Useful tips
When parking the car for a long time, do not cover the body with a cover made of thick material. A cover that gets wet in the rain creates a steam "bath" when heated in the sun, the paintwork of the body underneath it can 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 some time, the rubber will leave a residue on the coating (especially light) indelible stains.
If over time the rubber parts on your car's body become unsightly, wipe them with hand cream containing glycerin or silicone grease sold in auto parts stores.
From time to time, pass a thin metal plate between the side glass and the rubber strip on the door to remove dust and sand and protect the glass from scratches.
After washing, be sure to remove the rubber mats and dry the interior. Moisture under the mats is the main cause of floor corrosion.
