In summer, it is even more important to take care of your car. The right move to prevent damage, which is often difficult to remedy, is to prevent dirt from settling on the bodywork and inside the passenger compartment. Here are our tips for a trouble-free summer.
This is it-the long-awaited vacations are finally upon us! But how to protect our beloved four-wheeler from any summer mishaps? The action of the sun and high temperatures, in fact, can create even very serious damage on the interior and exterior surfaces of the car. But even sand residues left on the bodywork by summer downpours, if not removed in time, can solidify in the heat and create marks that are difficult to remove. MAFRA recommends that you always keep in your car some products designed to best protect it from this, and much more... That way, when you return from vacation, you won't need a repair job, which could also be very expensive.
Insects, gnats and resin are no longer a problem
Typical summer inconveniences include insects, gnats, and resin on windshields and bodywork. In hot weather, these residues dry out very quickly and are then difficult to remove. Killer is the ideal product to remedy this problem: simply spray the product on the surface to be treated, leave it on for a few seconds and rinse thoroughly. Thanks to its special formulation, it dissolves and eliminates any organic residue, safely, without ruining the treated parts. A useful trick? Diluted in the washer tray, Killer also removes gnats with the action of windshield wiper blades.
For consistently perfect, streak-free visibility, the advice is to regularly check the liquid level in the washer tray and use a specific product, such as Cristalbel, which can effectively degrease and clean windshields and rear windows, while also releasing a pleasant scent into the interior.
No more residue of sand and soil
Summer rains often leave mineral residue on the bodywork which, if not promptly removed, tends to ruin and dull the paint. A handy system for cleaning the car is Fast Cleaner, the quick dry cleaner to make the car shine again quickly and without water. It can be used daily to remove fresh dirt from bodywork and windows.
Clean and protected dashboards and plastics
The action of UV rays and the high temperatures reached inside the passenger compartment when the car is parked in the sun for a long time can damage the dashboard and plastic parts. The solution for this problem is. 3in1 Plastics Treatment, a special treatment that can clean, brighten and protect any plastic surface. The mix of detergents, beeswax and protective polymers ensures effective and gentle cleaning of surfaces, without greasing: simply spray the product on the part to be treated and spread it with a microfiber cloth. Its special formulation creates an effective UV and anti-static barrier that can reduce dust settling, while also preventing premature bleaching of plastics.
Clean seats and bad odors out of the passenger compartment
When traveling in the summer, it may happen that you stain your seats with sunscreen or spill drinks. Don't panic, there is Flash! The innovative formula, rich in carefully selected active substances, quickly and effectively removes the most stubborn dirt. Thanks to its special "Odor Stop" effect, it also neutralizes bad odors from animals, food and tobacco.
Smart products, always at your fingertips
A solution to keep in the glove compartment, easy to use and immediately ready to use? MAFRA offers the handy disposable wipes Wipes Clean for cleaning interior windows, Wipes Satin for satin-finished dashboards, and Wipes Shine for glossy ones. The honeycomb structure of the fabric, combined with a higher amount of cleaning product than traditional wipes, facilitates the removal of dirt and dust, leaving a pleasant scent of cleanliness and freshness.
A touch of fragrance-not just for the car!
To renew the air, while also eliminating bad odors, the right product is POP AiRT: the new spray fragrances, which can be used in cars but also in any environment, for a pleasant and long-lasting fragrance with a personal touch. Six fragrances: Bubble Gum, sweet and enveloping; Caribbean Sun, intense and fruity; Dream Forest, freshness with an oriental taste; Ocean Breeze; pleasant marine breeze; Wild Berries, olfactory experience with intense flavors; Unika, the special scent typical of MAFRA's best car care products.
Microfiber cloths, for a perfect result
For a "textbook" result, in addition to choosing quality products, clean, microfiber cloths should be used. Heavy Work is the ideal solution: thanks to excellent wear resistance, it can be used both for the exterior and to remove dirt in the interior. The fibers, which are incredibly soft and strong, are able to work in depth, removing all kinds of dirt. For fast and perfect drying, the product to use instead is Super Dryer: a large microfiber cloth that provides exceptional absorbency for a job without haloes and swirls, the annoying micro-scratches that are created as a result of an improperly performed wash.
MAFRA's final advice? If the car is particularly dirty, the right thing to do is to take it to a well-equipped, quality car wash center. The AutoWellness APP is the best tool for locating the nearest facility in line with your needs, even on vacation! In the self boxes, you can use Condom Wash, the revolutionary soft chenille microfiber cover to be applied directly to the brush: its innovative double inner sock prevents the bristles from coming into direct contact with the bodywork, for a safe and even more thorough wash.
