Car wash

In most areas, for environmental reasons, outdoor car washing is prohibited. Meanwhile, at many gas stations it is possible to wash your car by hand. Since these filling stations ensure that contaminated water does not seep into the ground, the car wash must be carried out there.

Wash the contaminated vehicle as soon as possible.

Soak and rinse dead insects before washing.

Irrigate abundantly with water.

Use a soft sponge or a very soft washing brush with a hose connected.

Do not spray much on the varnish coating, but only water and soften the dirt.

Rinse softened dirt from top to bottom with plenty of water.

Rinse your sponge frequently.

To dry, use clean skin.

If used, then only good, fat-free branded detergents. Rinse surfaces thoroughly with clean water to remove detergent residue.

To protect the paintwork, a preservative additive may be added to the water.

With regular use of detergents, it is necessary to apply a preservative more often.

Never wash or dry the car in the sun, otherwise water stains are inevitable on the varnish coating.

Street salt is especially dangerous for the folds, flanges and joints of doors and hoods located inside. Therefore, these areas should be thoroughly cleaned with a sponge at each wash, as well as after washing in an automatic washing machine, and then rinsed and rubbed with leather.

Attention: After washing the vehicle, dampness reduces the braking effect. Therefore, disc brakes should be dried with short braking.

Washing alone does not always remove tar spatter, oil marks, insects and other contaminants. Such dirt must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise it may cause damage to the paintwork. After removal, the varnish in the appropriate places must be treated with a preservative.
