for the changing seasons checking anti freeze levels checking tires replacing windshield wipers there is a very important step some people overlook one that not only protects their investment but also in creases the odds of the car paint job surviving the upcoming winter storms that bring sleet ice snow and dam aging road salt The first step is to wash the car thoroughly It sounds simple but there is one precautionary step to be taken Always use a car wash formulated specifically for auto paint surfaces A household dish washing liquid which is used by more than twothirds of people who wash their own cars will actually promote metal corrosion because of its stronger alkalinity For example Rain Dance Car Wash is a balanced for designed to clean thoroughly yet is safe for automotive use The next step is to apply a new coat Winterizing a car does not necessar ily mean an expensive trip to the auto shop or service station Car owners can actively prolong the life of their invest ment

additives Chemical formulas de signed to eliminate stalling sluggish reduced power decreased mile age knock ping and runon caused by carbon deposits Over time these deposits collect throughout the entire intake system gradually de creasing the engine s ability to function properly The result Poor engine per formance and expensive visits to the shop to have the deposits professional removed which according to me chanics can cost or more While all cars are prone to carbon deposit build up regardless of make model and year todays smaller and more powerful car engines are particu larly sensitive to carbon deposits cspc cially those equipped with fuel tors Fuel iniectors spray the exact amount of fuel needed into each cylin 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 re sulting in poor engine performance An easy fast acting solution is regu lar use of quality fuel additives which are specially formulated to combat de posit build up Simply pouring a fuel additive into the gas tank before fueling once a month or every miles ensures peak performance and reduces time and money spent on maintenance However just as all gasolines arc not created equal neither are fuel lives According to information pub by the Society of Automotive Engineers some gasoline addi tivcs can cause more harm than good because as they break down existing carbon deposits they create and leave new deposits behind Technologically advanced products like Chevron Chemicals new Procare additives are specifically designed to safely break down carbon deposits and remove them from the engine without creating new deposits A special in in these products Chevrons patented Techron gives these additives the power to remove even difficult com chamber deposits safely This innovative chemistry developed in the companys extensive research fa cilmes has faced rigorous testing in what may be a car engine s toughest environ ment the taxi cab After miles of driving with normal maintenance 80 San Diego California taxicabsweredis assembled for inspection in the lab This study confirmed that engines which used additives formulated with Techron had consistently cleaner intake and fuel metering systems than those using other additives These results have caused most for eign and domestic automakers from Audi to Volvo to recommend or ap prove fuel additives with Techron to tight deposit build up As the days get shorter and the tem drops fuel additives can help car owners

flush out the system with a good chemical cleaner According to Car Care Council over heating is often caused by low coolant level Routine maintenance should in elude pressure testing to locate leaks and seepage Other causes of overheating include incorrect ignition timing slipping fan belt or other malfunctions in the fan mechanism faulty thermostat a col lapsed hose or a worn pressure cap
