Such a procedure as washing a car awaits every car owner, especially if after the trip the vehicle is covered with dust or dirt. The best way to wash your car is to use a rubber hose (without a metal tip) and a soft brush (or a foam sponge).
It is best to wash the car immediately after driving, when the dirt is still fresh.
If the car is washed with a hose, do not use a strong pressure of water, otherwise the paintwork may be damaged. Strong pressure can be used only if the car bottom is being washed.
When it is necessary to wash a car with dried mud, it is important not to damage the coating. It is best to first soften the dried dirt with water. Under no circumstances should you use scraping with hard objects. Most often, the washing process is as follows: the car is doused with water and left for a few minutes to soften all the dirt. You can wash the car with a special shampoo and a sponge that treats all parts of the car. If the car is very dirty, then it is optimal to drive it onto the overpass and wash out from below. Then you can wash from the roof to the bottom. Wheels are washed last. When the body is shampooed, it must be thoroughly rinsed with water from a hose.
There is a very important procedure in the process of washing, which car owners do not always pay attention to. Water droplets almost always remain on a clean surface. They work like a magnifying glass. They concentrate the sun's rays, resulting in whitish spots on the body. To avoid this, wash the car with a suede cloth prepared in advance. She is soaked in clean water and squeezed thoroughly. When all drops have been removed, the body can be wiped with a dry cloth.
Car wash procedure should be carried out with warm or cool water. You cannot wash your car with hot water. The difference between the temperature of the water and the car body should not exceed 15-20 degrees. But washing with hot water will lead to the formation of microcracks in the coating. As a result, the paint on the car will deteriorate very quickly. Therefore, if the car is washed during the cold season, then it should be placed in a warm place before washing. After washing, the surface of the car should be thoroughly wiped off.
In the process of washing glasses, special attention must be paid. Experts do not recommend wiping them with dry wipes. After all, dry dust and dirt, falling on a napkin, work like sandpaper. As a result, the glass is scratched and fades over time. It is best to use a glass cleaner and a 10-15% soda solution to remove the film. Residual water must be removed without fail, as they lead to destruction of the coating, corrosion. Drying and wiping can be used for this purpose.
