Breathe Deep With Your Cabin Air Filter

Bad air quality while you're driving around Denver is nothing to sneeze at. But seriously, more and more vehicles these days come equipped with a cabin air filter. Since they're fairly new on the scene, a lot of folks don't know about them yet.

These filters clean the air in the passenger compartment, or cabin, of your car or truck. They do the same job as the furnace filter you have at home. They can filter out particles as small as thee microns. By contrast, a grain of sand is about 200 microns.

So your cabin air filer can clean out dust, pollution, pollen and spores, to keep the air in your car nice and clean. And just like your furnace filter, they need to be replaced when they get dirty. Check your owner's manual, but they typically need to be replaced every 12,000-15,000 miles.

The filter is usually either under the hood or under the dashboard. Some are a little tricky to get to, so you'll want to have your Denver Colorado service center, Mastermind Enterprises Auto Repair Shop, take care of replacing them.

Many people don't realize they have a cabin air filter and go to their shop complaining about a funky smell in the ventilation system or the air conditioning not getting their car cold enough. It turns out to be a cabin air filter that was long overdue for replacement – really dirty and starting to smell. A quick replacement and they were on their way and smelling fine.

People who are allergy sensitive can really benefit from a cabin air filter, as it keeps allergens to a minimum. If you're one of them, you'll want to stay on top of your filter replacement schedule. It also helps when the air conditioning is functioning properly, but not getting your car cold enough because the air flow is limited by a plugged or dirty cabin air filter.

Of course if you do a lot of driving in dusty or polluted conditions, you'll need to change your cabin air filter more often.

How to apply zymol wash and wax

 

This time I gonna do some testing with zymol wash and wax. This product content was stated as all  are natural ingredient. Such as coconut , carnauba wax and etc..

 

Let’s see what are the items ready here. Zymol auto wash, and zymol cleaner wax. I’m using the testing unit here to show you How to do.

Enjoy below photos!

 

Not to forget the other tools required, microfiber towel, pail and etc.

There are some stickers there that I need to remove. Here I’m using sticker and label remover by turtlewax. This product not just can use to remove sticker but also powerful in removing bug tar and water spot. Try it and you will surprise with it.

 

Spray the content on the sticker/stuff hat stick on your car…then let it penetrate into the sticker for a few minutes.

 After that wipe with toilet paper /tissue or anything damp cloth. Ta dang~~~ removed.

 

Now let’s move to zymol auto wash. Fill in water into pail. Pour content into the water pail. Follow the mixture suggest by manufacturer. But I don’t mind you wanna add more or less…you decide.. haha

 The way I do is the 2 pails/ 2 bucket method. Then wash with washing mist.

 

 I will clay immediate after a simple wash through.

 After washed and clay-ed, try to move your hand on the surface and feel the smoothness…wonderful touching surface here… you can dry with a chamois cloth.

 

There are some saying of chamois cloth which caused scratches, that happened probably the panel surface still with contaminants that not removed. Hence if you already clay-ed your car surface then chamois shouldn’t be the culprit to caused your surface any scratches. This is what need to mention here to clear some misunderstanding .

 

Now follow up with zymol cleaner wax. Using a testing unit here. Waxing sponge ready here.

 Let it stay for a few minutes and haze… then remove with microfiber towel.
