Exterior Car Wash

Cars are exposed to weather conditions and natural elements all the time throughout the year. While road salt and mud in winter leave a layer of dirt on the paint, wheels and plastic parts, UV radiation and insects touch the vehicle in summer. Regular car maintenance allows it to shine again quickly and also helps to preserve value. There are some things that are worth noting in this context, and we want to address them in this place. Whether it is spring cleaning or a weekly wash, we will give you advice here about car washing, for chassis and engine cleaning.

Car wash

Since in many cities and municipalities it is not allowed to wash cars outdoors, at least recommendations from the authorities against washing the car outdoors, a car wash is generally one of the few ways to get your car washed. At the car wash, the driver remains in the car, while the car is pulled through a hall and washed. Whether you choose a car wash or do the job yourself, be sure to close all windows and, if necessary, the sunroof, to prevent water damage to the interior. If possible, fold out exterior mirrors and unscrew the antenna. Convertibles should avoid car washes and instead get a more gentle hand wash.

In the spring, a complete wash that thoroughly removes residue from the winter is recommended. This involves a pre-wash first, where the dirt on the rims and the wheelhouse is removed. This is followed by a washing of the chassis, because sleet and road salt have stubbornly attached themselves here. Treat your car for preservation that seals the paint. An interior cleaning completes the spring cleaning.

In the summer, there is a danger that insects, debris and UV rays will crack the paint. Wash these deposits away as quickly as possible so that the paint does not become irreparably damaged or get pale stains. If possible, wait for bad weather before driving to the car wash. On a rainy day, secretions from trees on the car get wet and thus easier to remove. By the way, car washes with cloths instead of costs are gentler. Although there is no risk of scratches, brooms can leave streaks that look like scratches. In fact, this is another advantage of washing while the weather is bad: experience has shown that brooms and cloths are cleaner on such days. Besides, on such days you generally do not have to wait long in line at the Bilvask.

If you have decided to seal with wax, be sure to remove the wax from the rubber on the wiper. After washing the outside, the interior continues. Over time, a layer of dirt develops on the inside of the windshield, which can lead to visual obstruction, so clean the windshield regularly with window cleaner and wipe.
