Rain equals car washing? Car maintenance is very important after the rain.

Many riders have some misunderstandings about car washing. They prefer to wash their cars on sunny days. If it is rainy, they would rather get wet, so it is also a natural car wash, and the car wash fee can be saved. That's not the truth. In some places, the environmental pollution is serious, and rainwater is harmful to cars. What aspects should we pay attention to?

First, dehumidification in the car.

In rainy days, due to various reasons, water can easily enter the crown block, resulting in rust and corrosion of the welded parts between the car door and the car body. The iron parts such as hinges and locks inside the car door will accelerate aging when they contact with water and moisture. It is recommended to turn on the air conditioning, defog and dehumidify when driving in rainy days. It is convenient to remove the accumulated moisture in the car as soon as possible when parking. You can put a simple dehumidification box in the car or a roll of toilet paper to reduce the humidity in the car.

Second, disinfection in the car.

Humidity is easy to breed bacteria, especially in spring and summer. It is very necessary to clean and disinfect the car. The key cleaning parts are: seats, air conditioning outlets, central control panels and dead corners everywhere. The cleaning method is also very simple. Clean with special detergent, and then dry with a dry rag.

Third, pay attention to the maintenance of the chassis

In spring and summer, after heavy rain, the chassis will not only be soaked by rain, but also waste gas, dust, vibration and oil stains will pass through the tiny holes in the chassis, affecting the car body itself and making it rust and peel off. The chassis needs maintenance.

Fourth, clean the car body.

If it is used for a long time in rainy days, there will be a lot of sludge on the road surface, such as tiny asphalt, sand, fallen leaves and so on. If it is not cleaned in time, the sun exposure after fine weather will produce a lot of oxides, which will wear the car paint during driving, making it extremely difficult to clean. Therefore, it should be cleaned in time to prevent the paint surface from fading and aging.

Fifth, check the vehicle circuit.

After the heavy rain, the rain may affect the performance of some parts of the car or affect the normal use of the car. For example, whether the circuit will be short-circuited when it meets water, and whether the water will start when it starts the opportunity. Especially after wading, clean and maintain the circuit equipment and check the braking system.

Sixth, check the headlights.

Heavy rain can easily affect headlights, especially after modification. Water will affect the normal use of headlights and damage the circuit system. After entering the water, there will be water mist in the headlights, which will refract the light and bring security risks.

Experienced old drivers know that after driving in the rain for a long time, try to wash the car first, because the rain contains acidic substances, which will make the car wet and have a great impact on the car. Although it will not be reflected for the time being, it will gradually become a "small hidden danger, a big event."
