Maintaining The Looks of Your Exhaust

We all know how important looks are of your precious car. Polishing the tips of your cars exhaust will not only complete the look of your car, but will also protect it from corrosion and other forms of build up. When cleaning the exhaust tip, we recommend using a degreaser and a metal polish. To start off, soak the tips with the degreaser and let the chemicals work its magic. Use a cleaning brush after a few minutes and start cleaning inside and outside the exhaust tip. After you’ve dried it off, it’s time to polish the exhaust. For this we recommend you polish using a steel wool for the first polish and then a microfiber cloth for the second. After you’re done, we guarantee you’ll see a massive difference.

Smart ForFour

From the same makers of the smart car, people might expect it to be a particularly small car, and it is, but it isn’t much smaller than the equivalent VW, at only 5cm smaller.

It uses space very efficiently, proving more interior space than most of its direct competitors, such as in boot space, and although it does sacrifice in size to an extent, the smaller turning circle makes up for this, allowing drivers to still park in much smaller spaces than in alternatives.

A New Volvo Estate

Volvo’s are non for creating larger than life Estate cars. The type of car we used to see in the Scooby-Doo cartoons! Now, it’s time to meet its more practical estate sibling. With the new Volvo V90 being released very soon. Estates like this are Volvo’s traditional hunting ground, of course. In recent years, though, they’ve not been quite as enormous inside. The car has gone from being able to fit a whole house inside, to comfortably fitting an average-sized family, plus luggage. To really shift your oddly named flat-pack furniture home in comfort, you’ve needed an E-Class estate. While still smaller inside than the Merc, this V90 is much more like it.
