“I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW THE RAIN HAS GONE … IT’S GONNA BE A BRIGHT, BRIGHT SUNSHINY DAY!”

Car glass can be a right pain to clean properly or more specifically be very tricky to avoid little smudges and/or smears. Even if you use a really good glass cleaner that leaves a shine it might be all but impossible to avoid pesky streaks.

This new pack from car care meisters and Royal Warrant holders, no less, Autoglym offers a solution. It includes two blue cloths and a green one.

The actual glass cloths work fine but do get dirty quickly. It’s the large screen cloth that I like. Its large size strikes you first and it is the king of More >

LOOK SHARP. FANCY SOME HERITAGE OVERALLS?

These new ‘heritage’ overalls from Renault caught my attention. They have been produced as part of a range of merch to help commemorate its speed record activities back in the day, which included Étoile Filante.

The very fetching blue overalls seen here tip their proverbial hat to the Renault-Cauldron Rafale C.460 aircraft.

Looking cool in French Racing Blue used by Renault’s record competitors these come in six sizes from small to XXL and have an illustration of an aircraft on the back. They are faithful reproductions and have period detailing as a result such as incorporated belt and also peaked pockets.

HANDY AND USEFUL

Premium quality lighting and auto accessory specialist, Ring, is continuing to develop its products to include more functions within a single piece of equipment.

STOPPING UPGRADE FOR ‘SPRIDGETS’

Those bastions of classic British car spares Rimmer Bros has just added AP Lockheed rear-wheel brake cylinders for Austin Healey Sprites and MK Midget Mk1. Crikey, there will be a good few totalkitcar readers with one of them or a car based around one of them.

This is a single-acting piston type and wears part number GWC1114AP. It’s a much better item than some third-party parts already out there, especially at the bargain price of £35.40 each.
