Should snow on the car be cleared promptly?
1 Answers
After snowfall, it is essential to promptly clear the snow from your car, as accumulated snow can easily freeze and block windows, spray nozzles, and other areas. Below are specific details on the hazards of snow to vehicles: 1. Snow and ice contain large amounts of corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, or salts, especially in areas with poor air quality where snow contains even more harmful substances. If not removed promptly, these can erode the car's paint, causing the external clear coat to lose its shine. 2. It is best for car owners to wash their vehicles immediately after the snow stops. To minimize damage from corrosive substances to the car's paint, if there is no forecast of snow in the coming days, owners can apply wax or a sealant to protect the paint surface after washing the car.
