What does the car need? Wash it several times a year and change the oil once. In three years, and there, you see, and “we will pay off the loan and take a new one.” Only now this tactic no longer works: there are almost no cars left in the showrooms, and you cannot pay off at the bank for three years. Therefore, we begin to pay more attention to the “iron horse” and “put our hands” in previously unknown directions. Unless, of course, there is no desire to become a pedestrian.
How much the rope does not twist, but the end will be. And in the consumer world, the time has come: the car has become a luxury again, and owning it is a success. However, owning it alone is not enough, you must also maintain it so that the monument of success does not become real estate: the cost of each repair is now worse than that of all horror films combined. The Blair Witch Project and The Babadook are just “Six Frames” compared to current SRT bills. Spare parts and work, tools and consumables have increased in price, and the buyer of the service pays for it. Car owner.
And there is only one way not to get into a debt hole and not switch to the Troika card: to start not only operating, but also servicing a car. Not for the “uncle” and the maintenance book, but for myself – to diagnose, repair and even wash. A simple example is bath procedures: a complex with a vacuum cleaner, knock dirt from arches, carpets and let’s go? But no: you need to flush and clean all the drains, remove foliage and dirt from the cracks. And, of course, carefully process all the loops.
For example, the Land Rover maintenance regulations clearly state that the master must not only inspect the hinges, but also clean them and then lubricate them. Hood, trunk, doors. By the way, all Soviet motorists did the same, if, of course, they wanted to continue to drive comfortably in their “Swallow”. For these purposes, there is a special composition and rags that remove old dirt and grease, after which it is necessary to rinse the hinges themselves until they are visually clean. If the composition is domestic, the “torch” will be weak, it will not remove all the blocks, you will have to refine it with a brush.
After washing and drying, proceed to the next step: applying a new lubricant. I really want to save money, but it should not freeze – then the door will simply not open – it should not be too liquid, but it should adhere well to the substrate. In order not to run into a formidable cry about advertising, we suggest choosing for yourself, but the usual Soviet grease will not work. You should look for compounds for locks that repel dirt and prevent moisture from entering. It is desirable that nothing special sticks to it. Its main task is to reduce friction and, again, to protect against dirt and water.
In short, the market will tell you, the Internet will help, they will not charge a lot of money. And the result will be impressive: both visually and technically. Otherwise, a shot, removal of the door and repairs, which will cost about 500 cans of the above chemical composition. Do you need it?
