Clean up gasoline, oils or brake fluid spilled on painted surfaces immediately, otherwise discoloration will result.
Preservation should be repeated when the water on the painted surface no longer collects in drops, but flows down over a large area. Regular maintenance helps to keep the original color and gloss of the paint longer.
Washing preservatives provide another possibility for paint preservation. However, detergent preservatives effectively protect the paint only if they are used at every car wash and if the car washes are carried out at least every 2-3 weeks. Only those preservatives containing synthetic waxes should be used.
Preservatives are especially recommended after washing with detergents (foam wash) (follow the instructions for use)
Preservation should not be carried out in the open sun.
Polishing: Polishing is carried out if the paint has faded due to insufficient care under the influence of dust, industrial gases, sun and rain and preservation cannot restore the previous gloss. Strongly abrasive and highly chemical polishing agents should be avoided, even if the first attempts seem to be effective.
Before each polishing, the car must be thoroughly washed and dried. In a short time they penetrate the paint and cannot be removed after this. Fresh tar stains can be removed with a soft cloth dampened with refined gasoline. In extreme cases, you can use regular gasoline, kerosene or turpentine. Very well, these stains are removed with preservatives. When using these products, refrain from rinsing.
Processing should not be carried out on large areas in order to avoid premature drying of the polishing agent. When using some polishing agents, additional preservation is required. Do not polish in the open sun! Matte painted surfaces must not be treated with preservatives and polishing agents.
Alloy body parts do not require special processing.
Tar stain removal: Resin stains penetrate the paint in a short time and cannot be removed afterwards. Fresh tar stains can be removed with a soft cloth dampened with refined gasoline. In extreme cases, you can use ordinary gasoline, kerosene or turpentine. Very well, these stains are removed with preservatives. When using these products, refrain from rinsing.
Removal of insects: If dead insects are not removed, the substances contained in them can damage the paint in a short time. Once stuck, they are difficult to remove with just water and a sponge, and have to be washed off with warm soapy water. There are also special means for removing insects.
Removing splashes from mortars: Wash off splashes from various mortars with a warm solution of detergent. Rub only lightly, otherwise scratches will remain on the coating. Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing. Care of plastic parts: Plastic parts, artificial leather seats, skylights, lamp shades, as well as parts painted with matt black paint can be washed with water with the addition of shampoo, water must not get through the skylight. Treat plastics with cleaning agents for plastics. Do not use nitro thinners or gasoline
Window cleaning: Wipe window glass with a soft, clean cloth. With severe pollution, alcohol or ammonia and warm water, as well as a special glass cleaner, help. When cleaning the windshield, tilt the wiper arms forward.
At the same time as washing the windshield, clean the wiper blades.
Attention: When using silicone-containing products, brushes, sponges, leather wipes and rags used for washing the car must not be used on windows. When treating painted surfaces with silicone-containing products, the glass should be covered with cardboard or other material. If a layer of silicone covers the glass for a while, it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.
Care of rubber seals: All rubber seals should be sprinkled with talcum powder from time to time to maintain their elasticity and tightness.
Squeaky and rustling noises when closing doors are also eliminated. You can also rub a lubricating soap into the appropriate surfaces.
Light alloy rims, especially in winter, should be treated with a rim cleaner, but do not use any aggressive acid-containing or alkaline and coarse detergents or steam treatment above +60°C.
Wash the seat belts without removing them with a mild soapy solution, do not dry clean to avoid damaging the fabric. Remove automatic belts only when dry and, if necessary, spray with lubricant spray to facilitate winding. Do not dry belts at temperatures above +80°C. or in the open sun.
