Mother Car Care:
The Winning Balance

Some people say Mother car care. but officially the company is called Mother's car care.

But the real question becomes that of performance and value rather than the official name of the company.

Does Mothers car care represent the winning balance of products, or is Mothers simply another company that does a good job at separating you from your money without delivering real value?

My first experience with Mother car care products started way back when I was in high school. It was my auto shop teacher that first introduced me to their products.

My First Car

When I got my first car (at least my fist car that had any paint on it) I naturally reached for one of my favorite Mothers products; California Gold cleaner wax. I had become familiar with the quality products they put out so I naturally went to one of their well known products when it came time to work on my Baby!

Since then I have considered Mothers car care products to be among the companies that represent a winning balance of benefits.

They are also a company with an extensive enough product line that will be more than adequate for any car enthusiast or car owner looking to maintain and beautify of their ride.

Mother Car Care:
Starting with the Basics

Today is a very different world than when I first sampled my very first Mothers product. In this digital age of endless information we call the Internet, we are now a society of 'Information overload".

Endless opinions, endless voices.

All screaming for your attention with the hopes of separating you from your hard earned money. And any beginner to the world of cosmetic car care will quickly find themselves overwhelmed within this sea of endless information.

"Most of you will find yourselves chasing your tails from one opinion after another. But will reading the endless opinions get you closer to clean, shiny, and protected?"

for this reason I try to encourage guys to simply start somewhere and move forward. Find products or a manufacturer that represents what I call the winning balance of features and benefits.

Understanding two essential facts should help you get started:

1. If you don't start somewhere, you will never gain experience and you will never be closer to what you really want
2. You will always be chasing the elusive "best", so don't over-think things at the beginning
