Here are the methods to handle frost on cars in winter: 1. Turn on the car's air conditioning and set it to external circulation or direct the vents toward the windows. 2. Use a specialized plastic scraper for removing frost and snow from vehicles, gently scraping the frost off the glass in one direction. A bank card can also serve as a substitute, but be careful to avoid scratching the glass. 3. Apply a specialized vehicle defroster spray onto the frosted windows. Vehicle defroster sprays are high-speed anti-ice concentrated solutions designed to thaw frozen windows and wipers without damaging the car's surface, and they help prevent re-freezing. 4. Use a dedicated frost cover to shield the car. 5. Open the car doors to ventilate and equalize the temperature inside and outside the vehicle.

I've been driving for many years, and when the car gets frosted in winter, it's best to first gently scrape off the surface frost with an ice scraper, being careful not to scratch the glass. If the ice layer is thin, you can start the engine to warm it up for a few minutes and let the warm air from the air conditioner blow toward the windshield to melt it naturally. Keeping a bottle of de-icing spray handy is very convenient—just spray it in emergencies and wait a few minutes before cleaning. Remember to park in a sheltered spot or use a frost cover to avoid frost formation. Frost forms from moisture condensing in the cold, so don't pour boiling water on the glass—it can easily crack! In winter, regularly wash and dry the car windows to reduce residual moisture. Also, check the air conditioning system regularly to ensure the heat flows smoothly, which can help prevent such issues.

What Does a Car Detailing Service Include?

Car detailing includes organizing items inside the vehicle; washing and wiping the exterior; cleaning the engine compartment; cleaning tires and rims; interior cleaning; interior care and cabin disinfection; waxing and polishing the body; and returning items to their original positions before handover. The following precautions should be noted when washing a car: Avoid washing a sun-exposed car with cold water: After high-speed driving or prolonged exposure to sunlight, the surface temperature of the car paint becomes very high. Using cold water at this time can damage the paint surface and, in severe cases, cause cracking. Washing once a week is optimal: Frequent washing is unnecessary—washing every 7–10 days is generally sufficient, as excessive washing accelerates paint oxidation. However, this is not absolute. If the car body is contaminated with mud, rainwater, bird droppings, etc., the owner should clean the vehicle as soon as possible to prevent paint corrosion.

Does the Car Depreciate After Transmission Repair?

Transmission repair will cause the car to depreciate. Transmission maintenance methods: When shifting gears in a manual transmission, be sure to fully depress the clutch to completely cut off power, preventing gear collisions and grinding during shifting, thereby reducing gear damage through buffering. Transmission temperature maintenance: During vehicle operation, pay attention to the transmission's temperature and any abnormal noises. If the housing temperature exceeds 70°C to 80°C, it indicates that some components inside the transmission are not functioning properly. You should stop the vehicle immediately for inspection and promptly identify and resolve the issue. Car owners who are not familiar with vehicles can visit the nearest repair shop for professional inspection by a mechanic.
