Beijing is the capital of the mainland and a place that everyone yearns for, and many tourists go to Beijing to play, nostalgic for going back and forth to Beijing's ancient hutongs and unique customs. I don't know if you have noticed, many cars in the old hutongs of Beijing are very particular when parked, and a wooden board will be placed next to the wheels of the car to block.
Tourists from outside the city do not understand after seeing it, the car is parked in the alley, why put a baffle next to the wheel? Is it to avoid the wheels from being damaged by the sun? The locals laughed awkwardly, and they didn't want to put the baffle, for reasons that were hard to tell.
In a hutong in Beijing, there is a Tesla ModelS of more than 800,000 people parked in the corner, and the front of all four wheels is blocked by a black wooden board. The owner, Mr. Liu, told the truth, he put the baffle neither to look good, nor to cover up the ugliness, but to avoid stray dogs peeing on the tires.
There are especially many stray dogs in Beijing's old hutongs, and many stray dogs will leave urine on erected objects in order to compete for territory. The owner of the car parked in the alley, and the stray dog used the wheel as an obstacle to mark the territory, and then peed on the wheel.
Don't underestimate the urine, there are many stray dogs in the alley, these stray dogs do not occasionally make marks on the wheels, but repeat the markings on the wheels every day, leaving a liquid with their own smell. Dog urine contains a large amount of acidic substances, and these liquids with corrosive elements have long-term contact with aluminum alloy wheels, which can cause the wheels to change color.
Ms. Wang, the owner of the car, said that his car had been parked in the alley for more than three years, and at first Ms. Wang did not pay attention to the urine on the wheels. After Ms. Wang stopped the car for a while, she found that the wheel hub was not bright, and he sent the car to the car wash several times to wash the wheel hub, which was still very dim, and later Ms. Wang learned that the wheel hub was not bright enough because the metal surface layer was corroded.
Since then, Ms. Wang, like other neighbors, has also prepared a few wooden planks, and after parking the car, he has blocked the tires facing the outside side with wooden planks, even if he encounters stray dogs marking the territory, urine will not directly drip on the wheel hub. Since then, Ms. Wang has no longer worried about the wheel hub being corroded by urine.
Some car owners find that the wooden boards they use to block tires are often taken away, and they can only write on the wooden boards to prevent dog urine, which is used to cover up, etc., to remind others not to take their own boards. These planks can be reused, and after a period of use, the owner only needs to rinse off the dried urine stains on the tires.
How to avoid discoloration of the hub?
If the owner does not have the habit of covering the hub, the hub has been corroded by the dog's urine, and must be cleaned as soon as possible. Occasionally the hub is stained with the dog's urine will not be too much of a problem, the owner only needs to rinse it off with water. If there are often stray dogs in the place where everyone parks, it is best to put a baffle on the wheel hub.
There are also some car owners who come up with a clever trick, the dog's sense of smell is very sharp, sensitive to smell, the owner specially sprayed on the tire with a mothball-scented liquid to expel stray dogs. This method is very easy to use, stray dogs smell the smell of mothballs do not dare to come close, will not leave urine.
