Protects Paint Finish as Well as Engine. Not every motorist who raises the hood of his cat does so just to cool the engine. Asked why he had raised the hood while plcnicking recently, a motorist explained that he wanted to cool the hood itself. There's idea worth jotting down. Raising the hood not only released the heat under it, but protected the finish against the heat.® g GIVE THIS A TRIAL | Why do most motorists place the car head first into a private garage? | Why not back up the driveway when | the ‘engine is warm and leave the car in such a position that when taking [it out again it is only necessary to | arive straight forward?
