Car owners and friends should pay attention to the knowledge of car maintenance after the rain.

The baptism of rainstorm is not a good thing for cars, and the maintenance of cars is urgent. In rainy season, car maintenance should be more careful. Today, I will talk about several important steps of car maintenance after the rain.

1, clean the body.

After a rain, the impact on the paint surface is actually the biggest. The reason is that rainwater is not only mixed with dust in the air, but also contains a lot of acidic harmful substances, which will have a great impact on the life of paint if it adheres to the paint for a long time. So it's best to wash the car as soon as possible after the rain and keep the paint clean. You can wax the car if you can, and the effect is very good.

2. Check the lights

After heavy rain or accumulated water, if the headlights are of poor quality, it is easy to get water. After the headlights enter the water, not only the brightness will be affected, but also the circuit of the headlights may be damaged, and the irradiation direction of the headlights will be changed, which will bring hidden dangers to driving safety. So it is very important to check whether the lights are submerged after the rain. If you find water mist in the headlights, you can turn on the headlights and observe for a while to see if the water mist has disappeared. If it doesn't get better, you need to go to a professional repair shop to stick the lamp again to solve the problem.

3, check the circuit

After the rain, the car may be difficult to start, which is mostly caused by the wet ignition system. Once the wet ignition system is found to cause poor ignition and performance degradation, the distributor and wires can be temporarily wiped with a dry paper towel or dry cloth. If it is aging or leaking, it must be replaced in time.

4. Check the braking system

When it rains, the brake disc will inevitably come into contact with water, so after it rains, you will find that the brake disc is covered with rust. The brake disc itself is cast iron, so it is normal to rust. However, it should be noted that if the brake disc is found to be rusty after raining, please don't worry. Get the car out and brake moderately on the road. After repeated pressing several times, the rust on the brake disc will be removed, so that your driving will be safer. If you brake suddenly before the rust wears out, it will affect the braking distance.

Finally, remind car owners to make preparations in advance when driving in rainy days, and try to avoid stagnant water and sinking sections of overpasses. Don't think that heavy rain will save you the cost of car washing, but actually increase the cost of car maintenance. After the car has been baptized by heavy rain, the owner should take a series of maintenance measures immediately to avoid damage!
