Gold Eagle Engine Answerman, Bobby Cleveland Shares Time and Money Saving Tips for Fall/Winter Storage in New How-to Videos

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 05, 2012

With summer coming to an end, most Americans will soon bid farewell to their boats, convertibles and warm-weather outdoor equipment and start prepping their cars and snow blowers for the cold season ahead. But, what most aren’t looking forward to is the actual process of getting this completed. In fact, a survey conducted by Gold Eagle® Co. (“Gold Eagle”), an industry pioneer of aftermarket fluids and additives and maker of STA-BIL®, HEET®, START YOUR ENGINES!® and 303® Products, found that 97 percent of Americans with engine equipment know that properly storing their items in the offseason will actually help them run at optimal performance when they take them out of storage next season. However, almost 75 percent of those surveyed encounter issues when they take items out after storing them—which means they aren’t taking the appropriate steps when they put away their machinery in the first place.

To help consumers prepare for everything from getting their convertible cars, boats and small engine equipment ready for storage to prepping their cars for the colder weather, Gold Eagle and the Gold Eagle Engine Answerman, Bobby Cleveland, share some helpful time and money-saving tips videos to help ensure that consumers are prepared for the cold temperatures. The video collection focuses on key topics, including:

•     Boating: VIEW VIDEO on how to make sure a boat is properly stored for winter. Bobby shares tips on how to clean a boat inside and out and how to properly store a boat, so it starts up come spring.
•     Automotive and Outdoor Power Equipment: VIEW VIDEO on how to properly prepare summer cars and outdoor equipment for storage. Bobby shares insight on how to properly prepare automobiles and outdoor equipment for storage. Including, cleaning the main elements and topping off key fluids.
•     Winter Car Care: VIEW VIDEO on how to make sure a car is prepared for dropping temperatures. Bobby shares a checklist of items to assess, including the tires, wiper blades, air battery and fluid levels.

“Engines are the heart of almost every piece of machinery and if not properly maintained can cause major issues,” said Bobby Cleveland, Gold Eagle Engine Answerman. “On average, we found that consumers spend up to $300* yearly fixing problems that could have been avoided if they took the proper steps to prepare their engines and equipment for the elements. Our new how-to videos share tips and simple steps you should take to help keep your cars, boats and small engine equipment in great shape, while keeping your money in your wallet.”
