GREEN FLASH
Aug 30th
My favourite ‘go to’ detailing store, Slim’s Detailing doesn’t just have a great store full of car care potions and elixirs from many leading brands, but they also do mail order, too.
One of their main lines comes from German maker, Koch Chemie, indeed Slim’s is the main UK distributor for them. I’ve been using Koch’s GS aka Green Star All Purpose Cleaner, with some success for quite a while now and not only is it a fab product but a 1-litre bottle costs just £5.15 inc VAT!
It’s a highly-concentrated alkaline-based universal cleaner which is phosphate- and solvent-free and is ideal for More >

FIBREGLASS CAN BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO GREEN STUFF
Aug 30th
Green Stuff Remover is a 1-litre ready-to-use and 5-litre concentrated valeting product offered by the Power Maxed, vehicle care brand.
Previously known as Caravan Wash due to its most common application on algae-prone caravans and motor homes, Power Maxed has renamed the product to help users connect the product with the problem it is best able to solve.
Caravans, motor homes, any home feature built with UPVC and of course any vehicle left for more than a few weeks can begin to build an increasing layer of algae and even moss, which can be a messy and difficult job to clean. Bare More >

This one is ideal for kitcars with carburettors …

NO PRESSURE FROM WEBCON
Aug 30th
Another one for carburettor equipped cars without a return fuel line!
Bad hot starting can be the result of pressure build-up in the fuel feed line of a carburettor equipped car, causing the carburettor to flood either during hot soak or whilst cranking.
Some manufacturers addressed this problem by fitting a fuel return line to the tank. However, this is a cumbersome solution for owners of cars without this feature as it involves making irreversible modifications to the car. Luckily Webcon has the answer.
Webcon’s Fuel Line Pressure Relief Kit provides extra fuel hose, clips and two tee pieces, (one with a valve More >

DISCOVERY CHANNEL
Aug 24th
A group of friends, Rob Turner, Thomas Cowley, Danny Pomfret and Mark Crates are the men behind the new RoToDaMa (the name comes from the first two letters of the protagonists first names) operation that has launched a forward control cab and pickup back based on Land Rover Discovery, which they’ve rather nicely called the ‘Rediscovery’.
As we know, old Discoverys rot out for fun and hundreds of thousands have met their maker due to rust, as a result. However, under the skin, structurally the cars are usually sound and that is something that Rotodama has literally based their business on.
