Regular Car Maintenance

Take care of your car and it will take care of you. Just like the majority of mechanical items, regular maintenance is needed to keep a car running smoothly and safely. If a vehicle is well cared for and regularly maintained, the car has a drastically lower risk of a mechanical failure resulting in a car accident.

By performing the following "spot checks" every month, you can keep your car in good working order:


Every Month - Oil level, hoses, belts, tire pressure, coolant, air filter
Every 3 Months - Oil change, oil filter, windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, battery life, battery cables
Every 6 Months - Wiper blades, all exterior lights, horn, breaks, spare tire, exhaust system, shock absorbers

It is important to check the particular needs of a vehicle. A detailed checklist of regular car maintenance for most vehicles can be found online. A mechanic will also provide you with information on what services they performed and when they performed them, making it easier to stay on top of this important checklist.

Adhering to this maintenance list will have two major benefits. First, it will save money. People who do not change their oil frequently are being financially irresponsible. A fast, cheap oil change is much less expensive than having to purchase a new engine.

The second benefit is it may prevent an accident. Brakes should be checked every 3 months. If a person fails to do this, their brakes may unexpectedly stop working. Not only is this putting a driver at risk of injury, it also endangers the lives of all others around them. Financially, this may take a toll. The irresponsible car owner will have to pay their deductible. They will consequently see a rise in their insurance rates.

Ultimate Fighting audition

Whitman native Eric Magee, Marshfield native Eric Foley and Holbrook native Matt Johnson took the day off of work, packed into a car and drove to the Sheraton Hotel in Boston to take a stab at a one-of-a-kind audition last week. The Ultimate Fighting Championship in town to assess fighters for its popular Spike TV reality show "The Ultimate Fighter," a tournament-style show in its seventh season where 16 fighters from across the country room together and fight each other in pursuit of a contract with the UFC, the leading organization in the sport. "I have no idea how this is going to go to be honest with you," said Magee shortly after arriving at the hotel and being assigned a number. "I don't care. I'm just going to go in there and do my thing like I always do. I go in there, overpower guys, try to get on top, get good position and pound their face in for the win . . . I'll take any opportunity to try to get discovered. Do what I got to do." Contestants had the chance to grapple, kickbox and interview before UFC President Dana White and Spike TV producers. Hundreds of fighters turned out, and many went to great lengths to leave an impression. www.patriotledger.com

Taking Care of Your Petrol Or Diesel Turbo Car

Installing a turbo kit in your car will indeed add to its value but what good does it get if after a week of installing the kit, it breaks down? Turbochargers are there for the main reason that you want a faster and more efficient car. These turbo kits are costly and you do not want them to be breaking down on you, not because of factory defect, but because of personal neglect by the car's owner, also known as you.

There are ways and tips to follow in order to keep your turbo car in tip top shape. A healthy turbo has enough oil for lubrication and cooling. When thinking of a turbo car, oil is probably the most important factor that can affect the way your turbo operates. Regarding oil issues, you have to take note to use only synthetic oil for your engine. The reason for this is because these oils are undeniably better at withstanding thermal breakdown. Of course this is important as you already know that turbo engines have the tendency to operate at very high heat. Oil change for turbo cars must be done every 2500-3000 miles as oil breaks down and get dirty fast. Another important thing to do is to check the oil level often since the engine is exposed to a lot of strenuous conditions, pressure and excess heat. Also, you have to remember to let the oil cool down before turning off your car. You can do this by letting the car stay idle for a period of time. This is done to avoid damage to the turbo bearings and oil lines. Still in connection to the importance of oil, make sure that the turbo bearings are well lubricated before starting the engine especially after an oil change.

The tips mentioned above are the most common advice that are to be followed when maintaining a turbo car, but there are a lot of supplementary advice that can also be used to maximize the performance and lengthen the life of your turbo car. First, is to make sure that the wastegate signaling hose is not hardened or cracked. Another tip is to make sure that the throttle position sensor (TPS) is working properly. Cleaning the throttle body is also a way of maintaining your turbo car. It is advisable to clean the throttle body every 30,000 miles. To help maintain your turbo car, make sure that the tires do not go bald because it will have a deteriorating effect on the suspension. Especially that you have a high powered turbo car, you do not want to go through potholes and fall hard because of poor tires and suspensions. Changing the air filter every 10,000 miles will contribute to your car's maximum performance. The timing belt also has to be replaced every 40,000 miles for optimum turbo performance. More importantly is to make sure that your turbo system and your car stays cool and one way to do this is putting a switch in line with the air conditioning fan for you to use in bad traffic or in long drives.

There are a lot to consider when maintaining a turbo car, which is just right since a turbo car needs special attention as it is not like any ordinary car. A turbo car is engineered to excellence that is why maintenance is very important to preserve its performance.

Basic DIY Guide to Car Maintenance

Driving a car brings lots of convenience to the user, and beyond the selection and buying of a car, we also have to take care of the car and maintain it in good condition so that it will continue to serve us well for at least the next 5 to 10 years.

Today, I will be sharing with you the Basic DIY Guide to Car Maintenance and how you can also do it yourself and save the time and cost spent going to car mechanics!!

BASIC GUIDE TO DIY CAR MAINTENANCE

The first thing to do is to look under the car hood. It looks like a maze, isn't it? Essentially lying underneath that is the fuel system, ignition system, and the cooling system.

We are not going into details on how all these system works. Instead, we will look at how we can perform the simple weekly check on the car and what are the items to look out for when doing so.

DIY CAR MAINTENANCE - Items to look out for

1) Fluids

- Engine Oil fluids

- Coolant fluids

- Windshield fluids

- Washer fluids

- Brake fluids

- Power steering fluids

2) Car tire pressure

DIY CAR MAINTENANCE (1a) - Engine Oil Fluids

TIP: Always check the oil level when the engine has been turned off for an extended period to avoid hot oil from scalding yourself.

Purpose of Engine Oil fluids:

To lubricate the car engine parts and to prevent wear out.

Steps to follow:

1. Wipe the engine oil dipstick clean which is provided by the manufacturer

2. Insert the dipstick into engine, then pull up and check the level. If the top edge of the oil is above the ADD mark, the oil level is acceptable, else you need to add oil immediately. Typically amount required is one quart of oil.

3. To add oil, open the engine oil cap, place a funnel over the opening, and slowly pour the oil into it.

4. Wait for a few minutes and then recheck the oil level to ensure that the oil level is now within the "ADD" and "FULL" marks. Be careful not to add oil beyond the full mark as it will reduce the oil's lubrication qualities and prove less effective.

DIY CAR MAINTENANCE (1b) - Coolant Fluids

Purpose of Coolant Fluids:

Circulates throughout car engine to remove excess heat. Comprises of a mixture of antifreeze fluid and water, which collects the heat and and brings it to the radiator where air flow cools the liquid before returning back to cool the engine.

Steps to follow:

1) Ensure both engine and radiator are cooled down before checking coolant level.

2) Locate the radiator, and the corresponding coolant reserve tank which is holding the top layer of coolant from the radiator. Check and ensure that the coolant level is within the lowest and maximum levels.

3) When the need to top-up arises, turn the radiator cap counterclockwise by 1 quarter turn to release any built-up pressure remaining in the cooling system, before turning all the way to open the cap.

4) Add coolant as required until level is within the min and max marks.

5) Replace cap and do a basic clean up.

DIY CAR MAINTENANCE (1c) - Windshield Fluids

Purpose of Windshield fluids:

To clean the wind screen as required.

Steps to follow:

1) Locate the windshield washer fluid reservoir. It appears like a white plastic milk jug or jar and hold a small quantity of the windshield fluids.

2) In most cases, you can do a visual inspection of the fluid level, and as long as it is an inch or two below the top, it is considered full, and do not require topping up.

3) If it is too low, simply unscrew the cap and top it up with commercial windshield washer fluid or create your very own diy windshield fluid by adding few drops of dish washing detergent to water.

4) Replace cap and do a basic clean up.

DIY CAR MAINTENANCE (1d) - Brake Fluids

Purpose of brake fluids:

Supports the hydraulic systems which enable the brake systems to function properly.

Steps to follow:

1) Locate the master brake cylinder

2) Clean the top of the reservoir before removing the cover with a wrench

3) Check and ensure that the brake fluid is up to the "FULL" mark. Do not compromise as this is a critical factor in car safety.

4) Top up with the brake fluid through a funnel carefully until the level is about one quarter inch below the top.

Note:

Brake fluids have different grades, so it is advisable to check the owner manuals for specific requirements.

Don't let the brake fluid touch on the car paint, you will be in for a nasty surprise.

5) Replace and tighten the cap when done.

DIY CAR MAINTENANCE (1e) - Power Steering Fluids

Purpose of Power Steering Fluids:

Required for cars enabled with power steering capability, without which it is very difficult to turn the steering wheel.

Steps to follow:

1) Locate the power steering reservoir

2) Remove the cap of the reservoir and check the current fluid level.

TIP: Perform the check only when the engine is cool, else the readings will be inaccurate since the fluid expands when hot.

3) Top up the power steering fluid as specified in the car owner manuals, and be careful not to overfill it.

4) Replace and tighten the cap when done.

DIY CAR MAINTENANCE (2) - Car Tyre Pressure Check

Purpose of Tire Pressure Check:

Regular pressure checks will help to maximize the lifespan of the tires since the wrong pressures can cause over contact with the roads reducing the lifespan, or under contact with the road causing safety issues. Under-inflated tires will also reduce fuel economy resulting in higher costs unknowingly.

Steps to follow:

1) Find out the recommended tire pressures required from the car manuals, measured in psi.

2) For ease of checking, go to any gas station, and insert their tire pressure gauge into your car tire valve stem. Push it until you hear a rush of air, and then release it. Observe the pressure reading immediately on the tire gauge machine.

3) If air pressure is not enough, add air with the air line, and double check pressure when done. If air pressure is too high, release a bit of air with the tire gauge and double check before releasing more air.

4) Replace the valve stem cap when done.

5) Repeat for all tires.

TIP: It is good to also perform a quick check on the tire for any wear and tear and replace early for better car safety.

Conclusion

To summarize, through better understanding on the essential items to look out for during your routine car maintenance, and steps to follow during maintenance, you are now able to keep your car in tiptop performance at all times, and maximize the enjoyment of the car rides for yourself and your family.

Lengthening Your Vehicle's Life Span

If you own a per-owned vehicles you want to do what you can to lengthen its lifespan. If you're planning on eventually reselling it you should take special care to keep the interior and exterior in good condition.

Aside from thinking about the potential for resale, it's good to keep your car in good condition for your own enjoyment. Here's some more information about keeping your car looking its best.

The first rule is to handle your car with care. Always use touchless car washes if possible. Avoid using automatic car washes with brushes. The brushes can be hard on your paint finish. Wash it yourself if you can and use clean sponges that are free from debris. Be sure to keep your car free from scratches. Scratches will ruin your paint job and make your care look shabby. Another good idea is to store your vehicle under cover. It will protect its exterior. A garage or car port is best. If you regularly park your car outdoors it will be exposed to the elements and face damage from the sun, hail and snow. Do your best to keep your car waxed. A good coat of wax will help possible contaminants to slide right off the finish. It makes it hard for bugs, reside and dirt to adhere to your finish. It will also make your car better protected against sun damage.

If you can afford it, get your car detailed periodically. Treat your car with care. Some people recommend getting a car detailed once every few months with special attention paid to leather dashboards, seats, carpeting and other special features. Whether new or used, your car is your ride and represents you. Take good care of it inside and out and you won't regret it. It will look better and last long the more attention you give it.

Car Maintenance Schedule - Get Rid of Car Payments For Good With This Car Maintenance Checklist

If you want to keep your current vehicle running in good shape for a long time, you need to read and follow the following three tips.


Get familiar with your car's recommended/required maintenance and upkeep.
Never ever skip or scrimp on your car maintenance.
Remember, maintaining your car is a lot cheaper than buying a new one
Second to owning a home, owning a vehicle is one of our most costly living expenses. Almost all of us are trying to keep our costs of living down, and especially in today's economic climate, keeping your current vehicle running in good shape makes good economic sense. Remember, car payments are not a necessity! Keep your current car running and you'll save a lot of money because maintaining your current car is a lot cheaper than buying a new one. And, following a good car maintenance schedule will definitely help your vehicle last as long as possible.

Most cars would last a lot longer if people would just maintain them, and good car care is not that hard. It may take some initial work and money to get your car maintenance on track, but remember, it's a lot more expensive to replace a blown motor, or having your car nickel and dime you to death because of lack of maintenance.

Following a car maintenance checklist is always cheaper than buying a new car! So, let's look at a sample of a typical car maintenance schedule.

Change your oil as a rule every three months, or three thousand miles, whichever comes first.

Rotate and balance tires along with a battery check every 7,500 miles or 6 months.

Now, in addition to the ongoing maintenance listed above, you're going to need to maintenance the following filters once a year, or every 15,000 miles:

Transmission, Air, Fuel, and Carbon canister filter. You should also look into having the transmission flushed and the PCV and breather element replaced. Finish up with servicing the brakes and checking your battery and your yearly maintenance will be complete.

For every two years, or thirty thousand miles you'll need to add having the coolant and brake fluids flushed out and replaced, change the distributor cap, wires, and rotor, change spark plugs, and change the differential or transfer case fluid in addition to the yearly list:

Finally, for long term maintenance, you'll need to add the following maintenance activities every five years, or sixty thousand miles in addition to the regular, yearly, and every two year maintenance duties: flush and replace power steering and change timing belt.

Perform this car maintenance schedule regularly and you're sure to keep your car running in tip-top shape.

Natural Healing - Anxiety - When You Care Too Much

If you've ever experienced anxiety, perhaps you can to relate to the place a reader was coming from recently when she asked me this question. "When I looked up anxiety in the dictionary, they said it was a synonym for care. What's going on with that?"

When you care for someone, isn't that supposed to be a good thing? And isn't anxiety, most of the time, rather undesirable? So what's the deal anyway?

Perhaps you're familiar with Dr. Edward Bach, who developed the Bach Flower Essences back in the 1930's. Dr. Bach was known as a "sensitive." He had the ability to feel energy. One of the first things he noticed, upon becoming a doctor, was that a lot of his patients with similar illnesses also had similar personalities. This was a big clue!

Dr. Bach began to reason that if he could help his patients correct the natural imbalances in their personalities, perhaps their health would improve. He was one of the real pioneers in the field we know today as energy medicine.

Each of us, as living beings, has our own set of unique vibrations. Dr. Bach was able to perceive differences in the vibrations of people with particular energy imbalances. In addition, he was also able to perceive vibrations of the "opposing virtue" in plants. His form of practice was to bring together each major type of personality or energy imbalance and the vibration of its opposing virtue, thus bringing the person back to balance and health.

Bach Flower Essences and Anxiety

One of the real geniuses of the Bach Flower Essences is their arrangement into categories. Understanding the origin of a particular undesired feeling can go a long way toward correcting it, and Dr. Bach really shines in this department. There are two main categories with remedies to help resolve the imbalances of anxiety.

First is in the area of "Overcare for others' welfare." Individual remedies aside, the category itself tells us a lot. When a person cares too much, imbalance occurs. Of the remedies in this category, the indications for use range from...

perfectionistic in their expectations for others (they are just trying to help the loved one avoid embarrassing mistakes) to
over-zealous (they've found this great gadget and you've just gotta have one) to

bossy (they're gonna make you do it if it kills them ... and you) to
easily offended, possessive, and clingy (they just wanna be loved and they give too much, hoping you will give even more back) to
perfectionistic in their expectations for themselves (they think they're being "very good;" in reality, they're self-centered and way too hard on themselves).

While it may be difficult for a person to see the self in the short indications as they're listed, placing them in the context of overcare for others softens the blow a little. Dr. Bach was gentle and compassionate in addition to being quite insightful.

The remedies themselves all represent a positive vibration. Chickory, the remedy that fits an anxiety profile best and fourth on our list above, is indicated for people who may feel great inner loneliness; lacking in self-love and real purpose. It supports developing a secure base of abundance and selflessness, and the quality of maternal and fraternal selfless love. Doesn't that feel better? Can you get that selfless love just might be an antidote for anxiety? Pretty good, isn't he?

The truth is, though, that any of the remedies listed under this category could be effective as an antidote for anxiety, depending upon its cause in the individual.

The second area that bears upon a person with anxiety is "Oversensitivity to the influences and ideas of others." Like the "Overcare" category, any of the remedies in this group could easily fit for a person experiencing anxiety. The clearest match, though, is the remedy Centaury.

The indication for use of Centaury describes a person who consistently places the needs of others ahead of their own, not out of true choice, but because they want to please. This makes the person easy to manipulate and exploit, and they often run amok in their own lives as a result.

After all, we are each born with a native instinct for self-preservation. When the compulsion to please others exceeds a person's self-preservation instinct, wouldn't that be a pretty clear cause for anxiety? It's an impossible dilemma! Centaury brings to the table the qualities of discrimination, self-realization, willpower, and strength. All of which does sound preferable!

Anxiety and care ... quite literally

There is, of course, another use of the word "care" in the dictionary. As an example, a person might say that they "care" about keeping their job. Naturally, if they care a lot about keeping their job, the person could become anxious. Personally, I tend to think that this is an example of overcare (or possibly fear, a further category of the Bach Essences), which throws us right back into Dr. Bach's remedies. But I certainly hold space for other opinions.

The bottom line is that balance rules the day. If you'd like to learn more about Dr. Bach, his little book Heal Thyself is a quick and easy read.

Automotive Detailing; Cragar Car Care Products

We have been trying out Cragar car care detail products for our team. We have looked at the Premium FX Series. We tried the Speed Brite - Total Wheel Cleaner and the Tire Black on an NASCAR Truck and Trailer, both worked out fine and they kept up with other similar retail off the shelf products and could be considered very good second tier products for professional detailers and first tier for off the shelf automotive cleaning and detailing products for Do It Yourself car owners.

The Speed Brite total wheel cleaner worked as good as Auto Magic Brand’s EZ White whitewall cleaner on the alloy and chrome wheels, but we do not recommend it for polished aluminum Alcoa or specialty rims or on Plastic Coated wheel logo caps or wheels. By the way all these products can be further reviewed at

[http://www.cragarcarcare.com] .

Cragar Spray Gloss Super Shine sounds fancy and can hold it’s own against the Meguiars brand they sell at Wal-Mart, but did not do as good against the Boat and Marine Spray Wax from Meguiars Marine Catalog. We used some on the hood of the Blitzmobile;

http://www.carwashguys.com/blitz.html

as well as on the hood of a passer bye who wondered who are those guys and what are they doing in that parking lot at the CES Show between seminars? We believe in Cragar’s motto for their Premium FX Series Products and that is “Superior Engineering Superior Results” and so we put their newest product the Brake Dust Barrier – Wheel Surface Protectant to work. The product worked great but we did not see the need for two products and we prefer one to do both jobs, for instance able to get into the spider web style BMW rims like on the 2002 BMW or the 3.18 BMW and remove and neutralize and clean off brake dust. Also using a pressure washer the product is not necessary for our team as the current products we use are fine. But the stuff did work well. We enjoyed it as we are moving away completely from any kind of acid to clean rims, for environmental reasons of the EPA and NPDES Permitting, but also due to possible lawsuits from workers and OSHA Standards mandated by some bureaucracy chief somewhere under some rock?

[http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0703/0000004b.htm] .

We really enjoyed the Rain Repel – Glass Treatment and found it to be nearly as good as a Hydrophobic window treatment or a coat of Rain-X although it lasted almost as long as Rain-X it is also half the price.

I hope you have enjoyed this weeks Retail Product test and Automotive Detailing Product Review for Cragar Premium FX Series Car Care Products, because it is expensive for us to go buy this stuff off the shelf at retail to bring this data to our Do It Yourself clientele.

Why Car Maintenance is Important

Car maintenance is usually not one of our favourite activities in life. Most of the time, when using our vehicles, we take for granted that they are in a proper driving condition and sometimes can forget the importance of keeping them well maintained. Vehicles require general and routine maintenance over time and emergency repairs may be needed if you have an accident or if something goes wrong when you're driving. General car maintenance can help to prevent the latter by ensuring that your car is in optimal driving condition at all times. A well maintained car may also mean you're less likely to claim on your car insurance, potentially resulting in lower premiums over time.

Among the general car maintenance tips, getting regular oil changes at the appropriate period of time or usage is at the top of the list of importance. Many people forget when the time comes to get an oil change. Regular oil changes can help ensure that your car runs efficiently and that your engine is well maintained. Old oil or not enough oil in your vehicle can lead to overheating of the engine or other major engine and motor problems that can be expensive to fix. It can also affect air flow and other operational areas that make your driving experience pleasant and safe.

Tyres

Even people that do remember to get regular oil changes might forget to periodically rotate tyres. It's a good idea to rotate your tyres consistently. Most car care experts suggest you get a complete tyre rotation at least once every couple times that you change your oil. Tyre rotations can help you prevent your tyres from developing uneven wearing of the treads which can cause your car to lean in one direction or another. Your tyres are the foundation of your car's base and its connection to the road, so worn or improperly maintained tyres could be a big safety problem.

Another often neglected and very simple car maintenance tip is checking and filling the air in your tyres. Tyre pressure goes down over time just from natural use, but it can go down more quickly if there's a leak or deficiency. It's important to have the right amount of pressure and to have an even amount of pressure in your tyres. Having too low pressure wears on your tyre as it's stuck between the road and the rims of your car. This can lead to expedited wear and ruining of the tread. Having your car tyres overfilled (not using a gauge to fill) with air can cause dangerous blowouts that could prove fatal.

Tune ups

Regular tune ups and check ups also help ensure that you're not caught off guard with a dangerous car problem and a major expense. Still, even with all of the proper care measures that we have talked about, you are still at risk of a potential issue or accident every time you get behind the wheel. This is why having adequate car insurance is so important. Whether it's protecting your car's value or the health of you and others (liability insurance), you need to be protected before you drive.

Remember these car maintenance tips:


Get oil changes.
Look after your tyres.
Get check ups and tune ups.
Adequate car insurance.

Car Cover Prices

There are many factors that go into figuring out the price of car covers. However, regardless of the price of the product, it would cost far less to buy a car cover rather than paying for a new paint job.

Factors that determine the cost:

Factor that will determine how much a car cover will cost is how heavy and durable the material is. The heavy duty materials will generally cost you more money than the light ones. However, they will protect your car better, as well as have a longer life span than the less expensive products.

Another major factor that can determine the price of a car cover is the fit of the cover on the car. The typical car cover will not be as expensive as those which are custom made to fit your particular vehicle.

Cost:

The least expensive car cover will cost you less than $50. This type of product will be the very basic polyester-cotton blend, which is very lightweight. Even though this will provide you adequate protection, it is not as durable as the ones that are heavy-duty.

The heavier polyester-cotton blend materials are the ones that most car enthusiasts prefer to use. They are soft, yet provide superior protection and have a much longer lifespan than the inexpensive products. The ready-fit covers of this brand will generally cost you a little over $100, with the custom made products costing $150 to $200.

The most expensive types of car covers are the ones made of heavy duty acrylic. This material is exceptionally strong, as well as longer lasting, and gives your car superior protection from sun damage. The ready fit products made from this material can cost as much as $200, with the custom fit products costing over $250.

How To Take Care Of Your Horse

Horses are one of the most exciting pets to own and they make excellent companions. In fact, they are almost like people with their own personalities. However, taking care of your horse is a big responsibility and your horse must be cared for properly to keep it healthy and happy. To provide the appropriate level of care for your horse, you can imagine it as being a child of about 4 years old as this is about their level of mentality.

The first thing that you will need for your horse is a home. This may be a stable or a paddock. If you do not have somewhere large enough for your horse to live at your house, you may want to consider agistment or a place that rents out stables or land for horses to live. You will need to keep your horse's home clean by removing his droppings daily for stables and weekly for pasture.

There are also many daily responsibilities that you will have as an owner. The first is feeding your horse. If you have it in a stable, you will need to feed it grains and chaff, as well as hay and make the stable comfortable for it by providing sawdust or hay for bedding. Horses also need large amounts of fresh clean drinking water. You will need to check the water you provide for your horse regularly during the day to make sure it has plenty and has not tipped it over or drank it all.

Horses also need to have regular exercise and plenty of love and attention. Make the time with your horse enjoyable by giving it a good brushing before and after you ride it. Offer affection and yummy treats such as apples or sugar cubes to encourage it to think of you as his friend. By making friends with your horse, it will try even harder to please you.

Do not forget to clean under your horses feet with a hoof pick daily, as well as before and after you ride it to make sure that it has not picked up a rock in his hoof as this will make it lame. You will also need to have his hooves trimmed by a farrier every 8 weeks to keep its feet from getting cracked, sore or overgrown.

Your horse will need to be wormed regularly and just like people horses need to have regular checkups from a vet, even if they are not sick, to make sure that they are healthy. If you have any concerns about your horse or what to feed it or how often, your vet will also be able to help you.

During winter, you may need to provide a rug for your horse, especially if the winter months are particularly cold. Horses that are in stables will also need to have rugs for the night as they can not move around to keep warm.

As you have read, one of the most important things that you will need is time. The time needed to take care of your horse properly and train it to do the things that you want it to do. When you are able to be patient and gentle with your horse, it will be the best friend that you ever had.

How to Take Care for Indoor Bamboo Plants

Care for indoor bamboo plants ensures in healthy growth of bamboo plant. It includes proper fertilization, nourishment and sapping. These in reality are wild long grass that grows in the tropical region amidst the warm climate. Due to its easiness and ornamental look they are usually grown indoors. Alphonse Kerr and Japonica are some of the fabulous plants that are usually grown at home. Since these are sturdy plants various steps have to be implemented to ensure their growth. Caring of these plants becomes easier as an individual gets familiar to it.

Maintaining tips:


Care for indoor bamboo plants can be done by embedding the them in a pot with soil containing mix of fragmented rocks, pebbles and clay. This helps in proper drainage. Otherwise water gets saturated resulting into rotting of roots.
Watering needs to be done keeping in mind the climatic conditions of the area. Normally, soil speedily dries out when kept indoors. Coiling of leaves shows that it is not getting water properly whereas, sagging signifies over watering.
Place the plant in area where it can get adequate sunlight and enough shade.
Care for them also depends upon regular organic feeding of chicken manure, N: 10, P: 6 and K: 5 done in small quantities.
Misting is another important step. It is spraying spurt of water on plant. It is used to imitate the damp conditions that bamboo is habitat to. Use of Vaporizer can be done for misting.
Bamboos are usually resistant to pests but sometimes they might get infected by fungus, insects and microbes that cause spots on it. So, pesticides have to be sprayed.
Care for indoor bamboo plants hugely depends on the time of its planting.If it is planted in winter season then dense protection is required so that soil remains loose deep down even in frigid neighboring.

Caring of Taller Plants:

If an individual wants to grow tall bamboo plants, then routine trimming and tapering has to be done, so that its branches don't over spread. Discard away the shrunken stems of the plant by cutting it at the soil bed level. Care for them also includes restricting its height. It can be controlled by cutting it above nodes. Bamboo sometimes extends till ceiling of house in such case, cut out the stalk off the uppermost branch. If lower stems have less or no branches, then cut it from its lower third and reduce the branches till second node of every branch. This encourages growing of new, tender branches. An individual can also surround the pot with barricade, to accentuate the spreading of plant. Soil near the barrier has to be hard without any air pockets.

Car Body and Paint Repairs

Whether its ownership or the intention of boosting your car's morale, one can make repairs to body and paint. For instance, a cracked or leaking window, a door does not close properly, the car's fender was attacked by the garage, the car was whacked by a rock or a boulder or the interior has a tear or a cigarette burn. These and many others body and paint problems can be fixed by DIY style.

Tips for Your Car
- Here are some tips and guidelines for troubleshooting paint problems and automotive body;
- If the car was parked overnight in a violent neighborhood, it would probably need paint and body works.
- Prior to spending huge amount on a new paint, a little money can be spent on cleaners, polishes and rubbing compound just for seeing if grease are of any help to solve the problem.
- Anti-rust products such as naval jelly are really useful for removing and stopping rust. The manufacturer's recommendations can be followed.
- The auto parts dealer has a lot of aftermarket car care products which are designed to give a good look to the car. In such cases, they can be availed and used on the car to give it a better look.

Knowing the kind of a Crack
Car windows are really superb. They are helpful in seeing ahead without the wind mussing your hair. They also keep the rain and snow from getting in the car. So the question is what one can do if the car window is leaked or cracked. They can be easily repaired by using products that can be bought auto parts dealers and even many super stores. Depending on what is being intended to be done, there also might be a need for one or two glass suction cups for lifting and positioning larger glass pieces.

For repairing a car window with simple tools, these simple steps can be followed:

1. First, the damage to the window has to be identified. In case it's a small crack or chip, it can be repaired by using an automotive window repair kit. It is possible then the damage can be checked over a few days to know if it's even or if it's spreading. In case its spreading, then the repair kit might not be able to help in stopping the spread. A new glass would be required.

2. For repairing the glass, the instructions on the package of different window repair kits should be read. Some are for chips, some for cracks while others are for both. Look for the one that seems best to solve the problem. The manufacturer's instructions can be followed. Some kits require the removal of rough corners from the chip, installing the retaining cup and then installing the filler into the chip. In case of glass scratches, a glass abrasive and cleaner can be applied, it is available from bigger auto retailers or glass shops.

3. For replacing the glass, it has to be figured first how it will be taken out. Even though it is shattered into countless pieces, the glass would have to be removed from the edges before installing a new one. For a door glass, the door panel has to be removed to access the mechanism that moves the window up and down. The glass is attached below. The front and rear window glass requires the trim and the rubber gasket to be removed. The rubber gasket has to be replaced with a new one as the new one is installed. The car manual will be of help for removing and replacing the glass.

4. For repairing a leaking window gasket, pour water on it for identifying how it is getting it. If it is penetrating through the gasket, a putty knife can be used to lift the gasket away from the glass and a little window sealer can be applied. The excess can be cleaned and dried and then retest and repeat as required.

Sagging Doors gives an Old Look to the Car
Few things are more frustrating than standing by the car door in rain and banging it close tightly.

For adjusting doors using the car care toolbox, follow the simple steps below:

1. Look for the door sag. Open the door and close it slowly just stopping as it is about to touch the latch. In case the door is too high or too low for the opening then lift the door from the bottom below the handle. In case the door moves too much before it moves, then open the door completely and check the hinges for loose bolts or noticeable movement in hinges. For moving the door up, down, forward and backward, the hinge bolts on the body has to be slightly loosen, the door has to be moved to the correct position and then the bolts have to be tightened. For moving the door in and out, the hinge bolts on the door has to be slightly loosened, the door has to be moved to the correct position and then the bolts have to be tightened.

2. Once the door the correctly aligned, the door latching has to be checked. The door has to be carefully closed to see how it catches. Either the latch or striker bolt on the door can be adjusted. By opening and closing the door carefully few times, it can be estimated how much adjustment is needed. For guidance, the relative positions of the latch and striker on the opposite door can be checked. Once the door is adjusted, small changes can be done in the alignment by adjusting the screws at the bottom and top but not both of them at the same time. Once the door latches well, the screws can be tightened well so that the latch stays in alignment.

3. The rubber seal around the door can be inspected for presence of cracks

Un-Denting Unavoidable Dents
Here is what one can do to remove body dents. Some specialized body tools might be needed for the following job. Follow these steps:

Look closely to observe the nature of the scratch, in case of deep damage, some metals might have to be moved.

Tools for body repair can be bought form an auto retailer. They can be slide, pick and bumping hammers, and a variety of dolleys.

To hammer a dent, hold the dolley on the back side of the dent and bang on the front side with hammer.

For pulling out a dent, a hole has to be drilled, screw the slide hammer into the hole and move the handle back and forth for pulling it out.

For filling holes and finishing the repairing dent, a grinder or file can be used for removing the paint from that part and then filler can be used to shape. Filler can be of plastic or lead, the brand name of a popular plastic filler product is called Banda.

Permanent Makeup
Once everything is done, you can choose your desired color to give your car a good makeup. Sprays and paint cans can be used for this purpose, they can be easily bought from the market and easily used on the car.

Cichlid Fish Care

The cichlid fish has a very colorful appearance which makes them one of the most popular fish to own. Their care is not that difficult but they do have requirements that must be adhered to in order for them to be healthy.

Most cichlids come from Africa, but they are also found in Central and South America. They are found in many different kinds of waters, such as rivers, lakes and ponds. There are many different cichlid species and many different color variations.

In your cichlid tank, you must provide places for them to hide, such as large pieces of driftwood or rock caves. If you have a large species of cichlids, it is best not to put plants in their aquarium because they tend to dig up substrate materials. Other species, like the angelfish and discus prefer a planted tank.

Most cichlids like to be in water temperatures in the mid seventies. The Discus species prefers slightly higher temperatures. The staple food of your cichlid's diet should be a large flake food, but you should also feed many different types of live and frozen foods. It's good to have variety in their diet. If you have a large cichlid, it can even be fed earthworms and crickets.

Cichlids are very territorial which makes them aggressive. You must watch out for this aggression. If you have a mating pair, the male will usually drive away the female after mating. There needs to be somewhere for her to hide or else she can be killed. Because they are so aggressive, you should only keep them with other large fish that can stand up against them.

If you carefully select the fish, cichlids can be kept in a community tank. Dwarf cichlids work extremely well for this. They can be kept together pretty easily with schooling fish like Characins. If you keep cichlids in a tank together just make sure there is enough room for them to claim their own territory.

Large cichlids should only be kept with fish of the same size and temperament as themselves. Do not keep any large cichlid with a small fish because they will probably make them a meal.

If you decide to breed cichlids, you need to realize that there are two different types of breeders. Substrate brooders lay eggs out in the open on a surface or hidden in a cavity. They will fan the eggs to increase oxygen supply and after they hatch, the fish will look after the young until they are eating on their own and free swimming. After that, the parents will still protect the young against predators. The parents will be extremely aggressive during this time.

The other type of breeder is called a mouthbrooder. They put the eggs and larvae in their mouths. They keep them in their mouths until the young are free swimming. Most mouthbrooders stop looking after the young once they are free swimming, but others do continue to care for them by letting them go back into their mouths when there is danger.

Cichlids are really fun fish to own. There are so many different kinds of cichlids and some of the colors are truly stunning. Before you get cichlids, just try to do as much research about them as you can.

When to Use a Car Wax Or a Car Polish

As an Internet car care specialist, with almost a half-dozen loyal readers -- you can be assured that I get a ton of mail. Every day in my box is full - including lots of spam. I don't mean my email box, I mean the postal box in front of my house -- stuffed full of open, rancid cans of Spam.

Whoever is doing that, please stop.

Anyway, when I'm not scrubbing-out my mailbox with Chlorox, I write car care columns for people who care about their cars. I get a lot of questions about wax and polish. You'd think they never watched "The Karate Kid," where Mr. Miagi explained the whole wax on - wax off thing in detail - with Daniel-San providing the demo. So, people who are too lazy to watch a movie write and ask me how and when to polish their cars.

In fact, Dwayne Hebert of Waldo, FL writes:


Yo Mac

Can you tell me when I should wax or polish my car? Thx, dude. 

Dwayne Hebert - Waldo, FL


Naturally, I added the caps, punctuation and the correct spelling for "Waldo."

The answer is: Yes, Dwayne, I can tell you when to wax or polish your car!

SWIRLS: The Curse that keeps coming back

Have you ever wondered why you have all those tiny swirl marks in your car's paint? You take good care of your car, in fact, you don't even use an automatic car wash, but nonetheless swirl marks appear on your hood, trunk, roof and sides of your car.

What causes those swirls?

Why... you do!

You see, when you wash your car, the brushes at the automatic car wash are holding onto dirt and other hard particles that work - like a team of filthy, little scoundrels - to swirl your paint as those brushes work their magic. So, while you car looks clean and bright, there are more swirls happenin' than a Saturday night at Dairy Queen.

If you wash your car by hand, you'll tend to use a swirling motion with your wash cloth, washing mitt or even with a soft car brush.  Tiny particles of dirt, grime, dried bug parts and bird poop are in that wash cloth or mitt and you are basically using those particles as abrasives to swirl the paint! The same thing happens when you dry the car.

Nasty, huh?

The best way to help avoid those swirls is to use a back & forth motion as you wash and dry, Pro detailers also use a 2nd rinse bucket. They dip their wash mitts into a rinse bucket and squeeze it out before dipping it back into the soap bucket. This leaves the dirt out of the soap and keeps that soapy water sparkling clean. Pretty smart -- those detail guys.

But let's say you already have swirls in your paint and you want them gone faster than a cheating spouse. What are the best products to use? Here are a few simple tips:

Check the label on waxes first

Many waxes have a light abrasive that will help remove bugs and tar from your paint, these are normally solvent-based products, because they use mineral spirits to soften the paint ever-so-slightly. (If you've ever used baby oil to remove paint or grease from your skin, you get the idea.) These waxes might have enough buffing capacity to remove some swirling, while the wax itself will fill-in the remainer of the swirls.

Remember that those remaining swirls are only masked by the wax. As your wax wears off, they'll return like an unwanted ex. Using a carnauba-based spray wax to refresh your wax job is an excellent way to keep those scratches from coming home. (Why do I choose carnauba-based sprays? Because carnuaba wax is a harder, deeper wax coating that will build on top of your first coat.)

Use a light-duty polish

If your swirls seem deep and you'd prefer to knock 'em down a bit before waxing, there are a myriad of good polishes available on the Web that will do the job. Surprisingly, I have not seen a decent polishing compound available at the big chain auto stores or big box stores. The polishes I've observed are either too harsh or too expensive, while others require professional application with machine-buffing only.

Do a little research and find a polish that is abrasive enough to remove the swirls yet light enough to be used by a Weekend Warrior like yourself. Yes, you can remove most swirls by hand with a little elbow grease and persistence. Do not expect to remove the swirls in one application.  If you want your car to sparkle better than the day it rolled-off the assembly line, then take the time to apply a 2nd, or even 3rd coat, of polish. This will guarantee results and make you and your car happier than Brad and Angelina at a fertility clinic.

How to polish

Very briefly, you should closely follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure for applying and removing polish, however the basics are quite simple:

Shake the bottle of polish very well.  Park your car in the shade or in a garage -- never in direct sunlight. Apply a quarter-sized dollop of polish to a clean, folded cotton cloth or polishing pad. Apply to a 2-foot by 2-foot area in a back and forth motion. Try not to use circular motion! (The reason for this is simple: swirls reflect light from all angles, back and forth scratches only reflects from two angles. Any scratches you might create while polishing will only be visible from two perspective angles.)

After rubbing the area for approximately one minute, use a soft terry cloth or microfiber towel to buff out the dried (or semi-dried) polish. Use back and forth motions again. Don't be afraid to buff at a 90-degree angle to your application process.

Be absolutely certain to aggressively snap the towel in the air after every buffing operation, (away from your car), to remove the trapped, dried polish. Dried polish on a towel can create - you guested it - swirl marks!

Repeat this process on the same area once or twice for best results, then move to the next area. Be sure to overlap slightly into the area(s) that have already been buffed.

Buffing a mid-sized car, like a Camry or a Malibu should require about 1.5 - 2 hours of work. This is why I recommend that you buff on Day #1 and wax on Day #2. However, if you purchase a good polish with a  wax-base or containing man-made polymers, you will be waxing as you go. Naturally, this wax will not be as deep or long-lasting as a full wax application, but it will protect your car very nicely until you have the time to wax it.

You will be extremely pleased with your results once you have polished your car and applied a deep, warm carnauba wax coating. Your car will stand-out and attract some positive attention and comments.

Be proud of your car - and yourself!

Best Car Insurance For Teenagers - Take Care in Making Selection

Getting the ideal auto insurance for your teenager ward can be bit tough experience for majority of parents. Here you should remain prepared to pay hefty amounts for getting a suitable insurance cover. But remember this is a reality and like all other parents you have to face it as well. If you are looking to get quality auto insurance for your teenage child then you need to follow certain guidelines to get the most suitable insurance for them. It is a very common fact that buying car insurance for teenagers is a major concern for the parents due to the high premium of auto insurance being charged. It's ironical that parents have to spend less amount of money for their own car insurance in comparison to their teenager ward's car insurance. Even senior citizens get auto insurance at a lower cost as compared to the teenagers' automobile insurance.

Auto Insurance for teenagers is costly because insurance companies consider teenagers as a high risk category. As it is, teenagers are more prone to accidents. While driving, most likely they may suffer or cause injury to others.

The teenagers share this common intention to drive the car in super fast speed, not knowing properly how to control the car in an emergency. Many times this can lead to an accident. The insurance company has to pay huge amount as an insurance claim is such a situation. Due to this reason the rate being charged is higher for the automobile insurance for teenagers.

Here are some factors which affect the premium of the auto insurance for teenagers heavily. If these factors are taken care of, then the premium of the car insurance for teenagers can be lowered by great extent. One such point is that one should take drivers' certificate by joining drivers' education classes conducted by various operators or the motor vehicles department of that particular state, this helps the teenagers a lot to get a low interest rate.

Another is good driving record without any road safety violation ticket or prior accident record in his or her name. The clean record helps the teenagers to get lower insurance rate gradually. Other points like consistent grade card or report also helps. It is assumed that good graders are always cautious even on road and so the chance of getting into accident for them is lower too. And this assumption helps them get discount on car insurance for teenagers leading to low premium for them.

And after getting the automobile insurance if teenagers maintain good record then he or she may get benefit the next time onwards.

Remote Car Starter Buying Guide

My store has been installing Remote Car Starters since the early 1990s. This experience has taught us what is important in a quality remote starter installation. With the cold season almost upon us, we thought it would be a good time to post our Top 10 List (in no particular order):

10. Warranty

The actual remote starter brain should be warrantied for as long as you own the car. Many quality companies offer this. If they do not, it is a possible sign of inferior equipment. Remote controls, however are rarely warrantied for more than a year. Our Pro line remotes carry a 2 year warranty and all our 2 way remotes have a $25 replacement plan.

9. Engine Speed Sensing

A good remote starter should have some method of monitoring the engine RPM's. Why is this important? There are a couple reasons:

* On a very cold day, the car might not start on the first turn of the key. The same is true with a remote starter. It might not start the first time the starter does it's thing. Without a method of sensing engine RPM's the remote starter will have no way of knowing that the vehicle has failed to start. The end result is that you go out to your car and it is still cold.

* The other main reason is over-rev protection. A quality remote starter will know if the engine speed is too high and shut off. A remote start that does not offer RPM sensing cannot know if this level is exceeded and could end with damage to the vehicle.

8. Transmitter Range

You want to make sure that the remote start that you are buying will allow you to start/stop/lock/unlock, etc from a long distance. Many people say that they just park their car right outside of their house and do not need a long rang transmitter. Just keep in mind the trips to the movies, the mall, the amusement park, etc. You will want to use your remote start then also and you will not be parked as close as at home. Our transmitters offer a minimum of 800 feet and some are over a mile!

7. Hood Safety Switch

Make sure that there is an emergency cutoff installed under the hood. This cutoff is designed to prevent the vehicle from remote starting if the hood is up. This protects you and your mechanic from forever having someone else open your ketchup bottles! DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS! Many shops skip this step because it saves time. Mobile Edge integrates a hood cutoff on every single job.

6. Manufacturer

Make sure that the manufacturer is a company that specializes in remote car starters. There are many companies out there that simply throw a label on a product and call it their own. You want to avoid that. It is our experience that these companies provide little if any support for their products and many will not be in business next year. Stick with the experts.

5. New Car Warranty

Do not let your car dealer tell you that an aftermarket remote car starter will void your warranty . This is against the law. The Magnuson Moss Act prevents a dealer from voiding a warranty simply because of the addition of aftermarket equipment. If that equipment or associated installation causes damage to the vehicle, the dealer does not have to warranty the job. This is more of a reason to go to a specialist shop that sell good remote starters and installs them professionally. I have a detailed PDF on this subject.

4. Do it Yourself?

Unless you are a certified technician with experience in remote car starter installation, DO NOT attempt to install your own remote starter. I know... The one you saw at WalMart comes with an instructional video. That video will teach you enough to make you dangerous. Trust me! It will not teach you how to integrate the transponder in a 2004 Ford or bypass the security in an 06 Trailblazer. The instructional video may have worked in the early 1990's, but today's cars are very sophisticated. Save yourself a ton of expense and headache and have it installed by someone who does this for a living and can be responsible for the job. This brings us to number 3.

3. Buy it Here / Install it There?

Do not buy your remote starter on eBay (or WalMart or Amazon, etc) and expect to find a quality, reputable shop that will install it for you. While many aftermarket shops will install stereos and amps purchased elsewhere, few if any will install a remote start purchased elsewhere. During remote starter season, the good shops are busy enough trying to keep up with their own work. If you find a shop that will install someone else's remote starter, they are likely not very busy. Do you want to trust your vehicle to that guy?

There is another very important reason not to buy a remote starter at one place and have it installed at another. Let's say something goes wrong. A remote starter is an electronic product and can fail. The guy that puts it in will blame the product and the manufacturer will say that it was installed wrong. Guess who is stuck in the middle with no recourse. When you have the shop that you buy a remote starter from install it, you have one place to go in the event of a failure. There cannot be any finger pointing.

2. Go to a Specialist

Look for a specialty shop. Not to bash any of the chain stores, but they have a much higher turnover rate with installers than a specialty shop. These are people that likely have less experience than a long term employee at a specialty shop. It is my experience that many installer "cut their teeth" at a chain store and, once they have more experience, move on to a specialist (We pay more!).

Many specialists (not all though) will solder all of their connections. I feel that this is very important. Crimp connectors can save up to an hour of installation time, but when dealing with the vehicle's electrical system, I want a rock solid connection. The only way to get that is by soldering the wires together. Mobile Edge has soldered every connection on every job for nearly 15 years.

Will a remote starter from a specialty shop cost more than from a chain store? Sometimes yes. But put that into perspective. Even if the job cost $100 more from a specialist, that difference is less than 1/10 of 1% of what you probably paid for your car. Why take the risk. Not to mention, when you deal with a specialist, you can talk to the installer, salesman and, in many cases, the owner. There is definitely a value in that.

1. More than Just a Remote Starter

Make sure that you review all of the convenience features that can be added to your remote starter with your salesperson before the installation! Most higher quality remote starters will allow a ton of cool features to be added or controlled from the remote. Anything from heated seats to keyless entry and rear defrost can be integrated with most better systems. It is A LOT cheaper to have this done at the time of installation. If you want to add it later, you may be paying for several hours of additional labor.

The Bottom Line

In summary, the cheapest price does not always save you money! When selecting a shop to have a remote starter put in, ask a lot of questions. How long have they been in business? How much experience do their technicians have? Do they have sophisticated computer programs to aid with installation? How do they handle warranty issues? You get the idea. The better shops will clearly rise to the top. They might cost a little more up front, but that extra expense will pay dividends in quality and piece of mind. I am sure that you will find that Mobile Edge is one of the best shops for your Remote Car Starter Installation.

Monsoon Care for Car Interiors

One of the many problems associated with monsoons are stinking interiors primarily due to water seeping into the car. However, the interiors can be kept dry by following certain simple tips.

Floor mats are the first ones that get mucky as the dirt on the mat soaks up water more readily. This problem can be avoided by using reusable mats or any old mats. Once the rain stops, these mats can be removed and replaced with fresh, dry mats. One can also used rubber mats instead of fabric mats, as rubber mats do not absorb water readily.

One important aspect that can lead to stinking car interiors during monsoon is ventilation. If the interiors are wet, it is always better to roll down the windows so that the interiors get dried up. Apart from that, the car interiors should be cleaned periodically so as to keep dirt away. A dry feet or footwear would give better control on the pedals. Hence, one must ensure to have dry feet before entering the car.

Another major problem that commonly crops up is bad smell inside the car during monsoons. Molds that grow due to moisture and humidity are the main reasons for a stinking smell inside the car. These molds might be growing beneath carpets or other interior areas. It is always better to locate the area and use antifungal agents to remove molds.

Smells inside the car can be neutralized using car perfumes such as Ambi Pur Car. Spills, pet smells and urine smells should be treated in a different manner. The best method is to soak up as much as possible and let the area get dried up. Now, the area should be cleaned properly using a soap solution and allowed to get dried up.

Paramore - Stuck On You w/ lyrics

Paramore - Stuck On You I heard you driving in my car Then in a frozen bar I claimed I didn't care for you But your verse got trapped inside my head Over and over again You played yourself to death in me I thought I'd drop you easily But that was not to be You burrowed like a summer tic So you invade my sleep and confuse my dreams Turn my nights to sleepless itch Stuck on you 'till the end of time I'm too tired to fight your rhyme Stuck on you 'till the end of time You've got me paralyzed Holding on the telephone I hear your midrage moan You're everywhere inside my room Even when I'm alone I hear your mellow drone You're everywhere inside of me Stuck on you 'till the end of time I'm too tired to fight your rhyme Stuck on you 'till the end of time You've got me trapped again I can't escape your incessant whine When you beam it out all across the sky No I can't escape your inside rhyme When you shoot it deep Straight into my mind

Preventative Car Maintenance in Summer Helps to Avoid that Sudden Breakdown

Preventative car maintenance in summer months is not much different from what it takes to maintain cars in winter. In summer, you have to regularly check and maintain the mechanical components of the car to tackle the rigors of the hot summer conditions. The following tips on preventative car maintenance in summer assures you trouble less rides:

The very first thing you need to take care is the cooling system. During the hotter months, the cooling system works more intensely to prevent overheating of the engine. For the mechanism to work effectively, the coolant and water mixture for a vehicle's radiator should measure to 50:50.

The next point about preventative car maintenance in summer is tire pressure. Tire pressure is important in all contexts - irrespective of whether it is for speed or for safety reasons. If you need your car's tires to last long and perform efficiently, you will need to inflate them properly. Properly pumped up tires help maintain the best possible contact with the road giving the vehicle steadiness and speed. Inflating tires improperly, on the other hand, leads problems like punctures.

Refer to your owner's manual for the ideal air-pressure for your vehicle's tire. Remember, summer heat causes the pressure within the tire to rise; hence, you will be required to check the air pressure when the tires are cold.

The subsequent preventative measure for your car's maintenance involves engine oil. The owner's manual specifically mentions the best engine oil for your vehicle during hot summers. Yet, the general rule for engine oil necessitates you to use a little thick, viscous oil, which lubricates the integral parts of the engine.

Next in order of importance is the car's battery. Car batteries hardly signal failure well ahead of time. It is advisable to leave all cares of car-batteries to professionals, especially in summertime when the excessive heat causes further damage to it. Changing your car battery every three years will save you a lot of trouble.

Beside these essential tips about preventative car maintenance in summer months, your cars need some lesser yet significant maintenance programs too. Replacing belts and hoses is one such car-care as is inspecting the wipers and wiper fluids.

Round up your preventative car maintenance in summer time by placing an emergency kit including basic tools like flashlights, pliers, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. inside your car. With your car ready to budge, you can hoard some rations if you are really thinking of a long journey. Placing a first-aid kit in the car will make your journey 100% safe.

How to Take Care of Your Car Headlights

It is a common occurrence on the road - gleaming cars with sleek bodies, washed and polished to a fault, sporting yellowed, cloudy headlights! You see dirty, unkempt, cloudy, scratched headlights on old cars and you see them on swanky new cars. It is surprising that people would go through the trouble of vacuuming their interiors and hand polishing their exteriors while leaving their car headlights looking positively ugly.

Unattractive headlights are a compelling eyesore because your headlights form the basic character of your car. These are what you first observe in a car. They are the eyes of the car and play a big role in maintaining the good looks of your car. Clear headlights are also a safety requirement. Cloudy headlights do not throw proper light on the road and could very well lead you into a ditch at night. So, it is important to take care of your car headlights regularly, for both aesthetic and pragmatic reasons.

The good news is that maintaining your car headlights in great condition is easy; and investing some time in it will keep you safe and happy.

Cracked headlights: If one or both headlights are cracked, replace them immediately. Any crack on the surface will allow moisture and dust to seep in, making the headlights cloudy while increasing the glare for oncoming drivers. If you need to wait for the weekend or a holiday to get the headlight replaced, seal the crack with resin until you replace.

Dirty headlights: Use headlight cleaners to wipe your headlights. Dirty, cloudy headlights can greatly affect your night vision. So, every time you wash your windshield, make it a point to clean your car headlights too.

Maintenance: Many drivers say that they just do not remember to check the condition of their headlights. This is wrong. Inspect your headlights annually to make sure that they are in good condition and are focused properly. Replace bulbs once every year to keep your headlights in good working condition. And it is important to replace both bulbs, even if you have a situation where only one is burned out.

Condensation: Sometimes headlights get cloudy due to retention of moisture. To remove condensation, remove the headlight and drill a small hole at the bottom. Drain out water and leave the headlight to dry. Seal the headlight and reinstall it.

Headlight lenses: Most recent vehicles have lenses made of polycarbonate. This makes it easy to maintain and repair them, if necessary. However, though polycarbonate is resilient and hardy, it also has a tendency to cloud and yellow after extensive UV exposure. Fortunately, there are a number of clarifying agents to help you remove this haze.

For those who are less inclined to purchase products to clean their headlights, there are headlight repair and maintenance kits. These kits have everything you need to keep your lenses clean.

Keeping your car headlights in good condition is not a difficult task. All it needs is consistency.
