How to Wash your Car Properly

Wash your car regularly - I recommend doing this at least once a month. Things such as insects, birds fall, or limestone dripping paint damage leaving permanent stains if not washed off in time. When the car is clean, all the moisture dries quickly, but when dirty, the moisture accumulates in dirty areas causing corrosion. At least once in a wash, while the working pressure (pressure washing can be found in the car wash stations currency) - which removes dirt from hard to reach areas. Do not hold the pressure spray nozzle too close to painted surfaces, peeling paint can be released. Wash all places where it might be the accumulated dirt and salt, for example, behind moldings, inside wheel arches, under the bumper, etc. It is particularly useful after the winter season - to wash all accumulations of salt to accelerate the corrosion process. Do not forget to wash all the dirt from the windshield. The sand was left on the windshield is caught by the wiper blades and scratches on the windshield when the wipers are operating.
