Make-up services, evening eye make-up. — Toyota Prius, 1.5 liter, 2008
As they say, when the cat has nothing to do, he decided to put the car in order.
I went to a car wash at a Toyota salon, especially since after MOT I had a coupon for 1 free car wash (in secret: I have 2 more!). Price: Freebie!
Then I went to one of the gas stations to vacuum, I like how the vacuum cleaner works there. For one euro, you can vacuum until you get crazy, there is no time limit!
In order:
1. For washing glass from the outside, it washes everything without exception!
2. Foam spray for the instrument panel with the Antistatic property, gets into the most secluded places and raises the dirt to the top, it remains only to wipe it with a cloth.
3. Foam spray for cleaning glass from the inside, cleans all types of dirt and without streaks, does not smell like ammonia, but the effect!
4. Protective polish. Brings gloss with the Lotus effect,
even in winter the salt does not remain on the body, but simply flows off.
Wet wipes for the care of interior plastic and instrument panel.
Foam spray for the panel and the result of the work!
Well, the last 2 photos
The car before and after the services of a make-up artist! :-)
All funds are inexpensive, purchased on occasion during promotions and sales.
The main thing is to pay attention to the condition of the brushes so that they are not very shabby.
And one more piece of advice, stopping at the car wash, remove the antenna and fold the mirrors so that the brush does not wrap.
I completely agree, I am grateful for the detailed answer, lately I also make a choice in favor of automatic machines. Apparently we are afraid of everything that is new.
Any type of washing harms the paintwork. Basically, I wash it on automatic to save time, the vast majority of motorists do the same. more expensive.
At the sink, I first look at the condition of the brushes, if the old ones I go to another one. In winter, on such machines, the brushes freeze over and can beat the varnish, so I go to the conveyor sink. which wash the top and sides but also the bottom of the car washes under pressure, at the end the car is dried with a hairdryer.
We have an automatic car wash at every gas station and there is always a queue, I think that the answer is clear how they treat it. Only rarities and those who have the time and space are washed by hand.
Compared to a car wash, the road does hundreds of times more damage, so the rainbow mesh from the car wash cannot be compared with flying stones from under the wheels.
There is an opinion among professionals that automatic car washes scratch cars. How do you and Europe as a whole feel about such car washes based on your observations?
Nigrin is a very good cosmetic. For example, plastic spray penetrates into all pores and raises dirt to the surface, does not give a greasy sheen. The panel is still clean, dust does not stick.
But the glass needs to be washed again.
Foam spray for the panel and for glass from the inside is interesting, but we don't have such things :(
Civilization also reached the west of the Moscow Region, a Swiss (really royal) portal car wash was installed - and so, people are not particularly eager, everyone costs by hand, although twice as expensive, well, I can say that manual is still better, they lick me like a cat ... and, on the portal, all slag and office clothes are washed ... This is such an economy in Russian!
