The cleanliness says much of us. It is our letter of credence on having dressed. Of equal way we must support our completely neat motorcar. Especially if we go to an interview of work, to a restaurant, we have an appointment, come to house or inclusive when we go to the work. Who would like rising to a dirty vehicle? To nobody! To wash his car it is not necessary to invest either a lot of money or time. Although it is true that many places offer service of cleanliness for cars, when you could one save the expense and the nuisance of waiting in the line, taking simply a water hose and doing it itself.
Next we will give him some basic and simple advices to wash his car:
Preparation. - First of all it must assemble all the materials and hardware that it will use for the wash. His Allied Forces in this war against the dirt will be a bucket or bucket, two or three sponges, liquid soap (a specific soap for the wash of the car is the best), several dry towels, and a thick and strong hose that could support big water potency.
Place. - Park his motorcar in a shaded place so that the sun does not dry it before you do it. The heat of the sun can dry the liquid of the soap before you eliminate it and there will stay the surface of the opaque bodywork.
The first cleanliness. - Take the hose and spray the water for the whole surface of his motorcar. It is not a question of only washing the top area. Be specially careful in not forgetting the low part as the area of the tires.
Soap and rub. - After having given this first cleanliness only of water, fill the bucket or bucket of soapy water. Take a clean sponge, and rub it with circular movements for the whole surface of the car (doors, windows, hood and trunk). The process realizes several times and in a constant way, pressing with the sponge to eliminate the dirt. Be careful do not press too loudly since it can scratch the painting. Has his sponge absorbed many dirt and does his car still need one spent more of soap? Then take another sponge (a piece of news) and keep on washing with her.
For below and the tires. - As we have already said, it is important to clean the low part of the car. Especially if we have gone of trip to some mountainous and rainy place where many mud particles can have stayed. If you have a van or his car is high it can deposit power under the car and from this position wash this area, where it will be easier to do it exactly since it will have a better sight to him. If his car is low and a clinging to the soil, simply fall with the hose for these areas, try to stoop a little so that the water enters with entire facility. With the sponge eliminate the dirt of the tires and then rinse with water.
Review and drying. - When he has stopped washing his vehicle of a peripheral way, it begins to take attention to the outlines and places of difficult cleanliness. Make sure that there does not stay any track either of dirt or of soap. Did he already verify that everything is perfectly clean? Then it is an hour of the drying. Take a dry towel and spend it on the bodywork of the car. If the towel that it has been already using absorbed all the water then put it to a side and take other one that is dry and continues with the process.
Like new. - I list, his car is completely shining as to give a return and to show it in the whole city. Did it see simple what is?

New Traverse de Chevrolet shares the SUV/crossover platform with other cars of GM like Buick Enclave, Saturn Outlook and the GMC Arcadia. The idea of design of the Traverse is still a model familiar crossover, with the biggest space possible and versatility, but with a modest fuel consumption.
Chevrolet has done big propaganda on the economy of fuel of the Traverse, which ranges between 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 MPG in the freeway. Surprisingly, in a trip that I did of 300 miles, I obtained an economy I mediate of up to 24 MPG, but of course, handling very gently at the authorized maximum speed, and minimizing any type of unnecessary rapid acceleration.
The experience of handling of the Traverse is agreeable. The front seats are perfectly comfortable and the frill with telescopic adjustment facilitates to find the position of ideal handling.
The Traverse can arrange itself with two seats type armchair in the second tier, or with a seat type bank that raises the entire passengers capacity to eight. The third tier is sufficiently wide to sit to two adults without problem, or to three children.
It helps to park. - The option of later camera for parking assistance is almost forced for such a big and long vehicle, and fortunately the prices of this technology are more and more accessible. The system works to the perfection, providing a clear later image to us at any time of the day.
Safety. - Being a familiar car and thanks to his team of engineers and designers women, the Traverse does not spare effort in safety elements. There are available frontal, side air bags and Superiors, brakes ABS, electronic distribution of braking, control of haulage, control of stability, electronic control against volcaduras and air pressure monitor for the tires.
The Traverse has obtained the highest almost qualifications of safety expressed by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), with five stars in almost all the tests led by the institution.

The smallest cars are the most efficient as for fuel yield, but the insurances sector says that they go out damaged of the shocks with bigger vehicles.
In tests results announced on Tuesday, the 14th, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (Institute of Insurances for the Safety in the Freeways, IIHS for his initials in English) found that the drivers of the Smart "Fortwo", the Sling Fit and Toyota Yaris, all models 2009, would suffer serious wounds in the legs and the head in frontal shocks to 40 mph with medium vehicles.
" Good reasons exist to buy mini cars. They are more accessible and they consume less gasoline, but that is at the cost of the safety, as they relieve clearly our essays", affirmed the president of the institute, Adrian Lund.
The manufacturers of the tiny motorcars said that “the tests simulated shocks of high speed that rarely take place in the reality”.
They added that the tests repeated old arguments of the sector of the insurances against the most strict norms on efficiency in the fuels consumption.
The institute supports that the norms in study, which force to a major yield in miles terms for gallon of fuel, might lead to the manufacture of smaller and light vehicles, which would be less sure.
" If this argument takes to the umpteenth potency, we all should lead semi-tows and the current tendency of the society is exactly the opposite", indicated Dave Schembri, president of Smart USA.
The sales of small cars increased hard in 2008, when the price of the gasoline overcame 4 dollars the gallon, but they fell down when the prices stepped back to 2 dollars the gallon and the economic crisis affected on the sales of cars.
The small cars are accessible – the prices of three tested cars range between 12.000 and 18.000 dollars - and come to 30 miles per gallon.

In his fifth period and 74ta career, Network Bull released in the list of triumphant racing teams in the Formula One thanks to the brilliant deployment of Sebastien Vettel in the rain on having obtained on Sunday a top victory to top in the Big Award of China
The victory of the German pilot in the Circuit of Shanghai broke the hegemony of Brawn GP, the novice racing team that it swept in Australia and Malaysia in the beginning of a world cup that has altered the established order of the F1.
Vettel demonstrated more than not at all his skill to the frill, without there having to affect the diffusers, the KERS or any another aerodynamic help. His was an assertion of that is outlined like the next big star of the sport.
Also it was a victory for double entry for Network Bull, since his Australian partner Mark Webber located second.
The Englishman Jenson Button, who went out airy with Brawn in the two valid first ones, this time had to be content with the third place, ahead of his Brazilian companion Rubens Barrichello.
Button commands the pilots' classification with a difference of six points on Barrichello. Vettel is third, to 11 points of the leader.
Thanks to the doublet, Network Bull now is second in the builders' championship and the credit is for his mechanics who managed to repair a breakdown of the axis of his single-seaters that on Saturday it affected them during the classification.
" We execute a fantastic strategy and the work of the team was tremendous to have to both ready racing cars after the problems of the previous day", expressed Vettel, who celebrated his second victory in the F1. His previous victory was last year in the GP of Italy, like pilot of Bull Rosso, subsidiary team of Network Bull.
McLaren, on the other hand, achieved his best result of the year, with the Finn Heikki Kovalainen and the Englishman Lewis Hamilton fifth sixth and, respectively, forward of the Toyota of the German Timo Glock. The three benefited from a strategy of only one stopped in boxes, while the others did two. The Bull Rosso of the Swiss Sebastien Buemi remained eighth.
Although he always led, Vettel had his difficulties. Apart from the rain, his Network Bull was assaulted behind by Buemi.
And although Brawn did not monopolize the privilege position in the podium, Button proved to be liked for adding points in the middle of very difficult conditions to drive, since the rain minimized the visibility.
" It was scaring truly", admitted Button. "The third place is like a mitigation. There are good points", it added.
The bad luck was with the German Adrian Sutil and I forced India. For lack of five returns by the end, Subtle one it was located sixth and it seemed that it was going to give him his first points until his tires betrayed him and it should have gone out.
The Spanish Fernando Alonso, whose Renault divided second in the broiler, stayed in a ninth disappointing place.
" Everything what might go out badly, has gone out badly. Every thing that we were doing was going out for us the other way round. I am not disappointed, but it bothers a little that everything always goes out badly in the beginning of the this year", Alonso complained.
(BOX 1)
FERRARI DOES NOT RAISE HEAD
It is his worst period in almost 30 years
The happiness in Network Bull contrasted with the sorrow in Ferrari.
The Italians continue without raising head and for third followed career they went away with the empty hands, in his worst beginning of period from 1981.
The Brazilian Felipe Massa should have retired for an electrical flaw and the Finn Kimi Raikkonen entered tenth.
" All of us must work together to go out of this situation", affirmed Massa. "The team is joined and there exists a real will to change the things as soon as it is possible", it supported.
" We have to support the calmness", added Stefano Domenicali, Ferrari's chief. "It is not necessary to enter panic, because then it will be worse", it pronounced itself.
