CleanlinessKeeping things organized, neat, and clean is essential to doing a good job, and a more satisfying way to work. When working under the hood, use fender covers to protect the finish from scratches and other damage. Make sure the car is relatively clean so that dirt under the cover does not scratch. Avoid getting tools or clothing near the battery. Battery electrolyte is a corrosive acid. Be careful with brake fluid. If it comes in contact with paint, it will cause permanent damage. Finally, keep rubber parts such as hoses and belts free from oil or gasoline, as they will cause the material to soften and fail prematurely. |
