WE SHINE RIDES AND HELP YOU FEEL GREAT WHEN YOU DRIVE

![]() Oh no… not water spots on my new car! Yes, that can happen!-- a lot when water is plentiful. And it seems to be the case right now. With the stray sprinkler spraying your car, during the day, or the use of hard water from a hose when you washed your car at home, last weekend the sources are everywhere. Some of them can even show up in the "standing water” effects after those July afternoon storms that have occurred this month in the Gallatin Valley. It is a good idea to make sure that you stay familiar with what hard water stains can look like and the potential trouble they can cause your vehicle. Do water spots begin to appear on your vehicle awhile after the effects of heavy rain or after a run in with splashes from a dirty puddle? Appearing as blotch-like “ringed” stains, showing up as areas of discoloration, they can be plentiful before you know it. After all, when you are really “on the go” during a busy summer, it is likely that you will begin to forget how often you pass through those dirty puddles of water. Your vehicle becomes a catch-all for extra amounts of... water: water that has been forming in low places on the ground and collecting various minerals. When this occurs, it is a good idea to deal with the results sooner rather than later. It is all of those extra minerals that can really cause damage to your pristine paint job. Are you ready to deal with the need before it gets larger? They are not something that generally come off with a simple water, rag and car soap. They are often on a “deeper level” and can “etch” themselves into the side of your vehicle with prolonged residency. So, if it is dangerous to let them continue to grow until there is damage on your car, what can you do to alleviate the problem? A clay bar and the right solution can help, yet sometimes it requires more than this. If the stains are “deep” it may be time to have a full detail and receive a buffing job, across the vehicle paint. Not only will it take away those deep stains, but it can also help remove scratches that have come from the normal wear and tear that vehicles encounter. As often as you drive the vehicle, you want it to stay clean, especially after dealing with those hard to remove spots when they form on the vehicles’ exterior. A little wax over the top can bring out that original color and protect things substantially, with the proper maintenance. Imagine it: how great to see that shine with a reflection on the side of a vehicle after a fresh detail! When you are dealing with the difficult removal of water stains that can seem impossible to clean or dissolve on your own, ASK US, and we’ll put it through the proper treatment to leave your vehicle sparkling as it pulls out of our shop.

Beginning with a military need for jeeps from the U.S,A. with a name that came from a Japanese man named "Toyoda," they have become a blend of sport and luxury, adapting over the years to the changing market. Originally, the Toyota Jeep was developed to meet U.S. needs during the Korean war, as Japan became a military supplier during this time, and it started out as a fairly simple Jeep, most useful for transporting about 4 people across a rough road in many hard conditions. The body changed, with the decades, as popularity of needed vehicles came with the territory and functionality versus form constituted a growing trend of larger vehicles. It began with a reputation as a reliable, durable vehicle; off-road performance was very important. Always seeking to improve stability in its handling became the ongoing challenge, as well as increasing comfort and performance during the ride. It continued to gain interest as it changed to a station wagon body in the late 1960’s and through the 70’s, as the desire for passenger room and better space for cargo increased. With an increased amount of recognition, the Land Cruiser has been ideal for handling capabilities within “bad road” driving. It has been a platform for 4 wheel drive vehicles and has continued the growth of vehicles that could function between 2 and 4 wheel drive. It has been gaining an increasing popularity as a versatile vehicle with people from many countries and environments. With time the demand also increased for more fashionable and passenger car-like characteristics. The needs have grown through the years as different environments constituted a greater demand for the vehicle to function within a variety of landscapes. The Land Cruiser has continued to improve with newer technologies and used them to improve the riding performance for passengers, while often leading the way into better SUV performance. How do you retain the essence of a traditional Land Cruiser 4WD while satisfying the growing demand for an even better on-road performance? A softer suspension can make a more comfortable ride, but the problem is that it also tends to increase instability and can cause the passenger to feel unsettled. Because it was a vehicle that needed to function in many settings, it was necessary that it be ready to drive into a jungle or find a way along an almost impassable road, essentially with off- road capabilities. As often as a new style is brought out, there are needs for changes, and the Toyota has gone through many over the years. Finding the best fit for the demands while staying true to the original style, has helped the Land Crusier navigate the automotive industry through decades of change.

Not only will our detailing job bring out more of the original grand look of that fine piece of equipment, but it will also help keep your drivers happy. With all the runs in between locations around the country, and limited stopping time, it is good for the semi to pull in for a "time-out", as it consistently must endure so much! Its driver might well appreciate a little down time to refresh as the vehicle is shown extra attention and undergoes a real change, exterior as well as interior. Most everything about a semi truck is larger than any normal commuter vehicle, so when we start cleaning one, it takes a little while to make sure that all surfaces are reached. An interior detail, will cover the whole region of the cab, transforming it after any extra travel buildup has occurred as well as the remains of many leftover meals; we can take the dirt out and begin to add a little shine. With such a full sized vehicle, we are starting with an increased amount of wear and tear that truly shows how well-used that truck really is. If it is the first time to give yours a thorough clean, bring it in and we will look over its essential needs and make sure you can appreciate the drive a little more. You spend a lot of time on the road, so it is an amazing help to have a clean vehicle. Our services can differ according to what type of truck you drive. We have special pricing for sleeper cabs and day cabs to fit your large vehicle needs. It's obvious that the larger the vehicle, the more exterior surface needs work, and when it comes to commercial vehicles, there is plenty to think about. In order to keep your large vehicle looking fresh, we make sure to remove old decals, stickers, and unneeded adhesive, giving you a fresh, clean surface for a better display. There are options for bringing the shine from a metal surface. Aluminum polishing is an extra charge, but it can make your metal surface look clear enough to see your own reflection. We handle other requests, including frame painting (black only) so you may want to consider this additionally, for an extra charge. And yes, we clean your vents. We are very careful with your electronics. We clean inside all compartments as well, so please remove anything that you want kept safe, beforehand. In order to avoid loss, we ask you to keep those personal belongings separated from the area being cleaned within your storage compartments. Remember, if you have vinyl, plastic, wood, and leather, we offer cleaning methods for these various textures and treatments to meet your needs. If you think about all the work that goes into cleaning a full size semi-truck, with all the gears and the extra grease as well as by-products that are produced as your large vehicle traverses the nation, consider giving it a break from the constant running it goes through and allowing it to receive some much needed extra care with a lot of water and cleaner to spruce it up. From damaged restored aluminum surfaces, to mirror-like shine, our detail job-- which also includes freshening up your carpet, upholstery shampoo, and windows-- can strengthen your part in the trucking industry, helping you to leap forward with renewed excellence and satisfaction. ![]() Posted by Bryon: Bryon is the promotional marketing man for SHINES AUTOS METICULOUSLY.
