formulated for the new clear-
coat finishes.
"Armor All has three waxes
available. Armor All wax is
formulated for clear-coat
paint, Raindance is a bit more
abrasive and longer lasting,
and Rally is best for older
vehicles or those needing the
most intensive cleansing,"
says Mr. Robinson. "For in-
stance, the cleanser in our
top-line wax is the same pro-
duct jewelers use to clean
gemstones and rings. It's non-
abrasive, but it would not be
appropriate for an enamel
paint car, only for clear coat.
Be sure to check the labels."
Mr. Robinson says waxing a
car once a year is a good rule
of thumb, but if conditions
dictate, you may want to do it
more often. Just check the
label first so you do not ruin
your paint job.
How best to apply the wax?
"We supply applicators
with our wax and so do some
other manufacturers," Mr.
Robinson says. "It's safe to
use either a sponge or terry-
cloth applicator, whichever
you prefer."
TIRE TIME
When it comes to tire care,
basic rules apply. Tire rota-
tion is still a good idea,
especially if it is recommend-
ed in your owner's handbook.
Proper balancing of your tires
is essential, of course. Have
this work done at the ap-
propriate shop or at the
dealer if still under warranty.
Most new cars come with a
manual from the tire
manufacturer (which also
contains your new car tire
warranty), and following the
instructions there should give
your tires a nice, long life.
Remember, the sportier a
tire is, the less comfortable a
ride it will give, and it will
probably have a shorter life
than you might expect. Lux-
ury car tires last a long time
and give a smooth ride, but
they do not provide the same
handling that a sport tire
will. Some new high-
performance tires are
unidirectional (made to roll in
one direction), so make sure
these tires are installed pro-
perly for the best
performance.
Tire life can also be extend-
ed by applying protectant.
"Ozone, oxidation and
ultraviolet radiation are your
tire's worst enemies," says Ar-
mor All's Robinson. "If you
are going to use a protectant,
make sure it is water-based
and has no petroleum pro-
ducts in it. If the protectant
has any fragrance, it probably
has alcohol in it, and that is
as bad for your tires as driv-
ing nails through them.
Again, read the labels first."
Here's How Car Thieves Will
Shatter That Myth 67,000 Times In Michigan This Year.
MYTH: "I'm not worried. I have an
alarm."
Fact is, many stolen cars have
alarms.
Every 8 1/2 minutes,
another car will be
stolen in Michigan —
where this year
67,000 victims will go
through a nightmare
in which shattered
glass is just the start
of their financial and
emotional damage.
A professional thief needs less than
five minutes to disable just about any
alarm or simply tow your vehicle
away.
MYTH: "...only new cars get
stolen."'
Fact is, all cars are worth stealing.
Even an '85 Chevy purchased for
$10,600 is worth $37,000 stripped for
its parts.
Imagine what your car is worth.
Think an alarm helps? The last time
you heard a car alarm, what did you
do?
MYTH: "...I have Insurance"
Fact is, Insurance won't quite cover
you.
Insurance will cover only the market
value of your car, less the deductible.
If you have a car loan, you probably
owe the bank thousands more than
the market value of your car —
thousands you'll have to pay im-
mediately if your car is stolen.
MYTH' "It's not my problem...I'm
leasing."
Fact is, with a lease you probably
have more to lose. Chances are you
put little or no money down.
And, if your leased car is stolen,
you'll have to pay the lease in full.
Every penny.

The complete Lo-Jack system beats both
"Joyrider" and professional thieves. LoJack

disabling electronics if somone unknown to you
tries to start your car. LoJack Retrieve beats the
professional thief by enabling police to track your

sent by police auto-
matically activates
your stolen car's
LoJack unit.
