Not washing a new car has no immediate impact, but regular washing is necessary later on. Damages of Not Washing After Rain: Urban rainwater is acidic. If not cleaned promptly, it can harm the car's paint. Additionally, rainwater often contains other impurities. If not rinsed off in time, prolonged exposure to sunlight can leave water stains on the car's surface, which may affect the paint if not cleaned promptly. In the short term, there isn't much noticeable impact, and many car owners might skip washing. However, if possible, washing the car after the rain stops is beneficial. A simple rinse with a cleaning agent will suffice. Damages of Long-Term Neglect: Washing a car isn't just about removing dirt; it's also about protecting the paint. After rain, you might notice that some cars have water droplets forming on their surfaces. This happens because car owners who maintain their vehicles well frequently wash them, removing dust, tar, resin, and other particles that stick to the paint, keeping it smooth. As a result, rainwater forms into droplets.

Ceramic brake pads vs traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the main material that generates friction, providing strong braking force but with significant wear and prone to noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, abnormal screeching (i.e., scraping sounds) will not occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads do not contain metal components, they avoid the metal screeching sound caused by the friction between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and brake discs).
