HIGH SHINE
Jul 10th
I’m a big fan of the products made by the micro-car care company (and I mean that in the biggest and most complimentary way possible), SiRamik.
I really like and enjoy using their SC Mist ‘topper’ or quick detailer and just lately I have been getting some great results on a GRP-bodied car with their Praefulgeo Spray Sealant.
The product uses silicon resins within its formulation and it really is ridiculously easy to use. An average size car can be coated in around 20-minutes.
It can give up to three months protection but the real wild cards in Praefulgeo’s favour are its gloss More >

SHINE AND SEAL IT
Jul 10th
Lurking within the German Sonax Xtreme range are some great products. The most ‘obvious’ one, I guess, is the superb Brilliant Shine Detailer, but there’s another I really like called Spray & Seal.
It’s a fast and effective and dead easy-to-use liquid sealant that is effective on paintwork, chrome and plastics. The formulation incorporates what Sonax claim is Unique Polymer Technology that they say provides up to three months protection.
It couldn’t be easier to use. You just spray it onto your still wet vehicle after you’ve washed it and rinse off, then using a good quality drying towel, wipe to a More >
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON!
Jul 2nd
Oooh I say!
I’m really loving the sound of a brand-new three-wheeler kit that hails from ex-Ricardo and current Prodrive engineer, Rob Moon.
A modern design, the Darkside (there’s a superb play on words if you consider the creator’s surname!) is a single-seater that according to Moon is totally dedicated to sheer driving enjoyment, with no compromises.
Power will be monstrous and comes from Suzuki Hayabusa which when you consider that the car weighs in at 275kg. Even in entry-level ‘SS’ spec it still packs 180bhp. Rob is talking turbochargers and intercoolers for models higher up the range!
What I think is rather cool. More >

NOTHING TO DO WITH SOFT WHIP ICE CREAM
Jul 2nd
Japanese brand, Soft 99 has won many friends in the UK with their excellent paste waxes led by Fusso Coat, which has really established itself on the car care scene.
The company offers a full range of products – some of them still a little ‘left-field’ for UK enthusiasts such as their Smooth Egg shampoo! However, it’s their paste wax that does the trick for us, thus far.
Their new Speed & Barrier Spray Wax is said to be a liquid version of their Fusso Coat and is described as having a colour tinting formula that adds high gloss to your car’s More >

GIVE THE GLOSS A BOOST
Jul 2nd
Autobright is a well-established brand on the UK’s car care scene although I still feel don’t get the recognition that they deserve.
Take their Gloss Boost, which is a quick detailer or ‘topper’ of the highest order. In addition to paint it’s a great all-rounder as you can safely use it on plastic, glass, rubber and even your wheels, which makes it very versatile and cost-effective.
A proper ‘spray and wipe’ which will enhance your levels of gloss greatly. A 500ml bottle costs just £7.99.
Exciting times for the brand as founder Geoff Hare has recently teamed up with an American chemist to More >
