Use clean water or water with car shampoo to wash your car.
Attention! Do not wipe dust and dirt from the body with a dry cloth - you can scratch the paintwork.
Attention! Do not use gasoline, kerosene, soda and sea water for washing, so as not to damage the paintwork, rubber and plastic parts of the body.
Attention! You can’t wash the body in frosty weather and drive out into the cold in a car with a wet body: when water freezes, microcracks can form on the paint surface.
Attention! Do not use petrol or thinner to clean plastic parts.
We recommend washing the body in the shade, as if the paintwork dries quickly in direct sunlight, light spots will remain on the body. If possible, wash the bodywork with a hose and a soft sponge.
Thoroughly wash the joints of body parts and welds. When washing the engine compartment, water should not get on the electrical equipment. We recommend using special engine cleaners. After washing, blow or wipe dry electrical components.
Glasses are best washed with a soft cloth dampened with water and windshield washer fluid.
It is better to use a vacuum cleaner to clean the upholstery and seats. Remove greasy stains from the upholstery with soapy water or special products.
Attention! Do not use water to clean the upholstery of heated seats.
Wash the wheel arches with a high-pressure water jet or a hair brush. Wash the bottom with a bristle brush at least once a year, preferably before the start of winter operation, before restoring the anti-corrosion coating. Periodically wash the underbody and wheel arches in winter to clean them of salt.
Body paint restoration
Attention! Gasoline, oil, brake fluid, electrolyte, alkalis, soda solution that have fallen on the body destroy the paintwork. In case of contact with these substances, immediately rinse and wipe the body with a clean cloth.
Do not store the car under a rubber cover and do not place rubber objects on the painted surfaces of the body: they leave on the paintwork (especially light) dark spots that are not removed by polishing.
Treat the faded paintwork with polish, thereby restoring the shine and polishing the microcracks. Small chips and scratches that do not violate the primer layer, paint over with a thin brush.
If the primer layer is broken, clean the damaged area with a fine grained emery cloth, removing traces of corrosion. Cover the cleaned area with a layer of primer (from a paint sprayer, aerosol can or brush). When the primer is completely dry, paint over the damaged area with enamel.
If bitumen gets on the paintwork of the car, immediately remove it with white spirit or an auto bitumen stain cleaner. Bitumen causes yellow spots, especially noticeable on light paintwork.
