Need Advice On Keeping Up Car's Appearance, Performance? Turn To Turtle Wax Web Site

    CHICAGO, Sept. 19 A beautiful, shiny car reflects on you.
If you're looking for advice on keeping up your vehicle's appearance, turn to
a helpful Web site -- http://www.turtlewax.com -- from the experts at Turtle Wax, the
world leader in car care products.
    The Turtle Wax Web site has been polished up with more information and
easy-to-use tips on how to use car care products for top results, including
car washes, waxes, polishes, cleaners, compounds, protectants, and engine
performance chemicals.  The site helps drivers clean, shine and protect their
vehicles' exterior and keep interiors looking and smelling like new.  Turtle
Wax also offers advice on performance chemicals and the proper use of fuel and
oil additives.
    Tips on car care include how to properly wash and wax cars to avoid
streaking and water spots as well as how to get rid of bugs and tar on the
exterior.  The details of interior care are also covered, from cleaning the
dashboard and trim to proper care of carpets and upholstery.
    One section answers frequently asked questions, explaining, for example,
why clear coat finishes need waxing and why severe oxidation occurs and how to
remove it.
    Want to wax your car but don't have much time?  Looking to restore the
finish on a car that has scratches and swirls?  Bothered by a strange odor in
your car?  The Turtle Wax Web site has an interactive product usage zone that
lets you choose from a list of descriptions, such as "quick application,"
"scratch, swirl remover" or "odor eliminator" to find the right product to fit
your needs.
    Turtle Wax also tells the difference and advantages of various products,
including the difference between car waxes, polishes and polishing compounds,
and how to know which is best for your vehicle and car care routine.
    To help drivers protect and maintain engines, there's information on using
CD-2 and Marvel performance chemicals.
    You can even find out additional uses of Turtle Wax car appearance
products to clean, shine and protect household items, such as fixtures and
appliances.
