No matter what anyone says, cars in Russia are constantly used intensively. On weekdays – city traffic jams, on weekends – long runs to dachas. And there is loading to the top and dirt roads ready to endure the stages of the Dakar and other tests. In order for the “iron horse” to cope without upsetting the owner with regular breakdowns, you need to know a lot of subtleties and tricks. One of them is in the material of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Spring isn’t just dust and dirt mixed in a potent cocktail with the remnants of winter reagents. In the spring, swarms of insects appear on all roads of the country, which immediately sting the windshield. “Wipers” will not help here, as well as the remnants of antifreeze. In order to later tear off and wash the whole “catch”, special compositions are needed, which are not cheap from now on. And where can I get them at the same dacha if three hours have passed and the “foam” has already opened? Don’t go to the store by bike!
It should be remembered here that special autochemistry appeared relatively recently, but Pushkin wrote about mosquitoes and flies. Therefore, this problem has been addressed before. And they fought very successfully. So there is a “grandfather” method, thanks to which it will be possible to return with a clean windshield – simple and understandable, requiring improvised means. But no solvents and other acetones from the shed, which leave stains and attack plastic, but simple toothpaste.
Any paste is suitable – the cheapest, expired, frozen. This oral hygiene product is a mild abrasive that allows you to quickly and easily remove stuck insects from the windshield. The procedure itself is simple and unpretentious: after washing, when the main dirt and some of the “sticky” have already been washed off, we take a soft cloth – there will certainly be no problems with this in the country – we apply a little paste on the glass and let it dry. Then wipe the mark with a cloth in a circular motion. And so – step by step. In 20 minutes you bring the plywood to the ideal.
Of course, it can be tempting to perform the same manipulations with other “affected” elements of the car: headlights, fenders and hood. But here’s something to think about three times: Toothpaste, though soft, is still an abrasive that can easily leave scratches. And if they are not particularly visible on the headlights, the plastic on them has already worn out, then very noticeable traces remain on the body. So you need to be extremely careful and remember that, firstly, this is not the process in which everything is decided by Silushka Molodetskaya, and secondly, it is still easier to “soak and wash” from the body.
