■ Check the paints and decorative parts on the body
● If some fragments or crack are found on the paint layer, they should be repaired
immediately to prevent corrosion. If the debris or cracks are peeled off the metal
surface, it is recommended to repair it at BYD Auto Authorized Service Station.
■ Check the inside of the car
● The long-time accumulation of moisture and dusts beneath the carpet will cause
corrosion. Frequently check the areas beneath carpet and ensure the dryness of
such areas.
● When transporting chemicals, detergents, fertilizers, salt, and etc., some special
cares should be taken and they should be stored in appropriate containers for
transportation. If there is any spilling or leakage, must clean them immediately
and keep dry.
■ Use the fenders.
● The fenders are used to protect the car when driving in salt-alkali areas or gravel
roads. The larger and the closer to the ground the fender size is, the effect is
better.
■ Park the car in a well-ventilated and dry place.
Painted surface maintenance tips
■ Clean the car in time.
■ If there is no obvious scratch on the painted surface, do not carry out secondary
painting to prevent the paint from being mismatched or not well bonded.
■ If the car is parked for a long period of time, it should be parked in a garage or a
well-ventilated place, and covered with a special body cover in winter. When the car is
parked temporarily, it should be parked in a cool place.
■ Avoid strong impacts, bumps or scratches on the paint layer of the body. If there is any
scratch, dent or peeling off on the painted surface, it should be repaired in a
professional service station in time.
■ Notice not to touch any body paint surface by oil contaminated hands or wipe any paint
surface randomly by oil contaminated rag or place any oil contaminated tool or organic
solvent contaminated rag onto the vehicle body, in order to prevent chemical reaction.
■ Once a month or when the body surface is not very resistant to water, the painted
surface must be waxed and maintained regularly (once every 3 months) in the
professional service station, to restore the bright luster on the body painted surface in
time.
■ Use the high quality polishing agent and wax. If the polished body is severely
weathered, must apply the cleaning polishing agent on it separated from the wax.
Carefully follow the manufacturer instructions and precautions, and the chromed and
painted surfaces should be polished and waxed.
