IT IS ironic that people will spend hundreds of
dollars on accessories for their cars, such as elaborate
wheel covers, stereos and mobile telephones, vet fail
to take care of one of the least expensive and most
important pieces of equipment for safe winter driving
— windshield wipers.

“The key to safe driving is clear windshield
visibility,’’ says Jennifer Runyeon, president of Life-
time Automotive Products, Inc. *‘Yet most drivers
wait until wiper blades are far beyond minimum per-
formance levels before changing them.”

According to the Car Care Council, wiper blades
should be replaced every six to eight months depen-
ding on their level of use or non-use. In the intense
heat of summer, wipers are used infrequently and sit
idle on hot windshields for extended periods of time.

causes cracking and splitting.

In the winter, these same blades wear out faster
because of increased use and problems with freezing
to the windshield.

Jo further improve your visibility, car care experts
emphasize the importance of using the appropriate
windshield washer fluid. While water may suffice in
temperate climates, it does not have the detergents
necessary to break down road dirt and debris.

Even the iypical blue fluids found in retail stores
do not have the detergent power necessary to combat
the smog and chemical buildup that is common in
urban areas.

To fight these buildup problems, there are now
windshield washer boosters that feature specially
formulated detergents that break down the elements
that can inhibit visibility.

transmission, special leather power sport seats,
