When it rains, some car owners light up their eyes, thinking that this is the "natural car wash season" given by God. In fact, after a rainy day, it is more necessary to wash the car. The reason why we want to do this is because of these reasons! Wake up to the car and don't make mistakes again and again!
1. Rainwater is not "clean"
In the perception of some car owners, the rain is very clean, but this is not the case. Rainwater is weakly acidic and has a certain corrosiveness. Acid rain can occur in some areas, which is more corrosive. If the owner parks his car in the open air, it means that on a rainy day, the rainwater will come into direct contact with the car and it will always adhere to the surface of the vehicle. If the car is not washed, then these acids will corrode the paint and other accessories, which will not only affect the appearance of the vehicle, but also affect the performance of the car.
2. Prevent the growth of bacteria
When it rains, in order to prevent raindrops from entering the car, the owner will choose to close the windows tightly. The result of long-term lack of ventilation is not only to make the interior environment stuffy, but also to produce musty smells. And this means that bacteria are slowly growing. If the elderly or children are frail and ride in this vehicle, then they are prone to health problems.
3. Protect the vehicle circuit system and engine
Rain fluctuates, sometimes drizzle, sometimes torrentially. On rainy days with high precipitation, if the city's plumbing system is not strong, then low-lying roads will form waterlogged. When driving on waterlogged roads, the vehicle may stall. If a friend who doesn't know how to use the car re-ignites it after turning off the engine, then it is possible to destroy the circuit and engine. Even if you are not wading in the water, washing your car after rain can also have the effect of checking the vehicle's electrical system and engine again, effectively ensuring the safety of the car.
4. Avoid moisture and mildew in the car
After the rain, there will always be a "hazy" feeling of dampness in the interior environment, which greatly affects the driving experience. Washing the car after the rain is equivalent to a "big cleaning" of the car, which not only effectively removes the raindrops attached to the surface of the vehicle, but also simplifies the cleaning of the car, so that the interior environment of the car can be restored to its previous cleanliness and brightness.
After talking about the reasons why you have to wash your car after the rain, let's talk about the key points of washing your car after the rain. Of course, this is for car owners who want to wash their own cars. If the car owner chooses to drive the car to a professional car wash and leave it to a special person to take care of it, then there is no need to worry too much.
First of all, car owners must avoid the moment of sun exposure when washing their cars. If the sunlight is too strong, the water droplets attached to the surface of the vehicle during car washing will collect sunlight, causing obvious marks or black spots to form on the surface of the vehicle, affecting the aesthetics of the vehicle. Second, use a professional car wash, don't think about using soapy water or laundry detergent instead. Third, prepare a gentle towel to avoid scratches when wiping your car. Of course, the owner's wiping action should also be gentle, not too hard.
I hope that all car owners can develop a good habit of "washing the car after the rain", only in this way can the car accompany you for a longer time. Finally, thank you for reading.
