Calendar autumn has recently arrived.

This year the first days of September are delighting us with warmth and sunny weather.

But it is possible that a cold and rainy period will begin soon.

In addition, the leaves should start falling in a few weeks.

In such conditions, certain procedures should not be carried out on the car. However, many drivers ignore this recommendation, causing great harm to the car.

So, what exactly should you not do with your vehicle during the autumn months?

Cleaning the engine

This can be done on warm days. But when it gets colder and the humidity increases, this procedure can no longer be carried out.

The thing is that in such conditions the power unit will take a very long time to dry out. In addition, a lot of moisture can accumulate under the hood.

Treat the body with polish

Performing this action in low air temperatures or before the onset of a cold period is very dangerous.

It is possible that the product will not adhere correctly to the surface of the vehicle.

Remove leaves with windshield wipers

There are literally a couple of weeks left before the period of active shedding of leaf blades by trees begins.

Please note: leaves that end up on the surface of a vehicle (including the windshield) must be removed manually.

Trying to use the wipers for this purpose may result in serious deterioration of the device.
