HAWK’S NEW COUPE TOPS THEIR RANGE
Jul 5th
Everyone knows that Hawk Cars produce superb replicas of various Cobras and also a Lancia Stratos. The company’s MD, Gerry Hawkridge is well known for his high standards, eye for detail and encyclopaedic knowledge of classic sixties cars, particularly those of a Cobra and/or exotic slant.
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
Jul 5th
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 >

DUAL-PURPOSE WASHERS
Jul 5th
Clamping Washers are used by many manufacturers to hold stuff like underbody heat shields and sound deadening materials, in place.
They are lightweight, sprung-steel washers that push on to and grip a simple, coarsely threaded stud that is permanently attached to the vehicle body. Unfortunately, they can be tricky to remove once corroded without breaking them or bending the stud.
This useful clamping washer tool (part number 7347) has been specifically developed to make the removal and fitting of these clamping washers and easy and straightforward task.
Designed for the 32mm diameter washers, the two steel pins engage with the washer and allow More >

THE SHIELD
Jul 5th
Most of us are all too familiar with the sound of a metallic rattling coming from under a vehicle. All too often it’s the catalytic converter shield hanging off and dragging on the road.
Catalytic converters are expensive to replace so the shield is important. If your vehicle doesn’t have a CAT-shield or it is rusting away DEI offers an easy and less expensive solution, a universal-fit catalytic converter shield.
Catalytic converters get extremely hot and without a shield, a vehicle is vulnerable to oil or grease landing on the converter creating a fire risk. Parking on dry grass or leaves is More >
T-CUT’S NEW METAL POLISH
Jul 5th
I ran out of my preferred metal polishes the other day and only had a tube of T-Cut Original Metal Polish to hand that they’d sent me to try so I put that through its paces.
Actually, I was pleasantly surprised at the way it removed grease and heavy oxidation from the copper saucepan I was trying to clean. It can also be used on chrome, nickel, stainless steel, aluminium amongst others and it also gave the pan a bit of shine and lustre.
I’ve subsequently used it on a tarnished exhaust pipe along with Meguiar’s All Purpose Cleaner and it worked More >
