YOU OWN a car that is sev-
eral years old, still runs like
a charm, has plenty of miles
left on the odometer and
shows just a trace or two of
rust.

But you're heading into
the ‘“‘rust season’? — that
time of the year in snowbelt
regions where road crews

have already stored millions .

of tons of salt to combat icy
roads during the difficult
months ahead.

Now’s the time to consider
the prospect of either trading
for an expensive new model
or investing a small amount
of time and money to keep
the old one running longer.

If you take the latter op-
tion, it may be a good time
to seek profesional
assistance to protect against
further rust.

Below are a number of
tips that can help keep your
car in top condition, prolong
its life and, more important-
ly, improve prospects for a
higher trade-in value ... par-
ticularly if the car owner
lives in snowbelt regions,
warm, humid coastal areas
or near large industrial or
chemical-manufacturing fa-
cilities.

© Wash your car regularly,
preferably by hand, using a
soft towel or sponge. Do not
have your car cleaned at a
car wash with brushes or one
that uses recycled water
which may be saturated with
salt or chemical residues

from other cars. Many car
washes advertise
“brushless’’ and = ‘‘fresh
water’? washes.

® Make certain all washed
areas, including hard-to-
reach spots, are thoroughly
dried ‘with a soft towel or
chamois cloth.

© Power wash wheel wells
to remove built-up road de-
posits. Loosen and remove
caked mud. Make sure drain
holes in the bottom of
doors, trunk or hatch, are
unplugged.

® During cold weather,
don’t park the car in a
heated garage. Icy, salt-
laden sludge buildup on the
underside of the vehicle
becomes more active with
warmer temperatures.

© Repair and repaint any
scratches, dents or stone
chipped paint to prevent
outer body rusting.

® Wax your car at least
three times a year ... before
and after the ‘‘rust season’’,
and during the summer. This
prevents chemical fallout
damage and can prevent
fading caused by sunlight.

© Clean and treat exterior
vinyl surfaces with vinyl
dressing at least every two
months.

¢ If your car is involved in
an accident (a cornmonplace
occurence in icy weather),
have any damaged or
replacement body metal
