Matters needing attention in rainy day car maintenance

Timely cleaning:

In case of heavy rain, the car should be cleaned in time after returning, otherwise sludge may accumulate in the gap under the car, which is the place where moisture can be hidden and the place where it is most prone to rust.

Paint protection:

The acidic components in the rain have a strong corrosive effect on the automobile paint surface, which will cause damage to the automobile paint surface over time. Therefore, in the rainy season, it is best to repair the paint surface of the car. The simplest thing is waxing, and the more long-lasting and effective thing is sealing glaze. No matter what method, put an invisible protective coat on the car to prevent the paint from fading and aging, so that the beautiful car capacity will always be around.

Chassis maintenance:

Chassis is the closest part to the ground, which is particularly affected by road conditions. Generally, this part is the easiest to rust, and the wheel shell will even be loose and perforated. Therefore, the car itch reminds the majority of riders that they must pay attention to the cleaning and antirust treatment of the car chassis. If the chassis antirust treatment is done once, the antirust effect can be maintained for 3 months. Do not use alkaline cleaning solution to clean the car body and chassis after anti-rust care, which will affect the anti-rust effect and shorten the anti-rust time.

Ignition start:

On rainy days, car owners often encounter the problem that the engine is not easy to start, and sometimes even if it is barely started, it is weak. The biggest reason for this problem is that the humidity in the ignition system leads to leakage. In addition, it may be that the weather turns cold when it rains, and the hot air sealed in the distributor may condense into water droplets, causing a small area of the distributor to flood, thus losing its normal ignition function.

Once it is found that the wet ignition system leads to poor ignition and engine performance declines, it is best to dry the inside and outside of the distributor and wires with a dry paper towel or dry cloth, and then spray desiccant on the distributor cover, battery connector, spark plug, high-voltage line and ignition coil with a special desiccant spray can, and then start the engine later.

Brake drainage:

The vast majority of automobile braking systems are double-tube vacuum-assisted hydraulic braking, and it is worth noting that the brake fluid that transmits braking force has strong water absorption. If water enters the brake fluid, the high temperature generated by friction will make the water evaporate during braking. However, gas is compressible, and being compressed in brake fluid will cause braking failure or even failure. When there is a lot of rain, the humidity of the air will get bigger and bigger. It is very dangerous if there is a small amount of water in the brake fluid before the rainy season. Some vehicles with serious brake fluid water absorption can see water droplets on the brake fluid oil cup cover. Therefore, the majority of car owners are specially reminded to check the brake fluid during maintenance to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers.
