Car wash



Cleaning is an essential component of care for the body.

A WARNING
To prevent environmental pollution wash your car in the designated areas, equipped with drains or local treatment facilities.

HELPFUL HINTS
Before washing the car, clean the drain holes doors and thresholds (see. "Cleaning the drainage holes of the body").
Do not wipe away any dust and dirt with a dry cloth body - so you can scratch the paintwork.
Do not use washing petrol, kerosene, baking soda and salt water to avoid damaging the paint, rubber and plastic body parts. Do not wash the body in cold weather and frost to travel by car with a wet body: when water freezes on the surface of the paint can develop hairline cracks.
To clean the plastic parts can not use gasoline or solvents.
A WARNING
Brake fluid, electrolyte, alkali, soda solution destroys the paintwork. When you contact these substances, immediately rinse and wipe the body with a clean cloth.

1. We recommend to wash the body in the shadows, as if a fast drying paint in direct sunlight on the body remain bright spots. If possible, wash the body with water from a hose and a soft sponge.
2. Thoroughly rinse the junction body parts and welds, as well as a place of rolling door panels and hood.
3. When washing the engine compartment water should not fall on the electrical components. We recommend to use special tools to clean the engine. After washing, blow dry with air or electrical components.
4. Glass is best cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with water and washer fluid.
5. Clean the elements and seat upholstery is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner. Oily stains from upholstery remove soap solution or special means for cleaning the interior.
6. To make the gloss plastic parts interior and exterior finishes can be used ordinary silicone grease. Apply a thin layer to the plastic parts and polish with a clean cloth.
A WARNING
Do not use silikonosoderzhaschie means for handling the steering wheel.

7. Wheel arch wash or high-pressure jet or a hair brush. The bottom wash hair brush at least once a year, preferably before the start of winter operation, before restoring the corrosion-resistant coating. Periodically wash the bottom and wheel arches in the winter to clear them from the anti-icing agents.
