BEADING GREAT MIKE!
Jun 4th
I’m a big fan of Michael Cipriani’s Infinity Wax brand and the Glasgow-based operation has a large range of quality products and a very loyal band of followers. He places a signature on the label, which is nice, while he also values vivid colours and nice smells in his products.
Their Synergy QD is a ceramic resin-infused quick detailer, which solvent-based and gives a massive amount of beads and refreshingly is coating safe. This means that it will give your existing ceramic coating boost rather than remove it.
Success comes by applying it to one panel at a time. Spray it on, More >

BANANARAMA
Jun 4th
There are plenty of waxes that promise to give your car a butter wet or mirror-like finish.
Most of them hail from America and some of them are really very good indeed. However, it’s good to be able to report on a UK car care brand offering such a product.
The wax in question is from Autobrite Direct and their brilliantly named Carbanuba banana-scented wet-look wax. The smell could well be nearly as a good as the wax!
It really does have an unbelievable banana scent that smells like a McDonald’s milkshake or a Bird’s Angel Delight. I like my car care products More >
IT’S NICE TO HAVE A FAN
Jun 4th
2020 could be a good year for high temperatures. April was the sunniest on record for the UK and May continued to bring the sunshine.
Meaco has seen an exceptionally high demand for fans this spring, partly due to this weather, and in part caused by the lockdown with more people working and exercising from home.
It is therefore timely that Meaco has launched a new pedestal fan, to join its award-winning range of fans.
The MeacoFan 1056 Pedestal air circulator is the first pedestal fan for Meaco, developed and built following customer demand. According to Chris Michael, MD of Meaco: “Customers were looking for a floor More >
DISTRIBUTORS NEEDED!
Jun 4th
So, you’ve been tinkering with your air-cooled VW Beetleaircooled-engine, but the Bosch 009 distributor is giving you all she’s got and it’s just not enough.

The DIS-IX Distributorless Ignitions fit all modified and high-performance Volkswagen Type 1 and 2 engines and include all necessary electronics, wiring, connectors, More >

ROCKERS ROLLIN’? WASN’T THAT A QUO SONG?
May 28th
Conventional rocker arms produce some sideways movement of the valve stems causing high levels of friction and subsequent wear to both stems and valve guides.
Now Burton Power is able to offer a Roller Rocker Assembly for the Ford Kent engine.
Roller Rockers virtually eliminate valve and guide wear due to their strong-arm construction and large low friction needle roller bearings.
The Burton Ford Crossflow OHV Kent Roller Rocker Assembly has a standard lift of 1.53:1 and is suitable for a multitude of applications including a whole shed load of kitcars!
