damaging the paint surface.

It used to be that most new cars needed waxing first, but now they are covered with a layer of release paper. After tearing it off, wash off the glue with asphalt cleaner and then apply new car wax. In order to prevent the car paint from being damaged during transportation, some cars are coated with hard resin wax to protect the car paint, and they need to go to the car beauty salon for waxing after purchase.

Park the car in a safe place. The parking space is too small. Please don't act rashly without being sure. Please leave enough space in front, back, left and right to prevent others from accidentally scratching your car. When parking, pay attention to the dangerous buildings around. Sometimes even branches can damage the paint.

Remember, don't park at intersections, corners, etc. This is likely to lead to traffic accidents. The traffic police will never be soft on such illegal parking. Glass coating is an effective method to protect car paint at present. Its principle is to form a durable hard glass protective layer and ultraviolet filter layer on the surface of car paint.

The protective layer will not change the material due to the sudden change of temperature, which can improve the mirror gloss and hardness of the car paint surface and effectively prevent the damage of external harmful substances to the car paint. Compared with traditional manual waxing, this electronic coating is more closely combined with wax layer and car paint, and it is more durable than manual waxing.

The effect of the coating can be maintained for more than one year, but it is difficult to exceed two years. Sealing glaze is also a kind of advanced wax mold. Sealing and polishing every 3-4 months will make the maintenance effect more lasting and brighter than waxing. You can also use a vibrating waxing machine to complete the glaze sealing project. Glaze wax molecules can further penetrate into the paint surface through vibration, forming a wax film of antirust layer.

As for the price, it will certainly be more expensive than just waxing. There are also many places to pay attention to in the daily maintenance of automobile paint. First of all, avoid cleaning the paint surface directly with a feather duster or a dry cloth. After cleaning the dust and dirt on the car surface with water, wipe it with a clean absorbent cloth, and don't let it dry by itself after cleaning.

Secondly, when parking, we should consider avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun, especially white and non-metallic paints. Third, we should reduce the number of car washes and try not to wax and polish vehicles. Fourth, we should pay attention to the timely disposal of corrosive items such as bird droppings. Fifth, pay attention to reducing corrosive places when driving. For example, the seaside, roads dotted with melting snow, and newly paved asphalt roads. 6. After high-speed driving in summer, the insect bodies hit by the front of the car should be cleaned up in time. If it is not cleaned in time, the paint surface of the vehicle will be corroded in a short time, and the vehicle is a consumable. After a long time, paint aging is inevitable. Treat it with a normal heart, regardless of gains and losses.
