13/07/10 - Fresh air Motorists can now eliminate harmful bacteria – and the resulting nasty odours – from their car air-conditioning system with Autoglym’s new Air-Con Sanitizer. The easy-to-use application treats the entire air-conditioning system in less than 20 minutes and provides durable protection against the return of the unwanted micro-organisms. The single-use aerosol is designed to discharge the sanitizing formulation into the main vehicle cabin. With the ventilation system set to re-circulate, the sanitizer is drawn into the air-conditioning system and permeates the vehicle cabin. This allows it to cleanse the air-conditioning system while also disinfecting the upholstery, dash surfaces and carpets. It kills not only existing bacteria, but also any ‘nasties’ that make contact with treated pipes and surfaces for the following six months. It leaves a subtle, pleasant lemon fragrance. Air-Con Sanitizer retails at £11.99 and is on sale from motor accessory shops.

These high quality ingredients do not strip your wax protection – they preserve and reinforce wax for a deeper, longer lasting shine. The clear coat safe formula is the ideal way to maintain Meguiar’s traditional mirror-deep shine in between regular waxing.The full range of Meguiar’s products, is available from all good independent accessory shops.

The red palm features a foam pad for applying polish, while the blue version is used to at the end of the process for a streak and smear-free finish. The device weights only 12 grams and can used by left and right-handed people and can be flipped over to the back of the hand to work on those hard-to-reach places. Apparently it took 5 years to develop this product and the blue and red palms can be used with a wide variety of products. The palms cost £5.99 each and are available from all good motoring shops. |
