At a time when cars are expensive and parts and repairs are even more expensive, there’s no shame in coming up with simple solutions that can help you avoid this very repair. An experienced driver knows many such life hacks and therefore spends many times less on car maintenance than his ‘green’ colleagues. About the next of them – in the material of the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
A car should serve a person, not a passenger car, right? On a new car, this is a fairly simple process, but if the “Swallow” has already managed to drive a lot, then the opposite story begins. The same goes for upcoming trips. Anyone can travel a hundred kilometers to the dacha, but not everyone will succumb to a multi-thousand trip: many minor and major incidents can happen on the road, hitting not only the mood, but also the family budget.
The simplest example is chips, which are widely available. At least on the Moscow ring road, at least on a rural dirt road in the outback. The further from the capital, the more stones and, as a result, the chances of “catching” a chip. Countless cracks in the hood and bumper, cracks in the headlights – it’s really expensive. But it was possible to “avoid trouble”: an experienced driver, knowing about a long journey, wraps the front with the most ordinary stretch film, which is inexpensive and does the job. After all, it is not for nothing that all the car distillers who have flooded our roads again roll the car almost up to the hood.
The trunk is an important argument when choosing a car in Russia. We all wear! A coil of “stretch” in the car helps to protect soft plastic and decorative interior inserts when transporting too large a load: a trifle that always shatters with each braking, you just need to wind it up, and long pieces must be carefully packed so that they do not spread out into the surrounding space during the maneuver. Fast, cheap, convenient!
Drivers of buses and commercial vehicles use stretch film in a special way: to open the window, but not be bothered by the sun’s rays, they wrap the top of the door. So the face is in the shade and the wind blows. Not a bad mode of comfortable transportation for those who don’t have air conditioning.
By the way, the film also helps with forced repairs along the way: by putting on gloves and wrapping your hands with polymer up to the elbow, you can not only save clothes, but also protect your own limbs from countless cuts and abrasions that will surely occur when changing a wheel and when digging in the engine compartment. Checked – it works!
