Does Not Repairing Car Paint Affect the Vehicle?
1 Answers
If the car's paint damage does not reach the primer, not repairing the paint has little impact on the vehicle; however, if the primer or even the original rust-proof coating is damaged, not repairing the paint can cause certain harm to the vehicle. If the primer is damaged and not repaired promptly, the exposed steel panels of the vehicle are prone to rust. Over time, the rust can spread across the entire body, making repairs more troublesome later on. Precautions After Car Painting: Avoid using high-pressure water streams to wash the car body: If there is hard dirt on the car, soak it with water first and then rinse it off. Pay attention to the water flow method—use a dispersed water stream for cleaning. Excessive water pressure can also damage the car's paint surface. Be cautious when cleaning after painting: Try to avoid using anything other than soft water for cleaning, including hot water, alkaline water, or water with high hardness. These components can damage the paint. If hard water is used to clean the vehicle, it may leave marks on the paint surface after drying. Do not expose the car to direct sunlight or wash it immediately after the engine cools down: Both practices can affect the car's paint surface, accelerating the aging process of the paint.
