Car wash
In order to maintain a longer presentation of the car, regularly monitor the condition of the paintwork of the body. The body is painted with synthetic enamel baking. Repair coatings must only be carried out by qualified masters, but the service of the forces of each. At the heart of service - regular washing and treatment of special protective structures. Wash the body can be at a specialized cleaning (only by hand, without the use of mechanical brushes) or independently in specially designated for this purpose. For self-cleaning need: a bucket and two brushes - big long soft bristles (preferably with a long handle) for washing the body and a little stiff bristles for cleaning the front and rear body panels and wheel rims, a few rags. It is not necessary to wash the car in the sun and in dusty conditions the air in a strong wind.
WARNINGS Do not wipe away any dust and dirt with a dry cloth body - so you can scratch the paintwork. Never use cleaning petrol, kerosene, baking soda and salt water. Do not wash the body in very cold weather or leave the frost on the car with wet body: when water freezes on the paintwork of the body can develop hairline cracks. To clean the plastic parts can not use gasoline or solvents. |
Rinse the body of the car two or three buckets of water to loosen dust and dirt. Then dissolve in a bucket of special car shampoo in accordance with the instructions for use (for the body, colored metallic, purchase special, with a drying effect). Shampoo, apply with a brush; cloth or sponge can not be used: they keep sand and dust particles that leave the micro-scratches on the paintwork of the body, making it tarnish. When applying shampoo, lightly rub the surface of the body. One or two buckets of water washed over the body to remove excess shampoo. Then use a brush washed finally wash the body with clean water. Allow the body to dry for 3-5 minutes and wipe dry, removing stains and traces of water drips. Glass and instrument panel can be further cleaned with special detergents and polishes. You can do with fabric upholstery, which it is useful from time to time to vacuum.
HELPFUL HINTS For cleaning upholstery and seat we recommend using a vacuum cleaner. Oily stains from upholstery remove soap solution or special means for cleaning the interior. Glass is best cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in water with washer fluid. Wheel arches wash or high-pressure jet or a hair brush. The bottom is convenient to wash hair brush. We recommend to wash the bottom at least once a year, preferably before the start of winter operation, before restoring the corrosion-resistant coating. Periodically wash the bottom and wheel arches in the winter to clear them from the salt. |
After washing useful handle special body polishes according to the instructions on their use (tab. 12.1).
