A car is not just a means of transportation, but also the face of its owner. And cleaning its interior and exterior should be a regular thing, so that you don’t have to blush for the dirty and groomed "iron horse".
We present you 10 ways to improve the appearance of the machine using simple and affordable means.
10. Hair conditioner as protection against raindrops
Wash your car with a hair conditioner containing lanolin. After such a wash, the surface of the car will repel raindrops for some time.
9. Coca-Cola for cleaning the windshield
When it rains after a long dry period, dirty stains appear on the windshield. To get rid of them, wash the glass with Coca-Cola. Lay a towel along the bottom of the windshield to protect the hood paint. Do not forget to wash the glass thoroughly with water later, otherwise all your efforts to clean the machine will come to naught, since the stake is sticky and dust and dirt will sit perfectly on it
8. Synthetic wax for a shiny finish
Some car enthusiasts prefer carnauba wax. It gives a deep, warm glow. But for the wet shine effect, it’s better to take one of the synthetic polymer waxes, such as Meguiar’s Ultimate Liquid Wax. Apply wax to the sponge and rub in a circular motion into the car. Then wipe the treated surface with a microfiber towel. Once the towel is wet, replace it with a clean one.
7. Clean leather upholstery in 24 hours
This may seem extreme, but if you have leather upholstery in the interior of your car, buy a leather cleaning kit and keep it in the car. If you wait longer than 24 hours, lipstick, mascara and paint from clothes will be prescribed in the interior on an ongoing basis. Treat your skin with conditioner before starting the stain removal process. Wipe the contaminated area of the leather seat with air conditioning and leave it on for 30 seconds, then go with a clean cloth. Then apply a skin cleanser and skin protective cream.
6. How to clean the wiper blade
If the wiper blades get dirty, they will leave streaks on the windshield. To prepare a cleaning solution, mix 1/4 cup of household ammonia with 1 liter of cold water. Carefully lift the wipers, and treat both sides with a soft cloth or towel soaked in the solution. Then wipe the blades with a dry cloth before lowering the wipers into place.
5. Air brush
Air conditioner blinds are a real magnet for dust, and it is not so easy to “smoke” this dust with a vacuum cleaner with a brush nozzle. Take a medium-sized paint brush and go through the blinds.
4. Soda for baking as a means for washing a car
In the top 10 best means for cleaning cars, there was a place for baking soda. Add 1/4 cup soda to a four-liter bowl, pour 1/4 cup of dishwashing liquid and enough water to fill the bowl almost to the brim. Shake the container vigorously, and then pour 1 cup of the mixture into a 2 liter bucket of warm water. Stir, and your home cleaning machine wash solution is ready to use.
3. A screwdriver instead of a brush
To remove dirt from lines and recesses inside the car, wrap a cloth soaked in a universal cleaner around an old screwdriver (no sharp edges). Carefully move the screwdriver along the lines to collect all the accumulated debris in them. Remember to walk around the control buttons.
2. Kerosene instead of wax
Mix 1 cup of kerosene with 11 liters of water, then dip a sponge in the mixture and wash the machine. The next time it rains, rainwater will roll balls around the car, reducing the chance of corrosion.
1. Avoid air drying
If you wash the car, and then leave it in the open air, unsightly stains may appear. After “wet cleaning”, use suede or a soft terry cloth so that it absorbs excess water and does not scratch the paint.
