Almost any motorist refers to hiscar with tenderness and love. What can we say about the auto-lady! The one who claimed that the car is just a means of transportation was not right. Oh, it's not right! For a real auto-lady, the car is much more. This is the second house, and a loyal friend, and a subject of pride, and often, and the strongest means of stress and all life troubles. But does everyone know how to properly care for a car? Of course, the true auto-lady takes care of her "iron horse" and makes sure that he is always "washed" and "fed". But is everything right? How not to admit annoying mistakes and, ignorance, not to harm your very, very best car in the world?
How not to get trapped?
Sadly, most auto-ladies early orlate fall into a very difficult situation: it is obvious that something is wrong with the car, but what exactly is not clear. And nearby, as evil, there is no one who could help and prompt. What to do in this case? The answer, it would seem, is obvious - go to the car service. There are specialists there. Let them understand. All this is so ... if not a single small problem - unfortunately, many car service employees consider the girl, who is clearly not versed in the car, "a legitimate prey." Without the slightest embarrassment, you can write out a bill for a tidy sum for "cheap" work. How to make sure that you are not being deceived? The answer is quite simple: you must not be too lazy, call in another one or two service stations and compare the results of the diagnosis. Coincidence? Well, then the breakdown is really serious. Nothing can be done - will have to "shell out." And, in general, try regularly, as the manufacturer of your car recommends, to pass maintenance. Then the problems will be much less.
How to "feed" the car?
Strangely enough, a sufficiently large numberauto-ladies are absolutely sure that if they "feed" their "horse" with the best, and therefore the most expensive, with gasoline, then it will start running faster. What do these figures mean - 92, 95, 98? It seems that for many it is no longer a secret - they denote the octane number of gasoline. Most likely, not everyone understands its meaning, but almost everyone knows that the higher the octane number, the more expensive the gasoline. How correctly to look after the car? Does the logic work in this case - the more expensive, the better? Unfortunately no. The quality of gasoline does not affect the speed of movement. But the state of the car affects very seriously. The best "feed" for your car is the one recommended in its operation manual. After all, it is for this gasoline is calculated fuel system of your car. And the best thing that can be done is adhere to these recommendations. There is another problem - dishonest owners and workers of petrol stations. How to insure against them? Alas, you will not be able to check the quality of gasoline at one of the gas stations. Therefore, the only way is to talk with several "avid" car owners and find out which stations they are refueling. Choose two or three "own", proven refueling and try to use only their services. 
How to choose the right replacement parts?
A little earlier or a little later, but all motorists -and the auto-lady is no exception! - faced with the fact that some parts of the car must be replaced. Even if they are as simple as filters or candles. And then sometimes there is a temptation to save a little. Well, in fact, it's something elementary! Maybe you can buy these "little things" cheaper? Buy something, of course, you can. But there is a possibility that because of these "trifles" will suffer already other, much more "serious" and significant details of your car. And then for the repair will have to pay a much larger amount. This is just the case, about which it is customary to say: "the miser pays twice."
How to care for a car?
If you are not sure that you can do the right thingchoice, it is better to ask advice from a more experienced person. And, it is desirable that he was not interested in your additional costs. Or maybe it's time to get your "own" car mechanic? Today, car washes are, literally, everywhere. And this service is quite accessible. Therefore, most people prefer to trust their car professionals. But what kind of sink to choose? All types of car washes can be divided into manual, mechanical and non-contact. What are their differences? The main advantage of hand washing is quality. No machine will do the job the way a person does. All this, of course, is so. If you do not take into account the very notorious "human factor". And the truth is, how can you be sure that the cleaning employee is not a lazy person, not a beginner and not a hacker? True, you can control the process and, if necessary, correct the inexperienced employee. Still in doubt? Then choose automation. In addition to manual, you will most likely be offered a choice of mechanical (contact) or non-contact car washes. What is the difference between these ways? When contact washing the car is washed on a special automated line. First, an auto shampoo is applied to the machine. Then the product is washed off with dirt using brushes that rotate at a very high speed. This method allows you to clean any dirty dirt. But, unfortunately, there is a mechanical sink and a drawback. Despite the fact that the brushes are made of a special soft material, with frequent use of this type of washing, the paint coating of the machine can deteriorate. Non-contact washing has appeared relatively recently. The main difference is that your car will not be rubbed with brushes and sponges. So the appearance of scratches in the washing process is almost impossible. By the way, that's why this method of washing is recommended for cars of dark color. Indeed, even the smallest scratches are very visible on their surface. How's it going? The car is applied foam. This is done with the help of special devices - foam generator or foam gun. Foam is left for 3-4 minutes, and then washed off with clean water, which is fed under high pressure. The whole process takes 10-15 minutes. The problem is that strong, "stale" dirt may not be washed.
Sink "on my own"
If you belong to those motorists whodo not want to trust their beauty to anyone, then there is another - by the way, less expensive - the way to return the car to the "former glory". You can wash it yourself. In principle, nothing complicated. How to take care of a car and what does it need to know? To wash the car you can not use detergent or other detergents - only special car cosmetics. All dirt should be washed off with water - if you wipe the machine with a dry cloth, you can scratch it. Your machine trusts you. She is the best, and therefore worthy of good care. And if you take care of it, it will never fail you at a difficult time.
