【Car owner’s home car knowledge】Although there is no aging problem on the paint surface of a new car, it should be thoroughly protected before use. From the time it leaves the factory to being transported to the parking lot, the car's surface paint has been exposed to air, acid gas, and wind and sand.

When removing wax, do not use gasoline or kerosene to wipe it. Instead, use professional waxing liquid, or go to a professional beauty care shop and ask a technician for help. As for domestically produced cars, most of the car bodies are electrostatically sprayed, and the paint surface has a mirror gloss, so there is no need for waxing.

◆When possible, increase the weight of the car as much as possible to reduce the buoyancy effect of water on the car and increase the adhesion of the wheels.
