Chapter 187: Car Cleaning

The second advantage of the imported JEEP compass is that the body is very stable when galloping at high speed, and it gives people a sense of security. After talking about the advantages, Fang Yuan began to talk about the disadvantages.

The workmanship of the interior of American cars has always been rough, and imported JEEP guides are no exception.

The plastic parts crunch when pressed, and the seams of the decorative strips are relatively wide, giving people the feeling that the assembly is not distracted.

The texture of the buttons and buttons is relatively hard, and the resonance noise caused by the entire interior is very annoying, especially after the car is aged, the problem of resonance and abnormal noise is more serious, and it is more troublesome to solve.

The imported 2010 JEEP Compass recommended by Fang Yuan to Luo Lizhi has only three models in Huaxia, all of which are 2.4-liter naturally aspirated GEMA engines, and the gearbox uses Jetco's CVT gearbox, with a maximum horsepower of 170 and a maximum torque of 220, with average power and 000 acceleration in about 11 seconds.

This power system is durable, reliable and stable, except for the gearbox setback, there is no major problem, and there is no problem of domestic JEEP compass burning engine oil.

However, the fuel consumption of the JEEP guide is relatively high, and the official fuel consumption is 8.7, but the actual comprehensive fuel consumption is about thirteen, compared with the fuel consumption of competing products such as X-Trail, Prado, and Honda CRV.

In addition, there will be a lack of power, which is a design defect, and the ordinary cleaning ternary cannot be completely solved, and the three-way catalytic converter can only be replaced.

Another disadvantage of the 2010 JEEP Compass is that its sunroof is easy to seep water, and if the original owner is more concerned and does not solve it in time, the car will be damp and smell of mold.

"Water seepage?" Luo Lizhi asked with some curiosity how to solve it.

"The 2010 JEEP Compass Skylight is a design flaw that cannot be fundamentally solved and can only be dredged regularly. Fang Yuan may not be able to answer blindly if he doesn't have second-hand car maintenance skills at this time, now, tell Luo Lizhi what to do immediately.

Because it is necessary to dredge frequently, there is no need to go to the auto repair shop to spend money on repairs, let alone replace the drain pipes, and repair them yourself to save money and time and exercise hands-on ability.

The specific method is actually very simple, first clean up the dirt in the sunroof drain, as for how to clean it up.

After cleaning the sink, then find an infusion set hose for infusion in the hospital or clinic, insert it into the drainage line of the skylight, and poke it repeatedly.

Fang Yuan told Luo Lizhi to be careful when he stabbed it, and he couldn't insert something hard into it, in case he broke the pipeline, it would be expensive to go to the auto repair shop for maintenance.

If your hands-on ability is really not good, then find a professional auto repair master and spend a little money to save yourself and cause trouble.

......

Luo Lizhi listened to Fang Yuan's introduction to the situation of the imported JEEP guide, and knew its general disadvantages and advantages, and felt that it was okay, and the problem was quite acceptable.

After all, Luo Lizhi bought it to practice his hands, and left it to his father after he didn't open it, and he only opened it when he wanted to go out to play, so it didn't matter if the fuel consumption was high.

As for the seepage of water from the car windows, there was already less rain in the northwest, and he was even less afraid.

The imported JEEP guide that Fang Yuan is going to introduce to Luo Lizhi is the 2010 2.4L four-wheel drive limited edition, which belongs to the highest configuration of the year.

This car was licensed in January 2010, the current mileage is 100,000 kilometers, 293,000 that year, and now Zhenghong Automobile is listed 58,800.

Ten years old and 100,000 miles are considered relatively old cars.

In fact, Fang Yuan is reluctant to introduce this kind of model to customers that is too old and has too many mileage.

Because such a car often has aging rubber, pipes, engines, gearboxes, suspensions, etc. must be maintained, not to mention, its exterior and interior also need to be carefully cleaned up.

It takes too much time and money to look new and pleasing to the eye.

But now that Luo Lizhi said that it was acceptable, Fang Yuan would not say anything more, and directly led the customer to the right side of the road.

In the innermost position, Fang Yuan and the two came to a black SUV.

The 2010 JEEP Compass is positioned as a compact 5-door 5-seater SUV, and its size is not large, with a length, width and height of 4405 mm, 1810 mm, 1641 mm, and a wheelbase of 2635 mm, which is similar to the domestic 2019 JEEP Compass, but it is a little smaller than the current mainstream SUVs, such as the Honda CRV.

It is said that Volkswagen is a nesting doll face, JEEP is also very family-oriented in this regard, the front 7-hole grille inherits the family bloodline, and the front face design of JEEP's flagship model Grand Cherokee is very similar, as long as you see these seven squares, you can recognize this as JEEP from afar.

The overall lines of the JEEP guide are rounded, without that sharp edges and corners, and at the same time, it seems to be a little sporty, and the overall feeling to Fang Yuan is that it tends to be more mature style, after all, the spokesperson it is looking for is Wang Shi, Liu Qiangdong, Nicholas Tse, etc., there will be no stupid and cute route at all.

Luo Lizhi circled around the JEEP Compass, not admiring or commenting on its appearance, just frowning from time to time as he looked at the paint on the tires and hood.

Fang Yuan leaned over, only to find that there were four conspicuous traces of tape on the hood, which had been stained with a lot of dirty things for a long time, and one by one it looked very disgusting.

The problem with the tires is not big, there are no cracks or anything like that, but they appear dull and dull, and there is a lot of asphalt on them, which affects the appearance of one lump after another.

Luo Lizhi didn't say anything, then turned around and opened the co-pilot door, his eyes swept over the entire interior space, the mechanical instrument panel, the air conditioning is manual, there is no multi-function steering wheel, there is no central control screen, there are no leather seats, these are not to say, what makes him speechless is that the center console and other places covered with plastic are very old, the steering wheel is covered with a layer of pulp, and there are stains on the seats, which seem to be the original owner's food dripping on it.

"Brother, is this car so dirty?" Luo Lizhi couldn't help it anymore and began to complain to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan has been in Zhenghong Auto Dealership for three months, and he is now the deputy manager of the store, knowing that the car bank controls costs, and those models that are not profitable will not be cleaned up at all, let alone find a car beauty shop to do a fine wash.

Fang Yuan was a little embarrassed, but he still told the truth about the reason, admitting that it was the car that saved money and didn't clean it up.

Of course, if the car dealership does a fine wash, in fact, these expenses will also be added to the cost, and the customer who comes to buy the car will pay.

"Actually, you can do it yourself. Fang Yuan gave Luo Lizhi an idea and suggested that the customer buy some cleaning supplies and clean them up by himself.

"Come and see. Fang Yuan pointed to the glue marks left on the hood and the asphalt on the tires, "These things can't be removed at all just by cleaning them with water, and if they are scraped with a knife, they will cause damage to the paint and tires." ”

Fang Yuan told Luo Lizhi that he could buy 'asphalt cleaner' and spray it on it, and after a few minutes it would dissolve on its own and could be easily disposed of.

"Asphalt cleaner?is that simple?" Luo Lizhi looked at Fang Yuan in surprise and asked, "Is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive, there are more than ten yuan a bottle, there are dozens of dollars a bottle, and towels are also given. Fang Yuan pointed to the tires that Luo Lizhi had paid attention to and said, "The tires will be dull after a long time, so buy the 'tire foam brightener', first flush the tires simply, and then spray the tire foam brightener on it, and after spraying, wait a while to wipe the cloth, and the tires will definitely become bright as new." ”

As for the seats that Luo Lizhi said, the seats are a little dirty, the center console and other places covered with plastic are very old, and the steering wheel is covered with a layer of pulp, which is also very easy to solve.

First clean it with a car vacuum cleaner, and then buy a 'high-foam cleaner' to spray it on the stained places on the seats, the steering wheel, and the handbrake, and then gently wipe it, the effect is clean and thorough, and then rinse without water.

Buy something called 'watch wax' and spray it on the center console, and then wipe it clean with a cloth, and the effect is also very good.

......

"With these professional cleaning products, the effect of self-cleaning is the same as that of a car beauty shop, or even better. It can also be used repeatedly, and it can be washed several times, which is simply too cost-effective. ”
