Keep leather from drying out and cracking: Leather cars seats are durable and don’t require a lot of maintenance. After a few years, however, the seats can become soiled. Use a leather cleaner to remove dirt and stains.Then apply a leather protectant formulated for pigmented or top-coated grain leather (the leather used for most leather car upholstery). Protectants will resist stains and make the upholstery easier to clean in the future. Choose a protectant that includes conditioners to keep your leather supple.

Beware the wet thumb: If you top off your tires at a service station, check to see if there’s moisture coming from the air pump. Simply depress the pin inside the inflator valve with your thumbnail. If your thumb gets wet, advise the station manager that his tanks need to be drained and go to a different station. Moisture, trapped inside a tire, can cause pressure variations and corrode rims.

Choose a good car insurer: Sometimes, no
matter how careful you are, disaster inevitably
strikes — typically in the form of an accident.
Make sure that your car will be repaired to the
best possible standard by finding an insurer
that will pay for parts from the original
manufacturer and guarantee the repairs it
authorizes. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Use upholstery cleaners on soiled seats: The same upholstery cleaners you use at home can be used on your car’s upholstery. Use them sparingly, however, to avoid saturating the fabric. Use a clean cloth to wipe away the foam. On velour seats, brush the fibers gently to avoid matting them and to preserve the original texture of the fabric.

Lighten up your key chain: Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition.The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Blast mats with the hose: When washing your
car, drag out the rubber or carpet floor mats
and blast them with the hose.This will dislodge
dirt particles that, if allowed to build up, will
grind holes in your mats. Let the mats dry
thoroughly in the sun before reinstalling them. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Avoid hose hassles: Check the hoses under your hood every month or two to avoid the hassle of a broken hose while you’re on the road. With the car cool and off, squeeze the hoses. If they are hard or make a crunching sound, replace them. Ditto if they are extremely soft or sticky.With the car warm but off, examine hoses for bulges and collapsed sections. If you find any, the hose walls are weak, and it’s time to replace the hose. Never drive with a ruptured coolant hose, or you are liable to overheat the engine and damage it. Other hoses are crucial to operation of your power brakes and cruise-control systems. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Seal a leaky radiator: Save the high expense of
a new radiator by trying to seal a leak with a
radiator sealer, such as Alumaseal from Gold
Eagle Co. Available in powder or liquid form, the
product circulates in the radiator until it gets to
the hole, where it sets up and fills the hole
upon contact with the air. Alumaseal may be
used to stop heater core leaks as well. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Use your parking brake . Even if you are driving a car with an automatic transmission, use your parking brake regularly, especially if you're parked on an incline. It helps keep the brakes adjusted in the rear of the car and makes them last longer. Do not use your parking brake in the wintertime because your brake will freeze and it will be stuck until it thaws out. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Consider adding oil coolers: If you plan to do a
lot of towing and your vehicle is not already
equipped with coolers, consider having them
added. Aftermarket engine oil and transmission
fluid coolers are simple, low-cost addons that
operate on the same principle as your car’s
radiator. The fluid flows through them, and
many small fins absorb and dissipate heat.
Cooler operating temperatures of engine oil and
transmission fluid can add significantly to the
life of your engine and transmission. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

When temperatures affect tire inflation: When outside temperatures drop or soar, tires tend to lose pressure. A drop of 10 degrees F (6 degrees C), in fact, will decrease a tire’s air pressure by 1 or 2 pounds.Tires can lose even more air in hot weather. Under-inflated tires can result in accelerated wear and poor driving performance. If you live in a place where temperatures vary a lot, check your tire pressure often and add air as needed.

Some batteries need water: If your battery has vent caps, remove them to check the level of the electrolyte. It should rise 1/2 inch (13 mm) above the battery’s top plates. If it doesn’t, use distilled water to raise the level to 1/4 or 3/8 inch (6 or 10 mm) below the bottom of the vent cap. Don’t use tap water, as it may contain minerals that can damage your battery. Mechanics should check your battery as a part of your regularly scheduled maintenance, but they often skip the procedure. Be sure to ask to have it done.

Keep an auto log: Keep a pad and pencil in the glove compartment and use them to record your gas fill-ups and mileage. If you notice that your gas mileage worsens, mention it to your service man. It may be an early warning sign that something is wrong with your car. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |

Maintain proper inflation: Under-inflated tires
are a tire salesman’s best friend. They create
excessive heat and stress that can lead to tire
failure. If you want to get every last mile out of
your tires, get yourself a tire pressure gauge
and use it at least once a month (more in hot
weather) to keep your tires inflated to the
recommendation in the vehicle’s owner’s
manual. Check tires when they are cold (driven
for less than one mile) for an accurate reading. WhatsApp: +436602306454 Contact: kakakibuy@hotmail.com |
