DURING the last few years,
there have been dramatic
changes in the paint system
technology used by the aute
industry, which have

redefined the way
automobiles look and how
they must be cared for.

One of the most impor-
tant changes has been the

introduction of a new two-
coat finish process, which
has been designed to give the
car a longer-lasting, higk-
gloss look.

The: ‘‘color coat/clear
coat system,’’ as it is called,
provides the traditional base
coat of pigmented paint over
which a special clear coat is
applied.

DEEPER FINISH

This new paint system
provides a deeper, more
lustrous finish which can
keep the car looking, for
longer periods of time, as if
it just rolled out of the
showroom.

color coat/clear coat finish
can leave car owners with
the impression that they
heed never wax their cars
again. However, as we all
have been told, looks can be
deceiving.

With traditional one-coat
paint finishes, car owners
have always just waited till
the finish looked dull as an
indicator of when to wash
and wax. Unfortunately, the
new finish technology does
not deliver such telltale
signs.

The new color coat/clear
coat finishes have been
designed to remain shiny,
even while dirt, road stains
and weathering are working
to damage it.

Effects from this wear
and tear generally will not
become recognizable until
the outer clear coat layer has
been broken down. By then,
it is too late for basic
maintenance work.

Sustaining the beauty of
these special new finishes

can be a relatively simple
task, which does not have to
be a time-consuming pro-
position.. .

REGULAR WASHING

Although car care experts
recommend a maintenance
program that includes the
seasonal use of a well-for-
mulated car wax for both
color coat/clear coat and
conventional car finishes,
regular washing is a real plus
to help keep cars looking
beautiful longer.

If car owners take steps to
maintain their car’s exterior
on a regular basis, even
though the traditional
telltale signs may not be ev-
ident, their cars should look
showroom-new far longer
than ever before.

This can be a valuable
consideration when they
look toward a resale or
trade-in years down the
road.

Remember November!

Winter came suddenly last year and slippery
roads sent a rush of people to the nearest tire
store to have their snow tires installed.

consequently, we, like many other stores, were
swamped, causing long lineups and frustrated

customers.

so you won't get caught napping this winter
we're offering an Early Snow Bird special. So come
in and see us today and you'll have fond memories

of November.
