How good your new car is! The paint shines, the chrome body parts shine in the sun, the glass is perfectly transparent, the wheels have not had time to get dusty. One word is delight. What should be done to keep all this beauty longer?
Instructions
Step 1
In the beginning, before you get your new "horse" to work seriously, you need to lay a margin of durability in the body parts. It is known that any factory coating of the body does not give a 100% guarantee that rust stains will not appear over time. It `s naturally. After all, the operating conditions of the car can not be called greenhouse - heat in summer, frost in winter. They correspond to precipitation - rain, snow, etc. That is why it is necessary to protect the most vulnerable parts of the car from the effects of the environment - the underbody, sills, fenders, rubber, chrome trim parts. The oxidation processes of the metal are the faster, the less closed and protected it is. It is important, to prevent aging of the factory coating of the bottom and fenders, to make additional protection. To do this, cover the body parts with another protective layer.
Step 2
In Russia, the Movil coating has been used for a long time and deserves all respect. To enhance its protective properties in places that are especially exposed to mechanical stress (blows from stones from under the wheels, sand, dirt), install protective shields made of plastic. They will save the fenders and bottom from mechanical damage.
Step 3
Besides Movil, there are many protective coatings and imported mastics. When choosing them, consider the possibility of working in our climatic conditions. Pay particular attention to the following properties:
• the ability not to lose protective properties in hot summer conditions (not to soften from the heat);
• the ability not to crack or break at low temperatures in winter;
• possessing high wear resistance under mechanical stress (gravel, stones, sand, etc.).
Step 4
Seasonal driving conditions affect the preservation of the vehicle's appearance. During the transitional season (autumn - winter, winter - spring), it is advisable to limit the operating time of the vehicle if possible. Moisture, getting into the microcracks of the coating of the body and the bottom of the car during the day, freezes overnight and thereby causes their increase.
Step 5
Take into account the peculiarities of using the car in summer and winter.
In summer, if possible, protect the car body from direct sunlight. For long-term parking, it is advisable to use a platform covered with an awning, or put on a cover made of thick fabric on the car. If this is not possible, place it in the shade of trees or houses.
Step 6
Winter is the most difficult period of car operation and therefore the attitude towards its use during this period should be sparing. It is advisable to put the car in the garage at night. Even if it is not heated (cold), the air temperature inside is 5-7 degrees higher than outside. If the garage floor is made of concrete, it is advisable to lay wooden flooring under the wheels for the winter. Rinse the undercarriage and wheels more often from reagents for cleaning the road surface from ice with obligatory drying.
