How much damage does it do to the car when it is washed and frozen in winter?

The car is frozen, and washing the car is easy to cause the paint to crack.

Solution:

If you want to deice, you can start the engine first, turn on the warm air in the car, and slowly remove the ice from the ice gap with a special ice shovel for automobile glass. If you take a hot bath after snow, it will ruin your car, because the sudden change of temperature will hurt the paint and make it lose its luster gradually, and your windshield may burst in the pouring hot water.

You can't wash the car directly with cold water after snow, especially after the engine is warmed up, the temperature of the front of the car is high, and cleaning with cold water will cause rapid cooling, which is very unfavorable to the surface paint. At this time, the correct way to wash the car is to start the car and turn on the heating system, and then wipe the car with warm water. After washing, open the door and dry the water to prevent the remaining water at the door crack from freezing.

Extended data:

When washing a car in cold weather, if cold water drips on the car and freezes, it is easy to crack the paint. It's cold in winter, so try to reduce the number of car washes. Be sure to open the door after washing the car and dry the water stains in time to prevent the remaining water from freezing the door. And it is best to wash the car indoors with warm water, because cold water drips on the car, and if it freezes, it will easily lead to cracking of the paint layer.

In addition, the gaps under the front and rear windshields of the vehicle should also be cleaned and the wipers should be dried. If the water left on the wiper is not dried, it will quickly form thin ice and freeze the wiper on the glass.
