Having Battery Problems?

Did you know that 90% of batteries fail due to the build up of sulphates on the lead plates within the battery? The build up of these sulphates occurs whenever the battery is not in a full state of charge.

The sulphates insulate the plates from surrounding acid in turn reducing the performance of the battery.

Here at Frost we have the answer:

The Battery Activator is designed to improve battery performance and greatly extend useful battery life, this device uses pulse technology to remove sulphates by sending a “shock wave” every 30 seconds through the battery. This pulse of energy, amounting to 90 amperes for a few microseconds, is sufficient to remove any build up of sulphates anywhere within the battery. Positive and Negative connections must be made direct to the battery terminals with no extension of the original leads.

The Battery Activator Can be fitted and left permanently connected. It is fitted with 3 indicators to show the condition of the battery and an indicator which flashes every 30 seconds as the pulse is generated and flows through the battery.

Restoration Stories

I was just having a quick surf over the internet this afternoon and stumbled accross carsinbarns.com. It's a very interesting website with images and stories of classic cars that have been left to rot.

A lot of the authors write; how much they'd like to buy the cars and restore them. They also send in their images.

If you have images of cars you have found in barns, or ones you own and are restoring, or even your pride and joy that you have finished restoring, please send the images in with some text to frost@frost.co.uk and I shall post them up on this blog if you wish. That way people can leave comments and have discussions about the car.

This may be helpfull for you or it may just be a pleasure to see your car online.

How about it?

POR 15 Rust Preventative Paint

POR-15 Rust Preventative Paint 2 sizes (US pint and US gallon), 4 colours (black, clear, grey and silver)
Whilst any paint will provide some degree of protection from rust for a while, no other is as permanent as POR-15. When others have chipped, scratched, flaked, and peeled, POR-15 will still be preventing rust.

It is totally resistant to road salt, petrol, battery acid, etc., and actually dries harder in humid damp conditions. Ideal for suspension and chassis protection, and you can apply a topcoat of any finishing paint. This is protection you can count on.
