The condition in which there is a body of your car, is very important, because its cost depends on it in big degree at resale.

The hidden cavities of a body, such as niches of wheels, a frame and a motor compartment, are also important not less in spite of the fact that they do not demand frequent attention, as other parts of a body.

Once a year, or each 20 000 km, the body bottom by means of steam is very useful to clear. All traces of dirt and oil will be removed, and after this area it will be possible to check on existence of the rust, the damaged brake highways, the worn-out electric wires, the damaged ropes and so on. At the end of this work it is necessary to grease components of a forward suspension bracket.
