A car is a “consumable” product. The longer it uses, the greater the probability of failure. In order to prolong the service life of their car, many car owners will specifically learn some small knowledge of car maintenance, such as driving gently on the road and not parking the car on the side of the road. But many car owners neglect to wash the car, because the wrong way of washing the car hurts the car. Some people will choose to wash the car every day, while others will choose to wash it once a month. Which of the two will hurt the car more?
Wash the car every day
Some car owners love their cars very much. They can’t bear any dust on the car. As long as they find dust, they will wipe it off with a rag or drive to the car wash shop to wash the car. In the view of these car owners, as long as they wash the car every day, they can drive a new car every day. Driving a clean car will make you feel happier.
However, for some car owners, it is impossible to wash the car every day. Not to mention that the pace of life is getting faster and faster. Everyone is working to make money every day. There is no time to drive to the car wash. In other words, the cost of car washing is not low every day. It is estimated that not all local tyrants can’t stand it.
Moreover, washing the car every day will cause great damage to the car. We all know that the car is a kind of steel product. In order to prevent the car from rusting, the surface will be covered with sheet metal and car paint. It is also due to the existence of car paint that the steel is isolated from the air to prevent steel oxidation.
But you should know that some car wash shops now use some cleaning agents when washing the car. The cleaning agent is an acidic substance, which will also corrode the car paint to a certain extent. Washing the car every day means that the cleaning agent corrodes the car paint every day. Over time, the black car paint loses its luster, and the white car paint will slowly turn yellow, which is very unsightly.
Wash once a month
Some car owners do not cherish the car so much. In their eyes, the car is a means of transportation, as long as they can take themselves to their destination. As for the appearance of the car, as long as it is not “scary” and dirty, there is no need to care.
On the road, we often find some cars with dusty bodies, and the rear windshield is almost “stuck”. Especially in summer, there is a lot of dirt near the wings and wheels of many cars.
Even if most car owners find a lot of dirt outside the car, they won’t wash the car at all because they are busy all day. What they thought was that when the dust on the car became more and more, they couldn’t see it anymore, so they drove the car to the car wash. Or wait for it to rain and wash the car.
However, we need to remind you that we must pay attention to the rhythm of car washing. If we don’t wash the car for a long time, it will also cause harm to the car.
If you don’t wash the car for a long time, there will be a lot of dust on the car. In fact, the dust doesn’t matter. At best, it makes the car look dirty. However, some car owners not only don’t wash the car, but also often park the car under some trees. Some places on the car are rotten leaves and bird droppings. Some substances in these leaves and bird droppings will cause greater damage to the car paint, even more serious than the cleaning agent.
summary
Generally speaking, washing the car every day and once a month have their own disadvantages, which will more or less have a bad impact on the car. The owner of the car wash said that the most correct way is to wash the car once a half month.
Washing the car once a half month can not only keep the car clean and tidy, but also prevent rotting leaves, bird droppings and other substances from damaging the car paint. Washing the car once a half month will not let the acid in the cleaning agent corrode the car paint. After all, the cleaning agent can’t stay on the car paint for so long. Of course, washing the car once a half month is only suitable for ordinary private car owners. If you have a high frequency of car use, drive away every day or drive to the construction site every day, you need to increase the frequency of car washing.
