Product Guide: Winter Defense

DON’T BE LEFT OUT IN THE COLD!

As with any winter, those of us who think we’re “seasoned” to the cold can still be caught off guard by quick changes in weather. These changes can have devastating effects on sidewalk and driveway safety along with increased wear on vehicle engines.

Helpful reminders at the sales counter will keep customers aware of the winter defense tools they will need to keep themselves and their families safe and happy this winter.

I’ve listed some specific items below which should be a part of every retailer’s winter defense kit:

ROAD RUNNER – Ice Melt

Why Road Runner? Are you looking for a powerful ice melt blend? Scott Wood Industries’ Road Runner Ice Melt line may be the answer. Road Runner is Scott Woods’ leading retail product with these advantages:

• A blend that contains calcium and magnesium chloride pellets. Recognized as one of the most effective blends on the market.
• Begins melting immediately upon impact – generates melting heat fast.
• Needs fewer applications than rock salt.
• Melts effectively to -15 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Safe on streets, driveways, sidewalks, steps and the environment when used correctly.
• Does not track, it is odorless and colorless.

INCREDIBLE ORANGE – Ice Melt

Why Incredible Orange? Incredible Orange Anti-Ice Ice Melt is said to cover the equivalent of a 50 lb. bag of rock salt. With an easy spray-on application before a storm to prevent ice and snow build up, Incredible Orange will help keep your sidewalks and driveway’s safe from slips and falls.

But that’s not all, you can also use Incredible Orange after a storm as an instant ice melter. It will not harm concrete, asphalt or plants and should protect in temperatures as low as -27F.

HEET – Automotive

Why HEET? HEET is the #1 Selling Gas-Line Antifreeze & Water Remover. It removes water from the fuel system to prevent gas-line freeze-up and harmful rust and corrosion.

Iso-HEET is the #1 Selling Premium Fuel-line Antifreeze, Water Remover & Injector Cleaner. It absorbs 5 times more water than regular gas-line antifreeze, while it cleans fuel injectors and carburetors. It’s designed for use year-round in ALL 2-cycle, 4-cycle gasoline engines and diesel engines.

Additional Info: Unopened bottles of HEET and Iso-HEET have an indefinite shelf life provided the foil safety seal has not been broken. During storage, the bottles may swell and appear pressurized. This distortion is a result of vapor pressure formed by the formula stored at higher temperatures (which can happen in your garage or the trunk of your car). When this happens, the product is still fine to use. It does not diminish the product’s performance.

HOWES DIESEL TREAT – Automotive

Why Diesel Treat? Howes Diesel Treat corrects problems caused by Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel. In cold weather, Howes Diesel Treat is an excellent anti-gel that prevents fuel from gelling and freezing. In the growing diesel powered auto, pick-up truck and light duty truck market, Howes replaces the lost lubricity from the lower sulfur and aromatic content – which Howes says will result in more power, increased MPG’s and better performance. In addition, Howes:

• Purifies the fuel by mixing instantly without agitation and driving out contaminants
• Treated fuel cleans and lubricates the entire fuel injection system.
• Combustion is enhanced.
• Water is encapsulated and burns off harmlessly.
• Fuel injectors and filters last up to three times longer.
• Prevents low sulfur fuel problems, year round.
• Improves power, performance and MPG’s.
• Contains 100% active ingredients.
