GIVE YOUR CAR SOME LOVE FOR A SMOOTH BALIK KAMPUNG THIS RAYA
Can you smell the fragrance of lemang in the air? Yes, it’ll be balik kampung season soon as Malaysia celebrates Hari Raya Aidilfitri with the approach of the new Syawal.
Here’s wishing all Malaysians a happy Aidilfitri celebration from all of us at WD-40. We also hope that those who will be travelling this festive period have a safe journey back to their hometown.
So before you hit the road, be sure to give your car a tune-up to ensure you have a safe and smooth drive ahead.
If you have our popular Multi-Use Product at home, here are some tips on what it can do for your car : 1) Remove grime from engines, gummy deposits from PVC vales, or grease caked onto the engine block and its compartment 2) Protect metals from rust and corrosion 3) Displace moisture from car wiring
(Just spray and leave on for all of the above treatments)
Always ensure the engine is idle and cool, before you apply any car care products on your car.
Keeping a can with you in the car may be a good idea too, as the Multi-Use Product is also great with:
1) Helping to start wet engines, as it drives moisture away from flooded engines 2) Easing the removal of bolts and nuts. Think tyre puncture for example. Just spray onto the bolts and stuck nuts, and the tyre replacement exercise will be a breeze.
If you reckon you want a more thorough preparation for your car — one that calls for a specialist — check out our WD-40 Specialist Automotive range. There are five products under this range that are designed by WD-40 to maximise your car’s performance and keep it in tip-top condition. They are:
