Does Waterless Car Washing Work?

July 31st, 2008 by admin

There has been a lot of buzz circulating around lately for waterless car wash products. If you're not familiar with how they work, let me first explain. Essentially you spray a small panel of your car with a waterless car wash formula, let it sit for a few seconds, and wipe off with a microfiber towel. When I first heard about these products a cheesy infomercial popped into my head. But, in reality I was pleasantly surprised at their effectiveness.

That's a pretty good question. For as long as I have been alive (and that's 34 years), I have seen used car for sale ads at every corner. These days, it's one of the most popular online classified genres, not to mention being very popular with newspapers, magazines, radio and television.

Auto Accidents And Defective Seat Belts

July 29th, 2008 by admin

While it is estimated that nearly 15,000 lives are saved each year because of seat belts during automobile accidents, it is also estimated that nearly 10,000 deaths are the result of defective seat belts in car wrecks. The national campaign to get individuals to use their seat belts becomes more difficult when defective seat belts become the cause of an automobile driver's death.

Seat belts have the ability to better protect vehicle occupants from fatal accidents than anything else. According to federal statistics, in 2003, the use of seat belts saved nearly 15,000 lives nationwide. However, even more than 6,000 deaths per year are related to the improper use — or the failure to use — the proper seat belt restraints during a car crash.

Four-Square.  It's one of the most common car deal worksheets used today.  It's been around since the 80s.  It's designed to rip customers off.  How?  Normally, the 4 numbers in the squares do not directly include the only one that is important: Trade Difference.
