A BIT ‘XTRA’ FROM MACHINE MART
Nov 4th

OBLITERATE IT AND THEN FINESSE IT!
Nov 4th
Designed for use in the pre-polish decontamination stage, ObliTARate Gel from Auto Finesse is a brand-new formula, developed in the form of a viscous liquid, designed to linger on surfaces for as long as possible as it actively dissolves sticky contaminants.
Safe for use on all painted and powdercoated surfaces, along with glass, solvent-resistant plastics, bare metal and brightwork trim, this solvent-based gel quickly melts away tar spots, glue residues, traffic cone rash and overspray, suspending them in the solution, above surfaces, and allowing them to be safely wiped away.
ObliTARate Gel is available in 500ml and 1-litre bottles, priced from £13.95.

KEEP COOL
Nov 4th
Keeping your turbo or supercharger system’s air intake temperatures low is the key to reducing the impact of heat soak and detonation and consistent power output. Air-to-water intercoolers like the ones made by Mishimoto are the way to do that.
Water can absorb and dissipate heat more effectively than air, so a smaller air-to-water intercooler is just as effective as a much larger air-to-air system. Having fresh water cycling through the core means more consistent intake temperatures, too.
Since air-to-water intercoolers don’t have to be directly exposed to an air source, you can put one anywhere in the engine bay. That helps More >
ULTIMATE ULTIMA
Oct 28th
I’ve been speaking to a couple of readers who have recently placed orders for the latest model from Ultima Sports, the RS Coupe, this week. Very excited boys, both of them!
Billed by the factory as the culmination of all the things that they’ve learnt over the years – the Marlows have been custodians of the marque since 1992 – and as such features the very best of everything it’s possible for them to produce.
The RS model uses either GM LS (LS3, LS7 or LSA) series or the recommended current LT generation, which feature LT1 (480bhp), LT4 (650bhp) or the brand More >
SEALED WITH A BOTTLE OF SEALANT!
Oct 28th
If you enjoy a proper bit of car detailing then this new product from car care giant, Meguiar’s may well be of interest. M27 Pro Hybrid Ceramic Sealant is out now.
I think the poor old sealant often gets overlooked. We all use snowfoam, car shampoo, polish and wax, in my view the sealant stage is one that shouldn’t be overlooked, and I like to apply it to my cars at least twice a year.
It should be used after you’ve cleaned and decontaminated your car’s body and it acts as a great base layer for a coat or two of wax. More >

GAMECHANGING ABILITY
Oct 28th
Users of dehumidifiers often worry about how their machine will be emptied when the water tank is full and there is no one around to empty it. This is particularly the case when used in a garage, basement or second home, which can be left vacant or unattended for long periods.

The pump is a gamechanger for the user, requiring no expertise to set up and install, and removing the worry and bother of having to empty the water More >
