Before connecting a new air cleaner, be sure to carefully inspect it. An air filter containing holes will not function properly and may allow debris to get into your engine.

When purchasing a new air cleaner for an automobile, many people find it helpful to take the old one along. This will save the time and aggravation of having to return to the store after purchasing the wrong product. Just because an air filter looks like the correct size, does not guarantee that it is.

Having recently bought a sports car I have invested some time finding out how to get a professional “high gloss” wax finish to the bodywork. So here are my findings and observations which should help you to get the best results.

Firstly, polishing and waxing are two different things and they should not be confused.

Polishing is the process of attaining the best finish to the paintwork prior to waxing and it involves using a “polish” which is a mild abrasive intended to remove minor burs and blemishes.

Waxing is the application of a protective and shine enhancing finish coat.

So, here are the processes that I followed and which have got me some pretty good results. Always commence the cleaning, waxing and polishing activities from the roof down and do not wash, polish or wax the car in direct sunlight.

Your off road tires can make or break the experience of driving on challenging trails. If they are not properly maintained, your ride will suffer and you could be seriously hurt. Try to learn to recognize problems before they become issues that threaten your safety, and take care of them as soon as possible with these tips for maintaining your tires.

When driving on the streets, you want your tires to be well-inflated as a safety precaution and to increase your mileage. However, while you want to avoid taking things too far, having under inflated tires on your Jeep is actually preferred by many. Because these are so different from the ones you use for everyday driving, they require special attention.

If you want to save money, consider radial tires, which can be adapted to both off road and street driving. You will need to adjust the tire pressure depending on what you’re doing, but this type of tire works well anywhere. Whatever kind of tire you get, you will still want to carry a portable air compressor with you so you can inflate or deflate your tires anywhere.

Is vehicle maintenance an issue for you? I have some suggestions for you to help keep the service tech out of the reach of your Porsche for expensive problems that are avoidable.

The very first thing you should do is to open the glove box and pull out the vehicle information booklet. In there you will find all the information about the vehicle you want to know, from vehicle weight, wheel base, oil type to be used, spark plugs, coolant, etc as well as required scheduled maintenance. There will be a vehicle maintenance log you can keep the date and mileage you had maintenance work done. These required maintenance mile posts are critical in the validation of your Manufacturer Warranty.

Another excellent place to keep this information is on your computer, keep it there and it will be in front of you when ever you want it. Most computers have Works or Word and in there you will find Vehicle logs such as Road Trip, Vehicle Detail, Vehicle Maintenance Check List, and Vehicle Repair Log. It is a good idea to set up and keep these logs not only as a vehicle maintenance reminder, but when you sell the car you have verification of everything you have had done to the vehicle.
