" Protect your investment Wax your car well Your automobile is one of your biggest investments. Nothing im­ proves the appearance and value of your car more than a shiny new wax job. The problem is the shine and protection never last as long as you wish they would. Even with the basecoat/clear coat paint system used on most domestic and imported automo­ biles, the finish is still susceptible to wear. Normal oxidation and weathering cause the finish to lose itslustre. Newdevelopments in space-age polymer chemistry have produced a new breed of car polish (not wax) that offers better surface protection. The once-a-year car polish, uses a mixture of advanced chemical emulsions to restore a weatherbeaten finish. Independent testing by Cana­ dian Consumer magazine showed thisproducttobelonger lasting than any other car polish or wax tested. In both liquid and past formulations, it was rated number one in the consumer magazine’s testing. More than 25 leading brands were. tested. With any polish, the key to that showroom shine is to start with a clean car. If a car is washed with dishwashing liquid or other soap, Special oils Continued from page 21 forming harmful carbon deposits on the turbo bearings. These deposits can eventually lead to premature failure of the turbo­ charger. “That’swhyspecialturbo oils have been introduced,” Hu­ decki says. “ Vaivoline Turbo V Motor Oil is engineered to take all the heat a turbo can dish out, and provide the highest level of engine protection. ’ FOUR-CYLINDER OILS Presently, about 60 percent of all cars sold have four-cylinder engin­ es tucked beneath their hoods. A typical V-8 engine turns at about 1,500 revolutions and re­ quires about five quarts of motor oil. A four-cylinder engine turns at about 3,000 rpm and its crankcase rhe detergent will leave a thin film that reduces the brilliance of the shine. For best results, use one of^ the special car wash formulations. Even after a good hand-washing your car still isn’t really clean. The thin layer of oxidized paint occa­ sionally needs to be removed with a pre-wax cleaner. Applythepre- wax liquid or paste with a clean soft cotton cloth to prevent tiny scratch­ es on the painted surface. Carpolishescanbeapplied in shade or direct sunlight and require no rubbing or buffing. Apply the polish to the car’s painted surfaces with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Use the liquid sparingly and spread evenly over an area with circular, overlapping motions. Let the polish dry to a haze and wipe off with a clean cloth, frequently changingthe area that comes in contact with the surface of the auto. For extra-long lasting protection, apply a second coat 30 days later. Don’tbe misled by car polish pricing. Total cost is not the best indicator of value. Instead, look at thecostper application. Alarge bottle of low-priced polish may turn out not to be such a bargain if it’s only good for one application. holds only three or four quarts of oil. At the same time, four-cylinder engines must also power a host of accessories, including air condi­ tioning, power steering and high- output alternators. As a result, four-cylinder engines must work harder. That means temperatures in the ring belt area are at least 100 degrees higher than in a six- or eight-cylinder engine. “If you combine all these conditions with a smaller oil sump capacity, oil breakdown and mole­ cular shearing can easily occur,” Hudecki says. To meet the unique lubrication demands of four-cylin­ der engines, new motor oils have been introduced. we guarantee car repairs for life.
