What are the differences between alloy and steel wheels?

Pelican Parts Wheel FAQ
The main differences between alloy and steel wheels lie in their durability and strength. Most high-performance wheels are made of an alloy and composed of aluminum, and other metallic substances. By using alloy wheels, you not only improve the looks of your vehicle but also the performance. The extra strength provides longevity as well as effecting tire wear in a positive manner. The weight reduction will improve steering response and handling, as well as help accelerate and brake faster.

How often should I wash my car?

FAQ
You can wash your vehicle as often as you wish. Keep in mind that using soap or car wash detergent can, over time, cause a build up on the paint surface that causes it to appear dull. This build up will need to be removed through a comprehensive process included in a deluxe detail that should be scheduled twice a year. We recommend that you only use proper car wash soap that is well diluted in cool or lukewarm water - never hot water.

Can I wash my car?

TODAY'S COLLISION REPAIR CENTER
DO - Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild car wash solution using a soft cloth or sponge. Always use clean fresh water. Wash your vehicle in the shade. DON'T - Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface. Do not "dry wipe" your vehicle. Dry wiping can scratch the finish. Do not drive on gravel roads. Chipping the finish is easily done in the first 30 days.

Is it safe to wash the parts of my juicer in the top rack of my dishwasher?

Juicers, Dehydrators, Sprouters and More - Customer Service
What appliances (perhaps more than one at a time) you would choose to make the highest nutritional quality juice (all types -- vegetable, fruit, wheat grass and citrus) if money and space were no object. I am interested in a lifestyle change, and am leaning toward purchasing the Green Life or Green Power juicers. However, I want to know if purchasing separate juicers for vegetables, fruits, citrus and wheat grass would yield more juice or higher quality juice.
