Top 5 tips for car care in hot climate from DEIZ

Car care is essential in hot climates, as high temperatures, sunlight and dust can have a negative impact on the condition of your vehicle. In order to maintain the original appearance of your car and extend its life, you should follow a few rules.

Regular washing

In hot climates, the car gets dirty quickly due to dust. Therefore, it is important to wash your car regularly with special agents to prevent the accumulation of dirt and damage to the bodywork. It also helps to maintain the attractive appearance of the car and protect it from corrosion.

Sun protection

The sun’s rays can cause serious damage to the car’s paintwork, fading of plastic and interior trim. Therefore, the use of protection is highly recommended. We suggest covering the body with Peelable paint or applying a ceramic composition. Also leave the car under an awning or in a covered garage, parking in places exposed to the sun can lead to paint burnout, overheating of the interior and damage to internal elements of the car. 

Checking fluid levels

This is one of the most important car care habits. In the heat, the engine works hard and consumes fuel and oil faster. Therefore, it is important to regularly check the level of brake, coolant and other fluids to avoid overheating and breakdowns. It is recommended to check these levels every two weeks. On electric cars, it is necessary to monitor the battery heating temperature.

Cleaning the interior

During use, sand from the ventilation system enters the interior of the vehicle. We recommend regular wet cleaning of the interior at least once a month. We also advise you to treat the leather with a ceramic compound to prevent not only sand accumulation in the seats, but also rapid wear and tear. 

Regular maintenance

In hot climates, the car needs more frequent maintenance. Regular inspections, filter changes, brake pads and belt replacements will help prevent unexpected breakdowns. This also includes regular cleaning and maintenance of the air conditioner. The air conditioning system needs to be cleaned and serviced regularly to keep it working effectively. Professional cleaning will help avoid unpleasant odors and ensure proper air circulation. It is recommended to change the filter in the ventilation system every six months.

Following these recommendations will help you prolong the life of your vehicle, keep it looking good and reduce the risk of breakdowns.
