With the onset of winter, a large number of car owners are faced with the problem of cleaning the car from snow after snowfalls. It would seem that it is very easy to throw snow from the roof of a car with a brush, but it is useful to remember a few simple tips that will allow you to clear the car of snow and not damage the enamel on the body or other weak elements.
Instructions
Step 1
Start the car first. Let it warm up as you work to clean it. Be sure to turn on the stove and blowing the glass. If there is an electric glass heater, turn it on as well. Do not try to turn on the wipers or washer ahead of time. It can break mechanisms.
Step 2
Next, you need to throw off all the snow from the car, which can be easily swept away with a brush or broom. This is very easy to do. Sweep over the machine and do not use force. There must be an icy coating on the car. If it doesn't fall off by itself, then you don't need to scrape it with a scraper.
Step 3
If an ice deposit is found that cannot be simply removed with a brush, then you need to wait until the car warms up to such a temperature that the ice from the body begins to gradually fall off and flake off. Such pieces can already be brushed off with a brush. Do this in a timely manner, in accordance with the body freezing rate.
Step 4
Pay special attention to glasses and mirrors. You do not need to scrape them with a scraper. This can lead to scratches. Wait until it is completely defrost, and then brush away anything that interferes with the movement of the wiper. Do not forget to clean the washer drain channels as well.
Step 5
Turn on the headlights and let them run for a while. This will allow them to freeze completely and defrost the front of the bonnet and bumper. After that, also discard excess snow and ice.
Step 6
Don't forget about prevention. If it is snowing on the street, and frost is expected the next day, then it is very useful after the end of such a snowfall to throw off all the excess snow from the car. After all, the formation of ice on the body is stressful conditions for enamel and special coatings.
