Benefits of Automaxi Roof Racks and Bars

August 31st, 2010

Mounting your bikes on your roof can be great option for transporting your bike to your favorite spot. Roof racks can be easily mounted to most roof base racks and it does not require much installation efforts. For vehicles without a trailer hitch, Automaxi Roof Racks and Bars is a much more secure and long-term solution than a trunk mounted rack and leaves access to your trunk wide open.

The main benefit of Automaxi Roof Racks and Bars is stability, because the bike can be easily transported on your car’s rooftop. The downward angle and low profile of the bike on the rack reduces wind resistance and noise as well. Some people also find it easier to load the bike without the added weight of the front wheel and stability of the bike when it is resting and not yet clamped.

Clay Your Car For a Smooth Surface

July 21st, 2010

Ever wonder why your car’s finish never feels as silky smooth as it did when you first drove it off the lot? It doesn’t take long for your paint, which once felt as smooth as glass, to feel like sandpaper with all kinds of little bumps and specs stuck to it -these are pollutants and contaminants your paint picks up from the road and the environment and they don’t come off when you simply wash your car.

This is where detail clay comes in – yes, it actually is clay!

Detail clay is perhaps one of the most innovative and effective product introductions to the car care industry. Invented in Japan in the late 1980’s, Automotive Detail Clay is a paint cleaning system designed to safely and effectively remove bonded surface contamination that is not removed with your normal car wash procedure.

For those who have never done it, rubbing a detail clay bar on your car does sound a little strange but it is actually very effective, quick, super easy and extremely safe! If you have never clayed your paint you will see what you have been missing within the first few passes with the clay bar.

Hawaiian Monk Seals Get Protection

June 10th, 2010

Prompted by the deaths of 3 Hawaiian monk seals last year, the state of Hawaii has made it a 3rd degree felony to intentionally harm or kill the endangered species.

Last year’s killings included a pregnant monk seal that was shot by an elderly man on Kauai who wanted to scare the seal off the beach so he could go fishing.

Upon signing the bill at the state capitol, Lt. Gov. James “Duke” Aiona said, “This is a strong statement in regards to our value and our treasure of the monk seal,”.

Under the new law, violators face five years in prison and a fine of up to $50,000.
