Car Care Guide -> Keep Your Car in Good Condition
Cars must be maintained in order to keep them in good condition and protect them against corrosion: washing and waxing protects the exterior of the car against damage. A clean car is also nicer to drive and keeps its value better.
Regular washing and waxing protects painted surfaces of the car against external damage such as UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, rain, and air pollution like soot and sulphur. Caring for your car also clearly reduces rust damage.

Cleanliness Is Also Security
Road dust, sand, gravel and mud wear away the paintwork mechanically. Road salt, bitumen and other chemical materials have corrosive effects. The only way to combat these influences is to wash and wax the car frequently enough.
A clean car is safer in the traffic, and you can see better through clean windows, even when the sun is shining straight at you.
When washing and waxing, it is also a good idea to clean the inside of the car and the engine compartment. A clean car has a longer service life and a higher resale value, as well as being nicer to drive.
Even if you often go to an automatic car wash, it is good to wash your car by hand occasionally.
Why Specially-Developed Car Care Products?
Use only materials specifically intended for automobiles, so you are assured good results. Domestic cleaners and common detergents are generally unsuitable for car washing, as they decrease the surface tension of the water too much, allowing the water to penetrate into the paint porosity and damage the paintwork. The water can even split the surface of the paint if it freezes.
There are many different car-wash products on the market. However, it is best to use trusted, well-known, brand-name products to ensure superior results.
Car shampoos such as Korrek Carwash are neutral detergents, well-suited for the removal of dust and mud, as well as for use after solvent cleaning.
