Our test of 225/45 R17 rubber was hit by the same travel restrictions as the winter tyres, with braking being the sole dry run we conducted, but we managed to complete all the other tests in Ivalo, Finland, and Hanover, Germany. This sector is growing fast, and several makers were unable to take part because they have new designs launching later in 2021. While we had to split some tests and rely on remote expert help for others due to the pandemic, our annual trip to a light tunnel was achieved via a long online meeting and multiple cameras. With the help of Philips, we witnessed 10 single-filament H7 bulbs tested in its facility in Aachen, Germany, from the UK. We were particularly keen to make this test happen, because Philips had just increased performance levels with a bulb that promised 200 per cent more light in the beam, up from 150 per cent before. A sealant is a protective product used in the final stage of detailing that is made up of polymers. Most sealants are made to form a chemical or covalent bond to the surface of your paintwork which allows the sealant to last longer than a traditional wax. Sealants also offer you stronger protection from the elements. Despite sounding scientific with phrases such as ‘chemical bonding’, paint sealants can actually be easy to apply. Some of our sealants will have YouTube videos attached which will tell you all you need to know about how to apply them safely and properly. If you’re reading this, you’ll know using washing-up liquid to clean your car is not the way to go, because what’s good for cleaning greasy plates is not what you want for grit-covered paintwork. Yet the question over what you should use remains, and that’s what we aim to answer here.
A soft rag will be fine for removing the top layer of dirt, but for best results, like a dedicated wheel cleaner, use a wheel brush. A wheel brush usually has soft bristles to reach all crevices of even intricate alloy wheels Seal your wheels with the Wonder Wheels Wheel Sealant & keep your rims and alloys cleaner for longer Slip a finger in a plastic bag, run it over your just-washed car, and chances are it will feel like sandpaper. If it does, you need a clay bar to remove those tiny particles and provide the best surface for a good bond, before applying a wax or coating. After claying, when you do the bag test, you should feel no grit. Once applied Wheel Seal keeps wheels clean for up to four weeks, sealing & protecting the surface, making the wheels much easier to clean next time round

Auto Finesse’s wheel wax is a tough synthetic wax that creates a hard-working barrier against the corrosive contaminants that cling onto wheels. A paste wax such as Auto Finesse Mint Rims gets our top choice for balancing durability with ease of application. Wheel cleaners and treatments have a justified reputation for smelling terrible but Mint Rims smells of…mint.There’s no doubt all-season tyres are the focus of many makers. The switch is driven by buyers looking for a solution that can cope with the extremes of our climate without needing to swap tyres twice a year. Plus, the rise of the SUV means the loss of the sharper steering of conventional tyres when swapping is no longer so critical. div>
