When temperatures drop, vinyl and rubber lose flexibility and they can crack. To keep them supple, apply a rubber and vinyl protectant regularly through Fall and Winter.

Use New 128 oz. Lexol Vinylex. Vinylex is a customer favorite for a good reason. Of the five patents that govern silicone protectants, Vinylex carries two of them. That’s serious protection for vinyl and rubber auto surfaces. Use it inside and outside your vehicle to provide UV screening and plasticizer renewal. 

While you’re detailing your tires, don’t forget to check the pressure. Tires expand and contract with changing temperatures. In cool weather, the air contracts inside the tire. The tire can draw in to the point of affecting traction and handling. Protect yourself and your passengers by checking your tire pressure monthly with a Accutire Talking Programmable Tire Guage.

Maintain your car battery with a Battery Tender™. During the winter, many drivers trade in their convertible for a 4 wheel drive vehicle. If you have a stored vehicle, don’t let the battery go to waste. A Battery Tender™ battery charger maintains the battery by constantly monitoring and feeding the battery when needed. A Battery Tender™ battery charger plugs into an AC outlet and transfers amps to your battery to keep it operational. When you return to your vehicle, the battery will be as fresh as the day you left it. Autogeek has 12 Volt Battery Tender™ battery chargers, which work in today’s vehicles. We also have a 6 Volt Batter Tender™ Plus for classic cars.
