A good old-fashioned driveway car-washing, complete with hose and bucket, has long been a popular tradition in this country, and it still offers some clear benefits. It can be a great way to enjoy the nice weather, save a few bucks or just provide some much-needed pampering to your favorite set of wheels. And it can get your vehicle just as clean as an automated car wash—as long as you follow the tips recently provided by the friendly folks at Ford. When you tackle the exterior of your vehicle: Start by completely rinsing the car, and then keep it wet during the entire washing process to float dirt off the vehicle’s surface. Always choose a soap that has been specifically developed for cleaning vehicles. According to Gerry Bonanni, a senior engineer with Ford’s paint and body repair team, “Even a mild dishwashing liquid can strip wax protection and possibly cause waterspotting concerns.” Use a sponge or wool mitt for cleaning, and always keep them wet and sudsy; this helps get dirt off the surface of the vehicle instead of rubbing it in and possibly causing scratches. Start at the top of the vehicle, move down to its sides, and wash the bottom—where most of the dirt usually accumulates—last. Be sure to fully dry your vehicle with a water blade or soft towel. Don’t forget the wiper blades, which can be quickly cleaned with rubbing alcohol. To put a shine in your vehicle’s interior, the key is to always use the right cleaners. A clean, damp, white cotton cloth can be used to wipe down the instrument panel, interior trim areas, leather seats and gauge-cluster glass, all of which should be dried with a clean, dry, white cotton cloth. Leather seating surfaces also can be cleaned with a mild mixture of soap and water, while cloth seats, carpets, safety belts and other fabrics should be vaccumed to remove dust and dirt. And note that Ford does not recommend using household or glass cleaners on your vehicle’s interior. Instead, choose a cleaner specifically designed for automotive applications. More information on the proper cleaning and care of your vehicle can be found in its owner’s guide.

Ford Makes Driveway Car-Washing Easy and Fun with Tips and Video
As Ford stays on track to have five electric vehicles (EVs) on sale in the North American market by the end of 2012, the company is putting significant resources into making it easy for customers to find a place to recharge them—and not just by teaming with third parties to support the nation’s electric infrastructure. Ford engineers have worked just as hard to find the right place to locate the charging ports on the vehicles themselves. “After benchmarking multiple competitive vehicles, we found there wasn’t much consistency in charge port location ,” said Susan Curry, Ford Electrified Vehicle Technology Integration supervisor. “We wanted to give customers a location that made the most sense for them and would seem as simple as filling up at the gas station.” For Ford’s new electric vehicles, there was another consideration, too. While most people fill their gas tanks about once a week, or a little over 50 times a year, the company expects most EV drivers to plug in and disconnect their vehicles four times a day, which is some 1,500 times a year. That extra interaction meant it was extra important for Ford to get the placement of the charging ports just right, since drivers would be using them so often. After gaining input directly from potential customers, as well as studying those other vehicles, Ford was quick to rule out two seemingly obvious possibilities: The very front and rear of the vehicle. That’s because both locations could have caused problems if customers had to deal with things like packed snow, dead insects or other road debris, and even fender benders. The solution? Incorporating the port high on the quarter panel on the driver’s side of the vehicle, just aft of the wheel opening, in a place that “keeps the charge port in sight before the customer enters or exits the car, for an easy reminder to unplug or recharge,” according to Mary Smith, Ford Electrified Vehicle Technology Integration supervisor. “It creates an intuitive placement for owners that also has aesthetic appeal.” That appeal is designed to reach other drivers as well, because the charging port can be illuminated to indicate the vehicle’s charge state—and ensure that passers-by and other motorists know they’re looking at one of Ford’s breakthrough energy savers. And you can be sure they’ll be looking at more and more of them in the very near future, since the first Ford EV —the Ford Transit Connect Electric—went on sale to commercial customers in 2010, and the Ford Focus Electric is slated to debut later this year.

Ford Works To Make Plugging In Easier
The latest news and information from Ford courtesy of Sound Ford!
When it comes to summer travel plans, “Many drivers will be wasting fuel—and money—if their tires are under-inflated,” according to David Rohweder, Ford’s tire and wheel expert. “Properly inflated tires play an essential role in enabling vehicles to achieve their best fuel economy.”
In fact, Ford says that keeping tires correctly inflated can reduce fuel costs by 3 to 4 percent, which adds up quickly with today’s high fuel prices. And properly inflated tires are vital to vehicle safety, too, which is another reason to follow the automaker’s recently released tips on the topic.
It all starts with one notable reminder: Even though today’s vehicles are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), Rohweder points out that watching for a warning light can’t replace proper tire maintenance. So Ford recommends checking all of a vehicle’s tires—including the spare—at least once a month, using a digital tire-inflation gauge that is accurate to .5 pounds per square inch (PSI). In addition:
And remember, for more information on taking care of your tires, be sure to check your vehicle’s owner’s guide.
