Extend Cruising Season

Summer is a great time to take your vehicle out for a spin, but that might not be enough for some drivers. Although winter cruising might some like a radical concept, it’s doable with a little forethought. Follow these tips for keeping your car safe during winter driving:

• Check the battery to make sure it has enough juice to handle the cold
• Keep an eye out for distracted, crummy drivers
• Pick a nice day when the snow isn’t flying
• Switch to winter tires to maneuver on slippery surfaces
• Drive at slow speeds to let the engine warm-up
• Add some corrosion protection to protect the paint job

When you’re done for the day, spend a little extra tender care on your baby before tucking it in for the night. Wipe off accumulated moisture and grit with a soft cloth and pay special attention to the undercarriage. Wipe off wheel wells and be sure to dry afterward to prevent ice formation.

When you’re all done, slip on your choice of best outdoor car covers for some added protection and warmth. The perfect car cover provides water resistance and UV protection. The best covers can be used indoors, too, and are made of soft, durable and breathable materials. They are washer safe, easy to store and come with soft linings that caress your car’s paint job.
