The pastes close microcracks and pores that arise during the use of the paint coating, thereby preventing the occurrence of corrosion under the paint layer.
When storing a car in the cold season at sub-zero temperatures in an open parking lot under a cover, it is necessary to ensure that the cover does not adhere to the painted surfaces of the body to avoid damage to the paint (formation of blisters, peeling). For normal ventilation of painted surfaces, soft pads of at least 20 mm in height are placed between the cover and the body. The cover must be made of air-permeable material. The use of covers made of air-impermeable materials and without ventilation holes in the windshield and rear window area promotes condensation of moisture on the body surface, which, if exposed for a long time, can damage the body paint.
The car is washed with a low-pressure water jet until the dirt dries. Sponges and shampoo are used. In summer, wash in the shade if possible. If this is not possible, then immediately wipe the washed surfaces dry so that stains do not form on the surfaces when the water drops dry. In winter, the body is washed in a warm room, before leaving the body is wiped dry, and the door and hood seals are also wiped. In winter, you can clean the paintwork of the body without using water using "Quick-cleaning agent with silicone".
It is not allowed to wash the car with soda and alkaline solutions to avoid dulling of the body surfaces. Before washing the car, clean the drainage holes at the bottom of the thresholds and doors.
It is recommended to clean plastic parts with the car shampoo "Peenny" in an aerosol package, "Avtoochistitel-1 obivki" or wipe with a damp cloth. It is not recommended to use gasoline or solvents, so that the plastic parts do not lose their shine.

During the first 2-3 months of car operation, the body surface is washed with cold water. When polishing a new coating (up to 3 years), non-abrasive polishing agents for new coatings are used.
When using cars for a period of 3 to 5 years, it is necessary to use car polishes for weathered surfaces, which contain a small amount of abrasive substances; after 5 years of intensive use - use car polishes for old coatings. To prevent the car polish from drying out, polish the body in small sections manually with clean flannel.
To eliminate minor defects of the paintwork, you can use polishing pastes VAZ-1, VAZ-2 and polishing compound VAZ-OZ. You can polish manually or with a power tool with flannel or beanie circles. Before use, stir the paste, dilute with water if it thickens. After polishing, wipe the surface with clean flannel.
To ensure that the car body surfaces retain their shine for a long time, do not leave the car in the sun for a long time, and do not allow acids, brake fluid or gasoline to come into contact with the car body surfaces.
If signs of corrosion are detected (corrosion deposits, paint blistering, etc.) it is necessary to sand the damaged surfaces with 55S 4-P sandpaper and apply layers of GF-073, EF-093 primer and 2-3 layers of ML-197 synthetic enamel.
Due to the complexity of selecting a paint color, it is necessary to paint the entire part, and not just its individual sections.
