Ordinary food film, which can be bought at any store, can help literally any car enthusiast. And in completely different situations. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the circumstances in which the foil proves to be really indispensable.
Few people know that the film is very effective against rust stains that appear on the chrome elements of the body over time. It can be safely used to clean moldings, for example, without having to buy expensive automotive chemicals. To begin with, we clean the part from the dirt, then we take the foil and moisten it with water with a small amount of salt. Now let’s get to work.
AGAINST RUST
We wipe rust stains, paying close attention to areas heavily damaged by rust. Aluminum foil will not only clean the stains, but also “seal” each of them, as it were. Thus, the result of labor can be preserved for a long time. After processing, wipe the part with a damp cloth to rinse off the remains of the water-saline solution. Congratulations: now the rust will not make itself felt for long!
AGAINST THE SUN
Another way to use foil is to protect the interior of a car from the sun. Since the metal “paper” perfectly reflects the sun’s rays, the interior of the car will warm up more slowly, and the steering wheel will not burn your hands even after long parking in the heat. So instead of buying a special sunshade, just cover the windshield with foil, as well as the side windows of the car.
FOR SEALING:
This material can also be used for repairs. Let’s say for temporary sealing of flexible connections, or wires. This is suitable for those who have an outage en route and need to reach the service.
ANTI-THEFT BONUS
Finally, some motorists wrap their car’s smart key in foil. It is believed that theft can be prevented because the foil blocks the signals the key sends to the car. However, such “anti-theft” is questionable. The smart key does indeed transmit signals, but their power is too low for the car thief scanner to “catch” them. In theory, interception is only possible if the driver gets close to the car. But then the foil will certainly not help. After all, the owner has to somehow open the door, right?
