Fathers often have a car to go to work and if you are having trouble figuring out what to give, perhaps something for the car that he drives and how to aid in maintaining it to look better would be a great gift to consider. Among the things you can get include some products from Turtle Wax, the renowned car wax that has helped in car maintenance as far as retaining paint quality is concerned.

Turtle Wax suggests the following easy steps using high-quality car care products to help give dad a flawless-looking vehicle.

• Wash: The first step is to clean the vehicle of all surface contaminants. For best results, use a product that will deep clean the vehicle’s exterior and remove any stubborn dirt and stains. Turtle Wax ICE Car Wash is a clean-rinsing formula that is safe for all finishes.
• Wax: Waxing helps restore color and shine left behind from bad weather and road debris and leaves behind a protective barrier to help prevent scratches, swirl marks and other surface contaminants from damaging the finish. Turtle Wax ICE Liquid Polish goes on easy and creates exceptional shine. Unlike conventional waxes, ICE Liquid Polish can be applied in direct sunlight or on a hot surface without streaking or wax build-up.
• Wheels and Tires: In addition to washing and waxing the vehicle’s finish, cleaning and protecting wheels will help keep cars looking like new. Turtle Wax ICE Wheel & Tire Cleaner easily cuts through brake dust and road debris on all wheel and tire surfaces. The detachable unique ICE Edge Brush helps effortlessly clean intricate wheel areas.
• Interior: To prevent stains and permanent discoloration, it is important to clean interior surfaces, including carpeting, upholstery and inside door panels. Turtle Wax’s ICE Total Interior Care can be used on all interior surfaces and leaves behind a barrier and non-greasy shine.

This may seem to easy to give but at least you are giving your dad something that he can really find handy.

National Tire Safety Week is on June 8 to 13 and in line with this event, Discount Tire and AAA Show Your Card and Save are offering free tire checks for all motorists who visit any Discount Tire Store. So for motorists who are unsure about the current state of their tires, here is a chance for you to have a free checkup and avoid the problems of tire issues.

The inspection, which takes three to five minutes, includes a check of tire tread depth, tire age, air and a visual inspection by automotive technicians checking for cracks or breaks in the tire and objects, such as nails, embedded in the tire. Those bringing their vehicles to Discount Tire during the week will receive a free tire air gauge, tread depth gauge card and a list of tire safety tips. AAA members also receive a five percent discount on any purchases of wheels and tires.

This is a great way to avoid the usual road problems you may encounter with your vehicle. Further, it helps you avoid potential hazards such as accidents or having to pull over to change tires (assuming your spare tire is ok).

All Discount Tire shops follow standard operating hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. schedule on weekdays and up to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.
