So. Cal Auto Dealer First To Rid Used Cars of Contaminated Air

18 July 2000

                
    Long Beach, Calif. - The Mike Salta Organization, operator of 10 auto 
dealerships in Southern California, has become the first agency in the nation 
to eliminate contaminated air from the ventilation system of their entire used-
car inventories.

    The company is applying a potent anti-bacterial foam cleanser called DWD2 
into the evaporator case, the starting point for all air that passes through
a car's ventilation system.  The product removes built-up fungus, bacteria, 
mold and other contaminants that are present in virtually all auto evaporator 
systems.

    "Admittedly, like many in this day of heightened health consciousness, 
we've only recently become aware of the health hazards that develop in an 
unattended evaporator case, especially for persons susceptible to allergies and 
sufferers of asthma," said Mike Kahn, V.P.-COO of the Salta Organization.
