When to wash your car?

By Christine on September 12, 2012 in 8, car washes denver

spacer No matter the time of year people always need to get their car washed.  Whether you live in Phoenix or Juno, people all over wash their cars.  Because dirt is everywhere.  Whether you take you truck off roading and plummet through the mud, dirt and grim or if you just buzz around the city, the elements take a toll on your vehicle.

However, one of the most common reasons people go and get car washes in Denver is due to the crazy weather we have in our glorious state.  In the winter, the snow, slush, and ice cover the roads, and the Colorado Department Of Transportation sends their trucks out to cover the roads in a chemical salt which save lives but ruins cars.  Cause of the chemicals in the salt compound it is important that you take you car to get washed in the winter.  The car wash is the only place to get the correct water pressure to clean all of the crud and chemicals from the undercarriage of your vehicle.

In the warmer months, most people keep their car clean, or they think it is clean because there are less ways to get you car covered in dirt and grim.  But just because you car looks clean does not mean it is.  So, I encourage you to wash you car every few weeks to keep the shine and sheen of you car.  Plus, I think your car works better when clean.

Engagement ring shopping

By Christine on September 7, 2012 in 8, engagement rings Utah

spacer Getting married is one of the biggest life steps you can make.  But  before  you can do that you have to get engaged.  An essential step in the engagement process is the purchasing of engagement rings.  Utah has a great selection of jewelers and diamond brokers to choose from.

The choice of whether to go to a jewelry store or to go through a jewel broker is more of a matter of preference.  I know some people who have gotten great deals on rings from a jewel broker that is unmatched by a store.  And I know others who swear by the inventory, customer service and reliability  that comes from shopping in a store.

But what most people can agree upon is that there are certain standards and rules you should keep  in mind when buying a ring.

First you must set and stick to a budget.

You must  choose a design or style, it will help narrow down what to look for.

Choose a carat and clarity rating.

Do your research so you know what a carat looks like and what are the different clarifications for diamonds.

Choose what kind of band

And choose the right size.  Raid your girlfriends jewelry box and get the size right. It will save the headache and time it takes to get it re-sized.
