Occasionally, I’ll hear some chatter online about some really premium hose nozzles from Eley. I found them on sale so I figured I’d give them a try. When you buy from Eley, it comes with the nozzle itself, which features this large heavy handle with a smooth, full-flow ball valve. You can attach these watering nozzles to give you a really nice full shower pattern of water. There are different screens you can install that can customize the exact volume and pattern that is emitted.

The GOOLOO A9 Ultra is a massive 6000A portable jump starter that doubles as an onboard air compressor. In addition to that, it can be used a power station, providing 100 Watt-hours of energy. It’s a massively-capable jump starter that is really useful to keep in your vehicle should an on-the-road emergency occur.

If you’ve looked for a dressing product for your plastics, rubber, or vinyl, it’s very likely that you’ve heard of someone mention Chemical Guys VRP. VRP stands for Vinyl + Rubber + Plastic. The main draw of this product is that it works well and it’s pretty cheap. It’s common to find detailers talk down Chemical Guys products, but if there’s one product that no one ever talks smack about, it’s the affordable but effective VRP.

Even though I’ve fixed the oil leaks on my project TT, I still need to deal with cleaning up the pre-existing oil stains in the engine bay and underneath the car. I usually use the typical liquid hand cleaners like Fast Orange or Gojo, but I got to test out some sample abrasive bar soaps that GRITT sent to me. They sent me their sample pack of abrasive hand soaps, which includes 3 different grits: 80, 120, and 220 “gritt”.

One of the most popular options for a long time now is Meguiar’s Hyper Wash. This car soap is extremely popular because of its tried-and-true formula, which does the job of cleaning your job well while leaving no additives behind. Meguiar’s even has a new scent called Watermelon Blast, which continues to offer you the same performance but with a brand new candy-like scent.

I’ve been holding on to this Leather Cleaner & Conditioner Kit made by Lexol for the longest time. I had the leather seats out of my Audi TT and knew this would be a great time to test it out. I’ll be using the Lexol Leather Cleaner and Conditioner Kit on these seats and providing my opinion on them.

Whenever I run out of hand cleaner, I find it to be a good time to try out a new one. I’ve mostly gotten the orange-type of hand cleaners, but I noticed this cherry-scented one that gets lots of good reviews. This is Cherry Bomb from Zep, an industrial hand cleaner that a lot of people seem to like.

You’ve probably heard of Vessi, as they are probably the most popular shoe brand right now that focuses on waterproof shoes. These particular shoes that I’m reviewing are the Vessi Weekend Shoes in Asphalt Black. The Weekend is a sneaker that is totally waterproof and comes in a wide variety of colors. This particular pair was provided to me by Vessi for the purpose of this review.

The shoes in this review are the Vessi Stormburst Low Top Waterproof Shoes. Compared to many of the offerings from Vessi, these look drastically different from the rest. To me, they look like a modern hiking shoe compared to some of the other more casual-looking sneakers that Vessi normally offers. In full disclosure, Vessi provided me with these shoes to test out and review.
