Do not use hot water to wash your car in winter. In this respect reports “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”, citing Alexey Ruzanov, technical director of the international network of car service centers Fit Service.
“It is recommended to wash your vehicle when the temperature outside does not exceed 15 degrees below zero. Too hot water is harmful to the body and glass, it is better to wash the car with warm water. Also, the laundry room should be warm. It is not recommended to go to cold car washes and self-service car washes at night. Ideally, after a frost, your car is allowed to sit in a warm place for 5-10 minutes so that the sudden temperature change does not have a negative effect on the paintwork,” said Ruzanov.
According to the auto expert, it is recommended to apply silicone to rubber seals, hinges and locks after washing the vehicle. And most importantly, you need to dry and blow the car before getting out of the pit. Freezing water is absolutely harmful to all elements and systems of the vehicle.
You can look at the door edge to see if the car is dry after washing. If there are drips on it, you need to dry the vehicle again.
