RALLY DESIGN TURN UP THE PRESSURE
Oct 29th
Talk to any professional car cleaner – or even enthusiastic and serious home detailer – and he will tell you that water flow is more important than pressure.
The pressure will lift the dirt, but water is needed to clear the debris. In fact, too much pressure with insufficient water flow will damage vehicle paintwork, especially if cleaning grit or sand off the bodywork.
The BLACKLINE CWP 3000 is tuned to offer a flow of 12 litres/min (3.2gpm) at 3000psi (207bar), the high flow rate makes this machine ideal for washing cars properly.
It is supplied with high-pressure armoured hose and five quick-change multi-purpose nozzles, soap More >
NEW DASHCAM FROM PIONEER
Oct 29th
Pioneer’s dash cameras can be described as providing an extra eye on the road. Recording what is in front of them with unblinking diligence and in full HD resolution, they offer peace of mind in being able to capture events in real-time, which, in turn, can protect the user from fraudulent insurance claims.
The latest model to join the Pioneer dash camera line-up is the new VREC-DZ600, a high-performance single channel model that offers a class-leading level of features yet requires only a small area of windscreen real estate.
Pioneer VREC-DZ600 highlight features:

LIKE THE MAPS? HERE’S THE TOWELS
Oct 29th
We all know about the high-quality and informative maps produced by the Ordnance Survey. I collect them – old and new – and although we’re increasingly reliant on satnav devices these days I think there is something extra special about a proper paper map.
I really like their latest addition their Giant Trek Towels, which include locations such as the Brecon Beacons, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.
Whether you’re day-tripping or hiking through the range – admire the landscape wherever you are.
The OS Giant Trek Towel is super soft, lightweight, highly absorbent, and dries eight times faster than the average towel! It is More >
