How to Maintain a Car in General?
1 Answers
General car maintenance includes the following: 1. Tire Maintenance: Tire care is crucial as the tires and rims are the most prone to dirt. Before cleaning the tires, prepare a long-handled brush. Avoid using the brush on chrome-plated mirror surfaces to prevent noticeable scratches. If the tires are not too dirty, general cleaning agents can be used. For heavily soiled tires, purchase professional cleaning agents. 2. Car Paint Maintenance: The effect of paint sealing typically lasts between 3 months to half a year, while coating lasts over half a year. It is recommended to reseal or recoat periodically to reduce the frequency of car washes. Avoid waxing and polishing the vehicle as much as possible. Promptly remove corrosive substances like bird droppings. Park the car in a shaded area to avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially for white cars. Avoid wiping the car surface directly with a duster or dry cloth. Instead, rinse off dust with water and then wipe dry with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not let the car air dry naturally after rinsing. 3. Interior Maintenance: Regularly visit a 4S shop for maintenance of carpets, shoe marks on the lower part of inner door panels, dashboard, and roof. Strictly follow the three-step process of dust removal, cleaning, and maintenance to thoroughly clean and maintain the dashboard, roof, seats, floor mats, and inner door panels. 4. Check Engine Oil Level: Use the dipstick to check the oil level. If the level is between the F and L marks, it is within the normal range. If it is below L, add the specified type of engine oil. After adding oil, the level should ideally not exceed the F mark.
