Car care

Every 1–2 weeks in summer, weekly in winter (road salt eats the body). Two-bucket contact wash: foam + mitt. Chassis and arches — mandatory after winter.

Wax — 2–3 months protection, sealant — 6–12, ceramic — 2–5 years. Apply to a clean degreased body. In winter — underbody anti-corrosion.

Deep clean yearly, leather conditioner 2–3x yearly. Plastic — matte products without silicone. Rubber mats in winter — water under fabric = corrosion.

Weekly: tire pressure, fluid levels. Monthly: wash, visual check. Quarterly: wax, detailing. Yearly: deep clean, headlight polish, anti-corrosion.

Washer fluid by season (−25 in winter). Coolant — between min/max when cold. Brake fluid — every 2 years. Oil — per schedule, 10–15k km.

Don't pour water on locks, silicone on door seals, scraper+brush in the car. Garage — ventilated: moisture is worse than frost.
