The vinyl and leather that covers your cars seats, dashboard and door panels is subjected to the natural weathering process just like the paint and finish. Therefore, its important to pay attention to your cars interior and provide it with the proper care. Winter weather conditions can make vinyl and leather brittle and cause them to crack. Mud, sand, salt, snow and rain dull shine and scratch a car just as easily on the inside as on the outside. Caring for your cars interior with a vinyl protectant, which can be found in the automotive section of most discount stores, is inexpensive and simple. Just a few minutes of work each month can add years to the life of your cars vinyl and finished leather, increase its resale value, and keep it looking sharp throughout the year. Dirt that builds up as result of normal daily activity should be removed before a vinyl protectant is applied. Spray any area of your car that is exposed, even the tires and bumpers. Then, wipe away the solution with a soft cloth. A vinyl protectant also provides a buffer zone between vinyl and potentially damaging elements that can wear down and scratch the interior. In addition, it brings out color, restores luster and helps prevent drying that leads to unsightly cracks in vinyl. The best way to maintain a new car shine is to start using a vinyl protectant when the car is new. Dont fret if the car is few years old; a vinyl protectant can still be effective even if deterioration and scratches have already set in. Automotive experts believe that by treating your car with a vinyl protectant only once a month will dramatically increase the cars resale value.

Car owners can actively prolong the life of their investment and avoid skyrocketing repair costs this winter by taking advantage of one simple, effective tip for personally maintaining their cars peak performance. g This upkeep tip is to use fuel additives: chemical formulas designed to eliminate tough starts, stalling, sluggishness, reduced power, decreased gas mileage, knock, ping and run-o- n (dieseling) caused by carbon deposits. Over time, these deposits collect throughout the entire intake system, gradually decreasing the engines ability to function properly. The result: poor engine performance and expensive visits to the shop to have the deposits professionally removed which, according to mechanics, can cost $350 or more. While all cars are prone to carbon deposit build-u- p regardless of make, model and year, todays smaller and more powerful car engines are particularly sensitive to carbon deposits, especially those equipped with fuel injectors. Fuel injectors spray the exact amount of fuel needed into each cylinder through tiny orifices to deliver maximum performance. Because these openings are so small less than the width of a human hair even small deposits can clog the fuel injectors, resulting in poor engine performance. drive Hal's Pinstriping 1620 N.
