What are the hazards of long-term outdoor parking for cars?
1 Answers
Hazards of long-term outdoor parking for cars are as follows: 1. Damage to the car's paint: If the car is parked in an open parking lot or a residential parking space, prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause slight fading, oxidation, or even cracking of the paint surface. The paint contains a large amount of resin, metal, and other materials, which make it prone to oxidation. Especially under harsh environmental conditions such as ultraviolet rays, acid rain, bird droppings, and dust, the paint is more likely to oxidize and age. 2. Wind-blown sand and stones can damage the car's glass: If a car is parked outdoors for a long time and encounters windy and sandy weather, the dust and sand particles in the wind can cover the vehicle, causing scratches to the paint and glass. These fine scratches can cause diffuse reflection of external light sources on the glass during nighttime driving, severely affecting driving safety. Sand and dust entering the vehicle's interior can increase the failure rate of machinery, leading to higher maintenance costs. 3. Increased risk of malicious scratches: While parking outdoors is convenient, it also exposes the car to risks such as vandalism by drunk individuals or mischievous children who may kick or scratch the car body, making the owner an unwitting victim. Therefore, parking on the roadside can be somewhat dangerous.
