Harmful substances
Industrial emissions, road tar, bird droppings, tree resin, insect residue, sea water and other things can damage your car's polish and paint. Generally, the longer harmful substances or objects are left on your car's polish, the more damage they can cause. Wash your car as soon as possible if foreign objects stick to it or harmful substances come into contact with its surface. Frequently and thoroughly washing your car is very important to protect your car's polish. If desired, you can apply a protective wax layer to your car body immediately after washing the surface.
Car wash
Chemicals contained in dust and dirt that land on your car's body can damage your car's paint and cause metal corrosion if they remain in contact with the body surface for a long time.
The best protection for your car from this type of damage is frequent washing and application of protective substances to the surface of the body.
This will also protect your car from rain, snow, salt, etc.
Do not wash the car in direct sunlight. Park the car in the shade and pour water on it to remove dust. Then, using plenty of water and a sponge, wash the entire car.
Use a mild soap designed for washing cars if necessary. Rinse off all the detergent thoroughly and dry the car with a chamois or other soft cloth. After the car is washed, thoroughly clean all joints and edges of doors, thresholds, etc., as there may still be dirt left.
Precautionary measures
1. When washing the underside of your car, wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.
2. Try not to use automatic car washes with rotating brushes. In this type of wash, the surface of the body can be scratched. Scratches are especially noticeable on cars with dark paint.
3. In some automatic car washes, the car is washed with hot water under pressure
This can damage the rubber parts of the car due to exposure to too high a temperature, and water can also get inside the car. When using this type of car wash, make sure that there is at least 40 centimeters between the end of the hose and the car.
In the cold season
Salt and other chemicals that are scattered on the roads in winter can have a detrimental effect on the underbody. Therefore, it is recommended to wash the underbody of the car with water from a hose under pressure every time you wash the car. It is especially necessary to carefully remove dirt and other deposits that can retain salt and moisture.
