We are all aware of the importance of car maintenance, but we also need to have an understanding of some erroneous and widely circulated maintenance methods in cars. Let’s take a look at these incorrect maintenance methods in cars.
1. Imported tires
Some people particularly like to emphasize “import” when buying tires. The most fatal flaw for domestic users is that the new tires promoted abroad are not suitable. The flat road surface in Europe is significantly different from the road conditions of Beijing’s Second and Third Ring Road, and tires that are suitable for European road conditions are difficult to perform well in Beijing, especially in terms of tire side impact resistance, which is obviously a bit outdated.
2. The thicker the body steel plate, the safer it is
In the old concept, the safety of the car body is also related to the thickness of the steel plate used. Cars with thin steel plates are not safe, so people often see friends knocking on the steel plates at car shows. They are “judging” the safety of the car body, but in fact, this is a misconception.
3. Random addition of equipment in the vehicle
For car owners, loving a car is like a mobile home, pursuing comfort and luxury in the car is understandable. However, many car owners like to install various equipment in the car. If not handled properly, this modification can affect car performance, handling, and driving safety.
4. Waxing by rounding
The correct waxing method should be to alternate the horizontal and vertical lines in a straight line, and then apply the final layer in the direction of rainwater flow, in order to achieve the effect of reducing the formation of concentric circular halos on the surface of the car paint.
5. Reluctant to drive a beloved car
Some people, although they have become car owners, are unwilling to drive in their daily lives. In fact, this way of using the car can be very harmful to the car. The best way is to drive for 30 to 40 minutes every few days. In addition, always using short distance vehicles can also cause damage to the vehicle, as it is constantly moving but cannot be driven far.
