WOO-HOO DIY POWDERCOATING!

Powdercoating is one of the most economical, colour-durable and longest-lasting finishes available. Powdercoated surfaces are far more resistant to chipping, scratches, fading and wear than other finishes and the colour selection is virtually unlimited: high and low gloss, metallic and clear finishes are available.

Also, thanks to the UV resistance of many of the powders, colours stay bright and vibrant for longer. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish plus rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections.

The Dual Voltage HotCoat Powder Coating Gun kit from Moss Europe has two settings – one for tight spots and More >

SMELLS GOOD ENOUGH TO DRINK – BUT DON’T! OUT IT ON YOUR CAR INSTEAD

I like the Sam’s Detailing brand and they make really good products that often smell amazing.

Here’s a great duo from them. Starting with their Liquid Wax, which has a totally and utterly glorious banana scent. I had one of those Frijj banana milkshakes (other brands are available! on the go when I cracked Sam’s Liquid Wax open and I kid you not, in my haste for a gulp of milkshake I almost downed a glug or two of the Liquid Wax, because it smelt so lovely. Best not try that at home, eh!

Anyway, smell aside, this product is a good More >

He’s recently launched what can perhaps be regarded as his crowning glory, a Hawk Coupe replica that is period correct and accurate in every way. Just six of the Shelby Daytona Coupes were built for racing between 1964-65. The late Carroll Shelby giving his designer, Peter Brock the brief to design a GT car that More >

A GLASS CANOPY

Here’s a cracking product, a sealant with a difference.

A sealant should be applied to your paintwork after you’ve washed, clayed and thoroughly decontaminated the body and it should ideally be applied before a coat of wax. However, if you are doing an in-between clean some of them have decent levels of gloss and so can be used a standalone product, such as Glass Canopy Liquid Sealant, by Infinity Wax.

If you do use a wax over a decent sealant, however, the results can be spectacular and you could feasibly get paint protection that lasts up to a year. This one, blended More >
