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

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,

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.

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.

The Ford is my car, I shall not want another.
It maketh me to lie down in muddy roads.
It tireth my soul.
It breaks down in the presence of mine enemies.
It anointest my head with oil, my radiator runneth over.
Truly, if this thing shall follow me all the days of my life,
I shall dwell in the nu, house forever.
