The machine, like a woman, loves affection and lubrication. Any experienced driver knows this. And the inexperienced out of ignorance gets into trouble. The AvtoVzglyad portal will tell
First of all, it is worth mentioning some “intimate” places in the car, the existence of which the vast majority of car owners do not even suspect. We’re talking drain and vent holes in the doors, spars and other nooks and crannies of the bodywork. They are supplied in the design of any passenger vehicle and are necessary so that water does not accumulate in these cavities and corrosion does not occur. Even if moisture is present for some reason, it will evaporate through the vent or condense and flow out. The problem is that the edges of these holes eventually lose their paint and begin to rust.
Those who are at the bottom – due to the “sandblasting” of mud flying out from under the wheels, and those located at the bottom of the doors – “thanks to” the hollowing out of the driver and passengers, causing them to scratch high curbs and icy snowdrifts when opening. To at least somewhat protect these places from damage and corrosion, they must be lubricated periodically.
Any “silicone” lubricant is suitable, creating a protective film that prevents contact of the treated area with the atmosphere. It is clear that in terms of efficiency it cannot be compared with a full-fledged anti-corrosion coating, but if the procedure is repeated regularly, it will give a comparable effect.
The second car “gorge”, which loves lubrication in winter, is the gas tank hatch. Periodic thaws, followed by the return of frost, often result in ice often binding both the lid itself and the locking mechanism. So that the hatch does not regularly (or for the expected “plus” on the street) freeze in one piece with the body, the rim must be lubricated with the same “silicones”. It repels water and prevents the hatch from getting bricked up. The processing of the gas tank lock not only prevents the mechanism from freezing, but generally improves its mobility.
The third object for winter lubrication is the gap between the rubber seals of car doors. Snow rises and melts, they are flooded with “freezing rain”, with age they “brown”, lose their elasticity and begin to pass moisture. In any case, lubrication is recommended for the contact points of these rubber bands. After that, due to the water-repellent properties of the “pshikalka”, they always remain dry, and also elastic because the “silicone” penetrates into the micropores of the rubber.
