BRIGHT LIGHTS

New from Ring Automotive are these new Xenon 5000 headlight bulbs. They have a bright, white light and match the LED colour of daytime running lights without HID or LED technology.
Modern vehicle lighting often incorporates very white LED DRLs and in addition to being strikingly bright, they run at a very high temperature.
As most modern cars have standard halogen lights headlight bulbs this can lead to a mis-matched look between white DRLs and the car’s headlights, which a yellow-tinted glow albeit running at much lower temperatures.
However, Ring’s latest performance headlight bulb, Xenon5000 is different. It emits a very bright, white More >

MOTHERS KNOW BEST!

The latest product from leading US car care behemoth, Mothers is CMX Ceramic Spray Coating.
Having heard the hype about CMX via various YouTube videos and American friends, I was looking forward to trying it out.
Even though I love cleaning my cars and Carol calls me an ‘addict’ I have tended to shy away from ceramic coatings. I’m a bit scared of them, to be honest. They can give outrageously effective and long-lasting shine but they can also be a pig to apply and for the best results they need to ‘cure’ for 12-hours and mustn’t get wet during that time.
