The longer there are on a paint and varnish covering pollution which have stuck to it, the their destroying influence is stronger. The heat or humidity strengthen effect. So, depending on the circumstances, there can be sufficient a car sink once a week. But can quite be the sink with the subsequent preservation of a paint and varnish covering will suffice once a month. After period end посыпания a road covering I will merge necessarily thoroughly помойте the bottom.

Automatic installations of a sink

The varnish of the car is enough прочен for a usual sink of the car in automatic washing installations.

At an automatic sink it is enough to observe usual safety measures (preliminary close windows and the roof panel). Aerials of a factory complete set for radio, phone/system навигации* are in car salon.

At a car complete set special autoaccessories, for example, a spoiler, a luggage carrier on a roof, a radio antenna etc. is better to consult at the personnel of washing installation.

Manual sink

Glasses are necessary for cleaning regularly also from within.

For drying of glasses use a special fabric or a skin for glasses. Intended for processing of the varnished surfaces a skin do not use for drying of glasses since the preservative rests negatively affect visibility.

Threads of heating of back glass are on an internal surface of glass. Gluing of labels on a thread of electroheating of back glass is not supposed not to damage them.

Rubber consolidations

Rubber consolidations of doors, cowl, luggage carrier, the panel of a roof and glasses keep the properties and serve longer if them from time to time to rub with the special means intended for care by rubber products (for example, silicone an aerosol).
