How to Maintain Your Car in Dusty Weather?

After dusty weather, car owners should wax their cars more frequently. For new cars, it is recommended to apply glaze sealing to the paint surface, which can enhance the paint's strength and prevent fine scratches caused by windblown sand on the car body. When cleaning the interior, car owners should use specialized soft cloths and cleaning agents. Avoid the convenience of using the same cloth that wiped the car body to clean the interior. Plastic and leather materials are more delicate than the car body. After windy days, special attention should be paid to potential abrasions caused by sand and dust during cleaning. Finally, a comprehensive cleaning of the entire air conditioning system is necessary to kill bacteria, thoroughly eliminate pollution sources, and inspect and adjust the air conditioning system.
After decades of driving in sandstorms, I've developed habits for cleaning and protecting the car's exterior. Excessive dust buildup can easily scratch the paint, so I opt for waxing or applying a protective coating to prevent abrasions. When parking, I try to find a garage or shaded area; if none is available, I cover the car with a thick cloth cover to avoid damage from sand and stones. Don't forget to check door gaps and window seals—dust getting inside can affect smooth operation, so I use a soft brush to clean them weekly. After a sandstorm, I immediately rinse the car body, especially the wheel arches, to prevent rust from sand accumulation, and clean the headlight glass to ensure good visibility for night driving. This way, the car remains durable and saves a lot on repair costs.
