After washing your car, a typical method for drying your car is to use a drying towel that is made specifically for this purpose. Another option for drying off your vehicle after a wash is to use an air blower. This involves using an air blower (think leaf blower) to blow all the remaining water off the surface of your car. It’s important to not let any leftover water to dry on the vehicle, otherwise you might be left with water spots on your car. One of the highest CFM electric blowers that I’ve found is the TORO PowerJet F700 electric leaf blower, which cuts down on the amount of time I’ve had to use a drying towel significantly.
A highly recommended and easy-to-use wax is a liquid wax called Collinite No. 845. This is now a well-known wax that is widely available to consumers. However, I remember about a decade ago when I first used this product and having to go to a boating product retailer called West Marine to purchase it. In fact, Collinite No. 845 was initially created for power companies to coat their insulators, hence the name ‘Insulator Wax’.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior cleaning up the interior of your personal vehicle, or a mobile car detailer working several cars a day, I truly believe that this is the perfect shop vac for car detailing. Not only does it have enough power for vacuuming most things you’ll encounter in the cabin of a car, it also offers an invaluable car cleaning kit with all the right attachments.
We purchased this NOCO Boost XL GB50 jump starter as we were experiencing many dead batteries in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. With us luckily being able to work from home, we were rarely driving our vehicles and as a result, the car batteries would go dead after 2-3 weeks of not driving. With the help of the NOCO Boost jump starter, we are able to jump start our cars whenever the battery died. We’d then drive the vehicles where we needed to and on a longer drive it would charge up the battery again.
The 2019 ES 350 is built on Toyota’s Global Architecture K Platform. Aside from the efficiencies in the manufacturing process, there are a number of improvements such as improved fuel economy lower center of gravity for better handling, increased chassis stiffness, better steering response, and better ride quality. It’s incredibly quiet, operates smoothly, has plenty of power to thrust you back into your plush leather seats, and looks good inside and out. With the reasonable price point and bulletproof reliability of these vehicles, it’s a no brainer if you’re looking to venture into the luxury sedan market.
Audew reached out to me to write a review on a portable tire inflator and I was ecstatic to try it out. The thought of having a portable tire inflator that uses power from the car’s cigarette lighter was very interesting to me as I never thought of this even being available.
I’ve always been a fan of clothing that has an automotive history associated with it. Personally, I’ve always had an affinity with brands such as Alpinestars, Honda, and Yamaha to name a few. So when motorsport apparel company Oloi reached out to me, it picqued my interest. Oloi provided me with a few articles of clothing from their line of motorsports apparel to try out and review. I wore them several times over the course of a few weeks and have provided my review here.
Getaround is a car sharing platform that provides cars for rent from other people looking to rent out their cars. The nice thing about Getaround is that if you need the car for only a few hours, then you can do that and you are charged at a particular rate. For those who don’t want to rent a car for a minimum of a day (or days at a time) such as Turo, this can be a better option. In my experience with needing a truck simply to haul stuff around, it worked. The truck was not in the best condition and I had to fend for myself when I felt I needed help (as a new user) at times, but I got the gravel I needed and the price was right.
When I was introduced to the Booster App a couple years ago, the company had just started off. They were founded in 2015 and had come off several rounds of funding. I was given a promo code that gave me $10 in free gas, so I figured I would use it one time, get the free gas, and abandon the app. Fast forward to today and I still use the app to fill up gas.
