The devil is in the details and a well-maintained car is in the details. No matter how the body sparkles, and stained and dirty wheels greatly spoil the whole picture. The same goes for chrome, however imperceptible the details may be at first glance. An experienced driver understands that, and therefore always has a few bottles of regular vinegar in stock. Cheap remedy, but the effect is worth a million.
Whatever anyone says, the appearance of the car is extremely important: the car must attract attention, attract attention and please. Especially for the owner. Then, and only then, will it be treated kindly and will last a long time as a result. Even the most expensive and most professional car wash cannot remove all traces of use. This is a job for detailing, and the prices are biting there. Inflation, sanctions, logistics – you know everything yourself. However, there is a simple and very cheap way to achieve the same effect in the garage or in the countryside.
Take, for example, an exhaust pipe that has been blackened by dirt and grime. No amount of pressure will wash away this plaque – here you need a special tool that removes deposits and renews chrome. In the service station they will say that it is necessary to remove, polish, restore. Yes, and then put to sleep and also lead to fitness. But in fact everything is much simpler: the problem is solved with an ordinary solution of vinegar, which is sold in any supermarket for 40-50 rubles.
Armed with a piece of cloth (read: an old T-shirt or pillowcase) we buy a bottle of vinegar. Then we impregnate the material with the composition and apply a “compress” to the once shiny, but now lost all attractiveness, chrome lining. We wait a few minutes, remove the “bandage”, wipe the tip. And behold, it again reflects the light and shines furiously to the envy of all ill-wishers.
The same effect can be achieved by machining the rims. They washed, wiped, put a compress from a piece of cloth soaked in a solution of nine percent vinegar. Ten minutes – and you can erase the remnants with a deft movement of your hand. In terms of efficiency, it is no worse than an expensive vacuum cleaner, but in terms of price and availability three orders higher.
However, before starting the recovery procedures, remember that vinegar is a fragrant thing, so it is best to carry it out on the street. Otherwise, there is a chance to “breathe”. And so that later, by the way, you do not have to wash your hands from the magic remedy for several hours, start the process by putting on rubber gloves in advance.
