Thread: best automotive product you found this year

Tweet

The best product I have found is a little thing called Lock tight in stick form..... man someone was on the ball on this. I was really getting tired of wasting more of that stuff on the bottom of my toolbox drawer, I am betting that most have more lock tight in and on the toolbox, much more then ever was put on threads...

Lock tight on a stick .................................. the post a note of the car world

About time someone did that. I get more red locktite on my fingers than on the fastener. Great idea.

As for what products I have discovered this year, microfiber cleaning cloths. I have never had a black car and didn't know what to clean it with, but my Son Dan has had black ones and steered me to 3M glaze and microfiber cloths to polish it with. Regular diapers and all left scratches, but these two products buff the body with none.

Nice part is that I throw them in the washer and dryer and they come out like new.

i like those micofiber rags to they work awesome,

I was at SEMA and I saw some gauges I thought were pretty awesome. Apparently the gauge faces are changeable, and you can design you own. They also had a huge selection of pretty cool designs to choose from. I thought it was awesome because the colors of my car are red, black and florescent orange, so I might get some and design the faces to be florescent orange.

I've been using microfiber cloths for over a year to clean my windows, wheels and to polish my car. That is, until my wife found out where her microfiber cleaning cloths were disappearing to. Now I have to buy my own. Hers were a lot nicer quality then mine, guess I will have to find her source.

I just bought a dozen at Advanced Discount Auto, like $ 11.99 for the dozen. They wash up really well too.

When my Sons were in diapers, like 37 year ago, we used cloth diapers and a diaper service. Every week my wife noticed there were less and less diapers in the clean drawer........they made great polishing rags. And I keep wondering why she finally threw in the towel??

Eagle NaNo Detailer wax gets my vote.I preffer it two to one over Meguires.I also like the Microfiber.The two together work effortless.

ItoldYouSo diaper service,come on.In my day it was dump the bucket and head for the Washateria.

i got a new roll of handy dandy duct tape!and a new tube of super glue..
i might even splurge on a new roll of bailin wire

Best thing I found Led shop lights.
Locktite stick and gel both good products.

Unicoils. They allow you to bend straight rubber hose up to 90 deg. for custom applications, etc. I haven't come across any yet, so I don't know if they work as well as advertised. Here is a pic-

Unicoil is sold thru Carquest I kno, under the carquest logo.. I bought a couple.. they work decent enough, but I prefer a molded hose. I had to run the heater hoses along the firewall on my Turbo 6cyl falcon because of the turbo location. I tried the unicoils but they did not cut it, ended up using them to make a neater bend in a diffrent location than I intended to use them in
