Entering early winter, as the weather gets colder, people know how to wear extra clothes. So, how should one maintain their beloved car?

1. Interior maintenance

As the temperature decreases, the number of times the car windows are opened gradually decreases. The relatively enclosed cabin space deteriorates the air quality inside the car. Suitable cleaning and care agents can be selected to thoroughly disinfect and clean the interior of the car. At the same time, attention should be paid to preventing water from entering electronic components and equipment to avoid equipment damage.

2. Maintenance of air conditioning system

After prolonged use in summer, a lot of impurities have accumulated on the air conditioning condenser and water tank condenser network. If not cleaned in time, it will shorten the service life of the air conditioning and easily breed bacteria. When carrying out winter car maintenance, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the hygiene blind spots in the car and carry out ozone sterilization treatment. The cleaning and disassembly of air conditioning require high technical and tool requirements. It is recommended to go to a car maintenance and repair shop and have professional personnel clean it.

3. Tire maintenance

In winter, tires need to be pressurized to maintain the specified pressure range. At the same time, tires should be checked for obvious external injuries or scratches, and impurities in the tread should be regularly cleaned. The inner and outer walls of the tire should be observed for bulges. In autumn and winter, rubber becomes harder and more brittle, which not only reduces the friction coefficient but also makes it more prone to air leaks and tire punctures.

4. Battery cleaning

The electrode connection of a car battery in winter is the most prone to problems. If green oxide is found at the electrode connection, it should be dealt with as soon as possible. If not removed in time, it will cause insufficient power generation of the generator, resulting in the battery being in a depleted state. In severe cases, it may cause the battery to be scrapped early and unable to start the car. You can rinse off the oxide with boiling water, dry it with compressed air, and then spray it with a special protective agent to prevent the oxide layer from appearing again.

5. Maintenance of brake system

In winter, it is necessary to check the brake oil level in a timely manner to ensure that it is within the normal range. If the level is too low, it may be a leak in the brake system and should be repaired in a timely manner. At the same time, check whether the brake oil has deteriorated. If the brake oil color becomes darker, cloudy, or has an odor, it should be replaced in a timely manner. In addition, it is necessary to carefully check whether the brake pipeline is damaged, aged or leaking. If any problems are found, the brake pipeline should be replaced in a timely manner to ensure that the brake pipeline connection is firm and there are no signs of looseness or detachment.

6. Replace the antifreeze glass water

After late autumn, most regions in China will experience rainy, snowy, and cooling weather. Cars need to prepare in advance for cold weather, such as replacing glass cleaning agents, which is an important issue. At this time, it is necessary to replace antifreeze glass cleaning agents as soon as possible to prevent freezing of glass cleaning agents due to cold weather.

7. Car paint maintenance

There are many fallen leaves in autumn and winter, and the air is dry. Impurities such as dust can easily stick to the car body with rainwater, which can corrode the car paint. It is important to avoid parking the vehicle under trees as much as possible and regularly wash the car to remove dust, dirt, and fallen leaves from the surface of the car. Regularly check the condition of the car paint. If there are bubbles, fading, cracks, etc., they should be dealt with in a timely manner. It is best to apply Motec Paint Protection Film(PPF) to the car to make paint maintenance more convenient and easy.

Motec Paint Protection Film(PPF) not only helps your car resist external scratches and other injuries, but also blocks the invasion of corrosive components. With this protective film, dust and other impurities are difficult to adhere to the car paint surface, making car washing much easier~
