One primarily for our American readers …
Nobody likes hanging out in a hot vehicle. Fortunately, LizardSkin Ceramic Thermal Insulation Coating can reduce interior temperatures due to engine and solar heat transfer by up to 30 degrees F.
Just spray a single coat on floorpans, door panels, and other interior surfaces. Unlike mat-style insulation, the water-based coating is easy to apply to irregular surfaces and creates a tough, seamless moisture barrier on exposed metal to prevent corrosion.
LizardSkin Ceramic Thermal Insulation Coating is water-based for easy clean-up, is Class-A fire-rated, and cures in approximately 24 hours. LizardSkin’s handy application calculator will help you determine how More >

Jun 3rd
I really like this new BMW 507-inspired body conversion based on BMW Z3 from body kit conversion meisters, Tribute Automotive.

The Dorset-based company is renowned for its innovative and affordable bodykits and among them are several based around the BMW Z3, including their take on the AC Cobra (Kobra) and several exotic-flavoured models.
Their latest arrival – also Z3-based – is a convincing pastiche on the lovely BMW 507 Roadster. A beautiful car, the BMW 507, was only made between 1956-59 and was intended for the US market.
Porsche importer North America, Max Hoffman also handled the BMW brand in More >
ME OLD BAMBOO!
Jun 3rd
Very impressed with these new bamboo-based microfibre cloths, super soft, very absorbent and environmentally friendly, too. Oh … and yes they really are made from bamboo!
I really dislike shoddy quality microfibre cloths and they really can be variable. If you choose a high-quality polish, wax or sealant it can be badly let down by a cloth that doesn’t buff the car’s surface properly.
I love these new ones from Pushing Cloth which is said to be 150 per cent more absorbent than standard microfibre cloths and according to the man behind the product Andy Day the plushness comes from the fact More >
