Dirt can settle on your body at any time of the year – be it salt in winter, pollen in spring, insects in summer or leaves in autumn. Failure to remove debris and dirt can ultimately lead to paint damage. Regular cleaning not only gives the car a new shine, but also helps maintain its value. With the following tips, your car will be clean again soon..
Whether you can wash your car in front of your house depends on local regulations. In some regions, it is prohibited on public roads. This applies regardless of whether or not cleaning products are used.
Washing your car is generally permitted on private property. However, the prerequisite is that the water you use to wash your car at home ends up down the drain. Before washing your car at home, you should always check whether washing the car on private property is not expressly prohibited. A legally safe alternative is to wash your car at a car wash station.
We use the following steps to clean outside your car:
Insect remains can be removed using a special insect remover. Residue can then be gently removed from painted surfaces, grilles, exterior mirrors, windows and plastic. After pre-cleaning your car, simply spray the cleaner on the affected areas, let it work and then rinse it with clean water. Alternatively, the dirt can be soaked with a damp paper towel and simply removed after a good 15 minutes.
It is, the easier to remove with warm water and a sponge, a pressure washer.. If the dirt has already dried up, two home remedies can help:
Either apply some grease or cooking oil. After a few minutes, the dirt can be wiped off with a soft cloth.
Bird droppings that are not removed from the car can damage the paint, especially during the summer months. Don't wait to dry up.
Important: Dried droppings should never be rubbed off, as this could scratch the car. Instead, soak the affected area with warm water and a cloth before washing the car with a pressure washer or at the car wash. The droppings can then be easily wiped away with a soft sponge or damp cloth.
Frequent drivers and commuters know the problem: in warm months, dirt, pollen and bugs quickly collect on the windshield. Not only does this look shabby, but it can also dangerously restrict visibility. Regardless of when the next gas station or car wash is, the windshield, side windows and mirrors should also be cleaned more often. The best way to achieve this is with a special car window cleaner, which guarantees streak-free and glare-free cleaning and removes insects, road dirt and fingerprints. Cleaners often contain additives that have an antistatic effect, so that glass surfaces no longer become as dirty and are easier to clean in the future. To clean windows, simply apply the cleaner to the surfaces, leave to act briefly and wipe with a soft microfiber cloth. It's even easier with the windshield cleaning kit with electric ice scraper, which can be used all year round. The powerful rotation of the electric ice scraper effortlessly removes stuck-on dirt.
