Attention! Motorcycles can't be washed like this

It is said that the simplest car wash, most of the riders must think: this is to wash it with water, just fine! In fact, is this a car wash? Is there any damage to the car? With everyone's doubts, today I will tell you a few points to pay attention to when washing a car. I hope to be useful to everyone.

1. Avoid car wash when the car is hot

Cleaning a motorcycle can't use much water, and many owners wash it with water.

However, when the engine and the exhaust pipe are in a high temperature state, they are immediately washed with water. Because of the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the engine suddenly cools, the parts are deformed, and the damage to the engine is large. Thermal expansion and contraction can also damage the oil seals in various parts of the engine, causing the engine to leak oil. It also causes the chrome layer at the junction of the exhaust pipe and the engine to fall off, causing rust.

2. Minimize cleaning with detergent

Many car owners think that the detergent is convenient and clean. In fact, in order to achieve the decontamination effect, many cleaning agents contain a large amount of harmful substances. It takes a long time to damage the paint. Although it looks very clean, it reduces the service life of the paint and is prone to cracking. ,Ageing.

3. Some parts should not be washed with water

Headlights, handlebars, switches, exhaust pipes, horns, spark plugs, air filters, batteries, etc. are best not to be rinsed with water. These parts have many circuit connections and are prone to short circuits or leakage. It may cause: the light is not bright, the horn is not ringing, the fire is not caught, the power is faulty, etc. It is best to use a cleaning cloth to clean these parts.

4. Do not use tire wax

The structure of cars and motorcycles is very different, cars are always in balance, and motorcycles are just the opposite. This will leave a big security risk.

5. What should you pay attention to after cleaning the vehicle?

Take the spark plug cap down a few times and pour out the water inside, otherwise it will affect the ignition. Then start the vehicle, idling for 5-10 minutes, drain the water in the exhaust pipe, then drive on the road for a few minutes or dry in the shade, not in the sun. Finally, the shell can be waxed and the chain relubricated.
