- How Does Opti-Guard Leather & Vinyl Work ?
- Opti-Guard Leather & Vinyl penetrates the surface to produce a permanent bond within the material. This is particularly important for leather seats that are subjected to constant wear and abrasion. As the coating soaks deep within the leather, it is resistant to be removed through normal use. Opti-Guard Leather & Vinyl creates a hydrophobic coating with concentrated UV absorbers to protect leather seats and dashboards from premature aging, cracking, and other damage such as color transfer and staining of leather seats.
- Why do most car enthusiasts prefer Paintless Dent removal ?
- Paintless Dent Removal has several key advantages that make traditional body repair obsolete in many respects. Because there is no painting involved, the entire procedure can be done in as little as a few minutes to a few hours, with no worry about matching paint colors or poor quality paint jobs. Because of the quick and easy nature of paintless dent removal, prices tend to be quite reasonable; as little as $100 or less for smaller dents located in easily accessed areas. While traditional methods are still needed for cases where external damage, creasing or exceedingly deep dents are present, for cases showing only mild denting that is free from paint damage, paintless dent removal may be hard to beat. Lower fees, little to no waiting period, and a consistent and commonly achievable success rate are only some of the advantages that paintless dent removal can offer. These reasons alone may make it worth a try the next time you encounter a ding or dent in your vehicle.
- Why is it imperative to keep your car polished ?
- Neglected cars diminish in value, and in extreme situations neglected and unpolished car bodies can negatively affect driving conditions by changing the aerodynamics with deep grooves and uneven surfaces. The proper planning for proper polishing involves removing any bonded contaminants on the surface of your car using detailing clay or tar removers before beginning the actual polishing process to smooth over any defects underneath the surface of the paint. Enhancing the surface gloss of your car keeps it smooth, sleek and new, and car care enthusiasts can’t afford to overlook the necessary maintenance of car polishing

Extreme Summer Heat Can Burn Up Car Batteries
What’s the difference between Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil?- Why does my vehicle even need oil ?
Summer’s extreme temperatures can destroy a vehicle’s battery. The Car Care Council advises vehicle owners to have their cars’ batteries tested periodically and replaced, if necessary, to avoid being stranded.
The myth is that all synthetic oil is purely man-made and not based on oils found in nature. In today’s synthetic oils, crude or natural oil is purified and then structurally modified to produce improved performance.
Today’s motor oils contain base oils and several additives that are carefully blended together. Synthetic base oils may be made from a variety of chemicals and processes that are designed to have excellent performance at extreme temperatures and operating conditions. Select additives are used to improve flow characteristics and lubricating quality in the harshest of conditions. Conventional base oils are refined from crude oil. Additives may also be carefully added to conventional base oils to make quality motor oils as well.
Did you know that some of the moving parts within your engine never really touch? It is true! They ride on a thin film of oil. One of the main functions of oil is to keep these moving parts separated from each other, preventing damage and wear. Another important function of oil is cooling. As the oil circulates it carries away some of the heat generated as a result of the combustion process. When your motor oil level is low it will cause the engine temperature to rise. It is important to check your motor oil level frequently to make sure that this doesn’t occur.
