Do you know how to use glass water in winter?

Teach you how to use glass water in winter.

Hot spot discovery. Having a driver's license and being able to drive a car has now become a basic skill in people's lives, and the car is not just a simple way to travel, but also an indispensable partner in our lives. But do you really know or pay attention to this partner who is "hard-working" on weekdays?

Today, Niu Ka is here to tell you how to "care" for this close partner. At present, the vast majority of car owners only know the regular maintenance of the vehicle, and the engine, chassis, tires, brake system and other key inspection items are checked on time, but adding "glass water" is the most easily ignored detail in the daily maintenance of 80% of car owners.

Some car owners think that cleaning the front windshield is actually very simple and there is no need to make a fuss. Some car owners will choose "home remedies" homemade glass water, they will mix alcohol, dish soap, detergent or laundry detergent with a little water to replace the special glass water. There are also car owners who directly replace glass water with clean water.

However, I would like to tell you here that there are certain hidden dangers in these practices. Water mixed with laundry detergent is generally alkaline, which will have a certain corrosiveness to rubber, and at the same time will accelerate the hardening of catalytic wiper strips, causing the surface of the windshield to be scratched. If you replace the wipers, the cost will be dozens of times that of glass water**.

Replacing glass water with water for a long time may increase friction between the glass surface and the wiper blades, resulting in irreparable scratches on the glass, and it is easy to freeze in winter with clean water. Some good glass water has the properties of fast snow and ice melting, anti-glare, anti-fog, and anti-static, which is very important for the normal use and driving safety of the vehicle. <>

How to use glass water correctly in winter, don't underestimate it, if you don't use it well, you are "hurting the car".

The temperature is cold in winter, the glass water should be replaced according to the temperature, the ordinary glass water used in summer is 0 degrees Celsius, if the temperature is below zero in winter, it is not suitable to use, otherwise it will cause freezing, resulting in the freezing of car facilities, if in a warmer area, you can still use ordinary glass water.

Can general glass water be used in winter?

Glass water is a concentrated car glass cleaner, also known as wiper water, which can clean the dust and dirt of the windshield, and can also form a protective film on the surface of the glass to maintain it. There are generally three types of glass water, ordinary glass water at 0 degrees Celsius, antifreeze glass water at minus 20 degrees Celsius and special antifreeze glass water at minus 35 degrees Celsius.

The temperature is low in winter, especially in the northern region, you should choose anti-freezing glass water according to the temperature to ensure that it will not freeze, otherwise the car parts will be frozen, and ordinary glass water will produce freezing and unusable conditions. If it's winter in the south, just choose the corresponding freezing point of glass water according to the temperature of your city.

It is best not to mix the glass water that has not been used up in summer, because if it is not mixed evenly, the sprayed glass water will still freeze, causing the infusion tube to clog. If the glass water is frozen and can't be sprayed, start it and drive it normally, and it can slowly melt when the engine temperature rises.

There are two kinds of glass water, one is used in the summer of zero degrees (it starts to freeze below zero), and the other is used in the winter of -35 °C (it starts to freeze below -35 °C), the freezing point is different, you can't use the glass water in the summer in the summer, you can use the glass water in the winter with the glass water of the winter, that is, you can use the glass water at zero degree and -35 °C in the summer, and you can only use the glass water at -35 °C in the winter.

First of all, we can judge the quality by observing the viscosity of the glass water. Because the glass water will be in direct contact with the rubber wiper after spraying, and in order to avoid corroding the rubber of the wiper and prevent its premature aging and cracking, the high-quality glass water contains a formula for the lubrication and corrosion inhibition of the rubber wiper, so the liquid is more viscous, so when you turn the bottle upside down, you will find that the bubbles in the bottle rise very slowly, and if you pour a drop of glass water on your hand, it will also feel very smooth. In order to save costs, the liquid of inferior glass water may contain little or no formula for lubricating and inhibiting the corrosion of rubber wipers, so it looks very thin and does not feel smooth.

Observe the number of bubbles in the glass water liquid can also distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, after using this test method to detect the two bottles of glass water of different quality bought, the result is the same as the result of the freezing point tester, the number of bubbles in the glass water on the left side is very large, and it is very dense, after the bottle body is inverted, the bubble rise speed is also relatively slow, which shows that the viscosity of the glass water on the left side is significantly better than the glass water on the right side, which means that the product has a corrosion inhibition formula.
