The May holidays are just around the corner, which means there is time to open the summer season and take care of the car. Replace technical fluids and filters, tidy up the appearance and remove traces of “winter use”. And how to do it simply and as cheaply as possible, says the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Unfortunately, even a good wash cannot completely remove dirt, chips, salt, shavings and much more that firmly eats into the surface and is in no hurry to leave the “familiar place”. Especially if bathing procedures were carried out infrequently in winter. If you want to do it right, do it yourself. Therefore, many drivers are on the eve of the “May holidays”: they buy special compounds, auto chemicals, sponges and brushes to restore their beloved car to a decent appearance. Expensive for today’s pleasure, but what to do?
The answer to this rhetorical question actually exists: why not waste money on useless, and often simply harmful “cocktails”. Why are they, if there are simple and understandable, repeatedly tested folk remedies that cope with the task no worse? Take starch as an example.
A bottle of glass cleaner costs 300-400 rubles, while a bag of starch, which can also bring plywood to the ideal, costs 50-60. We dilute it in a glass with a solution of vinegar – there will certainly be in the kitchen – and proceed to the procedure. On the outer plane we work with wide bold strokes, inside – neat. And by the way, the “folk” composition leaves stains on the plastic, so it’s better to cover it neatly with a cloth.
In such a simple way you not only clean the windshield, but also chrome parts, which you will not even look at without tears after the winter. Dirt, stripes, some stains and already visible green. For starch, this is not a problem: we dilute it in water to the consistency of sour cream, apply it to “damaged” places, let the composition dry and rub to shine. The result will amaze you!
Come on, wheels. Many, when examining the “rollers”, may feel that there is no way to wash off the black dust from the brake pads. Never. Unless sandblasting can remove plaque. Use the same “mix” as polished chrome – it will cope with this task. The dirt will begin to move away, which is suggested by the corresponding color of the foam, and after half an hour of hard work, the starch will return the wheels, if not to their original, then quite acceptable appearance.
We add that starch can be used not only in a car for cleaning surfaces – its “functionality” is much wider. In particular, it perfectly removes unpleasant odors from the cabin, removes stains on the seats and allows you to brighten up the carpet. A truly versatile tool, and even at such a ridiculous price.
