How to Protect the Paint of a New Car?
1 Answers
Giving your beloved car a "bath" should not be done carelessly. Improper washing can easily damage the outer clear coat, leading to a loss of shine. It's best to use a mild detergent and gently remove sand particles and dirt from the paint surface. Some contaminants are invisible to the naked eye, such as paint, tree sap, and other chemical residues, which require specialized cleaners to be wiped off bit by bit. Finally, apply appropriate protective agents to areas like the tires, bumpers, and wheel arches to prevent aging. The first wash for a new car is best done in a professional car wash facility with a relatively clean environment. Some contaminants are not visible to the naked eye, and simple detergents won't remove them. Specialized cleaning clay must be used to wipe them off gradually. Additionally, avoid waxing a new car indiscriminately. New cars already come with a layer of protective wax on the paint layer. Waxing too soon can remove this original wax, leading to unnecessary waste. Generally, there's no need to rush into waxing within the first three months of purchasing a new car. The best way to protect a car's engine is to avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration during the break-in period, thereby reducing the load on the engine and transmission system. Some meticulous and cautious new car owners proactively send their cars for maintenance after driving 1,000 kilometers. This initial maintenance is usually free and can help prevent many potential issues, making it a win-win situation that should not be missed.
