• For repairs. This category is represented by sealants, adhesives, rust converters, auto body fillers, car paint primers, paints and lacquers as well as various equipment used to apply these products. They help to restore the integrity of car assemblies, repair body and interior damages. They are also used for parts mounting.
• For maintenance of assemblies. These include lubricants and additives. They are used to prevent premature wear and tear of various assemblies, for example, bearings, braking mechanisms, constant-velocity joints, friction couples in engines, pumps and other units. They also allow to restore the efficiency of the maintained assemblies.
• For exterior and interior care. This category includes various cleaners, polishes, stain removers, air fresheners, lotions for leather upholstery, anti-fog products for windows and others. They help to maintain cleanliness in a car and keep its exterior and interior intact without any effort.

Besides, automotive chemicals are distinguished by the area of application. There are products for the body, passenger compartment, car bottom, systems, parts and mechanisms.

These products are also divided according to the type of the surface. There are agents for plastic, glass, leather, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, chrome surfaces, paintwork, rubber and vinyl elements.

Features of using automotive chemicals

1. Before using any products for car care, repair or maintenance, study the manufacturer’s instructions very carefully. The succession of steps can vary greatly even when you’re using the products of one and the same category. For example, some chemicals need mixing or diluting before being applied while others are ready-to-use. They also differ in exposure and drying time. The non-observance of the manufacturer’s recommendations can result in failure of the assembly and its costly repairs.
2. Pay your attention to the fact that some automotive chemicals are used on a regular basis while others are used as needed. For example, it is advisable to renew anti-corrosive protection of the bottom and wheel arches two or three times a year. It is also recommended to apply special lubricant to boot lid, bonnet and door rubbers every six months. It is also advisable to polish the body twice a year. Cleaners, stain removers, fillers, primers, paints, adhesives and sealants are used as needed.
3. Always make sure that the product you’re going to apply is compatible with the surface. For example, plastic is solvent-sensitive.
4. Working with flammables, observe the fire safety regulations. In most cases, it is also recommended to use personal protective equipment: goggles, masks, gloves, respirators.
5. Keep automotive chemicals out of reach of children. Any product can contain dangerous ingredients. Keep packs with agents out of direct sunlight as their properties can change. The properties of some products change very quickly, therefore, these chemicals are not suitable for storing and using them later: their leftovers should be discarded.
