NOPE. I’M NOT GOING NEAR ANY STRIPPER JOKES!
Aug 2nd
When carrying out any restoration we all need to strip paint or remove rust at some time and the latest product from Moss Europe makes light work of a usually tedious task. The Eastwood Surface Conditioning Tool features a rotating drum and a high-torque, ball-bearing supported motor with hardened spur gears to provide smooth operation and long life.
Speed is easily controlled with a six-position rotary knob and an on/off trigger control while a drum guard enclosure and a rigidly mounted ‘D’ handle provide operator protection and ergonomic comfort while working.
The Surface Conditioning Tool can be ordered as Part Number: 012-268 More >
LOVING THIS ONE
Aug 2nd
Of the many artisan car care companies, one I really like is TDG, who also blend their own elixirs and waxes.
They recently sent me their Fruit Salad Car Shampoo to try. Yes, that’s right. It has the scent of those little fruit salad chews we had as kids. Tasty niffs aside, I recently tried the product out on a couple of dirty cars and it worked superbly.
Plenty of foamy suds, it removed the worst of the crud without additional input from me, it rinsed away easily and left a shiny, drag-free paint surface.
A little goes a long way, making the More >
SURGING AHEAD
Aug 2nd
The latest Aeroflow surge tank with twin fuel pumps is capable of handling surge free fuel for high performance 1000+ BHP vehicles.
The 2.5-litre spun alloy Surge Tank Kit is not only great quality, it’s also great value for money.
The anodised black finish will resist corrosive fuels such as alcohol, ethanol (E85) and methanol. The kit comes with all the necessary adapters to connect the two Bosch fuel pumps (0580254044) to the dual bottom outlets on the tank.
Both pumps are held in a dual EFi aluminium fuel pump bracket that comes with rubber inserts that surround the pumps and dampen any More >
SPRAY AND SHINE
Aug 2nd
A ridiculously effective car care product that I’ve been using with success lately is Ultimate Fast Finish from Meguiar’s.
It’s an aerosol formula that you simply spray on to your car’s bodywork, wipe off and watch the surface shine. I can do a car with it in about eight minutes, it’s that simple and easy to use.
In addition to a cool shine, the surface will be more resistant to dirt thanks to the synthetic polymer coating and the water-beading ability is insane after use. It’s available from between £16 to £20 and the box also includes a quality microfibre cloth. One More >

CONTACT MADE
Aug 2nd
Amazingly, in this digital age, there are still some classic Mini owners who are still using contact breaker ignition, possibly for reasons of originality. Now Mini Spares can offer a ‘Fixed Point’ electronic ignition conversion that it fits entirely inside the stock distributor cap!
All previous ignition kits utilised an external black box, not the sort of thing you want under the bonnet of your standard-looking engine compartment! No such problem with the new Pertronix Ignitor electronic ignition conversion kit and once you’ve installed the magnetic trigger and sensor, you will never have to change points again.
The other benefit is the More >
