Have Car Checked Before
Traveling Takes Its Toll

Before you take to the
roads this summer and head
off to your favorite vacation
Spot, make sure your car
has been checked closely. A
breakdown can make your
time away much more
expensive and a lot less fun.

An important part of vehi-
cle safety is “roadability” or
“ride control,” the ability to
hold the road when comer-
ing or maneuvering in traf-
fic at-high speeds. This is
especially important when
you're driving with your
loved ones.

To have the best control,
the car’s tires must stay in
firm contact with the road,
which means. having tight
Steering and suspension,
strong shock absorbers and
Struts, and good tires. Have
your shocks and struts
inspected to make sure they
are properly aligned and in
good condition. Check tire
pressure to make sure each
tire is at the recommended
level. Not only will underin-
flated tires reduce ride per-
formance and handling, but
they also will decrease your

The braking system is the

utable source. Don’t skimp
on your family’s safety.

When you're on the high-
way, the last thing you want
is your car to over-heat and
the engine light to go on.
Overheating can cause seri-
ous damage to cylinder
heads and is a leading cause
of mechanical breakdown.
To save yourself expensive
repair bills, have your vehi-
cle’s cooling system —
especially the thermostat,
hoses and radiator pressure
cap — checked.

Nighttime driving in an
unfamiliar area is difficult.
With rain and smearing,
streaking windshield

_ wipers, you’re putting your-

self and your family in a
potentially dangerous situa-
tion. If your car’s wind-
shield wipers aren’t
clearing the window proper-
ly, replace them before
leaving for vacation. Make
sure you buy the right type
and size, and know how to
them. Read the
instructions on the package
before leaving the store,
and if you don’t understand,
as a salesperson questions.
Have your car checked
before you go on vacation,
and you can help prevent
expensive mishaps. You’ll
also have one less thing to
worry about, making your
road trip even more enjoyable.

May Is Car Care Month

Your Car Deserves A Breath of Fresh Air

The freshness of spring may be here, but fresh air probably
hasn’t entered your car in months. Odds are that all the

months of food, smoke, pets

and that “indescribable” some-

thing the kids left under the seat have left a lingering odor in

your car, especially when yo

u consider that the car window

hasn’t been open mvch this winter.
The good news is that today, more than ever before, there

are a variety of ways to help

you take care of problem odors

in your car and elsewhere. Products today not only cover up
with their own pleasant fragrance, they can actually make
them vanish. There are even 100-percent-natural products for

the environmentally minded.

MAKING
VANISH

ODORS

A relatively new approach to odor elimination is the
Odor Gun. This is an advanced, unscented, professional
Strength spray, that deactivates, or eliminates, odors, mak-

When Should

From the time when an
automobile is first transport-
ed to the dealer, metalic rail-
road dust, road grime, tar oil,
bugs, salt, acid rain and
countless other elements all
take their toll on a car's deli-
cate finish.

We usually think of wash-
ing the car only in the winter
to prevent corrosion caused
by winter salt, but did you
know that immediately after
a rainfall is one of the most
critical times to wash your
car? That's right, even the
lightest shower could cause
irreparable acid rain damage
to your vehicle's beautiful
finish, if not quickly cleaned
at a professional car wash.

“Acid rain damage is
caused when high concen-
trations of emissions from
fossil-fuel-burning engines
or plants react with your
car's paint to form sulfuric
and nitric acids,” says Dan
Palenske, president of the
International Carwash Asso-

Guaranteed

ciation (ICA). He adds,
“The result of this process is
the penetration and etching
of clear-coat finishes, whose
protective qualities will then
eventually corrode, expos-
ing the paint to many harm-

ful, corrosive elements. A
car with bad acid rain dam-
age could be devalued by up
to $1,000 at trade-in or

_ Tesale time.”

Although you can't prevent
acid rain, you can keep it
from ruining your car's finish
by removing it as soon as
possible at a professional car
wash, advises Palenske.

New cars are treated with
what's known as a “clear-
coat finish,” which is noth-
ing more than a layer of
paint without color pigment.
Palenske likens this to sun-
screens that protect your skin
to the sun's harmful rays, if
the clear-coat finish is dam-
aged by acid rain, it can no
longer prtect the car's paint-
ed finish.

ing them vanish.

Instead of covering up your car’s smells, this process chem-
ically combines with odors, releasing oxygen-molecules and
leaving fresh air in its wake. It is non-toxic, nonallergenic and
safe to use around people, pets and food. As a matter of fact,
its use extends beyond the car to the home.

ALL-
NATURAL

An exciting, new development is the use of all-natural prod-
ucts to eliminate odors. Ironically, these all-natural solutions
are quite powerful, including one of nature’s most potent
cleaners — citrus.

For example, a product such as Ultra-Citrus, which comes
in a non-aerosol spray, is made from 100-percent-pure, natu-
ral citrus extracts. Although its fresh fragrance leaves you
car smelling like your have walked into an orange grove,

DECORATIVE AIR
FRESHENERS

Finally, there are the “paper” air fresheners that come in a
variety of fragrances. One line, Ultra Norsk by Medo, has a
decorative “leaf” shape and comes in many dazzling colors to
enhance your car’s interior. It is versatile and designed to
hang from any number of spots in your car.

The fresh fragrance is emitted continuously for more than
a month. When the “leaf” is finished, just hang up a new
one. They are not only great-smelling and great-looking,
they are inexpensive.

The one thing these three odor solutions have in common is
that they are easy to use and easy to find. Just look in the car
section of your local discount store or drugstore, of in automo-
tive stores or car washes, and let springtime into your car’s life.
