8/1/10Why do I need to condition my leather seats?

Leather experts suggest conditioning every one to three months. Conditioning nourishes the leather with appropriate lubricants to keep internal fibers soft and flexible. Under a microscope, leather fibers look like a pile of tangled rope. Without regular conditioning or lubricating, the “tangles” can’t yield to pressure and literally will break.

7/1/10How Do I Know When My Car Needs A Clay Treatment?

After you wash and dry your car, run the palm and fingertips of your clean hand across the top surfaces. Don't be surprised if what you feel is rough and bumpy. The roughness you feel is the presence of harmful environmental bonded contaminants such as over-spay, fallout, brake dust, tree sap mist and more that have bonded to your paint finish. Most of these contaminants will wash right off if immediately addressed, however, others bond to the finish and week by week, if not dealt with, will gradually mask and blur the reflection. To remove these bonded contaminants and bring back that "smooth-as-glass" finish, this will require an extra step, prior to polishing and waxing, commonly referred to as "claying". By doing this, your car will not only feel incredible, it will ensure the wax that you apply will be able to function properly. (Source: Meguiars.com)

6/1/10Why must I wax my car's paint so often?

Your car is being constantly bombarded by contaminants each and everyday. All of these contaminants take a toll on your car's paint if the finish is not frequently washed and waxed. Imagine what would happen if you only brushed your teeth once a year. The buildup could lead to costly dental repairs. And your teeth might never look as good as they did before. Your car's paint is constantly exposed to the elements and needs regular care to keep it looking its best at all times. If you neglect your car's finish for a long enough time, a quality repaint could easily cost $4,000. If you decide to sell your vehicle without a new paint job, it could cost you anywhere from $500 to $5,000 in lost trade-in value, depending upon the age and type of automobile you have.
