Car wash

Checking the cleanliness of the car

Place for washing

If you wash your car yourself

Fig. 3.4. Car wash

Washing the car on the street is now banned in many cities. This is for good reason: during the wash with dirty water into drains get the remaining oil and other harmful substances. Therefore, an automatic car wash - a good solution. The amount of water - enough, the process - gentle. Oil separators, and water treatment systems take care of the environment. Furthermore, it is possible to select various washing programs.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Using high-pressure washing machine

1. Water temperature should be a maximum of 60 ?� C. Too hot water affects the tires and underbody protection.

2. Pressure regulator put up to 3 MPa.

3. You are at a distance of 60-80 cm (Fig. 3.4).

With a smaller distance from the car and the high pressure there is a risk of damage paintwork.

4. When washing the engine, be careful, as water can damage the electronics of the car or get into the engine through the intake manifold, which can lead to breakage.
