Autoglym's Roadtrip Must-Haves This Labor Day

LETCHWORTH GARDEN CITY, England--Aug. 31, 2012: Labour Day is an extremely busy travel weekend for Canadians, and Autoglym is reminding those who are taking a roadtrip to pack the car's essentials along with their suitcases.

Before you go

A clean windshield and side windows are key for safety, so before hitting the road, a quick application of Fast Glass will ensure they are clear and roadtrip-ready. Many car owners use household glass cleaners, which contain wax and silicone for cosmetic effect, but when used on a vehicle, these products may cause dangerous smearing in wet weather (on the outside) and misting on the inside... that said, they are best avoided.

Autoglym Fast Glass is a super efficient, spray-on cleaner for rapid window cleaning, both inside and out, that produces a crystal clear, smear-free finish on windows. Don't forget to wipe down the the wiper blades too!

Take Some For The Road

To help make your life easier along the way, be certain to pack three essential Autoglym products -- all of which are easy to use, and minimize frustration while you are on the road.

• Ensure you have a box of Bird Dropping Wipes in the glove box to easily handle avian mishaps on tree-lined roads and parking lots.
• Active Insect Remover will easily clear away remains from exterior paint, plastics and glass once you arrive at your getaway destination, and ensure that your windows are clear for the return ride home.
• Last, but certainly, not least, take along Autoglym Interior Shampoo for anything that can and will spill while you are using your car as the primary mode of vacation transportation. With an easy-to-use spray-and-wipe formula, it cleans and freshens carpets, headliners, plastics, synthetic fabric upholstery and vinyl tops.

All Autoglym products are available exclusively at Canadian Tires stores across the country.
