Welcome to another Clean Plus® monthly newsletter. The driving season is now with us—did it ever leave us?—but, hey Spring is when you want to get out and get moving again. With gas prices lower this year than last this takes some of the sting out of the current economic situation.

This month’s newsletter features our latest promotion of Clean Plus® Super Polish, plus there are two articles about how the current economic crisis does hold some promise for DIY auto care, and how other manufacturers are taking a page from the Clean Plus® book to appeal to a broader audience.

Read on and enjoy!
