There are many kinds of car paints, the common ones are ordinary paint, metallic paint and pearlescent paint. Among them, the production process of pearlescent paint is more complicated, so the price is relatively higher. However, pearlescent paint has good reflectivity, rich colors and good oxidation resistance, and is generally used in high-end vehicles. Automobile paint not only plays a decorative role in cars, but also plays a protective role in rust prevention and corrosion protection. It can be seen that automobile paint is very important, so what should we pay attention to when maintaining automobile paint?
First of all, you can't dry clean the car at ordinary times, because the sand on the towel may damage the car paint. If you are too lazy to wash the car, gently wipe the paint with a wet towel. Secondly, don't park your car in a place with good light when parking, which will lead to the aging of the car paint.
Also, wash the car in time after it rains, because the rain is acidic and corrosive to the car paint. The most important thing is not to wash the car too often. Some car owners are very clean and wash their cars every day. But doing so will accelerate the aging of automobile paint and even dry crack.
In order to better protect the car paint, we can wax it. Before waxing the car, we should clean up the dirt and gravel on the surface of the car body to avoid scratches. The frequency of car waxing should not be too frequent. Generally, waxing once every three or four months is enough. And it is not recommended to wax the new car you just bought, because there is protective wax on the paint surface of the new car itself. If you wax again, it will destroy the original wax. So you don't need to wax a new car for half a year.
Besides waxing, we can also seal the car paint. Polishing is the secondary maintenance of automobile paint surface. After glazing, the gloss of automobile paint will be much better, so the price is relatively more expensive than waxing. Paint is a little more expensive than sealing glaze, but it also has better protection effect on paint surface. The coating can effectively prevent the erosion of ultraviolet rays and rainwater, and the oxidation degree is relatively slow, and the validity period is about one year.
The most expensive maintenance of automobile paint is crystal plating, which not only does not fade, but also resists oxidation and can effectively protect scratches. It's valid for two or three years, but it costs thousands. Therefore, few people will coat the car paint with crystals, and generally do more sealing and coating.
So what should we do when there are scratches on the car paint? If it is a slight scratch, we can repair it with nail polish. If it is a serious scratch, it is difficult to repair it. So you need to go to a professional repair shop for repair.
