- start washing your car immediately after a trip, especially if you are in adverse weather conditions (rain, snow, dust storm);
- before washing, remove dead insects, especially from the windshield and headlights;
- for washing use a large amount of water and use a sponge or a very soft brush. Wet the surface of the body, starting from the top, with a large amount of water and let the dirt soak;
- do not allow water and steam under high pressure to come into contact with painted surfaces of the body;
- wash away the soaked dirt from top to bottom with plenty of running water, rinse the sponge or brush in running water as often as possible. Use technical chamois or an old, well-washed, soft rag to wipe the body;
- for washing it is recommended to use preparations for the care of painted surfaces (car shampoos). Rinse off any remaining detergent thoroughly with clean running water;
- to protect the paintwork, you can add products for the care of the painted surface to the water. Do not wash or dry the car in the sun, as water drops act as lenses and whitish spots remain on the paint;
- remove any leaked fuel, oil, grease, brake fluid or antifreeze from the body surface immediately. Road salt is especially harmful to interior cavities, flanges and folds, as well as to door joints, roof, trunk and hood.
Attention! Moisture on the brake discs reduces braking efficiency. It is recommended to apply the brakes several times at the initial stage of the trip to dry them.
