cars are massively suffering from this enemy

Even when the sky is overwhelmed, there is no shortage of those who want to wash their car just before the rain. People do not hide – cars are currently washed more often than usual.

« When I get a lot of salts, I wash, » he said.

« The queues are, of course, larger – more drivers are washing their cars, » said another interviewer.

This is also confirmed by the laundry representatives.

“This year's washings have been increasing since January, as the weather was warm, so people were washing. There were very big queues – we were washing 300 cars in the tunnel car wash, usually about 150 machines, which is twice as many, ”said Remigijus Majauskas, Director of UAB Skulas.

« Compared to a similar period last year, the flow increased twice, » said Jurgis Bižys, a spokesman for the Self -Service Laundry Network.

« For the last three days, we have been watching the truly increased flow of cars – the men had a lot of work, the flow to and even behind the street, we had a queue of cars, » said Kęstutis Kunigelis, CEO of Ainava.

Car servicees say that the salt deposited on cars is not only damaging to the body.

“The so -called corrosion is particularly affected by aluminum details – brake hugs, even the same lever. Even a year later, the replaced details come to the surface, ”explained Arvydas Gailiušas, the head of the Azegra garage.

For the first year, such aggressive salt has been worrying even for the masters who have seen everything.

« We didn't notice such processes in the past – just a fractional detail, » Gailušas said.

Salt, according to the master, even gets into places where he should not.

“An interesting situation is that if we repair or replace the parking system sensors, when we open them, we notice the obvious corrosion foci, just grueling connections. It should not be – it is airtight enough, ”said A. Gailiušas.

“We see the growing awareness of people – probably 10 years ago, people had to be convinced that it was necessary to wash the car during the winter season. Today, people understand, feel and want to take care of their cars, ”said a spokesman for the » Clean brothers « self -service car wash network.

The masters agree – washing is the only remedy against salt, but here too, it is important to know what not to do.

“During washing, the salt is diluted and rinsed – obviously 100 percent. You won't flush, but that's fine. There is only one big mistake – the washed cars are placed in warm, non -ventilated garages. In this case, there is no place to evaporate on the water, it has a negative impact on the whole process of corrosion, ”said A. Gailiušas.

In winter, generous salt is harmful not only to cars but also for human footwear.
