Sheet metal paint maintenance
Proper maintenance for the car can
prevent corrosion for a long time.
The common causes for car
corrosion:
Saline-alkali, dust, and moisture
concentrate at the inaccessible
parts of bottom of the car.
The paint film or bottom layer is
scratched by slight crash or
foreign bodies such as sand.
If you live in a special area or
operate the car in special
circumstance, please be careful:
The dust on the road with
saline-alkali or chemical
substances will speed up
corrosion. The air along the
seacoast or in contaminated
industrial park is also saline.
High moisture will speed up
corrosion, especially in the area
with a temperature just over 0°C.
Certain parts of the car are
always under moisture or
humidity. Even if the rest parts
are kept dry, corrosion will occur.
The above items show the importance
of keeping the car, especially the
bottom part clean, and repairing the
damaged paint film and protection film
ASAP.
To avoid corrosion for BYD F0,
please follow the instructions
below:
Wash the car regularly.
Washing
your car regularly can keep it clean.
But for anti-corrosion, please abide by
the following points:
In winter if you drive the car on
the road with saline-alkali or live
by the sea, please wash the
running part of the car at least
once per month to reduce
corrosion.
High pressure or steam is
effective for cleaning chassis
and wheel cover. Slurry and dirt
in these positions are difficult to
remove, so that you need to pay
extra attention as getting the
slurry and crumbs wet without
removing them may cause
severer damage. Please avoid
the dust jamming the drain hole
on the lower edge of the door, sill
plate, and frame, or water
accumulated will lead to
corrosion.
Arrange a thorough cleaning for
the chassis when winter is over.
Check the car's paint and
decorative pieces.
When there is
any fragment or crack on the paint film,
please repair it at once to avoid the
access to corrosion. If the fragments
or cracks peel off the metal surface,
please contact the service store
authorized by BYD for repair.
Check inside of carriage.
