Tips On Detailing A Car - Exterior


Tips on detailing a car can help you protect your investment and keep it looking like new. After a house, purchasing a vehicle is most people's second largest purchase. It only makes sense that you would want to care for and protect your investment.

And, thoroughly detailing your car, truck or SUV a few times a year will help you do just that.

Exterior

Next, wash the car. Start by simply rinsing the car with the garden hose. Avoid using a nozzle that forces the water from the hose. A slow, steady rinse will gently remove unwanted dust, dirt and debris from the car's surface.

Significant Features of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco


The Chevrolet Malibu is probably one of the most successful Chevrolet models for the past decade. This is because the Malibu offers a wide range of exciting features that buyers would surely enjoy. In addition to this, the Malibu is considered as one of the best in its segment in terms of physical appearance, fuel economy, and performance.

But despite of this positive image, General Motors is not yet satisfied with what the Malibu has accomplished so far since most of closest competitors such as the Hyundai Sonata and the Toyota Camry are currently improving their features. In fact, Hyundai and Toyota have been using hybrid technologies for such models to boost their fuel economies.

The Best Fuel Efficient Used Cars


Used automobiles are becoming more and more of a popular choice among drivers who do not require new and shiny vehicles to get them from one destination to another.

Although it was manufactured nearly twenty years ago, there is no denying the reliability and practicality the 1994 Mazda 323 brings to its owner. A child of one of the biggest Japanese powerhouses in the automotive market, the 323 is famed for its exceptional performance on road-handling. Its great handling allows the driver to get great maneuverability out of the vehicle, and thus getting a smooth and satisfying driving experience. Viewing the 323 from the outside, drivers would be lead to believe that with its small build, the car would be quite cramped on the inside, but taking a look in, they will see that it actually houses a spacious front passenger area. This Mazda currently sells at about $900.
