Is sandstorm harmful to cars? How to maintain the car after sandstorm weather?

Yesterday, dust swept through Beijing. Beijing issued a blue warning signal for sand dust and a yellow warning signal for strong wind. The dust in Beijing is filled with yellow eyes. It was not until this evening that the sandstorm weather eased and the blue sky was seen again. But the sandstorm passed, but our car was badly damaged. I believe many friends have found that the inside and outside of the car ravaged by dust are covered with dust, and there are even some tiny scratches on the car paint. Sandstorms in spring have caused serious damage to the weather. How can we protect ourselves? The harm of sandstorm to cars is mainly manifested in the following aspects: the paint surface of cars is damaged, the mechanical parts of cars are excessively worn due to the dust covered on the car body, dust enters the air conditioning system to produce odor, and dust enters the car, resulting in dirty seats and interiors. Therefore, before the sandstorm comes, we'd better take protective measures in advance. First of all, the first step of dust-proof car protection is car body cleaning. After the vehicle is covered with loess, many car owners will simply turn on the wiper on the glass for cleaning and wipe the body with a rag. These practices will not only not clean up, but also damage the glass and wiper and scratch the car paint. The correct way is to gently wipe off the yellow sand on the glass with a rag or paper towel, and then clean it in a professional car wash shop or by yourself. After cleaning the car body, you can choose waxing or glaze sealing to increase the strength of the car paint and prevent the wind and sand from causing scratches again. The second step is to clean the air filter. Dust weather makes dust particles in the air adhere to the filter, which affects the air intake and engine life. At the same time, when the air intake is small, the automobile power will be affected to some extent, and the engine load and fuel consumption may be increased in severe cases. You should clean the air filter and air conditioning components of your car regularly. If it cannot be cleaned by itself, it should be cleaned and replaced in a specialty store. Be careful not to clean the air filter with gasoline or water. The third step is to clean the car. When cleaning the interior, use a special soft cloth and detergent, and don't wipe the interior of the car with a rag. Plastic and leather materials are more expensive than car bodies, and the most important thing to pay attention to when cleaning after windy days is the scratches that may be caused by dust. If there is a detachable seat cover, it is best to remove it and wash it before summer comes. In addition to the above measures, we need to pay attention to some details. First of all, the car body should be sealed, that is, the gap between the doors should be cleaned, and the window sealing strip should be checked for aging, degumming and cracking. If necessary, the aging sealing strip should be replaced to enhance the sealing performance of the car and prevent sand from entering. Secondly, clean the wiper. Tiny grains of sand will be hidden under the wiper. Remove the wiper for cleaning or wipe it with a rag. Finally, check whether the condenser and water tank of the vehicle have dust and sundries that affect heat dissipation, and clean them up in time. When driving in dusty weather, try not to use air conditioning or turn on internal circulation mode. Clean it up in time after the dust, and make regular protection at ordinary times. These are all effective ways to prevent sandstorm weather from damaging cars.
