Some tips on car care in the summer

Summer is the time for rest, vacations and trips to nature. However, do not forget that the car in the hot season requires careful care of yourself. After all, the scorching sun, traces of insects, scratches from tree branches and bushes, small chips from flying stones - all this can lead to significant consequences. In this article, we offer several useful rules, following which you can neutralize these and other effects on the vehicle.

• Wheels, like other elements of the car, require care. Therefore, they must be washed regularly. This is especially true for discs made of light alloys. Brake pad wear products can eat into the coating of the discs, thereby destroying them.
• When cleaning the interior, it is not recommended to wet the seats that have a heating function. It is best to use dry foam for this.
• When washing the car body, the water should not be heated above 60 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is higher, then there is a risk of damaging the paintwork.
• Avoid prolonged parking in direct sunlight. If this cannot be avoided, use special solar reflectors. This will help protect the interior of the car from heat and burnout.
• After trips out of town, it is not recommended to use chemicals or solvents to clean windows or headlights. This can significantly damage the surfaces of these parts.
• After cleaning the leather interior, it is recommended to use special products designed for leather products that have a sun protection effect.
• If you find small scratches from branches or chips from stones on your car, then try to remove them immediately. This will help special varnishes or aerosols that match the color of the car.
• Rubber seals will last much longer in the hot season if they are treated with products specially designed for this. This will also prolong the life of their tightness.
• Textile rugs must be dried constantly.
