IRVINE,
Calif., –
Thinking about your car's paint is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when dealing with the daunting prospects of a close by wildfire. But the chemcicals in the falling ash that settle on your car can do a lot of damage if they become wet.
“The
elements in wood ash include calcium, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium,
which are inert and have no effect on finishes in their dry form,” says
Meguiar. “There is, however, a serious risk of chemical etching on
automotive paint finishes when these elements are mixed with water. Leaving an
ash-covered car outside on wet nights or foggy mornings may very well result in
chemical etching and, in some cases, serious damage to a vehicle’s
painted surfaces.”

by Michael Rose Irvine,
Calif. – For
more than 100 years, Meguiar's, the leader in automotive appearance care, has

top prize honor of “Best of Show,” achieved their flawless
appearances using Meguiar's car care products.
More

subjected to the intense judging that sets the Pebble Beach Concours apart from
all other car shows. After the awards ceremony, it was discovered that 24 of
the 28 “Best in Class” winners had been detailed inside and out
with Meguiar's products. For the last eleven years, 235 out of the 273
vehicles that were judged “Best in Class,” have used
Meguiar’s car care products.
“We
have helped car guys make their cars perfect at the Concours d’Elegance
for the past eleven years,” said Barry Meguiar, president of
Meguiar’s. “But we also make our products easy to use for those who
simply want to impress their neighbors, family and friends with the sleek coat
and shine of their car.”
