Before using the products, read the instructions carefully. If it contains a reference to the fact that the product should be tested on an inconspicuous area of the body, be sure to do so.
Special car shampoos are used to wash the car. It is not recommended to use household detergents, as they contain chemicals that can damage the paintwork.
It is advisable to wash the car body with cold water during the first 2–3 months of operation.
In summer, the car is usually washed outdoors, but it is necessary that it is kept in the shade in sunny weather.
In winter, if the car was washed in a warm room, the body should be wiped dry before driving outside to avoid cracking of the paintwork.
Washing requires a large amount of water (30–50 l).
To wash off loose dirt and road dust, pour water from a bucket over the car..
…or from a hose.
Dilute the shampoo in water in the ratio indicated in the instructions on the package.
The car is washed from top to bottom, detail by detail: the roof separately, the hood separately, etc.
It is convenient to use a brush with a long handle for washing a car (the ends of the bristles should be frayed).
You can also use a sponge or soft cloth.
A sponge is preferable. It holds more shampoo and is easier to "maneuver". At the same time, the sponge should be large-pored. Sand stuck in small pores can scratch the paint.
Rinse off the shampoo with plenty of clean water.
We collect the remaining water on the surface with a damp chamois.
