    Winter Preparation

    Winterize your vehicle:
    - Apply a polymer sealant and a suitable LSP (Collinite 476 and / or 845)
    - Check battery, belt (s) and ignition system
    - Add or test coolant and adjust as needed
    - Add “anti-freeze" washer fluid
    - Install ‘winter’ wiper blades
    - Test heater, rear screen defrosters and hoses
    - Change oil with suitable winter rating and change oil filter
    - Scraper, gloves, sand and snow shovel in trunk (plus a good flashlight)
    - Install winter mats to protect carpet
    Auto International's "A", "B", & "C" Paint Neutralization System – is a three step neutralization and wash system formulated to remove industrial fallout, rail dust, hard water deposits, acid rain residue, salt and other forms of pollutants, will help to safeguard the vehicle from corrosion.

    Heres a tip, keep a pair of old floormats in the trunk. Several times ive gotten caught on ice, and had to put them behind the rear tires to gain traction, works like a charm
