Window Cleaning Secrets

Filed Under Fast Cars | Leave a Comment

At first glance, window cleaning seems easy enough of a job to do.You can ask any young kid to clean your windows, for pay, and watch them jump at the chance. But the big problem you'll find, is once they do it, they will probably tell you they won't ever do that again. The problem with window cleaning however is not in the actual work involved, it's in how you do it, when you do it, and what tools you use.  Take it from my years as a San Diego Window cleaning company, if you want someone to enjoy cleaning your windows, or if you want to do it yourself, keep some of these tips below in mind.

If you wash your windows when the sun is directly on them, you will soon realize that this makes ugly streaks that don't seem to go away no matter how many times you clean them! It is frustrating, but knowing something as simple as when to wash them like when the sun passes by and is not shining on the window, or when it is so hot, can you save you a lot of time and frustration.

Some San Diego window washing tips that take the frustration and hassle out of window cleaning are:

How you hold the squeegee counts!

When holding the squeegee, make sure you're angling it in the direction of the water flow. If the water is running down to your feet, move the squeegee sideways causing the water being squeegeed to go down to the part you haven't cleaned yet. If you're on a rooftop for example and the down angle is above your head, squeegee forward again so the water flows to the part not yet touched. If you go against the flow water will build up and flow out the sides of the squeegee causing streaks.

Wiping the squeegee blade is very important!

Some people try to squeegee the whole window one stroke at a time without wiping the blade until the end. This never has worked well and it will cause a streak by the water that is left on the blade. Every time you try to get that streak (which in essence is two times in the same spot) you will make another streak.  By wiping the blade after each stroke you avoid this problemand get the window cleaned much faster without retracing steps.

Make the streaks overlap

After every stroke, make the next stroke overlap (about an inch into the dry area) and make your next stroke. If you are pointing the squeegee to make the water fall downward to the part of the window that is wet and you are drying the blade after every stroke, you won't make
another streak on the window you will have to do over. Don't be tempted to just squeegee right on the line, this will make splashes right into the dry area and will be very unproductive.

Use plenty of water

If you don't use enough water you will have a hard time making perfect frictionless strokes with the squeegee. be generous with your water use and always if you can, use sideway strokes on the water that is dripping down towards the wet part of the glass.

So that's it.  Some easy to apply San Diego window cleaning tips for all you do it your selfers.Follow these simple pieces of advice and you will be happy with how your windows turn out.

The Honda Insight vs the Toyota Prius

Filed Under Fast Cars | Leave a Comment

Honda has officially released the new Insight.Costing over $23,000; the new Prius is a couple of grand more than the new kid on the block; the Insight. Costing a few grand less earns the Insight the honor and distinction of cheapest hybrid in the U.S. 

The Eco Assist feature will improve fuel economy be making sure that the driver does not accelerate too much and therefore waste gas.The ECON setting can be switched off so that the insight will produce more HP, or when left on the car will help you drive more efficiently.   At the heart of this hybrid is the latest integrated motor assist system, also known as the IMA® system. Th IMA system is cheaper to manufacture, lighter than the original, and adds to the overall interior space. I-VTEC helps the Insight where power and efficiency is concerned.  Features included on some Insight models are: alloy wheels, cruise control, 6 speaker audio with USB interface, steering wheel mounted paddle shifters, Stability Assist, and a satellite navigation system with voice recognition. The Toyota has been the reigning king of the hybrid market for years now, but with the low price of the Insight, Honda is aiming to take away that title. 

On the other side of the coin, the Toyota Prius has a 160 horsepower 1.8L engine and features three different driving modes. These 3 moeds include the power mode which of course adds more power, the EV mode which allows the Prius to run on electricity alone, and the ECO mode which nets the best fuel economy.Toyota has a new Smart Collision system called the PCS which is available on the new Prius.Just set the PCS and the Prius will slow down by itself if the car ahead of you suddenly hits his brakes. Toyota has added some buttons to the wheel to make the driving experience a bit more safe.

Although the Honda is the cheaper of the hybrid competitors, the Prius has the better fuel efficiency and is noticeably larger than the Insight.Early test put the Insight at a combine fuel economy of 41 miles per gallon, and the Prius is reported to get a 46 combined miles per gallon rating.Traveling more than 20,000 miles in only 365 days (when gas is $2.50 a gallon), you would spend $1219 in fuel on the Insight and $1086 on the Prius. When you drive a Prius, the amount of gas saved compared to an Insight is about 53 gallons, so to cover the lower price you would have to drive for 27 years.  So although the Prius gets better gas mileage; the Insight overcomes that hurdle by having such a low MSPR!

The Classic Car of the Mercedes SLK R170

Filed Under Fast Cars | Leave a Comment

 

 

These initials come from Sporty, Light, and Short (or Kurz in German). The SLK R170 was Mercedes first take at shrinking the popular SL sports car. In 1996, the SLK R170 first appeared to raving fans. Sales out of the gate started at 50,000 units. Though, time and other competitors moving forward aged the SLK. The SLK was starting to get unfavorable reviews against its direct competitor, the Audi TT. Also, it became a technological has-been.

The SLK's electrical hard top remains an interesting feature, but its engine is reviewed as rough and harsh. The steering was taken from the C-class, the recirculating ball, which yielded a sluggish response.

Going head-to-head against other cars in its segment, the TT Roadster, the BMW Z3, and the Alfa Romero Spider, the SLK R170 still visually is the winner. While its engine wasn't as powerful as the others, this is preferred by North American drivers who desired relaxed driving styles.

The distinctive feature for this Mercedes was its retractable hardtop. Although going with the top-down, you should still be equipped with a Mercedes SLK R170 windscreen / windblocker / wind deflector. This automated, retractible hard top follows the likeness of the Mitsubishi 3000 GT Spyder, Peugeot 206cc, Lexus SC, Mercedes SL Class, and the Chrysler Sebring.

To address the shortcomings, the 2/3 liter Kompressor came out in 2000. This car was fitted with extra power, a change in body design, and is more nimble in handling. The engine fixed some of its initial roughness. Mercedes did improve the transmission experience, smoothing out the shifting. A six-speed transmission was installed, which came over straight from the E-class. There was an automatic option, providing five speeds. Going with the top down still invites all of the backlash, needing a Mercedes SLK R170 windscreen, windblocker, wind deflector. Also, the chassis was improved for a smoother ride and safety improvements.

These changes are subtle, adding up to nothing revolutionary. The Mercedes SLK R170 is still an impressive car that puts a lump in the throat.
