How to prevent scratches on the surface of polycarbonate sunshades?

To prevent scratches on the surface of polycarbonate sunshades, correct measures need to be taken in multiple aspects such as use, cleaning, and maintenance. The following are specific methods:

During use

Avoid contact with sharp objects: When moving around the sunshade, be careful to avoid carrying sharp objects such as keys and tools that come into direct contact with the surface of the sunshade to prevent scratches. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent pets' paws or other sharp objects from scratching the sunshade.

Prevent foreign object impact: Pay attention to the surrounding environment and avoid the sunshade from being hit by foreign objects such as falling objects and balls from high altitude. Warning signs can be placed near the sunshade to remind people to pay attention to protecting the sunshade. If construction or other activities that may cause falling objects are carried out above the sunshade, protective measures should be taken in advance, such as building a protective net.

Correct installation: During installation, ensure that the frame of the sunshade is flat and smooth, without sharp corners or protrusions. When installing polycarbonate sheets onto the frame, appropriate installation tools should be used to avoid scratching the surface of the sheet due to excessive force or improper operation. At the same time, attention should be paid to the length and position of the installation screws or other fasteners to avoid protruding and scratching the surface of the sunshade.

During the cleaning process

Use soft cleaning tools: When cleaning the sunshade, use a soft sponge, towel, or specialized soft cleaning brush. Avoid using rough cleaning tools such as steel wire balls and hard brushes, as these tools can easily leave scratches on the surface of the sunshade.

Wipe in the correct direction: When wiping the sunshade, try to wipe in one direction as much as possible to avoid cross scratches caused by back and forth wiping. Generally speaking, wiping from top to bottom or left to right is more appropriate.

During daily maintenance

Regular inspection and repair: Regularly inspect the surface of the sunshade to promptly detect any minor scratches that may occur. For some minor scratches, specialized polycarbonate polishing or repair agents can be used to treat them. Follow the product instructions to repair the scratches flat.

Avoid contact with chemicals: Prevent the sunshade from coming into contact with strong acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and other chemicals that may corrode the surface of the sunshade, making it fragile and prone to scratches. If accidentally in contact with chemicals, rinse immediately with clean water.
