Should snow on the car be removed promptly?
1 Answers
It is essential to promptly remove snow from the car, as accumulated snow can easily freeze and block windows, spray nozzles, and other areas. The pristine white snow on the car may look beautiful, but in reality, it contains a large amount of corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, or salts, especially in areas with poor air quality where snow contains more harmful substances. If not removed in time, these substances can erode the car's paint, causing the external glaze to lose its luster. Therefore, it is best for car owners to wash their cars immediately after the snow stops, even if the weather forecast predicts more snow in the coming days. Additional tips: 1. Properly clear snow from the windshield and windows: Many car owners, upon seeing their vehicles covered in snow, resort to simple and rough methods for cleaning. For example, using the wipers to clear the glass or pouring hot water on the windows or door gaps, both of which are incorrect. After a car is covered in snow, a layer of frost forms on the glass surface. Using wipers or brute force to remove it can damage the glass. 2. Wash the car promptly after snow to prevent corrosion: If the car's paint is not properly maintained, it can also be easily damaged by snow. Snow contains many chemical particles from the air, which can corrode tires, paint, and other parts. Therefore, to protect the vehicle, it is crucial to wash it promptly after a snow day.
