●
The underbody of the vehicle is
covered in salt, dust or moisture.
●
The vehicle or some of its parts are
exposed to high humidity and high
temperature for a long time.
●
The paint layer or underlayer is
scratched by minor collision or by
stones and gravel.
The following rules should be observed
to prevent vehicle corrosion:
●
Wash the vehicle frequently.
●
If you drive on a saline-alkali road
in winter or live in a coastal area,
clean the chassis and wheel guard
with a high-pressure water gun or
steam at least once a month to
reduce corrosion. After winter, wash
the chassis thoroughly
●
Check vehicle paint and trims.
●
Any chip or crack found on the
paint must be repaired immediately
to prevent corrosion. If fragments
or cracks peel o󽗈 from the metal
surface, it is recommended to go to
a BYD authorised dealer or service
provider for repair.
●
Check interior vehicle.
●
Moisture and dust accumulated
under the carpet cause corrosion, so
the underneath of the carpet should
be regularly checked and kept dry.
●
Special care should be taken when
the vehicle is transporting chemicals,
detergents, fertilisers, salt, and other
substances. Such substances should
be kept in appropriate containers for
transportation. If spillage or leakage
is found, clean immediately and keep
dry.
●
Use fender liners.
●
Fender liners protect vehicles in
saline areas or on gravel roads. The
bigger and closer to the ground the
fender liner, the better.
●
Park in a well-ventilated and dry area.
Paintwork Maintenance
●
Clean the vehicle in time.
●
Do not perform secondary painting if
there are no obvious scratches on the
󽗉nish, so as to prevent mismatch or
colour incompatibility.
●
When the vehicle is not used for a
long period, it should be parked in
a garage or a well-ventilated place,
and special body cover should be used
in winter. Choose a shady place for
parking temporarily.
●
Prevent strong impacts, knocks, or
scratches on the paint. If the paint
is scratched, dented or if it peels, it
should be repaired in time, preferably
by professional auto beauty provider.
●
Do not touch the paint with a greasy
hand or cloth. Do not place greasy
tools or rub with organic solvents
on the vehicle body so as to avoid
chemical reactions.
●
Wax the vehicle top coat for protection
once a month or when the body
surface cannot resist water well, and
go to a professional auto detailing
shop for maintenance regularly
(quarterly) to restore the brightness
and luster of the body top coat in time.
●
High quality polish and wax must be
used. If the body 󽗉nish is severely
weathered, use a car cleaning polish
in addition to the wax. Carefully follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
precautions. Chrome 󽗉nish should be
polished and waxed as well as painted
󽗉nish.
