As everyone knows, because of the high strength lightweight glass steel corrosion resistance, low energy consumption, earthquake, sound insulation, high strength, good manufacturability, easy integration and other components, in the automotive industry attention and has been widely used, car is no exception. However, the advanced material also needs to be repaired by the RV users.
Here are a few suggestions for the maintenance of FRP car users:
1. avoid contact with sharp, hard objects. In the process of stopping or reversing the car if the friction collision and other objects will have scratches damage, should take protective measures.
2. found damage and repaired in time. Check the car body regularly. If it is found that the resin is peeled off, the scratches are deep and the fibers are exposed, it must be repaired in time. Otherwise, the infiltration of water will accelerate the damage.
3. glass reinforced plastic shell surface should always be kept clean. The surface to be cleaned by an ordinary household cleaners, dirt and other matter contamination, no solvent may be corrosive, nor decontamination powder, wire scrubbing, lest leave scratches, affect the appearance. If the stain is difficult to remove, you can use gasoline, kerosene, diesel oil and toluene, xylene, styrene, acetone and other cleaning, but after washing must be immediately washed with water, to prevent invasion of the structure inside. Cleaning can also be assisted with tool scraping shovel, but to use hardness less than glass fiber reinforced plastic wood or plastic film, so as not to scratch the surface. Soft material available fabric, gauze, soft towel and soft foam like scrub.
4. avoid long exposure in the hot sun. In the car parking area should be set against the arbor, long-term exposure of glass steel, rubber coat color will also be affected.
5. regular waxing and polishing. In order to make the car shell looks bright and protect the gel coat should be regularly waxing and polishing appearance of the car. Materials used car wax or polish glass reinforced plastics can be two to three times, 2 hours each time interval, the formation of a layer of wax in tough glass steel surface. It is best to use a hand polishing machine to make the surface bright and new.
6. apply paint to keep it beautiful and durable. The new car with gel coat looks beautiful, but in the use of three, five years later, the color gradually pale and dull, dark even more than the light. In order to keep the car looks beautiful, when the surface layer of gel coat color is old, more scratches, paint can be applied to the method. In all kinds of paint, polyurethane and epoxy resin paint is better. In the painting before the car surface should be cleaned first, with clean water mold etc. in addition to wax wax, and water sanding paper mill, deep scratches should be embedded in epoxy putty, the preparatory work required by the paint and then applied paint (paint, paint the best) after the car and new car as beautiful.
FRP car shell should be regularly maintained, it is best to learn simple repair technology, which is to prolong the life of FRP car, and improve operational efficiency is very beneficial.
