Cars are in need of spring cleaning, too

It is inevitable this time of year--you wake up on a Saturday morning to beautiful, warm weather. When you step outside, you notice seemingly all of your neighbors have come out of hibernation and are puttering around their yards. While some are raking gardens and others tend to dead leaves and broken branches, many have excavated their finally-thawed hoses and are giving their cars a much-needed "spring" cleaning.

This is the perfect time to pull out the Wash Stick Ezidry from Home Right, Minneapolis, Minn. It's easier than lugging around a bucket and hose to wash your car or truck, because the Wash Stick holds the cleaning solution in its handle. Just fill a bucket with your cleaner, immerse the mitt, and pull back on the Wash Stick to fill. Push in on the handle to dispense the solution while washing with the flexible, synthetic lambs-wool mitt. Next, use the Ezidry twin-blade squeegee to dry the car. It contours to round and flat surfaces and will not scratch. The handle extends up to 4'8", so it's great for SUVs, RVs, boats, etc. It's also easy on your back, as you can reach low areas without all that bending.

To wax and polish your now squeaky-clean ride, try Home Right's Velocity Waxer. This cordless, lightweight, orbital polisher has a 10" buffer pad and built-in five-ounce liquid wax reservoir, so you don't have to stop to apply more wax. The 18-volt battery gives you one hour of run time on a single charge--plenty of time to get a high-gloss shine on your car, truck, SUV, etc.
