UNDER ARMOUR
Mar 15th
Armor All was THE exotic car care brand in the eighties when T-Cut, Simoniz and Turtle Wax were the kings of the hill. If you knew someone who used Armor All he was the man!
The car care market has changed and expanded massively in recent years and just like there are loads of micro-breweries, there are hundreds of boutique polishes, waxes and sealants available in the UK.
In recent years, Armor All has enjoyed a bit of a renaissance in the UK and their Shield product is helping to lead the charge. It’s basically a liquid wax that is easy to More >

BLOWN GASKET? NO PROBLEM WITH SCE AND SUMMIT RACING’S HELP
Mar 15th
Finding a quality header gasket can be a challenge. There’s nothing more frustrating than hearing the tell-tale ticking of a gasket gone awry before its time. The experts at SCE Gaskets made that a non-issue with their new Graph-Form Premium Header Gaskets. Made from an exclusive high-density graphite material, these gaskets resist high temperatures—outperforming competing brands for high-temperature sealing.
The gaskets’ flexible material is extra-thick so it can conform to irregular surfaces like header flange sealing beads and cylinder head ridges; a 1/8in thick gasket can be compressed up to 1/16in.
The superior seal provides a flush fit even on warped or More >
LEVERAGE
Mar 9th
Rusty, tight or seized nuts? To gain some extra leverage it can be tempting to use two spanners, hooking one over the end of the other — the so-called ‘two-spanner trick’.
However, that can be a dangerous idea, as spanners are not shaped or designed to grip another spanner, and when they slip, the result can be heavily skinned knuckles, or worse!
A much better idea is to use a proper spanner extension wrench like this new example from Laser Tools (part number 6745).
It turns your spanner into a power bar. The extension wrench firmly grips the shaft of the spanner and More >
THIS STUFF CLEANS PLASTICS
Mar 9th
There are plenty of products that claim to clean plastic, Perspex, Lexan and Macrolan and many others but most of them are rubbish. Close to being useless. Indeed, many of them cause plastics to dry out, discolour and become brittle.
Having tried Plexus though, it really does a great job and is extremely easy to use. Just spray and wipe with a clean microfiber cloth and More >
