MEGUIAR’S HOT SHINE TYRE SHINE A lot of premium workshops return their customer’s cars freshly washed
Providing a complimentary car wash often generates greater gratitude and appreciation than shaving hundreds of dollars of profit off a service/ repair bill. Meguiar’s says that adding a tyre dressing is an absolute must as it is that finishing touch that takes any car wash from pretty good to pretty perfect. It says what customers don’t appreciate is when you use a cheap, nasty tyre dressing that flings all up the side of their car – especially when it starts attracting unsightly dirt and road grime. Meguiar’s says its Hot Shine Tyre Shine is super quick and super easy to apply thanks to its trigger action spray applicator. It reportedly gives tyres a deep, black wet look, and thanks to its higher solids content, it lasts for weeks, instead of days – even after rain and regular washing. Meguiar’s says it doesn’t sling off and end up all over the paint, explaining that it has highly waterresistant polymers combined with patented antiozonant technology to keep your tyres looking blacker longer, while preventing cracking, browning and premature ageing.
As such, Meguiar’s Hot Shine Tyre Shine not only keeps tyres looking all shiny and nice, but it also keeps them young and resilient. The two-way adjustable trigger nozzle (narrow spray and wide spray) makes a potentially messy job so much neater and cleaner and also gives you the necessary control to dial in the spray pattern to suit short-sided, low-profile tyres, all the way up to tall SUV and offroad monsters. Also, by varying the amount of product applied, you can vary the level of gloss. And if you happen to add too much product, Meguiar’s says that is no problem as any excess is easily buffed off with a cloth. For more information, visit www.meguiars.com.au

Morey Oil says the main reason people like oil bath hubs over grease hubs is the oil bath hubs have a less involved maintenance schedule than greaseable hubs which require daily maintenance. Steering axles and oil filled hubs hold minimal amounts of oil, and left untreated this oil can tend to burn quickly. Standard oil has more of a chance of experiencing a higher temperature, resulting in burning of the oil. If this happens you will then have the risk of hardening your seals. Once your oil is burnt you now have a less effective oil, and an underperforming oil is not going to lubricate to the specifications it should and can cause considerable damage to your bearings. Once your oil is burnt, it starts to harden your seals and these seals will start to crack and leak. Leaking seals are a common cause to damaged bearings and damaged axles as there is not enough oil in the system to lubricate, leaving you with costly repairs. Morey Oil says that when choosing an oil filled hub, you should use Morey’s Hub Oil Lubricant because you should go with a brand you can trust. It states Morey Oil have put together the perfect
blend of specialty oils and oil conditioners designed to improve the life of the Oil Filled Hubs. It explains that Morey’s Hub Oil Lubricant has been specifically designed to assist in better lubrication, lower oil temperature, reduce seal leaks, reduce oil loss, help to rejuvenate older seals, extend wear life, keep new seals newer for a longer period of time, and also prolong your bearing life. Morey’s Hub Oil Lubricant can also be used in steering axles and boat trailer oil filled hubs.
