THIS WILL MAKE A TRICKY JOB A CINCH
Mar 19th
When manual or pressure bleeding brake or clutch hydraulic systems, it is essential to prevent fluid and air being pulled back into the system via the bleed nipple when the pedal or lever is released. The Laser Tools One Man Bleed Valve (part number 7700) allows a single person to perform the task without closing the nipple between pumps.
Use when one-man brake bleeding is required: fit the valve, open the bleed nipple, pump the pedal and let the fluid flow. Use when pushing the caliper pistons back before fitting new pads — stops old fluid being pushed back into the More >
FROM THE ANGELS
Mar 19th
This is a good product from car care meisters, Angelwax which is called Corona Synthetic Wax and has multiple uses and does all of them superbly in my experience.
I’ve always seen it as a great product for cleaning both interior and exterior plastic trim and rubber. It not only cleans and leaves a nice satin sheen it can also rejuvenate faded and dried out plastics. It’s possibly the best product of this kind I’ve ever used.
Another use is as wax for your paintwork, much like Collinite Insulator Wax, which are both synthetic waxes. Insulator Wax can be a bit tricky More >
SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT TOOL FROM SUMMIT RACING
Mar 19th
Let’s say you just installed some new suspension parts to improve your car’s handling. Or, maybe you want to dial in more negative camber for a trackday or replace worn-out struts or bushes on your daily driver. Any time suspension work is performed, your car will need the wheels realigned.
That used to mean scheduling a date with the alignment machine and not all tyre outlets have one of them. However, an SPC Performance FasTrax Camber Caster Gauge from Summit Racing, lets you perform wheel alignments at home or at the track. The portable, hands-free design allows you to fine-tune alignment More >

‘LEMON AID’ MAKES CLEANING GRIME EASY
Mar 19th
There are several things I like about this one. For start the company makes me smile as does the name of their all-purpose cleaner, Lemon-Aid and its little strapline of ‘keep your car’s scurvy at bay’!
There’s nothing funny about the quality of the products though as they do the job required of them. APC’s can smell a bit toilet cleaner, which is OK if they are used in unobtrusive areas but when you have to use them within your car’s interior that can be a bit off-putting.
However, Lemon-Aid has a pleasing, er, lemon scent and doesn’t smell or feel like More >

BE A KING OF GLOSS
Mar 12th
I’ve known about the Gloss Kings brand for some time and was very pleased to hear that in addition to selling other people’s products they’ve recently launched their own range of products.
I recently needed to clean some filthy wheels on one of my cars so decided to put their new Bloodline iron fall-out remover and Knight, their wheel cleaner through their paces.
The rear wheels weren’t too bad, so I used Knight on them, while the fronts were caked in crud so I reached for the more aggressive Bloodline product to help shift the grime and brake dust.
Firstly, Knight. It’s one More >
