Sudden temperature changes are expected to affect the paintwork of the bodywork, and very negatively. Freezing moisture after water treatments harms the car more than you thought. So
The car body panels traditionally suffer from sandblasting and the accumulated dirt and along with moisture and reagents destroy the “paint” at space speed. After all, it’s in the spring that yellow bugs pop up and hit the nerves and pockets of car owners. To wash the car or not to wash it in the cold – that is the question! Do not remove the above cocktail from the body – it is fraught with the appearance of rust. Rinsing, “irritating” the body, is no less dangerous. So what to do?
Of course you should wash a dirty car. The important thing is how. First, at a certain temperature. The optimum range is from 0 degrees and above. In other words, not on the street. So, self-service car wash-by. The fact is that moisture in the cold forms an ice layer on the bodywork, exposing the paint, seals and plastic elements as standard to the risk of damage.
In addition, a frosty body is more difficult to wash, and even in the warm season it is not recommended to hit it with a high-pressure jet at close range. As you might guess, any mechanical impact is similar to sandblasting.
You cannot use a sponge fanatically, especially if the coating is not sufficiently moist. And be sure to remove water from hidden cavities, cracks, ditches and joints. Otherwise, the moisture that remains there will expand due to the cold. We don’t think it’s necessary to explain how this can end.
Blow out doorways, wipers, hinges and mirror housings. That is, save the car from the risk of “freezing”, which can come back to haunt a loose fit, creak or a complete refusal to work. Check that there are no smudges in the fuel filler flap, as well as at the tailgate joints. Otherwise there is a chance not to open. In general, after washing, it is necessary to dry the car well.
In addition: after driving off after a wash, do not open the windows for ventilation – it is better to turn on the air recirculation in the cabin. And perhaps most importantly, if you don’t want to be left with frozen brake pads in the morning, dehumidify the brake mechanisms by pressing the pedal a few times.
