Here is the installation method for car wheel arch clips: 1. First, use a small clip strip to hook onto the inner small flange. 2. Then, insert it into the installation hole of the wheel arch. 3. Finally, fasten it and give it a pull to check. Below is a brief introduction to car wheel arches: Wheel arch, short for car wheel arch, refers to the chrome-plated bright strip along the upper edge of the tire, which is a semi-circular component protruding from the fender above the car tire. It is composed of half steel plate and half plastic, and is the same for both front and rear wheels. The main function of the wheel arch is for decoration and to meet the driver's personalized needs. Additionally, from an aerodynamic perspective, the wheel arch also conforms to fluid mechanics, helping to reduce the drag coefficient.

I replaced the fender clips myself before. First, align the fender with the body installation position, and make sure the clips align with the holes. Press the small round button in the middle of the clip with your hand until you hear a click, indicating it's securely fastened. Note that the clips have a front and back side, so don't install them upside down. If there's dust in the original car holes, wipe it clean with a towel first, otherwise, it won't fit tightly. Before installation, also wipe the inner side of the fender to avoid leaving gaps. In winter, plastic clips become brittle, so it's best to do it on a warmer day. Summer installation is the easiest. After installation, remember to press and check each one. If the clip's elasticity is poor, replace it with a new one. Off-brand clips are prone to breaking.

Does it matter if it rains half an hour after waxing?

If it rains half an hour after waxing, it will not affect the wax. Here is some extended information about waxing: 1. No impact after waxing: Rain after waxing will not have a significant effect on the car's paint. In fact, the wax on the car's surface makes it less likely for dirt to stick during rainy weather. Simply wipe the car clean after the rain, and it will look shiny and new. 2. Benefits of waxing: Car wax provides waterproofing and protection against acid rain. The wax reduces the amount of water droplets adhering to the car's surface, protecting the paint with an effectiveness of 50% to 90%. Additionally, wax prevents static electricity and dust by creating a barrier between the car's surface and airborne particles, reducing friction and static buildup. It also protects against high temperatures and UV rays. As the weather gets hotter, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause the paint to fade and age. The thin film formed by the wax reflects some of the light, effectively preventing paint aging. Moreover, wax enhances the car's shine, making it look newer and brighter. If it rains after waxing, the wax will continue to protect the paint, so there’s no need to worry. A single wax application typically lasts about a month or through four car washes.
