Last time we talked about the filtration core of the car's chassis, and many of the car owners looked at the message and said that they wanted to talk about the glass that was the least visible in the car and used it every day, and 90% of the car owners had stepped on the pit。
In the eyes of the vast majority of the car owners, glass water is the “most insignificant little thing” on the car: either running water is good enough to wash it, or buying 9. 9 dollars 10 barrels of bad quality at a cheap price, or forgetting to change the anti-frozen money in winter, freezing the water kettle directly, burning the electric power. But what you don't know is that glass water is the first line of protection for the security of the rain line, with the use of the wrong light to block the water vents, to scrape the rain, to pre-shaving the glass, and with the heavy of the rain, the oil membrane, the blurry of the sight, and a direct traffic accident。
I. Understand: what is glass water? Official definition + central role is completely dismantled
The official standard name for glass water is car windwindow cleaning fluid, which is a specialized waste for car windwindow cleaning systems, and is in no way a chemical product that can be replaced by “water with detergent”. The performance indicators are subject to mandatory national standards, and poor quality products and homemade alternatives do not fully meet national standards and directly damage vehicle components。
Many drivers think that glass water is a “glass wash”, but its five central functions are that each directly relates to the safety and life of the vehicle, and running water is simply irreplaceable:
Strong cleaning and de-fouling (core function) corresponds to the regular glass water of the national standard, with the addition of non-ion surfactants, detergents, de-film components, which can easily dissolve the intransigent stains on the glass, tree glue, bird dung, car tail gas film, mud sand, tar, etc., and clear mandatory national standards for cleaning power. And tap water + detergent not only does not dissolve the vermin, the oil membranes, but it also increases the amount of oil membrane, and the rain glass shavings and coverings the line of view. Lubrication and protection of rain scratches and glass water by adding a dedicated lubricant component, which can form a water membrane between rain scratching tape and glass, reduce friction resistance, avoid rain scratching and grinding, and significantly extend the useful life of rain scratching glue while preventing strangling before strangling glass. The absence of any lubricating element in the piped water will accelerate the ageing of the glue strips, break them or even scrape the glass directly, replacing a front block with thousands of dollars in front of the glass, with no loss at all. Frozen and fracking, and the addition of environmentally friendly anti-frozen glass water (ethanol/propiol) to eliminate damage to winter pipes, can significantly reduce the ice point of the water solution, ensure that ice is not frozen at low temperatures during winter, and avoid the freezing of glass canteens, water pipelines and jets. The piped water freezes at 0°c, expands by 9%, breaks the canteens, pipes and repairs in winter, costing hundreds of dollars, making it the easiest pit for the owner to step on in winter. Safety protection, with the explicit requirement of a non-corrosive and non-corrosive state marking, that qualified glass water must be non-corrosive to car paints, rubber, metal, plastics and not produce water. While tap water contains ion, its long-term use results in the formation of water glucose, the blocking of vents, damage to jets; detergent / laundries are mostly alkaline, corrosive of rain-scraping glue, bottle rubber seals, car paints, and acceleration of the ageing of components. The quality glass water, which supports the upgrading of vehicle safety, will add hydro-drilling agents, dizziness-proof components, can then form a water-drink layer on the surface of the glass, rain-fed rain will automatically condensate on the glass and will significantly increase the clarity of the rain-light line, while reducing the night-time dizziness of the light to the car light and the risk of accidents during the night。
Ii. Main glass water classification + selection guide, selected on a case-by-case basis money
The selection core of glass water looks at the ice point, and the second function is not the lower the ice point, the more expensive the price, but the most cost-effective and secure to match the local temperature, the car scene。
1. Classification by ice point (core selection criteria, decision to apply scenario)
Ice points, which refer to the critical temperature at which glass water freezes, the smaller the value, the greater the resistance to freezing. Selective core guidelines: select a model 5-10°c lower than the lowest temperature in the local history, leaving the freeze-proof amount to avoid cold surges leading to freezing。

2. Classification by function (additional selection as required)
On the basis of the suitability of the ice point, the matching function may be selected from the car scene, without the need for blind pursuit of the high end:
How often do you add glass water? When do you have to change
It's a 90% problem that the owner can't figure out, and many people think, "i can't blow it up, i can't use it anymore," but the wrong raise and change habits can burn the jets and block the pipes。
1. Raise the bet: look at the liquid position and don't wait until it's out
The glass kettle has a clear **max (ceiling) and min (floor)** scale line, which takes 10 seconds to look at the liquid position each time a refuelling or car wash takes place, and below min the scale line must be billed in time and must never wait for the water to come out. ️ critical reminder: the jet is completely cooled by glass, dryed in waterless condition, could burn a wire in 10 seconds, replace a jet, spare parts + hundreds of hours of work, completely man-made failure。
2. Replacement cycle: not to be renewed or replaced, with regular slots to replace
It's a classic mistake for the owner to drive for several years, never to change glass water completely, just to use it up:
3. Focus on core concerns
When the bet is raised, the liquid level is between the max and min scales and is never filled with spills. The glass water will swell and be overfilled. It will corrosive motor-class lines, car paints, which will be washed in time for spilling。
Four, 90 percent of the car's owner stepped on eight glass water pits, while the light damage hit the car
It's part of the factory that won't tell you what's inside, and every pit is about your wallet and the safety of the car。
The biggest mass error zone: the long-term use of running water + detergent/ laundry powder to replace glass water, which is the most important thing to do, is to feel that “saving money is good for use”, which is extremely damaging and completely inconsistent with national standards:
The deadliest pit: winter in the south is not frozen, and many southern drivers are lucky to think that “the coldest winter is around 0°c, not frozen money”, and then, as a result of the cold tide, the temperature drops to a few degrees below zero, glass water freezes directly, fracking canteens, freezing pipes and jets, and repairing hundreds of dollars。
Correct practice: prior to winter, even in the south, it is proposed to replace the four-season general provision - 15°c - with a provision of $10 to cover the remaining amount and avoid thousands of maintenance losses。
The most common iq tax: the cheap and cheap purchase of $9. 9 10 barrels of poor glass and glass utility platforms, 90 per cent of which are over and above the g/t 23436-2021 national standard, are pits:
The easiest to ignore pits: different brands, different ice-point glass water, with a large number of car owners with half a bottle - 15°c, plus 40°c, who feel that "frozen resistance will be stronger" is a big mistake. Different brands of glass water formulations vary, and random mixing can result in chemical reactions, resulting in sedimentation, obscurity, layering, jamming of vents and pipelines, and reducing anti-frozen capacity and loss of anti-frozen effect。
Correct approach: use as much glass water as possible under the same brand name and at the same ice point; if a model needs to be replaced, the old glass water will be completely drained and refilled。
The operation of the most damaged vehicles: the winter glass water freezes, the cold winter glass can't get out with water running, and many owners use open water to pump glass canteens and front vents, which is the fastest way to destroy a vehicle. The high temperature of open water can cause irreversible damage by blowing up the glass front, burning plastic canteens, burning pipes and circuits. Correct approach: start the vehicle, turn on the warm wind to the front mode, hot cars wait for the cabin temperature to rise, allowing the ice to melt naturally; immediately melt, completely empty and replace the lower ice-resistant glass water。
The most dangerous area of error: replacement of cooling fluids with glass water / very few anti-freezing fluids in case of emergency by the owner, adding glass water to the cooling liquid water kettle, which is absolutely forbidden. The boiling point of the glass water, its preservative properties and its anti-frozen properties do not meet the requirements of the national standard for the cooling fluid of the engine. The addition would result in high-temperature boilers, corrosive waterways and casks of the engine, directly causing the engine to be overhauled and the cost of maintenance would be tens of thousands of dollars。
Correct practice: the shortage of cooling fluids can only be combined with the same type of cooling fluid, or with an emergency of pure water, which must be replaced as soon as possible thereafter, in no case with glass water。
The most useless iq tax: the daily priced glass plating replaces the professional glass plating, which many merchants promote as “permanent water plating, with no need for glass plating,” but as a complete mirage. The plating glass layer, which is worn out every time it is scraped by rain, has effects varying from weeks to months and cannot replace professional glass plating, at a price of several times or more than a dozen times the normal glass water。
The right approach: ordinary domestic day-to-day transport, formal access to membrane glass is entirely adequate, and no price is required for daily membrane plating。
The most erroneous perception: winter anti-frozen summers can't be used by many car owners to feel that "the winter anti-frozen summers are wasted," but it's totally fine. Refrigerated glass water is only at lower ice points, cleanliness, lubrication and preservativeness are in full compliance with national standards and are not used in the summer with any negative impact, but at slightly higher prices. The owner who has to change in seasons, who spends the whole year using the four-quarter common money at 25°c, is completely fine, and it's less serious。
Five, glass water is a common problem. Five minutes will solve it
The most common problem with glass water can be solved at home without spending money on repair plants:
No vents coming out. / very small
First, check the glass fluid level and confirm that it is not exhausted
(b) whether there is a “mucking” electric sound when listening to water sprays, and the probability of no sound is that the fuse has been burned, so that the corresponding fuse can be replaced with a vehicle description
3 the sound of an electric machine, but it cannot be sprayed out, is a water vent blocked, with a thin needle, a roller needle, and a smooth roller of the water vent, so as to clean up the water and mud
In winter, if not, it is frozen, unfrozen in the correct manner above, and open water is strictly prohibited。
Sprays are not at the right angle, / too high / too low for thin needles, retrospect needles, softly plugged into roller bells at the vent, slowly adjusts the upper and lower angles to drop the spray at the upper middle end of the front glass, so do not overwhelm and avoid damage to the vent。
The more the glass is scratched, the more the oil is severe, the more the stripes are scratched
First, complete cleaning of the front glass with de-film cleaners, car wash mud, and removal of rigid oil sheeting
2. Replacement of regular decorum glass water and discontinuation of the use of running water for cleaning
3 checks whether the rain-shaving tape is ageing, worn and replaced with new / rain-shaving。
Vi. Day-to-day use of conservation care, with an absolute ban on scratching for longer parts! Before the rain starts, glass water must be sprayed to ensure water lubrication and to avoid the drying of the rain, shaving glass and damage to the glue; it should take 10 seconds to check the glass fluid level for each refuelling and car wash, which is below the lower limit and is not available for further injection; before winter, the glass ice point must be thoroughly checked and the corresponding anti-frozen model replaced in a timely manner to eliminate the risk of freezing; the impurities, water sluices at the vents must be regularly cleaned, congestion avoided and the water angles adjusted; the glass water must be muddy, silt, deodorand and immediately drained and replaced without continued use; the vehicle should be parked for a long period of more than one month, and it should be recommended that the glass water should be completely drained to avoid deterioration, bacteria and congestion。
The full core summary (simplified) of glass water is by no means “water-to-water-to-clean” and is subject to national mandatory standards, which affect the safety of vehicles when they are destroyed by the wrong light, or by heavy; the choice of a core that looks at ice points and selects a model that is 5-10°c lower than the lowest temperature in the local history; leaves enough ice-freezing residuals, not as low as possible; below the minimum liquid level is filled in a timely manner, so as to prevent the dry burning of hydropower machines; the four-quarters are replaced once every six months and must be frozen before winter; the permanent use of water for cleaning, mixing of different glass, unfreezing of ice glass, replacing cooling fluids with glass water; and the selection of regular brands that conform to the national standard, so as to avoid thousands of damage to maintenance, not to be too low-priced and expensive。
