‘BIG BOI BLOWR’
Feb 6th
Here’s a superb new car drying blower called BIGBOI BLOWR PRO, which is arguably one of the finest machines of its type. Not the cheapest by any means at £329, it is worth the outlay in our view.
If you like taking care of your cars, you’ll know that carelessness when washing and drying a car with a chamois or even a drying towel can leave the odd scratch or blemish on your car’s bodywork.
The BlowR is powered by not one but two 1600-watt motors, each with two power settings. If you like details of such things this means that you More >
‘TERA’ BLY GOOD JAGUAR V12 DEVELOPMENT
Feb 6th
Due for launch at Reis Race Retro 2020 taking place on February 21-23, is a brand new V12 engine called the tera®. Inspired by the legendary Jaguar V12 unit it hails from Neville Swales’ Building The Legend XJ13 project and is described as an evolution of the special version of the Jaguar V12 designed by Claude Baily and intended for the ill-fated XJ13.
The original was an engine designed to race – itself developed from Harry Mundy and Walter Hassan’s XJ12 unit – but never raced.
The tera® is normally-aspirated and distributor-less with a choice of mechanical or electronic fuel injection and More >
EMERGENCY REPAIR KIT FOR HOSES

Cracks or damage to your engine radiator and heater hoses can cause coolant leakages, engine overheating and engine damage, so it’s important that any faults are fixed quickly if you need to continue your journey. On modern vehicles, damaged moulded rubber hoses are a real problem and if an exact replacement part is not immediately available, then the vehicle is going nowhere.
New from Connect Workshop Consumables is this professional hose repair kit (part number 33200), that features a comprehensive selection of straight hoses, right-angled hoses, pipe connectors and hose clips. A heavy-duty pipe cutter is also included so that the hoses More >

WHEEL CLEANER PAR EXCELLENCE
Jan 30th
Latest Tenzi UK product to impress me is their Bleeding Rims, which is an iron fallout-type product.
The products are produced in Poland, where the company (motto ‘advantage through quality’) is one of the market-leaders.
Bleeding Rims is designed for cleaning wheels of stubborn metallic dirt, rust and dust from brake discs. Its name derives from the red colour that appears on contact with the wheel surface.
The amount it ‘bleeds’ shows how much dirt and crud has accumulated on the wheel rim. The product has a gel consistency and the product may also be used for cleaning aluminium, chrome and enamelled wheel More >

SOAPY SUDS
Jan 30th
I had a Caterham Seven to clean recently. It needed doing urgently. Filthy it was …
I needed an effective car shampoo but didn’t have time to use a pre-wash (snow-foam-type product) one that had the ability to dwell on the car’s bodywork, helping to remove road crud on impact.
I hate car shampoos that dry dirty, looking as if you haven’t even cleaned the car. You need one that removes dirt and is easy to rinse off. If it leaves a nice gloss, then that’s a bonus.
Therefore, I reached for the product of a tiny micro-car care company – Detailers Passion More >
CAN THE CAN
Jan 30th
With years of oil catch can research and development, Mishimoto has created what they claim is the most effective oil catch can on the market.
The patent-pending Mishimoto XL Baffled Oil Catch Can was designed to separate oil particles from the PCV/CCV air that would normally have just been routed back to your intake. The internal air diverter increases air turbulence and ensures all the oil sinks to the bottom of the can, leaving nothing but clean air to pass through the 50-micron bronze filter to the intake.
An internal baffle keeps the collected oil from splashing around under race conditions. This More >
