As an experienced driver who has been driving for 12 years, I have witnessed many car destruction behaviors.
We all know that cars are money burning goods. Buying a car is easy, but maintaining it is difficult. One mistake can cause trouble for your beloved car.
Among them, the most easily overlooked behavior is the seemingly normal one of washing cars.
The other day I chatted with some old irons, and they laughed at me and said, “Your car is too dirty, isn’t it? It’s like a mud monkey, and you don’t know how to wash it?” That’s just a way of discouraging, almost making me unable to resist saying, “It’s none of your business.”.
But when I thought about it, they were also good for me and patiently explained it, which surprised them all.
This has to start with washing the car.
As ordinary people, there are only a few ways to wash cars: either go to a car wash shop, go to a gas station, or wash them at your doorstep.
If you go to a car wash shop, it’s the most worry free. For one or two hundred yuan, the car can be washed just like new, and the engine compartment can be cleaned for you.
However, for us ordinary people, washing it once a month is considered a luxury.
Going to the gas station to wash the car may be convenient, but the car washing machine is called a damaged car.
Some gas station car washing equipment has several rolling wheels jumping up and down, and over time, the car paint is brushed off.
Not to mention those car window seals and wipers, they need to be replaced with new ones after a few uses. This car washing method, breaking the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, is not cost-effective at all.

So many Laotie choose to wash their cars at home.
Not only does it save money, but it’s also convenient. You can handle it with just a bucket of water and a towel, and it can also show off and enjoy car washing.
Washing the car at this doorstep is mainly time-consuming and laborious, but most people think that washing it at home is better than washing it outside, at least not damaging the car paint.
But the fact is, washing a car at home is the easiest way to ruin it!
Let’s think about it. The car runs outside every day, covered in dust and mud. If you use a dirty towel to wipe it off, isn’t that sandpaper to polish the car paint?
Even if you clean the towel and rub against the car in an unclean area, it will still damage the car paint.
Over time, the car paint has been washed to a dull and dull finish, and to restore its shine, one has to spend money waxing it.
There is also the windshield, which is covered with a layer of expensive insulation film. If you accidentally rub a dirty towel and leave a few scratches, you will be at a great loss. Fix it, ranging from a few hundred to thousands. Think about it, is this washing the car or the money?
We wash the car at home, and the conditions are not professional either.
Without a suitable water gun and insufficient water pressure, the stains on the car paint cannot be cleaned; Without a professional car wash solution, the residual soap and water may corrode the car paint; Even after washing, it cannot be completely dried. As soon as the water droplets evaporate, the stains settle back onto the car.
It’s like renovating a used car, it’s strange if you don’t damage the car after washing it.
In contrast, professional car wash shops are different. The equipment is professional, the personnel are well-trained, and the car wash solution is carefully selected.
Before washing the car, first flush it with a high-pressure water gun, and the sediment will almost fall off. Then apply foam and towel, which is called a safety.
Car wash towels are also specially air dried and disinfected, so they won’t harm your car again.
So old Ties, if you have the habit of washing your car at home, I would advise you to change it as soon as possible. It’s better to keep dust and dust on than to waste it on your own. If you want to wash the car, it’s better to go to a professional store to do it. Don’t think it’s too expensive. Spending that little money would still allow your car to serve for a few more years, what a good deal.
However, on the other hand, even if we don’t wash the car, there are actually many behaviors of damaging it when we use it on a regular basis. For example, driving a car in place for half an hour or driving at low speeds for a long time without being willing to step on the accelerator are all misconceptions about loving a car, and over time, they can also cause harm to the car.
Like the hot car in situ, many old irons think that this is to protect the engine, but in fact, it is totally in practice. Now that it’s not an old-fashioned car, why should it be so hot for so long? Half a minute is enough. The hotter your car is, the more carbon accumulates, and the more fuel is wasted, which is harmful but not beneficial.
When driving at low speeds, I dare not give fuel, thinking that I am taking care of the engine, but little do I know that the gearbox is crying and fainting in the toilet. Long periods of high and low gears not only consume fuel, but also the gearbox cannot afford it. It has learned your driving habits, and with a sudden step, you can activate its “diabetes insipidus mode”.
So there is a way to love a car and a skill to use it. When it’s time to wash, find a professional to do it. When it’s time to heat up the car and speed up, don’t hesitate. This way, your car can live a long and healthy life, and spend more years with you.
