Colin at Killer Brands does a great job with a wide range of car detailing and related products, some of which he imports from the States. However, lurking within the line-up are a couple of own brand products including the Winners Detailing range.

Priced at the budget end of the market nevertheless, the range belies its humble pricing and offers a strong level of value for money. I was asked to try their Winners Carnauba Paste Wax (containing 60 per cent Brazilian carnauba) and was extremely impressed.

In an industry where bright colours and nifty smells abound, the Winners Carnauba Wax is More >

The summer in the UK might be short but the hot weather can certainly do some damage to your vehicle’s engine if you don’t keep your cooling system in good shape.

Fortunately, the solution is simple. Just add a bottle of DEI Radiator Relief™ to your coolant and your vehicle’s operating temperature will be reduced by up to 30°F the maker’s claim. (16.66° Celsius).

Engine wear will be minimised, the temperature gauge needle will stay away from the red section when sitting in summer traffic jams and you won’t be bothered by an overheating radiator ruining your day out.

Specialist car design studio, Rook Design has been busy working on their Diamondback rendering, based around MX-5, although it has now been re-named, Wraith. Several versions of the car are being considered, the 1.1, which has a Cobra-style front-end and 250-style rear, based on Mazda MX-5 Mk3, while V1.2 uses the MX-5 Mk2 as donor and a more exotic Italian look.

The company’s HK1 has also been re-named and is now known as the Ghost.

Slim’s Detailing is one of my favourite outlets for car care stuff, with no fewer than 48 brands stocked including Britemax, Poorboy’s World, Menzerna, GTechniq and CarPro, while they are also main distributors for Chemical Guys, Presta, InstaFinish, Malco and Wolfgang.

Whenever I go to the US I spend far too much time in the many car care stores, which are my idea of a toy-shop. They do these types of retail outlets well in the States, but they aren’t so well-known here in the UK.

Well, Slim’s Detailing has a shop to rival the best American outlets and when I’m in More >
