Car wash area (Mercedes-Benz E-Class W210)

Cars are washed at specialized car washes. They have all the necessary attachments, including a vacuum cleaner. Beforehand, car wash workers should definitely check the condition of the sponges and brushes. It is possible that the previous car drove a lot on country roads and the brushes were not cleaned of small stones and other hard particles. In this case, scratches on your car are inevitable. You should not wash your car in the hot sun - due to the lens effect, the paintwork may be damaged.

Checking brakes after washing a car

After washing the car, be sure to dry the brakes - perform several test brakes. This will evaporate the water that got between the brake pads and discs.

By frequently applying the brakes slightly in the last 100 m of the journey, you will remove moisture and salts from the brake discs and increase the service life of the brake system. After driving in the rain or on roads treated with special cleaning agents, it is necessary to dry the brakes before parking the car in the garage for a long time.
