It often happens that in the operation of the internal combustion engine, interruptions occur: it is difficult to start, it works unstable at idle, often "sneezes" and produces black smoke. An experienced motorist immediately pay attention to the ignition system, in particular to work with candles. One of the most common problems with candles is the appearance of black nagar. There are different ways to clean.
1
Steel brush. Many car enthusiasts prefer to clean the spark plugs with knife, screwdrivers, sandpaper, seer, etc. It can not be done! Acute items scratched the insulator. Even if they do not bring it out of order, it will significantly reduce the time designed to operate candles. If a lightweight nagar was formed on the candlelight, it is preferable to use a soft brush from thin steel wire, as well as plates of wood or plastic.
2
Powder. You will need any abrasive powder and an old toothbrush. Try to find a brush with a fairly rigid bristle. Water it with water, dip in powder and clean the candle. So that it is not damaged, carry out smooth movements and do not press too much. At the end, wash the powder along with the residues of the mud. Well dried cleaning candles and use them again in operation.
3
Chemicals. Perhaps this method can be called the easiest and most effective. Cleaning can be produced by various gels and cleaning agents that apply in the kitchen. The main condition so that the gel contains caustic soda. You can purchase a simple tool for cleaning from plaque and rust. For degreasing, wipe the candle with gasoline and dry. Then pour the cleaning agent into the glass and place the candle there (side with the formation of a car) for 60 minutes. After treatment with a well-rinse with water and wipe with a clean cloth. They will again be like new.

Annealing over the flame burner. Enough to hold the candle over the flame of the burner or gas stove 10-15 minutes. The fire should not touch the ceramic shirt. As a result, the remains of gasoline and soft nagar burned down. The remaining soot just squabble and pour out. After this procedure, the candle will be clean again. Many motorists are in no hurry to use this way due to fear damage the candle. In addition, there is a more modern and safe alternative for candles.

HUNDRED. If you do not want to clean the candles yourself, contact one of the maintenance stations. They use several ways to clean:
Ultrasound. Candles with nagar are lowered into a special water capacity through which the ultrasound is subsequently carried out. For 10-15 minutes, all spark plugs are cleaned almost from any nagar. The only drawback is the high cost of cleaning.
Sandblasting method. Cleaning is carried out with the help of a powerful jet of sand, which flies out of a special high pressure nozzle. Literally after 10 minutes, the spark plugs will again become suitable. Not every hundred has such a device.

The service life of the candles. Spark plugs must be cleaned from time to time and adjust the clearance. If you regularly exploit your car, carry out cleaning every 10,000-15.000 km of mileage. If the annual mileage does not exceed the figures described, clean the candles twice a year - on the eve of June and December, when climate change occurs. But it is impossible to clean the cleaning forever. The standard service life of the candles corresponds to 25.000-35.000 km of mileage. Then they will have to replace them.
To clean the candles, you can choose any of the above options. The simplest, safe and effective way is chemical. The use of sandblasting apparatus and ultrasound is also very effective, but expensive. Moreover, the drivers themselves can easily cope with cleaning at home.
Cool, well done author. But methods of cleaning candles are not all. When I was the happily owner of the first of my car -Moskvich, I cleaned a hundred times a month with a special sandblasting machine for cleaning the spark plugs. The result was always hit. True, if you clean a lot and very long, the contact becomes much thinner.
