How to maintain your car in the dry season?
Dry weather not only makes people uncomfortable but also affects many details on cars, so how to maintain cars in the dry season?
During the dry season, many parts of the car become dry and stiff, leading to poor performance. If not maintained promptly, it can cause cracks, damage and costly replacements.
Engine compartment
First of all, it is necessary to clean every corner of the engine compartment with hot water or chemicals. This should be done periodically because during use, the engine compartment gets dirty. In the dry season, vacuuming is easier, so it is necessary to clean this part.
Rubber gasket
Rubber gaskets around the door frames are also details that are affected a lot when the weather is dry. During the dry season, rubber gaskets often lose their elasticity, easily crack, reducing the soundproofing and water resistance of the car.
To maintain rubber gaskets, you can use a solution specifically for rubber gaskets to maintain their softness and elasticity. Spray the rubber gasket maintenance solution about once every 3 months.
To save costs, car owners can use available materials such as baking soda and vinegar to clean the rubber gasket surface.
Leather seats
Leather seats and leather upholstery in cars are also susceptible to dry weather. When humidity drops, leather loses its natural moisture, leading to dryness and cracking. Therefore, regular maintenance with specialized leather care solutions is needed. In addition, baking soda or diluted javen solution is also a suitable choice. After cleaning, use a soft cloth dipped in warm water to wipe clean to help the leather seats retain the necessary moisture.
Painted surfaces and chrome-plated details
Dry air causes the car's paint surface and chrome-plated parts to lose their shine and become more susceptible to scratches, so you should wash your car regularly. After washing, you should apply a protective layer to the paint and chrome surfaces to prevent the effects of harsh sunlight and dirt.
