Autumn is a dull time… And for the car owner as well as his car. And in order to avoid adversity, you need to think about preparing the “iron horse” for frost in advance. The main thing is to remember that some procedures for the fall of the car are contraindicated. Which one – the AvtoVzglyad portal will tell.
How to properly prepare the car for the onset of cold weather has already been written and rewritten. Therefore, it is better to focus on what can not be done with a car in the fall, and especially with its engine and body.
So forget washing the engine compartment. Most often, this procedure is done in the warm season, and in the fall the engine compartment has a chance not to dry out corny. We don’t think it’s necessary to tell about what consequences moisture can have for the engine, wiring and electronics.
Also do not neglect the heating of the power supply. In the summer, if it is enough to start the engine and, after waiting for the speed to drop, slowly and without accelerating again, continue until the engine has reached operating temperature, then with a drop in the “heart” of the machine, it is better to warm it up. Butter loves warmth, just like you rest at sea. And of course you should also only press the gas into the floor when the device has reached the desired thermal level.
As for the bodywork, we do not recommend washing it before frost as there is a risk of freezing the seals and even the doors, trunk and fuel tank hatch. Yes, and the paintwork suffers even more. Admittedly, this does not apply to car owners who park their car in a heated garage or underground parking.
Experts also strongly advise against polishing the body in anticipation of cold weather. Not every paste can withstand sudden changes in temperature, and often it just lies unevenly on the coating and quickly loses its protective properties. It is true that auto chemistry has evolved to match its progress, so before purchasing a polish or ordering a procedure from a detailing center, read the instructions for its use.
