After a winter in a car, both the exposed and internal parts will age due to temperature differences, dust, and air. Harmful bacteria will also become active as the temperature increases. If you love a car, you need to do a thorough cleaning and thorough cleaning from inside out. What precautions should car owners pay attention to when maintaining their beloved car? As the scorching weather approaches, cars are about to face the test of hot weather. In order to better help their beloved car meet the challenge, some necessary maintenance still needs to be done by the owner themselves.
Clean the air inside the car
Entering summer, most car owners will clean and maintain the interior of their cars. After cleaning the interior, the car will immediately take on a new look, but don't think it's a complete success. Because the seemingly clean interior of the car actually contains many invisible bacteria, mites, and occasionally emits a pungent odor, it is necessary to clean the air inside the car.
In hot weather, dust and food residue inside the car are prone to breeding bacteria and mites. At the same time, spring is a period of frequent respiratory diseases, and the space inside the car is limited, making passengers the most likely to transmit bacteria to each other. Therefore, killing harmful bacteria in cars is a very important task. Generally speaking, there are two methods: steam sterilization and photocatalyst.
Steam sterilization is the process of aligning the steam nozzle of a steam engine with the ceiling, seats, floor mats, air conditioning vents, instrument panel, and trunk. The steam sprayed by the steam engine at a temperature of up to 130 ℃ is used to kill harmful bacteria in the car and remove odors from the air.
Photocatalyst is sprayed on the ceiling, non-contact operating surface, and around the car door to decompose small substances such as bacteria, mites, and odors into carbon dioxide and water, thereby achieving the purpose of sterilization and deodorization.
Paint cosmetic care
In summer, the amount of rainwater begins to increase. The acidic components in the rainwater have a strong corrosive effect on the paint surface of cars, which can cause damage over time. Therefore, it is best to give your car a paint beauty during summer maintenance. The simplest is waxing, and the longer and more effective is to perform glaze sealing beauty. Regardless of the method, put an invisible protective coat on your car to prevent paint fading and aging, and keep the beautiful appearance of the car always around.
Waxing is a cosmetic method that uses grinding to polish small scratches on the paint surface to achieve a shiny finish. At present, there are two main types of car wax on the market: solid wax and liquid wax. Generally, solid wax is grinding wax, while liquid wax, also known as brightener or glossy glaze, only needs to be evenly applied to the paint surface. The advantage of this type of beauty treatment is that it is easy to operate, and most car owners can do it themselves. But the durability of waxing is poor, and waxing is usually done every two to three months.
Glazing is achieved by covering the automotive paint surface with a polymer to improve its wear resistance and achieve a bright and long-lasting effect. The advantage is paint protection, which will not damage the car paint surface, but can achieve a bright and wear-resistant effect, and improve its acid and alkali resistance. But the durability is average, and after 4-6 months, the polymer layer begins to gradually disintegrate, which requires another test. Car owners cannot operate on their own and must have professional car beauty shops provide construction services.
Seat beauty care
As the most frequently used interior object, car seats are prone to getting dirty and worn out due to their leather and fabric covers. To keep the seats clean, there are two solutions: firstly, whether it is a leather seat or a fabric seat, it can be covered with fabric seat covers, which can be renovated at any time to adapt to the season and personal preferences, and can also be replaced and cleaned in a timely manner. Secondly, car owners do not need to wrap their leather seats in fabric seat covers, which requires regular cleaning with specialized leather cleaning agents. When cleaning each time, the most important thing to take care of is the seams of the leather. Then, polish and maintain the seat leather every six months to prevent the occurrence of leather stains, aging, cracking, and other phenomena.
Timely dust removal through two filters
After entering summer, it is important to clean and remove dust from important car parts. If car parts are too dirty, it will lead to poor filtration effect, and excessive impurities will enter the oil cylinder, exacerbating the wear of the parts and increasing the possibility of faults; If severely blocked, it can also cause the vehicle to not function properly. Therefore, during the season change, it is necessary to promptly clean and maintain such "dirty" accessories.
The most important ones are the air filter and air conditioning filter. When a car is in use and the ambient air quality is generally good, it is sufficient to regularly replace the air filter according to the maintenance cycle. But when the air quality in the surrounding environment is poor, attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the air filter. If the air filter is too dirty, it will reduce the amount of air entering the cylinder, causing a decrease in the power performance of the car and the inability to increase speed.
In addition, the quality of the air filter should be reliable. If the filter is not clear and fine dust enters the cylinder, it will exacerbate the wear between the piston and cylinder barrel, thereby reducing the overall service life of the engine. The air conditioning filter should be cleaned or replaced regularly during use, otherwise the clogged filter will prevent and reduce air from entering the evaporation box. Although the air conditioning is turned on very large, it still doesn't feel cool, and some vehicles may have a foul odor inside. Car owners can usually go to a 4S store or car beauty shop to remove dust from the air filter and air conditioning filter.
