Just in time for the Christmas season, Autoglym’s award-winning ‘Polar’ series of car care products have been released in an attractive, affordable – and handy – three x 500ml bottle gift pack.

The Polar Blast, Polar Wash and Polar Seal formulas from Autoglym are all pressure washer specific applications that should be mixed at the required ratio and applied lovingly via a snow foam lance, making More >
HERE YOU GO, BOSS!
Sep 26th
Brown & Geeson has been distributing steering wheel and hub-kits in the UK for over 25-years. Based on that wealth of experience the company is now launching its own range of hub kits.
The new B&G range features over 800 new vehicle applications from classic to modern – far more than it could ever cover with the brands it distributed.
A properly fitting, purpose-made hub kit is an essential component when fitting an aftermarket steering wheel. B-G Hub Kits are just that.
They are produced in Italy from the finest cast aluminium materials and are dual-drilled to be compatible with various steering wheels More >
THAT’S HANDY!
Sep 26th
Drifting and Rallying requires extensive use of the handbrake, which can result in weaknesses in standard cable type handbrakes.
A hydraulic handbrake system prevents this. The hydraulic system connects into the brake-line that runs to the rear calipers and requires a lot less force to completely lock both rear wheels when needed.
A hydraulic handbrake is used by drivers to lock-up or break loose the rear wheels when they want to drift the car sideways or spin on the spot. Rally drivers regularly need to spin 180-degrees ‘on the spot’ when they overshoot an intersection or have to turn very hard left More >
YOU GOTTA MAKE AN IMPACT
Sep 26th
Underneath the car, you need to get the job done quickly, but typically the fasteners are likely to be corroded, so you naturally reach for your trusty impact gun. However, what if access is limited and you can’t get a socket near the fastener?
You could put a spanner onto to it, but we want to undo the fastener quickly! We could do with the power of the impact gun. Laser Tools to the rescue! The new half-inch drive swivel impact adaptor (part number 7536) is designed for an impact gun.
The compact design and multi-angle swivel action allows access from a More >

SAUSAGE SANDWICH? DON’T BE SAUCY!
Sep 19th
One of the coolest of the small car care brands and one that does things in a very unique and humorous way is HB Sauce. They are deadly serious about the waxes and elixirs that they blend for our delight and pleasure, though.
One of their range that I’ve been using with great success recently is Raspberry Sauce Gloss Enhancing Quick Detailer and in addition to the smell (don’t put ice cream near it for goodness sake. It might smell like a topping sauce but you really mustn’t do that) it works brilliantly.
Typifying the oft used; seldom achieved ‘easy-on-easy-off’ claim this More >
