What harm does snow do to cars?

Car paint is most easily eroded by snow.

Snow water contains high salinity and various alkaline components. Once splashed on the car body and chassis, if it is not cleaned in time, it will cause serious corrosion to the car paint, car chassis and tires. Car paint is most afraid of snow. If the rain and snow covering the car are not removed in time, the car paint will definitely be eroded by acid rain components and corrosive substances in the rain and snow. After a long time, it may rust the car paint, make the bright glaze on the outside lose its luster, and even make the car paint peel off in serious cases.

Therefore, car owners had better wash their cars immediately after the snow stops. Even if the weather forecast shows that it will snow in the next few days, don't delay washing the car. Washing the car immediately after snow will protect the car very well.

If the car is serviced in snowy days:

1. Pay attention to parking in winter night. Parking on snowy days is a problem in itself. If there is no suitable place, you can only stop in the open air, regardless of the ravages of snowflakes. However, you should pay attention to: stop in a place with thick snow on a snowy day, and don't stay in a place where the snow has melted into water, because if there is too much snow, the wheels will freeze, which may lead to the deformation of the wheels when starting! Don't park your car under the tree, because there is too much snow on the tree and it freezes into ice. Leaving it in the car is a big injury.

2. Wash the car in time after heavy snow. Generally, many car owners don't wash their cars after heavy snow, thinking about washing them on sunny days. Du Xun Bian Xiao reminds you: Don't ignore the problem of vehicle cleaning after rainy and snowy weather, because even if the snow on the car body is removed, the erosion of the car paint by residual substances cannot be completely removed.

In addition, the snow on the road surface also erodes the tires. If not cleaned in time, it is easy to change the original physical properties of tires and accelerate aging! Wash the car after the snow, dry the car in time, open the doors and windows, and dry the water in time to prevent the residual water in the cracks, windows and rearview mirrors from freezing. If it is frozen, you can drive the car to the basement, garage and other places with slightly higher temperature, and it will naturally drive after ten minutes. So before washing the car, it is best to stick the keyhole with tape to prevent water from entering.

3. The lights and windows should be well protected. It is difficult to clean the windows when it snows, so you should choose to cover them with cloth. There are also headlights. When the car is driving at night, the headlights will always work and generate heat, melting the snow or mud splashed on the headlights, which will freeze the next day and may damage the headlights. In order to avoid this situation, we should choose to clean the headlights after parking.
