Helpful Hints
Do not cover the body with a cover made of dense material during a long-term parking of the car. A rain-soaked cover creates steam when heated in the sun «bath», and the body paint underneath may peel off and swell. In addition, under gusts of wind, the cover moves and erases the paint on the protruding parts of the body.
Do not place rubber objects on the body. After a while, the rubber leaves on the surface (especially light) indelible stains.
Regularly lubricate the door hinge axles with any liquid lubricant. There were cases when, due to rusted axles, door hinges came off from the body pillars.
If, over time, the rubber products on the body of your car have lost their presentation, wipe them with a hand cream containing glycerin or silicone grease, which is sold in auto parts stores.
From time to time, pass a thin metal plate between the side glass and the rubber lining on the door - this way you will remove dust and sand, protect the glass from scratches.
After washing, be sure to remove the rubber mats and dry the interior. Moisture under rugs is the main cause of floor corrosion.
