Brasileiro is passionate about cars. Therefore, he always takes care of him with much affection. Keeping it clean is sometimes hard work. One of the parts that receives more care is the windshield. And since most drivers always want to see the windshield clean, they end up putting soap inside the water tank to further enhance the cleaning of the glass. And the question of most drivers is whether they can put any soap in the container. The Auto Notebook listened to automotive experts and the answer was no.
Be careful with the painting
The head of mechanics at Ceará Autos, Patrício Guimarães, says that when the water is finished inside the compartment, the interesting thing is for soap specially indicated for this purpose. The liquid is easily found in automotive accessories stores and is not very expensive.
"It is not recommended to put any soap on. There are unfortunately drivers who use detergents which can be catastrophic for painting the vehicle in contact mainly with the sun. When you put this soap inside the reservoir, it will even clean, but the water will drain into the bodywork and in contact with wind and sun will ruin the painting over time ", he explains.
Patrício Guimarães provides another important tip for you driver. According to the automotive specialist, the driver should pay close attention to the type of liquid that some gas station attendants put in the compartment at the gas stations. Sometimes due to lack of attention, some end up putting other types of liquid which can harm the vehicle's windshield.

Once, a client of ours arrived here at Ceará Autos with the following problem. At a certain gas station, the gas station attendant, instead of putting the correct soap, accidentally put on brake oil. Imagine what happened? The result was that when the driver activated the wiper, the oil ended up basing all the glass, which only came out with enhanced cleaning in the automotive center.
Another one that reinforces care when replacing water and soap in the windshield wiper compartment is the Head of the Gerardo Bastos Workshop, Sérgio Apolinario. According to the specialist, the driver should never use liquid soap, which we know as detergent. The car's paint is very sensitive to this product. In contact with the sun it ends up drying the paint. It even cleans the glass, but it will cause serious problems to the car's painting.
Like Patrício Guimarães da Ceará Autos, Sergio Apolinario recommends liquid soap directed exclusively to this type of task and which can be easily found in automotive stores. Sometimes due to lack of information, the owner of the vehicle ends up using other products. I believe that after this report they will acquire the right product.
