4 Essential Items for Your Car Wash Kit

When you think about vehicle maintenance, your mind might go straight to things like oil changes, tire rotations, or brake pad replacements. You might not consider the upkeep of your vehicle's exterior to be maintenance. However, keeping the exterior clean can help your car look new and fight rust. Cleaning your car's exterior does not require a professional; it is a straightforward DIY project. However, before grabbing soap and a sponge, here are some car wash kit items to consider purchasing. They can help keep a vehicle looking newer longer. more 1. A Cleaning Agent Having a good cleaner designed specifically for cars is very important. A vehicle cleaning product helps remove dirt, grime, mud, bugs, and whatever else finds its way onto the body of the car. It can get rid of these difficult-to-remove impurities without damaging the paint, clear coat, or finish. Avoid using harsh detergents, such as dishwashing liquid. While some detergents can clean the exterior wheel well, they will make the paint look dull over time. Look for a car wash product that can lift dirt off the wax while maintaining its original shine. 2. Scrubber The tool you choose to scrub your car's exterior is just as important as the cleaner. While sponges effectively distribute water and soap over a large area, their porous texture might pick up stones and dirt in the process. These can create scratches on the car's finish as you scrub. The best tool to use for car-cleaning is a lambswool mitt. It is gentler than a sponge and still holds a lot of water and soap. This kind of mitt is easy to clean and far less likely to scratch the exterior finish. 3. A Wheel Cleaner Your car's wheels require just as much attention as the body. The wheels suffer much abuse from curb rash, heat, and brake dust. Because of this combination of harsh elements, you usually can't remove the dirt formed on wheels with the same cleaner used for car exteriors. You'll need something stronger. A wheel cleaner can get the job done. Make sure the cleaner you choose is made for the specific finish of your wheels. If you have chrome wheels, for instance, you should purchase a wheel cleaner formulated specifically for chrome surfaces. Once you've purchased a cleaner, wait until the wheels are cool to apply it. This is the optimal time to clean them. Use a bristled brush to work the soap in and remove unwanted grime without getting cleaner on the tires. 4. A Drying Cloth Drying a car will keep unsightly water spots from forming. This happens when water is allowed to evaporate on the vehicle. Use a water blade, chamois, or microfiber towel to dry your car effectively. Avoid using a household towel, because the fibers can harm the paint's finish. By keeping your car's paint and wheels in great condition, you can protect your vehicle and keep it looking like new for years to come. Image via Pixabay by JLMedia

3 Awesome Winter Events in Wichita

Winter has gotten a bad rap for being a time of slumber, sloth, and slowing down. But it looks like Wichita never got the memo. If anything, the city perks up when the temperatures go down. Check out some of the hottest events during the coldest days. more 1. Cars for Charities: Rod & Custom Car Show The only thing hotter than the coals of a warm Wichita fireplace are the tailpipes of the hot rods and custom beauties at this annual car show. This is an all-ages event, and kids under 11 get free admission. Darryl Starbird founded the car show 62 years ago in 1957. Take a trip down to the Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center on West Douglas Avenue to see the best show cars, custom cars, motorcycles, hot rods, restorations, and even live entertainment. Kids love the face-painting area where they can get decorated as brightly as the cars around the corner. They can also make model cars and take them home as custom-made souvenirs. The car show has a coloring station so younger attendees can let their creative juices flow while mom and dad ogle the vehicular artwork. Admission costs $14 for adults and $8 for kids between 12 and 17. The money goes toward The Arc of Sedgwick County and Starkey, two local charities. 2. Hit the Right Note at the Wichita Symphony Orchestra The Wichita Symphony Orchestra isn't your traditional orchestra; it puts on themed events and deeply interactive experiences. Sit down, lean back, and enjoy the classic 80s flick "E.T.," accompanied by the Wichita Symphony Orchestra. The genius of John Williams comes to life right in before you with strings, horns, flutes, and percussion. Watch the iconic BMX float in front of the moon on Dec. 7, 2019, at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 8, 2019, at 3:00 p.m. Are you a Beatles fan? Do you have kids, friends, or relatives who have yet to appreciate four most famed bandmates of the 1960s? There's no better way to experience the Beatles than with Revolution at the Wichita Symphony Orchestra. The music comes to life accompanied by fascinating photos and video animation. Hold your loved one's hand on Feb. 8, 2020, starting at 7:30 p.m. 3. Oscar Screenings of Short Films That Are Tall Treasures The Wichita Library is set to treat guests to a free and immersive dive into some of the world's best short films when it begins screening them on Feb. 16, 2020. Check out both live-action short films and animated treats. It's a great way to get your dose of hot modern cinematic art when the temperatures cool. The fun continues through Saturday, Feb. 23, 2020, at 5:45 p.m. You can find the full movie schedule on the Library's event calendar.

Freddy's Steakburger Founded in 2002 by two brothers, Freddy's Steakburger serves all-American meals reminiscent of their father's, Freddy Simon, cooking.

Each of these mouth-watering burgers can be combined with fries, applesauce, or potato chips. You can wash it all down with a soft drink. Be sure to leave room for Freddy's famous frozen custard. It is served as a sundae, concrete, or cone. “Concrete” refers to the thickness of the custard. It is so thick you can tip the cup upside-down and the custard will not fall out. The signature flavor is Turtle, made with silky vanilla custard, hot caramel, fudge, with toasted pecans, all topped off with airy whipped cream and a juicy red cherry on top. If chocolate is not your favorite, try their Hawaiian delight—sundae or concrete. This sweet custard comes with tropical toppings like coconut, pineapple, macadamia nuts, whipped cream, and, of course, a cherry on top. 2. Spangles Created by yet another duo of brothers, Spangles takes pride in selling burgers made only from premium black Angus steak. Their mission is to serve high-quality food that is fresh and made to order. They work hard to present a clean and friendly environment for their patrons. Burger choices range from the classic steakburger to the more exotic burgers, like the garlic parmesan bacon steakburger or The Beast steakburger, a tower of tantalizing beef and cheese. Each burger can be purchased as a "value pak," which comes with small fries and a soft drink or milkshake. 3. Barn'rds Another family establishment, Barn'rds offers a variety of fast food that is both healthy and homemade. Their specialties are fast food and roast beef. Meals are thoughtfully prepared by chef Lisa Stephenson. In addition to food options, their large menu includes helpful nutritional information as well.

A silver 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan with a roof cargo carrier driving in a Wichita, KS park

4 Reasons the Dodge Grand Caravan is Great Value for Families

Despite a constant barrage of new competitors, year after year the Dodge Grand Caravan holds its position as a dependable family vehicle. While other minivans and SUVs introduce lots of bells and whistles, the Caravan sticks to the basics: safety, power, and economy. more 1. Safety Features The Dodge Grand Caravan's primary objective is to protect its passengers. Complete with a rock-solid steel frame that forms a cage of protection around your family, the Caravan is designed to get you and your loved ones through minor to moderate collisions. It has crumple zones that transfer the energy from the impact to the chassis instead of the precious cargo inside. The interior, while comfortable, is also engineered to help passengers stay safe. If the vehicle gets jostled while driving or in an accident, the armrests serve as stabilizers to keep passengers in the safety of their seats. 2. Power The Dodge Grand Caravan packs a surprising punch. Flexing a 283 horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine, it has more than enough oomph to accelerate with a full load of passengers as you merge onto a highway or pull quickly through an intersection. The Caravan also has a six-speed automatic transmission geared to help drivers both accelerate smoothly at low speeds and whisk along the interstate above 50 mph. The sixth gear allows the Caravan to conserve fuel while cruising at speed, and the lower gears give it the jump it needs to navigate unpredictable traffic conditions. The Dodge Grand Caravan's engine also enables drivers to tow a small trailer, a moving container, or even another vehicle. All these horses chip in to provide a 3,600-pound tow rating. This powerhouse makes the Caravan a good option for not only towing valuable cargo but also loading up during a move or a big trip. 3. Easy on the Wallet The Dodge Grand Caravan's affordability is perhaps its claim to fame. The Caravan is significantly less expensive than other vehicles in its class. Dodge has focused on giving the Caravan the essentials and cutting out some of the unnecessary features that drive up its competition's prices. This doesn't mean buyers get a cheap, frumpy minivan. Dodge has designed the Caravan with a sleek, stylish exterior and a comfortable, sensible interior, so you can look good while you travel safely. 4. Reliability The Dodge Grand Caravan's dependability cannot be overstated. Dodge's engines, chassis, and interiors have stood the test of time and weathered an array of challenges over the years. It's not uncommon to see Caravans on the road for 15 years or longer, easily surpassing the 150,000-mile mark. The Caravan gives owners a sense of confidence because they know they have a vehicle that is not only sturdy but also a safe solution for their family and friends. Although the Dodge Grand Caravan is best known for its attractive price tag, the features of the vehicle itself are hard to overlook. It helps keep your family safe while providing enough power to haul both your valuables and your loved ones and letting you have a little fun along the way. Image via Dodge.com
