Can the snow on the car body be washed with hot water?

Do not rinse with hot water.

Do not use hot water to wash the car after snow. The sudden change in temperature will damage the car paint and make it gradually lose its luster. The car windshield may also burst in the pouring hot water. When washing a car after snow, do not use cold water to rinse it directly. Especially after the engine heats up, the temperature of the front of the car is relatively high. Washing with cold water will cause a rapid cooling which is very detrimental to the surface paint, and you cannot directly rinse the engine.

You must wash your car in time after snow. As long as it is covered with snow, you must rinse the snow away with clean water immediately. Because snow contains corrosive components, car paint and rubber will be damaged if covered with snow for a long time. Therefore, you must wash your car in time. If you really don't want to wash your car, it is recommended that car owners pay attention to the weather forecast and prepare newspapers, plastic films or car clothes to cover the car in time to reduce damage to the paint.

Misunderstandings about car washing after snow in winter:

1. Car washing after snow is not timely

Sometimes it rains for several days in a row Some car owners put off washing their cars again and again, only to find that the paint is not as shiny as before. Wash your car promptly after snow. Even if the weather forecast shows that it will snow in the next few days, don’t delay without washing your car. As long as it is covered with snow, wash it away immediately with clean water. Snow contains corrosive components, which can cause damage to the paint, chassis, tires, and wheels if they are covered with snow for a long time.

2. Wash the car yourself without changing the water

Most car owners know that washing the car immediately after snow will protect the car very well. But there are also people whose car paint gets worse the more they wash it. Because these car owners often carry a bucket of water and a rag to wash their cars. It is not impossible to wash your car by yourself, but many people do it wrong. Some car owners only use a bucket of water when washing their cars. The sediment repeatedly entrained in the bucket scratches the car paint.

Besides, it is impossible to wash away the salt and alkaline substances in snow water with just water. It is best to go to a professional car wash shop to wash the car body with a large amount of flowing water and a neutral detergent added to the water. The wheel brush specially used to clean the wheels will scrub the sludge in the wheel hub gaps very cleanly.
