Armor All Clean & Shine Wipes
Auto EXPRESS Best Buy 2006 Waterless Car Wash Product & CAR CARE Product of 2007
A unique mix of cleansing agents, natural waxes and high performance silicones are impregnated in a large, soft, moist wipe, to safely capture grime and dirt and leave a streak-free, high-shine finish, at least comparable with a conventional 'wet wash', and without the need for rinsing, drying or dusting off.
"Ever since their launch a couple of years ago, we’ve been fans of Car Wash Wipes - now called Clean & Shine Wipes. They are a favourite of our road test team, and it’s easy to see why, as they lift dirt without damage and take no more effort than running a sponge over the car. ........the big wipes - made from stronger material than those for the interior - work out cheaper than spray-on cleaners, too. There’s no need for leathering, and they leave a decent shine with a water repellent finish. An easy winner." Auto EXPRESS Product Honours - 23rd May 2007

Carplan Tyre Slik
AutoEXPRESS' Product Honours WINNER for 2007
Winner of many awards in consumers tests, including 2004, 2005 AutoEXPRESS Product Honours Awards.
"Less than £4 buys you a truly remarkable product. As with bumper shines, the tyre versions have serious stamina, but few can match CarPlan’s serial winner, Tyre Slik. Again it is the standard all rivals must strive to match, clearly visible throughout the test it still had the strongest finish at the end — the rubber it protected remained distinctly cleaner than any rival’s. Remarkably, it was also one of the easiest to apply — simply spray and go — and the cheapest matched by only two other products in our 20-strong test. A great champion."

CarPlan Wonder Wheels
AutoEXPRESS' Product Honours WINNER for 2006, 2007 and 2008
Wonder Wheels is a consistently high performing alloy wheel cleaner. Easily lifts away dirt and brake dust. Contains: wheel cleaner, brush and dispensing container.
"Cleaning specialists CarPlan and Comma have been plugging it out at the top for years with their alloy wheel solutions. However, CarPlan yet again had the advantage with its Wonder Wheels cleaner. There is very little to choose between the two brands when it comes to shifting the worst of the baked-on grime, but Wonder Wheels has a slight edge on cost, thanks to the generously priced 1.0-litre pack, which also came with a cleaning brush. Our multiple champion still looks unlikely to be beaten anytime soon." AutoEXPRESS Product Honours 2007 - 23rd May 2007

Comma Interior Cleaner
AutoEXPRESS' Product Honours WINNER for 2006 & 2007
Anti-bacterial multipurpose interior cleaner. Ideal for cleaning interior trim, car seats (vinyl, cloth and leather), carpets and rubber mats.
"This is the kind of cleaner Comma made its name with. The big 750ml pack is offered at a price that most rivals charge for smaller bottles, and its performance is outstanding. And that’s not all! The trigger pack is versatile as it can be used on pretty much all interior surfaces, including leather. It left no sign of grease or juice and merely a trace of the chocolate. The finish isn’t for those who prefer gleaming plastics, but we like the clean matt Look. A great addition to any valeting kit." Auto EXPRESS Product Honours - 23rd May 2007
"A second award for Comma’s Interior Cleaner in this 2007 Product Honours. As in the trim cleaner category, it’s an unbeatable package, combing a great price with top performance. The fact it does both plastic and fabric is a real bonus, It made short work of our test stains, only the ink having some traces left. General grime shifting was as effective and could be seen not just on the seat but also the cleaning cloth. A great no-frills cleaner." Auto EXPRESS Product Honours - 23rd May 2007

Comma Super Glass Cleaner
AutoEXPRESS' Product Honours WINNER for 2007 and 2008
Superb glass cleaner from the masters of good value. Cleans windscreens, windows and mirrors inside and out.
"The budget entry from Comma really cut through the grease, leaving our test panel streak and smear free after only a couple of passes. Others matched its cleaning power in a competitive sector, but no other managed it at this price. At less then £4 for a litre of solution which works this well, it’s a combination that adds up to a winner for us. Our glass cleaning champion even has a pleasant citrus aroma."

Michelin Twin Barrel
AutoEXPRESS' Product Honours WINNER for 2007
A high quality double barrel footpump with ergonomic rubber tread plate. Rated to 100 PSI and is supplied complete with adaptors for cycles balls and airbeds. The Tri-Scale gauge is accurate to 1 PSI.
"Proving that when it comes to tyres, there’s little the French giant doesn’t know, Michelin took a clear victory in our foot pump category. The twin-barrel unit was the largest we tested, and that paid off as it was super-stable while being pumped, and the treaded plate gave good grip. Not only was this the easiest unit to use, but it also delivered the best test result, adding 6psi in 30 presses. A long hose, accurate gauge and sports adaptors completed a great all-round package that while not the cheapest was certainly the best value." Auto EXPRESS Product Honours - 23rd May 2007

Philips X-treme Power
Auto EXPRESS' CAR ACCESSORY OF THE YEAR 2007 and Product Honours Winner 2008
The NEW Philips X-treme Power headlamps project up to 80 per cent more light on the road ahead (depending on the headlight design). The light is powerful and intense, and the extra quality and quantity of light provided by X-treme Power lamps make them ideal for drivers who demand the ultimate performance. These bulbs are fully homologated for use in all European countries without restriction and are safe to use with plastic lenses.
Here's what Auto Express had to say about Xtreme Power: "This is so new, we could not randomly select test samples, so can't include it in our assessment. Yet performance of our pre production unit was staggering. Even compared with the current benchmark Plus per cent bulbs, the difference was immediate and dramatic. Philips claim an 80 per cent improvement over standard units, but we think that this is conservative." AutoEXPRESS
"ALL the electronic safety wizardry on today’s cars will not help if you can’t see the road ahead - which is why Philips’ X-treme Power takes our top accessory prize, as it sets a new benchmark for headlamp bulbs. When we tested it alongside both standard and high- performance bulbs, it put them all, literally, in the shade, Based on the light 75 and 50 metres ahead of the driver, the best beam rating the rest could manage was 107, but the new X-treme hit 146 - a massive difference easily seen on the light-tunnel wall. As with all high-performance bulbs, Philips has taken the tolerances allowed by the regulations and pushed them to the limit, not only burning the filament harder, but also reducing the glass envelope to increase gas pressure and deliver more Light. A brilliant road safety improvement." Auto EXPRESS Product Honours - 23rd May 2007

Sonax Clear View 1:100 Concentrated Lemon Screenwash
AutoEXPRESS' Product Honours WINNER for 2007 AND 2008
Highly concentrated cleaning additive for the windscreen washer, specially formulated for use in the summer months. 25 ml of the concentrate will produce 2.5 l cleaning solution. Removes insects, oil, soot, silicone and dangerous smears and films from windscreen. Smear-free cleaning power. Does not induce stress cracks in headlight lenses. Maximum safety achieved with minimum number of wiper passes. Fresh scents. Phosphate-free.
"Two wins on the trot for this German star, which continues to amaze. The small 250ml pack makes 25 litres, but it's packed with everything a screenwash needs. It left no trace of our test bugs and only the faintest smear of oil. A top performance from a product that's superb value too." Auto EXPRESS Product Honours - 7th May 2008
"As the name suggests, the 250ml pack will make a massive 25 litres. As a result it is very cost effective, Only faint traces of bug and oil were left on our screen, where just 100ml of summer concentration was used. No other wash could match the year-round ability of this little wonder." Auto EXPRESS Product Honours - 23rd May 2007

Turtle Wax Black in a Flash
AutoEXPRESS' Product Honours WINNER for 2006 and 2007
Colourless trim polish and protectant. Instantly restores original colour. For use on all types of vinyl, plastic and rubber. Protects against the effects of weathering and UV rays.
"WE are continually amazed by Black in a Flash's aerosol, as it never seems to throw in the towel. Two months on, it was still going strong when others had long since given up on beading water. It is easy to apply, and you can even use it on your tyres. A terrific performance from a great product, which is why Black in a Flash is our champion again - for the fourth year running."

Turtle Wax Platinum Extra Gloss
AutoEXPRESS' Product Honours WINNER for 2007 and 2009
Winner of the 2007 and now also the 2009 car polish test.
"There's no mistaking the similarity between Extra Gloss and past winner Gloss Guard, but somehow Turtle Wax has made this Platinum version even tougher. It goes on as easily as its stablemate, but from the start it had the edge, beading water noticeably faster. And it never stopped, as even weeks after our test was completed, a quirk check revealed it was still protecting our test bonnet. Older paintwork may need polishing first (Use Comma Car Polish), but our scrapyard panels weren't pre-treated and it still worked like a dream. A great winner." AutoEXPRESS Product Honours - 23rd May 2007
"Originally made to protect cars during harsh Scandinavian winters, it beaded consistently well. An affordable price and one of the easiest to apply, with no hard buffing." AutoEXPRESS - March 2009
