Although the beginning of autumn has arrived, the rolling heat wave outside still declares that the hot summer has not ended. A few high-temperature driving tips to make your car fearless of high temperature tests!
1. Timely maintain the paint surface to prevent sunburn
The ultraviolet rays in sunlight can accelerate the aging of car paint, causing it to crack or even peel off. Regularly returning to the store for crystal plating on the paint surface or installing Paint Protection Film (PPF) on the vehicle can effectively resist UV radiation and keep the paint surface shiny as new.
In addition, when washing a car under the scorching sun, residual water droplets can focus on the sunlight and burn the car paint. It is recommended to wash the car in the morning or evening or in cooler weather, and dry the water stains in a timely manner.
Tips:Motec Paint Protection Film (PPF) not only effectively resists UV rays and delays paint aging; It can also prevent scratches and repair small scratches; Brighten the car paint to make it shine like new; It can better prevent bird droppings, gum, acid rain and other corrosion of car paint, keeping the paint surface in perfect condition!
2. The interior needs to be cleaned to delay aging
High temperature will accelerate the aging of automotive interior materials.
For example, some older car models have their seats, dashboard, and other components that have been exposed to long-term ultraviolet radiation, resulting in decreased toughness and ductility, and are prone to cracking, softening, and sticking, which increases maintenance costs. It is recommended to open windows frequently for ventilation in summer and regularly clean and maintain the interior leather to slow down the aging process.
3. Check the rubber parts for aging and replace them as soon as possible
High temperature weather is a significant challenge for automotive rubber parts.
In addition to the exposed wiper rubber strips, body seals, etc., there are also many rubber hoses in many difficult to observe locations, such as glass spray hoses, sunroof drain hoses, brake hoses, etc., which cannot be ignored. When the hose ages, hardens, or cracks, it should be replaced at the store as soon as possible to avoid affecting the normal use of the vehicle.
4. Monitor tire pressure to reduce the risk of tire blowouts
Due to changes in environmental temperature and natural wear and tear, tire pressure is constantly fluctuating.
High temperature weather can increase tire pressure, causing internal gas to expand and potentially leading to tire blowouts. It is recommended that car owners regularly monitor tire pressure, remove surface foreign objects, drive smoothly, and adjust and replace tires in a timely manner if necessary.
