Car cleaning, maintenance and repair in 3 steps

As the saying goes, "A man depends on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle." Appearance is the most intuitive factor for people to judge the quality of things. This is especially true for cars. Even if a car is not a famous brand, it can still make people's eyes brighter. If a famous car is a famous car, it will not make people like it if it is dirty and messy inside. To keep your car clean and tidy on the outside and inside, it must be taken care of like a beautiful woman. It needs to be taken care of from the outside to the inside in order to be "beautiful on the outside and wise on the inside".

How to “beautify” your car?

Rinse with warm water and soak with clean water

In order to avoid sun exposure, car owners are willing to park their cars under the shade of trees. Gum and bird droppings have become a headache for car owners.

The technical director of the Great Wall Yuankang 4S store said that the most important thing to deal with gum and bird droppings is to grasp the timing of cleaning. The earlier they are dealt with, the easier it is. They can be removed with normal cleaning. If left for too long, the gum and bird droppings will harden and become difficult to remove with simple cleaning, making them cumbersome to handle. At this time, the dirt should be rinsed with warm water, then soaked in clean water, and then treated after the dirt has softened to avoid damage to the paint surface.

In addition to gum and bird droppings, another enemy is asphalt. In high-temperature weather, the road asphalt melts due to heat and will splash onto the vehicle body driven by the wheels. It is difficult to remove after drying, and the paint surface will be corroded and discolored. In more serious cases, the paint may peel off.

When dealing with asphalt, do not use sharp objects such as knives to directly scrape dirt, or use improper organic solvents for sol cleaning. The former will cause scratches on the paint surface, and the latter will cause more serious damage. corrosion. The correct way to deal with it is to use asphalt cleaner, which usually costs more than ten yuan a bottle. Spray the cleaner evenly on the asphalt surface. After a while, wipe it directly with a soft cloth to remove it. For more serious areas, you can repeat it. Spray and wipe and it will be clean in no time.

Asphalt cleaners have many uses. For example, when car owners participate in various activities, they will paste some numbers or event slogans on the car body or glass. Improper handling of these stickers will also damage the paint surface. The correct method is to use a hair dryer to bake the sticker evenly and remove the baked part at the same time. As long as you operate patiently, the sticker can be removed smoothly.

If the surface has been torn, you can spray asphalt cleaner on the glue and wipe it later to achieve good results. Car owners are reminded that when spraying asphalt cleaner, they should try to avoid spraying it on the rubber surface to avoid corrosion.

How to disinfect a car?

To remove odors, use a sauna regularly

High temperature, humidity, and dust can easily make a closed carriage the best breeding ground for bacteria. Carpets, seats, cushions, air-conditioning vents, luggage compartments, etc. in car interiors are often exposed to humid air or water stains, which can easily breed bacteria, mildew, and produce odors. This not only affects the air environment in the car, but also affects the car owner's health. There are also health risks. However, traditional car washing methods cannot remove the bacteria remaining in the car, so it is necessary to disinfect the cabin regularly. Just like people can relieve fatigue by taking a sauna, cars can also be disinfected and sterilized by taking a sauna.

The core of "sauna" lies in steam. When performing a car "sauna", the technician adds water, detergent, and fragrance to the steam engine, and then uses the high-temperature steam sprayed out to clean the leather seats and the inside of the door. Disinfecting upholstery, dashboards, air conditioning vents, carpets, etc. can eliminate stubborn bacteria hidden in gaps.

Combined with professional three-purpose cleaning machines, steam engines, multi-functional disinfection machines (ozone, ultraviolet, infrared, negative ions) and other equipment, it can not only effectively remove the smell of smoke, oil, musty, etc. in the car It also eliminates various odors, the breeding of bacteria and mites, and the fading and yellowing of some leathers due to the damage of the surface protective layer by acidic substances.

Are there any other sterilizing tips?

"Bask in the sun" can also be disinfected

In addition to "high temperature sauna", photocatalysts that have emerged in recent years are also a good disinfection method. Photocatalyst is a disinfection material based on nanoscale titanium dioxide. The principle of disinfection is that after the photocatalyst absorbs ultraviolet rays from sunlight or lighting sources, it undergoes an oxidation-reduction reaction under the stimulation of ultraviolet energy, forming strong oxidizing free radicals on the surface, which decomposes free harmful substances and microorganisms in the air into inorganic substances. Harmful carbon dioxide and water, thereby achieving the purposes of air purification, sterilization, deodorization, etc.

Compared with other disinfection methods, photocatalyst has the four characteristics of safety, thoroughness, efficiency and durability. It can react under normal temperature conditions. The products are carbon dioxide and water, which are safe and harmless to the human body and can decompose air. It removes various harmful organic substances and solves the secondary pollution problem existing in traditional air purification methods. Although photocatalysts have different speeds at decomposing various harmful substances in the air, they can eventually eliminate them all with high efficiency. Titanium dioxide is stable in nature and only plays a catalytic role without loss of itself. Therefore, in theory, the photocatalyst can function forever, and it can last about 5 years in practical applications.
