Laundry, lawn mowing, taking out the trash, and picking up my room-all things I love not doing. In the grand scheme of things, though, ever since I was old enough to realize that I couldn't care less for those chores, the female role model in my life has constantly reminded me how necessary they are. And as we all know, Mother's always right, right? My same distaste for cleaning still holds true to this day, so whenever something is made available that will lessen the labor of the hated chores, I jump right on it.
As coincidence would have it, Mothers Polish, the makers of top-quality polishes, waxes, and cleaners, just came out with some products that would ultimately make the tedious chore of keeping my classic truck clean and shiny not so tedious. Actually, Mothers' all new FX Wheel Cleaner and the revolutionary PowerBall polishing tool not only made it easier to keep one of the most difficult areas of any vehicle looking nice and new, they almost made it something to look forward to doing...almost.
Anyone will tell you that with billet wheels-which aren't cheap to begin with-proper care and cleaning are not just a never-ending effort, they're a pain in the backside, especially if the wheels have been neglected for any length of time. I don't know about you, but I have a hard enough time keeping grease out from under my fingernails, so having the "after-polish" embedded from my wrists to my fingertips is not highly anticipated. With the aid of FX Wheel Cleaner to initially rid the wheels (all types) of unsightly brake dust buildup compounded with road grime with but minor effort, the PowerBall (along with Mothers Billet Metal Polish paste) furthers the ease of the job by assuming all of the time-consuming polishing in minutes, not hours. In the past, you could easily devote an afternoon to cleaning and polishing billet wheels-and making a mess of yourself in the process. With Mothers, you can have your wheels shined up before halftime's over, and still enjoy a cold one or two before the game resumes.
While the list of my undesired upkeep chores is not quite as long as the list of chores remaining to be done on my truck, one that stands out deals with paint-oxidized, neglected paint to be exact. Sure, many of my vehicles don't even make it to the point of shiny paint, but those that do all experience the negative effects of life-tree sap, paint overspray, and items in the atmosphere (including metal particles!) that wreak havoc on paint finishes. The contaminants are gremlins to regular washing; they don't respond.
Thanks to Mothers Clay Bar Paint Saving System, you can beat the gremlins and maintain that fresh, smooth, and most importantly, shiny paint finish you paid for (or even applied yourself). Used by car detailers for years, The Clay Bar literally lifts the unwanted material out of the finish without harming it like aggressive compounds do. Even used on its own (must be used "wet" with provided California Gold Showtime Instant Detailer) with polish or wax follow up, you'll see immediate results. Of course, leaving your paint unprotected is never a good idea, so continuing with Mothers Carnauba Wax (also provided) is recommended, as it will not only give your paint protection, but an amazing shine.
With all the choices a consumer has when it comes to car care products, it's easy to see how people could get overwhelmed. Play it safe. Stick to Mothers, and you'll never go wrong!
