It's best to choose a sunny afternoon for washing and promptly remove any water from the car's surface afterward to prevent freezing.

Wait for the engine to cool: In winter, the engine temperature is relatively high, and washing the car abruptly can lead to thermal expansion and contraction, which can significantly affect the engine and other components. 2. Pre-wash: Before the formal wash, a pre-wash is necessary. Professional tools are available at 4S shops for this process. 3. During the formal wash, different cleaning methods should be chosen for different parts of the car, following a top-down approach.
