Basic cleaning – inside and outside
The first step to fresh spring car ride to the car wash. Here one should, however, only the basic program do not, but one that also includes engine and underbody wash laundry. Road salt is in fact a true killer underbody, rust is the result. Recommend a car wash is not with nylon brush works, but with brushes made of microfiber Strip. These spare the paint and prevent small scratches.
Who Convertible is moving or has enough time and leisure, which goes to a designated wash area and engages himself to a sponge and water bucket. Warning: These places have dirt filters and oil separators, thereby preventing damage to the environment. Furthermore, the car wash in the driveway or in nature is strictly prohibited and attracts severe penalties with it. Wash your car by hand, one should not miss the wheel arches forget, as much dirt and salt residue gather here and furthermore one should ever have a power washing the pressure washer to make with as electronic components and ignition in the engine compartment is very sensitive to such Treatment would react.
Is the car washed and dried, seal worth a car wax. This milky liquid is applied with a soft cloth and, after drying, then the powdered residue polishing away with cotton wool.
Next, take then the interior from the car. The main problem of winter is the moisture that gets into the interior. This is due to wet clothes and shoes, snow remains on the floor mats, coupled with the fact that air conditioning is little used in winter and windows closed and remain. Sun interior can not dry quickly, making it a musty odor and mold, at worst rust. The moisture brings you the best with newspaper or microfiber cloth to the body, which one night in the foot spreads about. According to this measure the windows always fog nor should the cabin air filter be replaced.
If the car is dry now, to clean the seats. Fabric or suede seat upholstery cleaner can be foamed with commercial. After this has dried, the seats can be sucked off the rest of the interior together with. For leather seats, a lubricating cleaners are used, otherwise fast small cracks and fractures in the material form.
Now just need the glass, plastic panels and the dashboard cleaned. This is the best window cleaner. One should forget the interior cleaning is not the trunk. Snow, spade, de-icer spray washer antifreeze and other winter accessories are no longer needed and consumes unnecessary fuel.
The boot is cleared out and cleaned, should the condition of the spare tire and look for the content of the first aid kit. During this thorough overhaul of his car, one should also take a look at shock absorbers, vehicle electronics and the vehicle battery. Here we removed the corrosion at the poles and on occasion, the acid density can check.
Paint repair
Mostly we discovered after the small cleaning damage vehicle paint. These arise in the winter especially thrown up by road salt and grit. How to avoid severe corrosion damage, you should now inflict damage with body paint markers on the move. These are available either at the dealership, or even in well-stocked hardware stores. The color code of the coating can be found in his vehicle documents or on a sticker, which is usually in the trunk id.
Check door and window seals
Like to forget when cleaning the rubber seals on the doors and windows, but the wiper blades. While dirty and damaged rubber seals moisture penetration and thus lead to rust and mildew to be defective wiper blades to the real danger on the road. The rubber seals should be checked for damage, then they will be cleaned with warm soapy water and a silicone-coated with care. The wiper blades are the cold brittle made by or used on Eisresten torn through. They should be replaced immediately.
Dampening switch
The winter is over, so it is important that the water of the washing system is also changed. Antifreeze is no longer necessary, but it is worth the use of a water additive, the insects away from the disk.
Tire change is coming
After the winter again reared the summer, as is commonly also says “Summer is gone from O to O ‘(Easter to October). Winter over summer, “The use up” should be avoided, for the following reasons: summer tires are made of a different rubber compound and have a different profile. Thus they provide better handling in the summer, and the rolling resistance decreases. This increases safety and reduces the fuel consumption.
The tire change can be, if you do not own the trusts, little money in the workshop can make one for, in immediately for the correct tire pressure will be taken care of in. Here, you can if necessary also ask whether there is a possibility, the store does not currently required to have winter tires. Many shops offer their customers this service for a small storage fee.
If you switch the tires themselves, we must even for the correct air pressure in the tires also provide. Information on the required pressure is found on a sticker on the driver’s door, in the gas cap or course, in the vehicle documents. To reduce rolling resistance, you should always take the maximum recommended air pressure, even if the car is unloaded. But whether the tires mounted even have been or in the workshop, after 50 km the lug nuts tightened. Prior to the entry of the winter they should be the same damage, dirt and tread depth check up at the next winter-wish-Winter sold out when-not experiencing unpleasant surprise.
Small foreign bodies, such as gravel, can profile be removed well from the knitting needle with a. Caution is advised when a foreign body from sharp metal pins, broken glass and the like exist. Then the tire must be examined carefully whether the sharp objects have damaged the tire. In the tire shop, the technician said quickly whether a repair is advisable or whether the tire to be replaced. For the investigation of the tread you put a one-euro coin in the profile. Is gold edge to see nothing more of the sufficient profile for the next winter from that. More precisely, we can determine the profile with a tester, an instrument, the hardware store for less money is available in each. The tread depth should be at least 5 millimeters. If this is checked everything, you can store the tires: a dry place, lying down or in a so-called tree hanging on rims. Before storing it marked on the respective winter tires with chalk the position of the car.

Cabrio Care
What is important when the convertible top care?
The time of the latest convertibles breaks at the end of winter. Convertible tops had to endure a lot over the season, so now is a thorough maintenance and repair minor damage first duty. The care can be easily accomplished alone, more damage you should quickly leave a professional for repair. Minor damage to roof and windows can be but with little technical skill and the “How to get” even in the grip
Softtop and Hardtoppflege (pre-cleaning, cleaning & waterproofing)
The maintenance of the soft tops (textile hood) is more complex than the hardtop (fixed roof made of aluminum or plastic). With the hard top roofs are either permanently mounted in use, which are removed when needed, or, in newer cars, to the body fixed to roofs, which can be folded in a few segments in the trunk. Hardtops are usually cleaned like the rest of the body. Otherwise, the joints of the roof of the rod are cleaned and lubricated, the top compartment is drained and washed regularly. When the cleaning of soft tops proceeds as follows: In the pre-cleaning dust and dirt are washed off. Here the use of clear, lukewarm water is recommended, the use of high pressure lamps should be avoided because it destroys the impregnation. In the subsequent cleaning residues are insects brushed out carefully and with a soft brush in straight lines, always in one direction. In the transition to the sheet, make sure that the paint is not scratched. The (solvent) detergent, preferably dishwashing detergent or soap should be distributed carefully and sparingly, otherwise a penalty spots. Now the seals on the windows and frames are cleaned. After cleaning, rinse with warm water and the deck should be in the open (in the shade) dry well. In no case shall the canopy in the wet state can be opened, because the formation of mildew, and creases. With plexiglass or Weichkunststoffscheiben delivers a polished best cleaning results. Dust and dirt act like sandpaper on here, namely, the roof-bearing surface and therefore should be removed periodically with a soft, damp cloth. The seals are then treated with a rubber care product. Maintenance of the linkage does not differ to the hardtop. The impregnation is to be renewed approximately every four months. It should be before the date of purchase warrant, however, whether it is suitable to be treated for the top, there can be, for example, wax-containing polymer means dark tops with time fade considerably. When impregnation is essential to ensure perfect cleanliness of the areas to be
