Studying the statistics, you can see that the number of drivers who prefer to give up personal transport for the winter period is significantly reduced from year to year. Such dynamics arouses interest in the issues of proper preparation of the vehicle for winter operation. Useful tips and information about this will be outlined below.
Paintwork
In order to keep the paintwork of the car in its original state until spring, it is necessary to apply special automotive cosmetics. As a rule, the considered products are made on the basis of silicone and are quite cheap, while their effectiveness cannot be overestimated.
Replacing All Consumables
The specificity of car operation in the cold season presupposes the presence of increased loads on all components and assemblies of the car. To make the vehicle more reliable and stable, all consumables should be replaced before winter. First of all, this concerns the battery, engine oil, brake fluid.
Replacing tires
This advice may seem too obvious, but with all the obviousness of the need to change tires in parallel with the change of seasons, drivers and pedestrians do not stop meeting unscrupulous drivers on the roads of the country who simply cannot overcome the rise, since their cars are equipped with sometimes unsuitable winter tires, and sometimes all summer tires. In the format of this situation, it should be understood that a driver who allows himself the considered liberty risks not only his own time and comfort, but also his own life and the lives of those people who may not come across an unlucky but economical driver at the wrong time, therefore, save on timely tire replacement absolutely not.
One of the characteristic features of winter is the large amount of precipitation. In this regard, I would like to recommend:
- Check the condition of the wiper blades and, if necessary, replace them, which will effectively remove deposits from the glass surface.
- Make sure that the optics are working properly. If the headlights are not effective enough, then you need to replace the bulbs or polish the lenses. Each of these operations can be performed not only in a car service, but also at home.
