【The owner's family car knowledge】Through the explanation of the last article, we know that the snow contains corrosive substances and needs to be cleaned up in time by the car owner. However, in the cleaning process, the car owner must pay special attention to it, otherwise it may become worse with the washing. Next, let's talk about some things to pay attention to when washing a car in snowy days.
Use warm or cold water?
When it comes to car washing in snowy weather, the first thing many people think of is what water to use; should you use hot water to melt the snow or just use cooling to wash it off?
In fact, my personal recommendation for the editor is to go directly to a professional computer car wash shop to wash the car, because the machine drying program there will blow the car body to 90% dry, and even the residual water droplets in the car body can be completely blown out, and then manually Replenish and wipe dry. In this way, the dried car body will not freeze again, and at the same time, a layer of protective wax can be immediately applied, so that the paint can be cured most quickly.
If you can only do it yourself, it is best to choose warm water for car washing in snowy days. Remember not to wash the car directly with cold water. Because after the engine heats up, the temperature of the front of the car is higher, and it will damage the paint if you wash it directly with cold water. Of course, hot water cannot be used, as the reason will be discussed later.

Why does the more washing get worse?
In real life, there should be many car owners who have encountered this problem, that is, they wash the car immediately after snow, but the result is that the more the washing, the worse. Why is this? In fact, this is because most car owners wash their cars. Carry a bucket of water and hold a rag. In the process of repeated scrubbing, the rag usually has mud and sand, which will scratch the paint of the car, which is why the worse it gets washed.
Why did the windshield blow up?
Seeing the ice and snow in the car, some car owners will choose to take a hot bath for their car, thinking that this is a quick and effective way to clean the ice and snow on the car. As everyone knows, this kind of behavior is devastating to the car, not only will damage the body paint, but also may cause the car's windshield to burst. This is why I mentioned above why you can't wash the car with hot water. The correct method is to slowly scrape off the frost layer with a special ice shovel.
Winter car wash preparations and tips:
1. Wait for the car to cool down
This was also mentioned before. Washing a car after snow must wait for the engine to cool down, because when the temperature is high, the water volatilizes quickly, and it is easy to leave marks on the engine compartment cover, and such marks are difficult to clean.
2. Before washing the car, use tape to put the keyhole on
The reason why the keyhole should be sealed before washing the car is because the temperature in snowy weather is very low, and moisture will drip into the keyhole during the car washing process, which can easily freeze the lock cylinder. After that, if the car owner turns the key hard regardless, the key will be broken. Therefore, before washing the car, it is best to stick the keyhole with tape to prevent water from entering. In the unlikely event that the keyhole is frozen, the owner can burn the key with a lighter, and then use it to easily unlock the frozen car lock.
3. After washing, dry the water on the windows, doors and windows in time
As with the above reasons, car washing in snow can easily cause the doors and windows to be frozen. Therefore, the car owner must wipe off the moisture on the windows, doors and windows in time after washing the car. If you encounter this situation, the car owner must not panic, let alone force the switch, must wait for it to melt naturally before using it.
