If you don’t know, do you know these 4 ways to maintain your car on rainy days?

Very important!

When encountering heavy rain, the car should be cleaned in time after returning, otherwise it may cause dirt to accumulate in the gaps under the vehicle. This is where moisture can hide, and it is also the place where rust is most likely to occur.

?Then let’s talk about the detailed car maintenance methods below.

Tips on car maintenance on rainy days: Protect the paint. The acidic components in rainwater have a strong corrosive effect on the car's paint. If things go on like this, it will cause damage to the car's paint. Therefore, in seasons with a lot of rain, it is best to

Give your car a paint touch-up.

?The simplest is polishing, and the longer and more effective one is to seal the glaze to prevent the paint surface from fading and aging.

Tips on car maintenance on rainy days 2: Chassis care The chassis is the closest part to the ground and is severely affected by road conditions. This part is usually the most susceptible to rust and stains, and the wheel shell may even become loose and perforated.

?In addition, we must pay attention to the cleaning of the car chassis to prevent rust. A car chassis anti-rust care can last for 3 months.

?After completing the anti-rust care, be careful not to use alkaline cleaning fluid to wash the body and subframe. To protect the chassis, first perform a comprehensive cleaning to remove accumulated sediment and oil on the chassis, and do not use alkaline cleaning fluid to wash the body.

and chassis, which will corrode the body and reduce rust prevention time.

Tips on car maintenance on rainy days: Replace the ignition. On rainy days, car owners often encounter the problem of difficulty starting the engine. Even if it starts, it is weak.

?The car may have leakage due to moisture in the ignition system, making it difficult for the engine to start.

?In addition, it may be that when it rains and the weather becomes cooler, the hot air sealed in the distribution board may condense into water droplets and cause small flooding inside the distribution board, so the normal ignition function is lost.

?If it is found that moisture in the ignition system causes poor ignition and engine performance decline, you can temporarily dry the inside and outside of the distribution board and wires with a dry paper towel or dry cloth.

Little knowledge on car maintenance on rainy days 4: Brake water removal: Most of the car's braking system is a dual-pipe vacuum-assisted hydraulic brake. The brake fluid that transmits the braking force has very strong water absorption.

?If water enters the brake fluid, the high temperature generated by friction will vaporize the water during the braking process.

?Driving through water on rainy days may cause brake failure or even failure.

When there is a lot of rain, the humidity of the air will become larger and larger. If the brake fluid has a small amount of moisture before the rainy season arrives, it will be very dangerous.

?Some cars with serious brake fluid absorption can see water droplets on the brake fluid cup cover, so the brake fluid must be checked during maintenance to ensure driving safety.

The above are the things you should pay attention to regarding car maintenance. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
