After the intense winter weather we experienced with blizzard after blizzard, it looks like we’re in for a just as wet spring! A car cover would be a great way to protect your car from water damage. In addition, if a storm is particularly bad with high winds causing tree branches, etc. to be thrown around, a cover could also help so your car doesn’t get scratched!

Summer season is coming and that means gas price inflation. There are ways to get better fuel economy though, here are a few tips:
1. Be sure that your engine is well maintained. If your vehicle fails an emissions test, do not put off the repairs. Fixing these types of problems with your engine can improve fuel economy by 4%.
2. Make sure you are aware of the tire pressure you are supposed to sustain. This information can be found on the inside of your driver’s side door jam. When your tires are at the correct pressure you can improve your fuel economy by around 3%
3. Using the recommended motor oil grade is suggested because this can affect the cars performance. By using the correct oil you can improve your fuel economy by 1-2%
If you keep up with scheduled maintenance and take care of your vehicle – it would be an easy way to save a few dollars this summer.
Start the New Year off with reliable and affordable auto insurance. It would be a heavy financial burden in the event an accident occurs and you are uninsured. Being insured with at least minimal coverage is a wise decision to protect your financial assets.
There are affordable insurance policies like liability plans. For example, if you opt for only liability it will protect you from having to pay for bodily injuries and vehicle damage of the other party, if the accident is deemed your fault. This type of policy will not cover you and your vehicle; however, this is a basic plan that is necessary. Preventative action, like having active insurance, should be taken in order to keep yourself and others safe in 2010.
Winter months create hazardous conditions for driving due to snow and ice so it is necessary for road salt to be distributed for safety. Unfortunately, this can damage your vehicle’s paint and cause rust to the undercarriage. Plan ahead, apply a heavy coat of wax to your vehicle to give an extra layer of protection when expecting a storm. In the event you are unable to avoid driving, or exposing your car to these conditions be sure to wash your vehicle when the salt on the road has dissipated. If you live in an area subject to inclimate weather it would be a good idea to cover your car.
In preparation for wintery conditions it is a smart idea to prepare accordingly to protect the integrity of your paint. By thoroughly washing and waxing your vehicle you will be able to prevent corrosion and rust. If you detail your car before the harsh winter months the maintenance will be significantly easier.
After every snowfall or icy condition that requires salt distribution on the road surfaces, it is essential to wash your car. If the salt is left on the paint of your car it can erode the clear protective layer. By washing your vehicle you will preserve your paint job. Be sure not to neglect your undercarriage. When mud and salt is coated on the undercarriage, rust can occur which decreases the life span of your car. This can affect the performance of your car as well.
Purchasing a car/truck/SUV cover is a good investment for these weather conditions. By covering your vehicle before a snow fall you are preventing pollution from causing damage. If you do not have a garage, especially, covers are an essential tool. When snow lays on that paint job for an extended period of time it will break down the protection layer of the paint. This can cause spots of vulnerability and ultimately result in rust. Car covers will ensure long lasting cars and their paint jobs.
This Winter, remember to protect your vehicle. Prepare according to the weather in your area. Apply wax to the paint for an extra barrier of protection against the elements. Be sure to wash your car after every storm, including the undercarriage, to clean off excess salt and mud. Car covers are a good solution to protect your vehicle in harsh conditions. Follow these tips about protecting your vehicle from Winter weather and preserve the value of your car.
Although we can’t protect your car with an electromagnetic field, we do make great car covers. If you are worried about your car getting stolen, a car cover is a great way to keep it protected. Did you know that taking/ripping the cover off is considered breaking and entering? That’s why covering it can keep people out of your car. We also have cable and lock kits that you can use to lock your cover onto your car, which would make it even harder for someone to get into your car. Buy a cover today and you’ll significantly decrease the chance.
Winter can be a wonderful time filled with holiday cheer and snowflakes. It can also be extremely harsh. Plants, humans, animals, and even cars feel the brunt of winter furry. Although it may not seem like it, Old Man Winter can be incredibly cruel to your vehicle. Aside from ice build up, fluids and hoses can freeze up, not to mention those cold leather seats at 7 am! There are a few precautions one can take in order to help prevent the damage that winter can do.
Most importantly, buy yourself a high quality, weatherproof car cover. We recommend the Empire Waterproof or the Max cover. Both of these covers have high water resistance to block out snow and ice. (Note: In unusual circumstances, a layer of ice may form between your vehicle and the cover. This layer of ice must be thawed before removing your cover. You may expedite this process by pouring warm water over the cover and gently lifting it as the ice begins to melt. If any resistance occurs, repeat the process.) The cover can also be protected against wind by installing grommets that come with it. By tying it down, you can keep fierce winter winds from blowing your cover off.
Keeping your car looking nice isn’t something people do just to attract attention. The process of detailing not only makes your car look great, but protects the paint and ensures that it will continue to look new for years to come. The following list of items are essential to have in order to give your car the care it needs.
If your car is relatively new or has been kept under a quality car cover you can get away with just using:
1. Microfiber towels
2. Black-trim treatment
3. Detailer spray
4. One-step polish or wax
5. Wax applicators
If your car has been neglected you may need items such as:
1. Clay bar
2. Mild polish or pre-wax cleaner
Using these items will ensure that your car is protected and that your finish will look great for years to come.
