What to do for a car owner during the New Year holidays, when feasts are already tired

During the long New Year holidays, when pleasant fatigue from feasts and communication has already passed, you can carve out an evening to enjoy the garage action to your heart's content. Change the scenery, chat with comrades, do something useful for the "iron horse". The AvtoVzglyad portal has prepared several worthy reasons that even wives will understand and accept ...

Frosts are only promised to us so far, and winter tires are already losing their last spikes. We survived Indian summer and Indian autumn, now it's Indian winter. There is no other way to call this snowless and dull, truly October weather outside the window. Even the beautiful half of humanity begins to grumble, because fur coats and other winter accessories in the rain are not comme il faut.

But you can safely put on an old jacket, torn jeans and send it “to the garage” - you won’t freeze. And so that frost does not happen in the “family nest”, the AvtoVzglyad portal has prepared several cases that, in such weather, will take the whole evening. And even not alone. Well, don't watch TV!

Interior cleaning

It's never too late to clean up the interior of your favorite car. Moreover, no one will do this operation better than the owner. So we arm ourselves with rags and sponges, take all the car chemicals from New Year's gifts and go to the garage cooperative. Having thoroughly vacuumed the interior, you can rub the skin and dashboard, work on plastic and polish small scratches, of which there were a lot during preparations for the main Russian celebration. Lay a couple of hours on the trunk - it will take a lot of time to remove all the garbage from the "hold".

Garage cleaning

While it's not cold - the first frosts are promised only at Christmas - you can clean up in the garage itself. Put a marafet on the shelves, throw out the garbage, turn the rubber over so that it doesn’t cake, diagnose the roof for leaks, and just sweep it. Having rolled out the car, walk around the perimeter for smudges - you see, there is something to spend the thirteenth salary on.

Storage system

A warm winter is the time to rethink the shelves and cabinets that make up the majority of your garage. Are they necessary, these old kitchen sets, or can they be safely thrown away, replaced with more convenient and compact shelves? To make a tree out of wood or find a sober welder who wants to earn some money to "continue the banquet"?

This process has a much more important side: during analysis and reflection, you can throw away most of the garbage that has been stored in the garage since the Brezhnev era. Dried paints and brushes, broken tools and assemblies, to which hands have not reached and will never reach, old equipment that has long outlived its age. The place for this rubbish is in the garbage.

Summer tire inspection

Winter is the best time to buy summer tires. Prices after the New Year will be the most loyal, many new items for the 2020 season will already go on sale, and sellers will give away models from previous years at a big discount. So it’s better to inspect and make a decision on vacation - then it will be more expensive.

Polishing

The weather is humid, but not cold, so you can safely polish the headlights and minor scratches. In this case, the absence of dust and direct sunlight is important, and the positive temperature - everything you need, as they say, is there. You can start. On the occasion of the holidays, you should fork out not only for a new bottle of polish, but also for a new sponge - during the "rest" the old one has dried up and is unlikely to contribute to inducing a marafet.

…This is just a small part of the things that can and should be done during the long winter holidays, which, judging by the forecasts, will take place in warm weather. At home, of course, it’s good, but you can go crazy for 9 days in the “four walls”: give yourself and your loved ones some space. I'm sure they won't mind too much.
