Such “stucco molding” freezes and turns into a piece of ice, which can prevent not only the rotation of the wheel, but also its rotation. Moreover, this adhering dirt most likely (and in large cities 100%) contains reagents and salts that can cause permanent damage to the body of your car, as a result of which it will more likely begin to rot and rust from below.
Therefore, it is recommended that the surfaces of the wing liner and sills be cleaned of frost and dirt in a timely manner. Of course, you can often wash the car, but such “surprises” can stick to literally in one trip.
How to prevent sticking?
There is one very good way to protect your car from snow sticking to wings and sills. Somehow, one experienced driver prompted me to him, for which many thanks to him!
Its essence is incredibly simple:
To prevent snow from sticking, it is necessary to treat the wing flaps and sills with silicone grease - from the spray. Or in view of its absence, the WD-40 is perfect.
As a result, a protective film forms on the surface, which prevents the retention of water or snow.
It is necessary to do the treatment on a clean and dry surface! It is recommended to apply grease after washing, as the machine dries. Then after application, you should still wait until the grease has dried, and only then you can go.
Now many car washes provide services for spraying silicone seals on the doors with silicone grease, you can ask them to sprinkle sills and wings. As a matter of fact, I do. My car is where 1-2 times a month, all this time the coating layer is quite acceptable and protects the thresholds with Lockers.
Here is such a sensible, and most importantly 100% working advice! Take and use.
