A MESSY PROBLEM
Jul 15th
The royal-warranted car cleaning experts at Autoglym are delighted to release Reflow, an innovative and extremely effective new product that is able to restore paint damage caused by bird droppings – and all without any additional equipment or effort.
Contrary to popular belief, the damage etched into vehicle paintwork by bird droppings is not caused by acid but by repeated thermal cycles. These gradually force the clear coat to mould itself around the deposit and therefore create an impression of that shape within the paint surface, often in the form of a faded or dull patch.
Of course, this can be avoided More >

EXCITING NEW ARRIVAL
Jul 8th
Under the radar and unexpected new launch, this week (at Goodwood Festival of Speed) from Wells Motor Cars is the Vertige. Although not a kit (sadly), it is very specialist and extremely interesting.
It’s been developed in secret and has been designed to be simple to own and fun to drive. The instigator of the project is entrepreneur, Robin Wells, who has been working on the Vertige (French for vertigo, by the way) since 2014 when he was looking for a sportscar to buy.
Not satisfied with the choice on offer, he decided to create his own engaging the services of the More >
