JEWEL OF A SHAMPOO
Jul 29th
Jewels is an interesting little UK car care brand based in the North-East and I like their Ruby Shampoo which has an incredibly pleasing Cherry Bakewell smell (you don’t know just how much I LOVE that) that has an equally incredible dilution rate of 1900:1.
For the record, the standard for these sorts of products is 800-900:1, so a few squirts of product into my bucket (don’t forget your grit guard) and standby for a vast amount of suds and bubbles.
It is easy to apply and feels slick and drag-free to use and left my car’s bodywork feeling very smooth, while More >

BUMPSTICK HELPER

The pushrods’ main job is to transfer the motion of the camshaft’s lobes to the valves. They also help with lubrication for many engines by acting as a portal to move oil from the lifter valley into the cylinder heads.

It is based on the howling V12 unit that former Jaguar chief engineer, Claude Baily designed specifically for the XJ13 and as Neville Swales says: “… a ‘what might have been’ exercise, an engine More >
