Does seawater damage leather seats?

Seawater does not cause significant damage to genuine leather seats, but prolonged soaking should be avoided. It is not advisable to clean car leather seats with water, as water is the most harmful substance for leather seats. If absolutely necessary, you can use a wrung-out cloth to gently wipe the surface. Methods for maintaining leather car seats: 1. Avoid using laundry detergent or dish soap for car washing: These contain alkaline components that can cause the car paint to lose its gloss, become dull, crack, or rust over time. Special crystal cleaning solutions or car wash liquids should be used instead. 2. Promptly remove dirt from the car: Over time, exposure to sunlight, acid rain, and various corrosive substances such as cement, grease, mucus, asphalt, tree sap, and insects can form stubborn stains. These can dull the paint surface, oxidize the paint quality, and shorten the lifespan of the car's paint.

What Are the Benefits of Waxing in Winter?

Waxing in winter offers the following benefits: 1. Sun protection, guarding against UV rays. 2. Resisting corrosion and protecting against damage from acid rain and acid snow. 3. Preventing static friction. 4. Waterproofing and anti-icing, protecting the car paint. More information about car waxing in winter is as follows: 1. In northern regions, winter is cold and dry, and cars are inevitably exposed to snow, ice, and sandstorms, which can cause the car paint to lose its gloss prematurely. Regular washing and timely waxing can effectively prevent damage from acid snow and resist corrosion. 2. The intensity of UV rays in winter is 20% weaker than in summer. Winter air is dry and thin, allowing light to penetrate more easily, making UV damage to the car body more threatening than in midsummer. Regular polishing and waxing of the car body can effectively resist UV rays, providing good sun protection during winter.

Is it okay to unplug the charging cable before the new energy vehicle is fully charged?

Occasionally doing this a few times will not have much impact on the vehicle, it just means the battery misses a few balancing cycles. However, doing this frequently over time may damage the car battery. Charging methods for new energy vehicles: To date, there are only two charging methods for new energy vehicles: fast charging and slow charging. Fast charging and slow charging are relative concepts. Generally, fast charging refers to high-power DC charging, and most new energy vehicles that support fast charging can reach 80% capacity in about half an hour. Slow charging is simply AC charging, and the charging process usually takes 6 to 8 hours.

When using an electric vehicle, it is best to practice shallow charging and discharging, and to charge frequently.
