Winter is the time when you need to take special care of your car. You definitely need to know how to remove snow and ice from it so as not to damage it.
First you need to start the car. You should not rush to warm up the windshield until the snow is removed from it, as it will simply melt. The air intakes should also be cleaned. Otherwise, the snow runs the risk of being in the air ducts and the heat will not enter the interior well.
Leaving the ice on the windshield to thaw, you should start cleaning the roof. Cleaning is carried out from front to back, that is, towards the trunk and to the sides. A brush with a long handle will help in this. At the same time, it is necessary to free the doorways from the snow cover so that the snow after thawing does not make it difficult to open the doors.
The next thing to clean is the boot lid and the bonnet. The side windows should also be clean so as not to interfere with one hundred percent view while driving.
If we talk about a station wagon or a jeep, then during the operation of turbulent flows, the rear trunk lid can be in the snow. Do not turn on the heated rear window, as the seals can be damaged due to melt water.
The choice of a brush also needs to be taken seriously. The usual one will not work, it will undoubtedly leave scratches on the surface of the car. You need a brush with split ends, it will most carefully clean the paintwork, but you should still press it with caution. The choice of brushes is large enough. The most popular brush equipped with a scraper. It has soft bristles. A telescopic brush with a floating head is also quite popular. It is equipped with an extended handle that will allow you to reach the most difficult to reach places.
Particular attention should be paid to vehicle headlights. They tend to heat up when turned on, and can burst due to a sharp change in temperature. Also, due to ice, the streams of light may be distorted, which will lead to a decrease in the visibility of the track. Today there is a huge selection of special products for cleaning the surface of the car - mittens, brushes and scrapers with electric heating, synthetic sponges and napkins, windscreen washers and other items and products that will not damage the varnish and paint of your car.
Winter is not as bad for the car as everyone claims. The main thing is to take proper care of your vehicle.
