Remember the days when you lovingly scrubbed your daily driver with a “soft” sponge? Despite all your well-meant efforts, scratches and marring (very light scratches) were an inevitable byproduct. Turns out those “soft” sponges weren’t so soft after all. Typical car wash sponges are made of…
An air compressor is one of the most versatile tools for DIYers as well as professionals. They can power an array of air tools from staplers to large capacity paint guns. They come in handy too when you want to inflate pool stuff, a soccer ball or your vehicle’s tires. However, you want to get the right air compressor that is able to run all the air tools you’re going to use it for, and then some. If you buy an underpowered one, then you won’t be able to run all your tools, or not continuously. On the other hand, if you choose a huge beast that can run all your tools simultaneously all day long without breaking a sweat, it might take up too much space, be impossible to move around and you’ll end up spending way more than you need to. You’ll also want to…

We always look forward to bringing out our car cleaning kit to get all of that dust and grime off our cars and make them shine like a diamond. Passionate car people will relate to that. There’s nothing more satisfying than that first drive in a freshly washed and detailed car. However, there’s more to cleaning a car than wiping it clean with an old sponge, some dish soap and a random towel. You want to use the right products and techniques so you don’t scratch your car paint. The aggressive degreasing action of that multipurpose product won’t bring out that deep shine you crave either. With this random stuff, you’re likely to achieve the opposite effect and make your car…
There’s more to a car battery than meets the eye. At first glance, between different car batteries, it’s just their color, label and size that differ. Looks can be deceiving though. It’s a battery’s internals that make the difference. These are…
Most people only pay attention to their car battery when they have difficulty starting their car or when it dies at the most inconvenient of times (of course).
There’s a simple way to keep you out of trouble though: you’re ahead of the game if you test your car battery every once in a while with a car battery tester and…
Most people only consider buying a car battery charger when their car won’t start on a cold winter’s day or when their car battery is drained because they left their lights on. It’s money that most are reluctant to spend. But once you’ve bought one, you’ll be able to maintain your car battery in optimal conditions, sometimes doubling or even…
