Do you need to get the bumpers on your car back to black? Have they faded to a horrible dull grey colour? With so many different products on the market which is the best way to get them back to that deep showroom blackness?
You’ve probably seen reference to them all; protectants, detailers and bumper dressings, all designed to transform the look of your car bumpers and car trim back to new.
The problem with many of these products is that they make your trim look great on first application but will only tend to last a matter of weeks before they fade away and you then have to re-apply to get that car back to black look again.
So what causes the fading problem in the first place and how do you find a more permanent fix to you faded bumpers?
With so many car wash products on the market, choosing which ones to have in your kit bag can be a little confusing. Especially to anyone just starting out in the world of detailing.
Here I will explore some of the essential items anyone from beginner to expect should always have in their detailing kit bag.
The first may come as a bit of a surprise. If like millions of other car owners you regularly use a sponge to wash your car, please make an immediate change and Ditch That Sponge!
By the very nature of their make-up, if a sponge traps even the smallest amounts of dirt or grit between it and your paintwork it will tend to suck up the water leaving the grit to drag across the surface of your paintwork as you wipe, leaving fine swirls and scratches behind it.
In this latest post we look at what is a clay bar and how best to use them in detailing your car, helping you to get the best finish and shine you can out of the precious time you spend on your cherished motor.
Although now much more commonly used in the detailing fraternity than ever before, the clay bar is still one of detailings best kept secrets.
Using a clay bar can significantly improve the surface of your paintwork to give a silk smooth finish and ultimately help achieve the incredibly deep shine you are always looking for.
Even after over 10 years of first recommending them we still get asked what is a clay bar and do they really work? Hopefully this article will provide you with the answers to these questions.
So what is a , why does it work and how do you use it…?
Following on from Part 1 of this tyres review and knowing what can happen when a tyre goes I immediately looked up tyres review for a set of replacement tyres. I had a conversation with one of the guys at A-line Wheel Tracking who told me all about the new tyre ratings and how many tyres with excellent grip unfortunately had poor fuel consumption ratings and vice-versa.
At that point I then decided to research the tyres review sites to try to find the best tyre for both grip and fuel economy. So off to read as many tyres review sites as I could find.I soon stumbled across a tyre that looked to good to be true from the tyres review and sales sites. The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance.
Ok, so you might be asking why is a tyres review appearing on a blog about car care? At some point I may have wondered myself, but from recent experiences I can personally vouch for the fact that car care is more than just about how your vehicle looks, it also encompasses its performance as well your own safety when driving. In this post I share with you how a recent blow-out and changes in tyres to Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance has made a real difference to me, my vehicle and my family.
I have split this into 2 parts – Part 1 below gives the background to writing this tyres review including the findings from the blow-out and Part 2 details more about the performance of my final choice of tyres – the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance.
