PAGE 28, WEDNI3SDAY, J UNiE Il. 1986,WIIITBY FREPRESS Cleaning those wheels shows you mean business There is an old edict in business which dlaims, "You can tell a lot about a man by looking at his shoes." This same statement can also be ap- plied ta an automobile: "You can tell a- lot about how well a car is main- tained by looking at its wheels." Many car owners don't sceem to give the samne care ta their autos wheels as they do the rest ai the cars exteri- or appearance. They spend hours washing and waxing ta achieve a showroom-like look, but may leave the dirt, road stains and disc brake dust which accumulates in the wheel area. This nat only detracts fromn the car's averallaok, but also gives the impression of a job left hall done. Cleaning bath the wheel parts and the tire areas can be a relatively sim- ple task, even though the convention- aI products used for washing and waxing are flot weII suited for these areas. Special praducts have been formulated ta dlean dirt and stains off wheel partsincluding wire, painted steel, aluminum, chrome, mag, spokes and hub caps, as weIl as the tires. Several of these praducts, how- ever, contain strong hydrofluaric chemnicals which can be irritating ta the skin or harmful to clothing. Some af these wheeî cleaners have also required the purchase af a second praduct that is used as a 'neutraliz- er." The car owner mixes this product, usualîy an aikaline base of some sort, with the wheeî cleaner in order to neutralize its high acid content. This two-step process is not only timne- consuming and expensive but also calîs upon the user ta act as a sort of amateur chemist. These wheel cleaning annoyances can be avoided by using one of the one-step cleaners that have been de- veloped as safe and effective alterna- tives. Produets such as Bordens Ramn DanceO Wheel Cleaner and White- walI Tire Cleaner contain non-taxic formulas that do not compromise the ability ta dlean wheel parts or the tires. Their use can make the dlean- ing of the wheel area a simple process which takes just a few minutes. Adding the wheel areas ta aur regu- lar exterior maintenance schedule ai cleaning and polishing wiIl give your car the complete look that otherwise would be missing. It wiIl be like ad- ding a brand new pair ai handsome shaes to a $400 suit. t A CAgS EPJGL NRAfES ENOUBH HEAi TO DESTROY ITSELI-. [THLCOOLING SVSTEM VROTLTNNNS[ WAi4GE, KEEPING THE.
