These wipers worked great and I liked them, but winter came and the performance has gone down. The wipers are not clearing evenly even on days when it's not super cold.
I bought a set of these a few years ago and really liked them as they seem to hold up well thru Kansas City winters.  I bought a second set for my 08 Silverado that takes a 22&#34; blade and Amazon shipped them promptly but the blades in the boxes measured 20 1/2&#34; inches.  I contacted Auto Tex and they told me the all blades should measure about 1/2&#34; shorter than the size on the box, but not 1.5&#34; shorter.  I didn't want to go thru the hassle of returning the blades to I kept them on my truck.  Auto Tex makes a great blade and I'd buy them again despite me recent problem.
I, for one, don't spend a lot of time thinking about windshield wipers. But I sure notice when they don't do the job. We decided to give the AutoTex "PINK" bracketless wiper a try. We got one for the driver's side of my wife's Toyota Tacoma truck. The driver's wiper is the pink and the other is the factory wiper.In the high wind simulator (the car wash's dryer blower), the factory wiper blade lifted up off the windshield. The pink stayed put. One point for the pink. On rainy days (we get a lot here), the pink left no streaks. The factory wiper did leave some "rain tracks". Another point for pink.We have only had the wiper on for a few weeks, so I can't report on how long these blades will continue to perform. I can say that the difference is easily seen, and I will be getting a blade for the passenger side too. There is one other thing I really like about the pinks: the way they look on the truck. Very sleek. I also expect that these blades won't freeze in winter since there is no visible frame for ice to form.This product is better than traditional wipers and the price is comparable to high-quality conventional wiper blades.
I got this for my brother who badly needed a new wiper for his car. It took him half a minute or so to attach it, and it works perfectly. This is a high quality product, much better than the average wiper blade, and its design not only makes it more effective at doing its job, but it's also more attractive than the standard wiper blade. Some of the proceeds from sales of this blade are being donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, so in addition to getting a quality wiper blade, you're contributing to a worthy cause. Naturally, I recommend it.Brian W. Fairbanks
They where very easy to install and worked great right out of the box would recommend to anyone! Snap and click an you are done... Didn't need ANY directions to install but I guess some might.
these work as well as any other brand but sure cost a lot. I did notice a little better cleaning than the WalMart cheapies but they do seem much heavier so I'm sure they will last a lot longer as well. We had an absolute down pour the day after I put it on, the kind you can barely see the road, this keep the window crystal clear & did seem to clean it closer to the glass from the wind & rain than my Walmart one I had on the other side. I'll be anxious to see if they work better in the heavy,wet, icy snows we get in the bitter Iowa winters. I'll update in December or so after it goes through a big storm.
A review of this wiper blade was entered in the AutoTex 18" by mistake.However, the same thing applies to this offering.  You can get one blade, but not two that are needed.  Vine should consider this before offering items like this.To purchase a second AutoTex wiper blade via Amazon would cost 3 times as much as I spend on wiper blades, and I truly don't believe the AutoTex blades can wipe rain off my windshields three times faster.Not a good offer for Amazon Vine
...When you install it on your car. The packaging says PINK is very large letters, but the frameless blade is the traditional flat black color.No brackets (frames) means there is no place for water to collect and freeze in winter. That is a big improvement over stock wiper assemblies. I haven't tried them in cold weather yet, but I am certain the frozen frame problem can't occur with these innovative blades.Each package contains adapters for older style slide lock, top lock and button release type wiper arms. For newer cars like mine, the "G" adapter that comes already fitted to the blade allows for installation in a matter of seconds.
rain season is coming so I was thinking of replacing the wiper blades on my cars--Honda Odyssey and Honda Civic.The locking mechanism is so easy to replace it's incredible.Basically the Honda cars come with the same wiper locking adapters where you use your nail to clip open the top locking lid.Then pull the blade portion down (to unhook the main wiper arm from it's U-shape hook).Then it basically just slides out very easily.I didn't see a 26" version even though that's what's on my cars (both) (22" and 26").I took the 28" version and to my amaze, it fit as well.  It's an inch longer on both ends and it doesn't extrude over the windshield glass section or hitting the border.The wiper makes a very clean sweep and very low noise level.It's aerodynamic enough where it doesn't create extra wind noise (compared to your stock ones).The wipers are light weight and curves just perfectly to cover the entire sweeping path/area.Highly recommended.
I have the hook style wiper, so installation was less than 5 minutes for both blades. The blade is 100 % plastic/rubber which means no rust. The blades are pricey, yet they conform to windshield more effectively than the metal kinds. This company is owned by women, and part of the proceeds goes to Cancer research. Overall, a great product worth checking out.  I haven't used in snow/ice winter conditions (which is why only 4 stars) and will edit review accordingly at a later date. Hopefully, they won't stick to the windshield.I feel for the person who was disappointed they could not get two of the same size. Personally, all my vehicles have had two separates sizes.
I drive a lot of miles every year, especially in rain and bug season here in Florida, so I frequently replace my wiper blades. The passenger side blade was streaking, so I was looking to replace that anyway so this came in handy. I've put it to the test, and it works well to clear my windshield of rain or of bugs while using wiper fluid. The installation was the easiest ever! The quality/construction is very good, and the price is reasonable. I would definitely consider this brand again.
I put a pair of these (22" & 24") on my 2007 Honda Ridgeline this morning before taking it to the car wash. Like most of the newer blades they go on extremely easily (maybe five minutes for both, including opening the packaging) and the appear to be really well made. They're noticeably heavier than the premium Valeo "Ultimate" blades they replaced with most of the added heft in the blade material itself. They effortlessly wipe the windshield sparkling clean and should be ideal of all of the snow we usually encounter each winter here the Northeast. We spend a lot of time in snow-bound Vermont so they'll really get a good workout up there.Since my wife is a 10-year+ breast cancer survivor I'm really pleased that AutoTex has brought out this "PINK" series of blades and will be donating some of their profits to support the Breast Cancer Foundation and help put an end to this disease that will strike 1 out of every 8 women here in the U.S.!
I made the switch to frameless wipers a couple years ago.  I found they work much better than the factory wipers.  And the ones I have used in the past work very well (Michelin).I had a chance to try these and what an improvement.  This wiper has at least one feature missing from the ones I have used.  Where the wiper attaches to the wiper arm, there's a little cover that snaps open.  The wiper blade simply snaps onto the wiper arm, and the little door closes, giving a nice clean appearance and one additional assurance that the wiper blade will stay on the car!These wipers also feature the pink ribbon symbol, tastefully placed on the wiper arm showing your support for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.The wiper blade and all other parts are the normal black plastic and rubber that one expects.  There is a large assortment of parts intended to adapt the wiper to various makes and models of cars (these fit my 2004 Chrysler Crossfire without any of the adapters).  They look great and wipe the glass super-clean.I am very happy!
Let me first get the "Pink" issue out of the way. I guess I am finally becoming so overloaded with "correct thinking" bombardment that I now am irritated that I have to be reminded on the package that this is a "woman owned" company. Does it make any difference? Does this company owner need any extra help because she is a woman? We have been so conditioned to believe otherwise. I'm confused. I can hardly wait until we get past all that. I'm OK with the contribution to fight breast cancer, but I really would prefer to donate outright rather than pay more for an auto part than it is worth in order to make my contribution to the cause. Now about the wiper . . . .Around town and at low speed, great wiping performance. Period. I kind of like the "bracketless"concept. Actually, the "bracket" is built into the rather thick blade backing structure.Also built into that structure is a neat little air spoiler designed to hold the blade down against the windshield at speed. Strangley, that is the source of a problem with this wiper.  The spoiler works great for a blade mounted on the left (driver side) and extending to the right.  But . . . for those cars (such as my GM mini-van) with the passenger side wiper mounted right annd extending in toward the left . . . THE SPOILER IS EDGED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.  It serves to lift the wiper from the windshield at speed and is not removeable.  Bad.Sorry I can't be totally positive with this review, but this is my thorough and complete take on this premium priced wiper.
Installation on my Camry was very simple, pop'd-off the old ones and attached the new, could not be more than 30 seconds per blade. The blade is similar to Bosch Icon, it's one piece construction, with pressure on whole width of the blade for smoother wiping. Works really well, no complains for about 3 weeks now. I also applied RainX (original) recently to my windshield, so the combination is working superbly. This review covers 20" and 22" inch sizes.
I never thought I would get excited over wiper blades... these have a great weight and feel to them, and the curvature looks like it will work better than those with less of a 'bent.' One pet peeve I have with wiper blades is when they loose their 'contact' with the windshield.I cannot determine their snow and ice efficiency because it's almost 100 degrees F outside now.  But the design looks like it will be better than my standard ANCO blades.
I used this wiper blade to replace a wiper on my 2003 Toyota Corolla. This model has 1 24" blade and one 18". This blade fit perfectly and works great. It has a smooth, quiet stroke and doesn't leave any streaks. The only quality that remains to be evaluated is how long the blade lasts until it requires replacement but so far, so good.
Update 5/4/2013: I finally needed to replace these -- in October 2012!  That's more than two years after I installed the original blades!  Not bad for blades that "should" be replaced every six months.Updated 12/31/2011:  I still have the same blades on my car, and they still wipe as good as the day I installed them!  I can't believe they're lasting this long!I ordered this wiper, along with theAutoTex "PINK" - Black Metal Wiper Blade - 19" , Pack of 1, for my 2008 Hyundai Sonata.It was very easy to replace my old wipers with these, except for one exception (which isn't the fault of this blade, but my old blade assembly and my arthritic fingers). With age, the old connector was difficult to pry open.  I don't expect this problem when my blades need to be replaced again (because I plan on replacing these every 6 months).The instructions claim these wiper blades take five minutes to replace.  That's way more than I needed.  I think it took me a couple minutes to replace BOTH blades.The best praise I can give for these blades?  When I took my car into the shop for an oil change, the mechanic told me that these were really high quality wipers.  It takes a lot to impress my mechanic, but these blades did it!  When my wipers need replacing again (about every six months is recommended), I'll use these AutoTex "PINK" Premium Wiper Blades again.
Let me first get the "Pink" issue out of the way.  I guess I am finally becoming so overloaded with "correct thinking" bombardment that I now am irritated that I have to be reminded on the package that this is a "woman owned" company.

Also built into that structure is a neat little air spoiler designed to hold the blade down against the windshield at speed.  I really like it.My only negative is the mounting bracket device.  My car uses the ubiquitous hook/loop system.  When installing the wiper, I could not obtain a distinctive locking click.  The wiper seems to be firmly in place, but it definitely is not locked, and in fact I can force it off without depressing the locking tab.  I've been changing wipers for decades and this is the first time I have ever experienced this lack of locking.  At this price, that is not really acceptable. The wiper has not fallen off, however.  If it does, I will edit my review and share that problem.Sorry I can't be totally positive with this review, but this is my thorough and complete take on this premium priced wiper.
I've purchased the AutoTex wipers 3 previous times for my wife's van and my truck.  The wipers do an excellent job at clearing the windshield during the warmer months but don't seem to last long (haven't found a brand that does) especially in colder weather.  I typically get about 6-8 months use out of them but the last set I got didn't last that long.  One of the blades had and end cap fall off and the plastic latch that secures the blade to the arm kept popping up.  The issues I had were just with one blade and may have been caused by ice after a winter storm but the verdict is still out on these for use in the winter.
"Pink" here, leaves streak free wipes, even when dirt and grime such as pollen, sap and bird droppings have built up on the windshield.  I'm very pleased with its performance thus far, and installation was a snap.  It took me literally less than a minute to pull the old blade off and snap this much cooler profile blade on top.  The breast cancer ribbon is a subtle but powerful reminder of the efforts this company goes to to be socially conscious.  Very cool.  The only reason this product doesn't get 5 stars is because the durability is something I haven't been able to vouch for yet as the rainy season approaches.
I installed this on my wife's 2009 Civic 4 Door Sedan, replacing the original Honda wiper. I'm not sure if it is better to fully replace the wiper, or just buy a replacement blade from the local Honda dealership. After nearly 2 years of use, the original blade was showing signs of deterioration, but the rest of the OEM wiper assembly looked fine; I'll keep it around for when this wiper wears out.This AutoTex blade is a good looking wiper blade. It easily installed, taking perhaps 30 seconds to snap into place using the default mounting hardware. Alternative mounting adaptors are provided, but the standard one works with the Civic. It uses a bracketless design that is a bit floppy in appearance, but should keep snow and ice from getting in disrupted cleaning when it is needed most, in snowy conditions.There is a small pink breast cancer logo where the wiper arm meets the wiper. It's clearly visible when driving, which may or may not be something you want to deal with emotionally.
Autotex did a good job of thinking "out of the box" when they designed this frameless wiper arm and blade. There are no hinges to collect water and freeze in the winter. So, these would qulify as "snow blades".Autotex did a horrible job with the package labelling and graphics. 95% of wiper blade shoppers are guys who avoid the color pink. These guys are going to walk by the purple and pink package that says PINK in letters 6 times the size of the words "Wiper Blade". While it is true that the product itself is black, the package implies otherwise. I think it's admirable that the manufacturer donates money to breast cancer research that will potentially benefit my mother, my sisters, my wife and my daughter. Too bad the package will cut sales drastically.One more thing, I was careful to order the right blade for MY application. Why does the package include adapters for several OTHER applications?
I originally bought this product on a whim, thinking that it would do just as good a job as my Turtle Wax Wash and Wax. As soon as I poured it into the bucket and started getting ready, I can tell the product was already better quality than my previous washing liquid. It created a lot of suds, and only 4 capfuls was needed to wash my entire car! Plus the smell was an added bonus! It smelled like citrus fruit and did not bother me the whole time I was washing. It made washing my car pretty enjoyable.
I have been addicted to Meguiars Gold Class car wash for years and have never used anything else. It is fantastic and gives a nice shine afterwards as well. The water beads up and it is very easy to dry. It seems as if it is a shampoo and conditioner. I went to the auto parts store and found Meguiar's "Ultimate car wash" on sale for $7.99 and thought I would give it a try. I was a bit disappointed. It is a strange yellow color and it is thick and I personally did not care for the smell. It cleaned very well, but it was almost as if the wax was gone after I used it. The car was not slippery anymore, it had am actual layer of water and not beads, so it was harder to dry as well, even with an absorber. I have only used it a couple of times on two different cars and I think that ... I am going to pass it up and go back to the Gold Class ! I may try it once more, but if it produces the same result I am going to toss it out in the trash. No wonder it is on sale. "Ultimate" ? I don't think so.
The first time I used waaaaay too much. After a couple washes I found an ounce is all you need for a mid sized car that isn't truely a mess. Even worked great on my snowblower and rider. Made them shine too!!! What a bonus.
I know what the label states, that this is a wash and wax. Friends ---if there is any great lasting wax shine after you wash your car then I have done something wrong. This is avery good car wash and if your vehicle needs waxing then don't expect miracles coming out of this product. I used a paste wax after washing and got good results. That was I believe entirely from the paste wax and not anything left from the washing. The price is very reasonable for this product and it is a five star product.
This is a pretty good soap used in between waxes. I usually use Gold Class, which I think suds better in my pressure washer bottle, and I think the gold class might do a bit better as a cleaner for caked on dirt. However this gets a much better shine in between waxes. I believe this preserves the wax layer longer and keeps your car looking great. This is much thicker then the Gold Class soap, and has a very pleasant smell to it. The instructions recommend drying with a towel immediately after washing a section with it, however when I use my CRSpotless to rinse it off (spot free dry/clean), then I think it shines/brings the wax finish out more so then towel dry.I think this has it's place in my cleaner assortment. Usually I'll pull this out if I have to do light washes shortly after a wax. This doesn't seem to bring any significant shine or wax to a car that has no wax layer (comparable to what you'll see from any decent cleaner like Gold Class).
I've been using Meguiar's Wash and Wax on my Corvette for years, and it's a good wash for cars. It produces a lot of suds without using a whole lot. In fact, I find that less is better than more. If you use too much, it can leave a slight film on your car from the wax which is especially noticeable on dark vehicles. If it happens though, it is easily removed by wiping with a good polishing cloth. Meguiar's Wash and Wax is also not really a good substitute for an occasional real waxing. It is good to extend the period of time in between waxings."Meguiar's Wash and Wax" cleans well, and its hybrid blend of waxes offers a little bit of extra protection. As long as you don't use too much, and don't substitute it for an occasional real wax job, I recommend it.
Just like any other car high quality car wash but has lots of bubbles which I like. Cleans your car very well. Shines it up good!
its ok just wanted to try something new.  This product cost a little bit more then the Meguiars Gold Car Wash. and the bottle is 48oz compared to 64 oz for the  Gold Car Wash.  personally if you can get the Gold was for $6.97, that is a good deal.so in the End both products wash about the same.  If you want to see a different in your car.  Invest the time to WAX IT.update Wow How things change. Don't think its worth 13.87$
Super easy to use, just pour some into water and you're done!This will help maintain your car waxed, and will not remove old wax as most car wash liquids do.The smell of this is absolutely stunning, makes you want to wish the the smell was inside the car and not outside!Cons: A bit pricey, but quality matters, and this product absolutely has it.Worth every cent for sure! In my personal use, this is enough to last at least 3-4 months. (just washing one car)
Best wash and wax soap money can buy! Meguiar's is one of the top products out there for car detailing. This stuff is great. Leaves my black car shinning bright! 10 out 10!!!
My car lives outside in the sun so unfortunately it collects a lot of baked on environmental contaminates (dirt, pollen, water spots, etc).  I've used this soap for a few washes so far and it has worked great.  This is a highly concentrated yellow soap that goes in the bucket with a "plop".  Since it's so thick, only a small amount is necessary to create a large amount of lubricating sud to wash your car with.I tend do add more than is necessary to the bucket for a little more protection as I'm washing.  Adding too little soap will increase the tendency of your wash mitt to damage the clear coat on your car by grinding contaminants into the surface.  This thick, high quality soap helps prevent against that.As for the "wax" part, I haven't noticed any appreciable increase in shine after washing.  I suspect that whatever effect there is, it is mild and probably acts as more of a restorative "freshning" for a wax coating that is already on your car.  If you're washing an old car, don't expect any difference in shine after your done.
I'm a Meguiar's product lover and this here is another prime example as to why I use their products. Lasting shine that keeps car looking showroom finish. Makes water bead up preventing water spots when drying.
Cleans all the dirt, smells great and keep your car shinnyi love Meguiar's products and for me this is the best shampoo for my car
Despite already knowing that washing and waxing go together about as good as trying to stick equal ends of a magnet together, I decided to purchase this to give it a shot.  1st, am a huge Meguiars loyalist and I tend to use their professional line up of products due to experience and owning my own automotive detailing business.  2nd:  being in the business of detailing vehicles I've grown accustomed to utilizing the appropriate steps thorought the detail process.  I purchased this for my own vehicle for a trial and error run.  One thing that I will say about the product that is positive is if you are tight on time and waxing is not a choice, I would recommend this product for you as something is better than nothing.  However, keep in mind that it will not produce the quality of protection or shine that a hand or machine applied proper wax would.  This is due to 2 reasons:  1: you are waxing while washing, the coverage is not as thorough, it's essentially as if you'd wax before washing.  It's going up break down because it's diluted.  Secondly, a major advantage of a paste or liquid wax is the application of the product itself.  You will find much better coverage and masking of paint defects when the right steps are taken.  Meaning more shine.  I'm not tryin to deter anyone away from trying this product nor disagreeing with the positive votes.  Just giving some useful feedback about the truth behind the product other than basing my rating off of the fact that it smells good.
I've been using this car wash soap for some time now. What really drew my attention to it is that you pay 10 bucks for 48 oz., whereas most other car wash soaps are 5, 6 bucks or a little more for 64 oz. It made me think maybe it's a better product, so I gave it a try. I don't depend on the soap to wax my car in any way at all, but I do notice that the suds are really nice and last all the way to the end of the whole car washing process, but it does seem to leave a very nice shine to the car and leaves the paint looking really clean, especially when it's been waxed. I use 2 tablespoons, pretty much a standard medicine cup that you get when you buy cough syrup. I think it amounts to 4 cap-fulls, but I prefer using the medicine cup. I take my Home Depot "Homer" bucket and put the spray nozzle in the bottom and fill it until the nozzle becomes covered in water and the water stops churning. Then I take the soap in the medicine cup, pour it in, and then continue spraying the water pretty much directly into the soap so that it foams up really nicely. By the time I'm washing the wheels and tires, always with a separate mitt, the suds are still there. So far I've had 2 bottles of the Meguiars Ultimate Wash & Wax and I'm already thinking of getting another even though my current bottle is only half used. It lasts quite a while.
No real complaints.  You won't get a great shine from jsut this wash.  A paste wax is recommended after washing.  I used Meguiars ultimate polish and gold class paste wax afterward and had my car looking great.
I wash my cars often so when I use a "regular" wash soap, I usually dry the car then apply a quik spray wax(wipe on wipe off)When I don't have much time, but want to wash my cars, I use Meguiars Wash & Wax.I'm not sure how much wax protection is actually left on the car versus regular waxing or the various quik spray waxes out there.I do know that using this soap does make drying of the car a tad quicker....other then that, I don't think it's better than the other Megs soaps avail.It creates nice suds, cleans good, has a nice scent to it as well.For me, this soap is kind of reduntant as i like to use a quik wax after washing.I bought 2 bottles and will not be buying more as I prefer a "regular" wash soap like Meguiars Gold Class or Meguiars Hyper wash.
I use this on my wifes Mercedes Benz CLK 350 and my Nissan Quest Van. I have been using Meguiars products for quite some time and have never been dissappointed by them
It suds up good, i used this in an attached sprayer bottle on my hose and it foamed up good spraying it out. Noticed after rinsing it immediately started beading water off which is a good sign. Only time will tell on how long it will last. As far as cleaning power it does fairly good, but i've seen better. Then again it is trying to do two jobs in one. The best cleaning of a car is in steps, but for an all in one cleaner and wax i think this outperforms most.
Price was attractive but very poor quality construction material. I have not use because I am afraid it collapsed under high presion.
For the money this is a nice block but not a heavy duty block I would say medium duty. I use the block to lift V6 & V8 engines on my hauling trailer and it does fine. Another thing I want to add for people looking at this block is the load limid which is 4000K to 8000K because when I was looking this was not listed and I was not sure if I wanted it or even if the block would have enough load limid for what I wanted to use it for. I must say it is a nice block for around $8 and heavy built plenty for my use of lifting engines around my yard and what ever else you want to use it for. The block weighs about 4 to 5 pounds more on the 4 pound range and can take up to 5/16 steel cable other than that the block has held up to everything I have thrown at it.
Simple to install, smooth running, and very heavily constructed, I used four of these on some small, hand cranked cranes. Only negative is that they must be exactly lined up or the cable will jump off and pop loudly back onto the sheave, which can become startling. BUT they do function just fine.
Just right size for packing in the Jeep and for use with synthetic cable winch. Haven't used it yet and hope I don't have to but nice to know I've got it just in case.
I bought this snatch block to go along with my atv's recovery gear. It handles the atv's weight with ease.
These are high quality lights, and installing them was a breeze.  The sit nicely in the corner of the tailgate and are easy enough to remove for cleaning or to get dirt and grime out.  The lights all function as I hoped and it truly was &#34;plug and play&#34;.  I haven't taken them through a real rainy season yet, but the extra brightness (read:SAFETY) is a must have especially since we lug our kids around all the time.I deducted a star because of the shipping waste/hassle.  I had to pick this up from my local post office because they could not fit the package in a regular truck.  The shipment packaging was exceedingly oversized given the length of the actual product's packaging.
When this arrived, it was in a long, tall box that, once opened, seemed to contain a roll of wrapping paper. &#34;What the heck is this?&#34; I wondered. Then I remembered that I ordered the Putco 90009-60 Tailgate Light Bar with Turn Signal Function from Amazon.This is long - very long -designed for a 60 inch tailgate. Frankly, it's too big to have any use for me, so I passed it on to a nephew who owns a truck for his business that keeps him on the road a lot. He installed it and had no complaints. This is very bright and serves its purpose exceptionally well. The price tag is understandable since this is a quality product, much better than most of what's out there.
This Putco 90009-60 LED Tailgate Light Bar with Turn Signal is easy to install if you have a tow package & a place to plug it in.  If you don't have a plug in and no automotive knowledge, the light bar may be a little more difficult to install.I installed the light bar using the enclosed 2-sided tape (did not want to drill holes into my tailgate). So far, after approximately 200 miles, the light bar is still securely fastened to the tailgate.The LED light is bright, and is bright enough so that you can see it in the daylight.  The turn signal function is nice and works well with no additional installation requirements.  With the plug in, the turn signal, brake lights & running lights work automatically,  I will have splice the reverse lights in, and I have yet to do that.Overall, I am happy with the light bar and believe that it really helps others see my truck (especially when fully loaded & the cab light is covered).
My husband loved this new tailgate light bar. He installed it on our sons red truck and it looks awesome. My husband said the key to secure installation is to wash area with soap and water and dry, then clean with plain rubbing alcohol. This prepares the area clean for the secure application of the sticky tape.It looks like it came on the truck. The light is really bright and and can easily be seen in daylight.Great for drawing attention to the back of the truck and hopefully will prevent another rear end collision.
This is a very good LED Light Bar that works very well. I installed it on my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500, just above my bumper so it isn't very visible in day light until it come on. The lights are bright even in the day, and very bright at night, adding more safety to my truck. My only complaint is with the instruction sheet, which indicates to install the light with the wires on the right side as in the picture. I installed it like indicated and plugged it into my trailer wiring plug. When I tested the lights the turn signal activated the wrong side, so I had to remove the light bar and reinstall it in the opposite direction. The good thing was I had installed it using the included brackets instead of the double sided tape. I highly recommend you plug it in to test it BEFORE you install it to your vehicle, especially if you plan to use the double sided tape. Other than the poor instruction sheet, this would have rated 5 stars. I also like the lifetime warranty on this item.
I'm not too fond of the mounting options -- either double sided tape or drilling screws through the body of my car.  Tape will just fall off after a car wash or two. And screws would cause the body to rust at the puncture points.  I'd prefer some sort of clip-on option. Aside from that, this works quite well. Setup is very easy, so long as you have the proper wiring. If not, it'll take a little more work, but still pretty easy. The LEDs are bright, but not blinding. Like how each side flashes with each respective turn signal.  A bit long for my purposes, but workable. But I'm tweaking my own mounting solution.  A little overpriced, but good overall.
I got this for my husband's truck, a '98 Ford F-150.  Because his truck didn't have a factory-wired 4-pin connector, we needed to buyHopkins 48205 48" Vehicle and 12" Trailer End 4-Wire Flat Set, before he could successfully install the light bar.If you use the 4-pin connector to hook up a trailer, the left and right turn signals will be reversed.  On a factory installed 4-pin connector, you should have the lead wire on the left side, instead of the right side (which is opposite the directions given by the manufacturer).Whether you have a factory-installed connector on your vehicle (or you have to buy a wire set, as we did), hook it up BEFORE you permanently attach it.  That way, if you have to flip the light bar, it won't be a big deal.The lights are bright, and they look cool attached to the rear of my husband's F-150.  We especially appreciate the back-up lights, as the truck's existing reverse lights are not very bright.  The lights on this bar are bright enough to make up for that.
Simple plug in hookup  for most modern vehicles with a trailer hitch set up.  Color coded instructions if you must wire directly.  Bright and  very cool looking on your vehicle.  Recommend doing a preview  test before permanent attaching, to make sure you have it turned the correct way etc.  Comes with double sided tape or brackets for permanent attachment, you will also need a drill for the bracket attachment method.  Works with Brakes, Running Lights, Reverse Lights & Signals.
Installed easily, looks great.  Product quality is rather high.  Instructions and the double sided tape that was provided were on the weak side though (-1 star).  I trusted the provided instructions but once the bar was on the truck I discovered the left and right functions were actually the reverse of what appears to be written.  It also appears they've done a good job with the silicone to seal up the hole(s) where the wires come through the body of the light bar.  Here's some tips and other info...1) forget the tape provided and get some3M Double sided tape.  You will want to verify the turn signal directions prior to mounting with this tape.  Pretty difficult to remove after using this tape.***UPDATE*** Forget tape at all and use the plastic mounts.  Yeah you have to drill but way more reliable.2) Use dielectric grease on the 4 pin connectors3) Some people frown onScotchlok tapsbut I like them.  It made tapping the reverse wire very easy.  Then some liquid electrical tape and it's all set.4) On my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel the reverse wire was the white with green stripe in the wire loom connecting to the 7 pin trailer plug.  This will of course vary by model.
I got this installed at my local workshop when I went for the inspection and liking it so far.When I compare the price on amazon for other products, this seems pretty expensive, but looking at the quality of the weather sealing, connectors and the brightness of the light - it does deserve the premium.
Bead buddy seems sturdy and well made.  It held the bead on my GS1200 front tire but it didn't come close to fitting on the back.  I purchased this preparing for my first foray into manual tire changing.  Although the item seems well made and it's definitely sturdy, I couldn't use it on my back tire and really didn't need it on my front.  I'm sure some will find it very useful, but I suspect many end up discovering that a couple of spoons and tire irons are sufficient.
Very good quality toolKeep your tire bead in place when you install bike tire (good helper)This tool should last forever, i saw professional use it tooNice to have one at home for your bike tire
It works.  It is well made.  You need this tool.  What else is there to say?If you are doing any tire replacement at all, you need one of these tools.  It is worth the price even if you change just one tire.  It keeps the bead down in the dish during install so that you can spoon on the bead on the opposite side.  You use it for exactly 1 minute, but it does exactly what you need it to do and it saves you a bunch of time from 'bead hell'.Another quality Motion Pro product.  Solid one-piece aluminum construction, anodized, should last a lifetime of regular use.  Note: this is for motocross/motorcycle spoked rims.
This product is the answer to changing small motorcycle tires.  I wish these had been around years ago when I was racing.
I installed my first dirtbike style tire the other day and used this bead buddy 2.  Using it is natural and effortless so you can focus on getting the rest of the bead mounted!
Works as designed. Kept the bead in place while working the tire around the rim. Locks in place on spokes perfectly.
garbage product, i spraied it well until the can became empty, i have stuck brake dust just after 3 days of driving, so the commercial is???????.
Keep those wheel clean after a wash. The film this spray provides helps with brake dust and grim. It makes a wheel cleaning last that much longer. And it makes cleaning the next time around that much easier too. Win win
This product is very easy to use make sure that you are not going to drive for at least a hour. The wheels look good and no more brake dust I don't apply after every cleaning. Just when I think it needs it.
Armor all wheel protectant is the best way to go to keep your wheels nice and clean for up to four weeks. I have had the wheel protectant applied to my wheels more than four weeks now and it still repels brake dust like the day that i have applied it. I rate this product 10/10. There are no cons, Only PROS!!
A neighbor recommended the Armor All Tire Protectant to me a year or so ago... he uses it religiously on his Corvette wheels. I picked up a can to try and was very impressed. I've used it many times since, and as I have gotten more skilled at applying it, I am even more impressed. It takes a little practice to become good at application, just like it does for spray painting, but once you master it you will spend very little time cleaning your wheels (or putting up with dirty wheels).I use it on BMW wheels. If you know anything about BMW brakes, you know that all you have to do is think about touching the brake pedal and your wheels are filthy! Very depressing after spending an hour cleaning them... but no more. Make sure the wheels are squeaky clean and dry - apply Armor All Wheel Protectant to them, using an even coating (nooks and crannies too) - and you will go more than a month without needing to clean them again. This is especially great if you live in an area where winter can be harsh, and grimey, and too cold to wash wheels.Here is another tip - use Armor All Wheel Protectant on the tips of your exhaust pipes - especially if they are chrome or satin. Be sure to coat the very end of them... and it will keep soot from building up on your exhaust!The product will slightly dull the wheels when you apply it, but very little. This is much more desirable to me than what they look like after just one driving...Can't recommend this enough - great stuff!!!
This product really does work very well at repelling brake dust. It will keep a wheel clean substantially longer. In fact, if you miss a spot, you will quickly see brake dust build up in that spot and not on the rest of the wheel.The downside? It only appears to work on silver alloy wheels. It basically leaves behind a white film which resists the brake dust. If you wipe off the white film, you lose the protection. I tried applying it to black wheels, and it looked terrible. I imagine on chrome wheels, polished wheels, or any other colored wheels, it will also look terrible. On stock silver wheels, however, you can't really tell. This is what this product is meant to protect. If you have stock silver painted alloy wheels, this product works great. If you don't, it will look terrible.
I own a BMW and the front wheel get caked with brake dust very quickly. I have tried various products including wheel wax and was not satisfied with the results. With Wheel Wax, it is a hassle to rub it on and wipe off. Also, it does nothing to repel dust except make it easier to clean. With this armor all wheel protectant, it saves me time and hassle. It is so easy to just spray it on and let it dried by itself. It doesn't cloud the finish of my silver painted wheel either. I did a test by just spray it on one of the wheels and drove the car for a month without washing. The other 3 wheels were caked with brake dust. The wheel with this protectant look a lot cleaner and was very easy to clean off. Highly recommended product!!I usually don't like Armor All product but this is an exception.
I like how simple this product is to apply, but noticed that on my machined, and partially painted wheels it dries visible, and requires a lot of elbow grease to rub out completely to a perfect finish. I don't like to have to overwork any product on my car - not just out of laziness, but the more aggressively you have to rub anything in, risks scratches. I didn't even finish using this product, I just threw what was left away.NB: once it was completely worked in, it does leave the wheels beading - so it works, but there are other products out there that finish &#34;right&#34; first time, without the extra labor required.
I have done both of my vehicles and very pleased with the results. The product states the coating will last 4-6 weeks and that is the only part I have not verified yet. I'm working on 3rd week and still very happy with the protection. I have washed once and it made cleaning the wheels almost not necessary. Just hitting the wheels with the water hose blasted almost all the dirt. I've driven in the rain once and the dirt and water just runs off. It's like the wheels now have a teflon coating. I will order more for my wheels are difficult to clean all the ins and outs.
A lot of people are saying that this unit blows the fuse on their car. Yes, it will do this unless you have the engine running if you are going to use the cigarette adapter. If you don't want to run your engine (say you are in an enclosed garage), then get a RoadPro cigarette adapter to battery terminal clamps and plug directly to the battery in the engine bay.With that said, this unit is quite powerful and inflates tires quickly and with ease. It also doesn't sound horribly loud and rough like most other air pumps that I've used. It's a bit on the expensive side, but I expect that it should last for a while, and not fall apart after a few uses like my previous Slime air pump.
I just bought this and tired it out for the first time with my Jeep Wrangler for airing up the tires after a trial ride. It works great and it's fast!I did take recommendations and I included the battery clip-on and cigarette lighter adapter. Awesome!Hopefully it will last a long time, as it seems well built and much better then the less expensive Black and Decker, large plastic compressor that gave out after a couple of years. I'll update this review should a failure occur, but so far five stars. One thing, the manufacturer should include a nice bag for storage as I'll keep it in my Jeep. (I bought a bag for it.)UPDATE in January, 2013: I love this compressor! I use it on four different vehicles and it still works great. I wish I had bought this a lot sooner.
My group of friends has a lot of outings, and they're usually ridiculous far away. For the winter last year, we made two 300 mile trip to reno, NV, and a 9 hour trip from north california to Las Vegas. And so many times, one of our cars has a noticeably deflated tire. And we would end up stopping at a gas station and wasting 2 bucks on..... air.... But with this Viair portable compressor, life is so easy. Really quiet for what it is, and surprisingly fast at what it does!!Tip:- Make sure to have your engine on. It can drain out your battery, and by keeping your car on, the battery is constantly recharging.Awesomely light, small, and kinda stylish....
The reviews said that this was the best of the air pumps.I ordered it and returned the pump without actually using it.My Black and Decker did not have as good of  reviews as this unit had,but I didn't like not having the option of a 120 volt plug.Since I was going to give it as a gift, I wanted to make it as easy to use as possible.The idea of not being able to plug it in to a garage outlet,since you can't run the vehicle in a garage, in the time to fill the tires.
High quality portable compressor for emergencies.  Sure wish that it had come with its own carry case.  As it is I just leave it in the box in back of the Jeep.  Something that everyone should have, and is much better than those cheap plastic compressors that I wouldn't trust for anything.  VIAIR makes high quality compressors and this is one of them.
I purchased this for my truck, however it keeps tripping my 15amp fuse. I had to replace the fuse 3x, even with following the instructions on the site to the dot, I could not get it working. I was able to power it up on my other car successfully, however the pressure gauge is off by 5lbs, I would need to pump up to 40lbs (built in gauge) for my tire gauge to show 35-36lbs.Other items that I wasn't happy with:1. The connector is hard to turn, at one point, it got stuck and it leaked out alot of air. (I am very familiar with threaded connectors as I use it on my bikes)2. No bag included.The Goods:1. Its fast, I went from 30lbs to 40lbs in around a minute.2. Smallish, but not as compact as the 70P.
This compressor is small, light weight and very quite. It draws too much current for me to use my lighter outlet without possibly blowing a fuse so I bought a battery clip-on to lighter adapter to run it and it works perfectly. The air gauge doesn't report accurately while running, but is close. When you turn off the compressor it reports pressure accurately. The compressor has a screw-on hose tip and I loose almost no air when disconnecting it.
I have enjoyed this item it was cheaper then the 43p  and puts out more volume . It doesn't go to as high of pressures though I believe 70 or 80 pounds is the top limit .  To  properly use it since few cars have 15 amp ports you need a longer cord and to connect direct to the car battery while it is running . So buy a road pro extension port with battery clips . Then your set as long as you don't need to air a trailer on the road . Just make sure the cord doesn't get near the fan , belts or manifold . This will inflate a 15 inch car tire in just over a minute and a half .  The cheapo models take much longer and often burn up trying  . You can plug a tire and inflate on the side of the road with this as long as you don't pop the bead when it goes flat  in 15 minutes and be on your way if you have a full kit , know what your doing and find the leak . I carry a bottle of windex that I can spray the tread with to find the leak after putting air in it with the pump  and keep one that's atleast half full so I can do it at all times in a map pocket in my car where it won't spill . I am disabled and its hard to impossible to change a flat so I have fixed them with a plug kit and been done with it every few years this way . I just buy a good plug kit with a reamer and pliers to clear the puncture hole  , and have windex and a yellow crayon to mark the it in my car emergency kit .
Using it in my f150 truck, with a long extension even reaching my trailer tires. I always ran my truck while using it, never had a problem. Great product. It's fast, doesn't complain about the size of the tires.
Very reliable air compressor.  I've used it a few times now, feels very solid and well built.  The light is a nice touch, the pressure gauge seems pretty accurate.  I wish this had a carrying case, otherwise it's great.  Much quieter than less expensive compressors that I've used in the past
You pay for what quality you getThis is one of the best names in compressors and deservedly so. Their products are long-life functional and reflect the SPECS in their Ads.
I read many many many reviews and chose this pump, I have used it many times for friend, customers, and my own work. the other day we had a flat on the bob cat! I was not sure it would be up to the task but it preformed very well, just don't touch the head of the pump area as it will be very hot after such a job. The &#34;loss of air&#34; statement someone made is nothing to be concerned with. It only goes up to 60lbs but that will get me out of a bind as I have the other compressor in the garage to finish any higher amounts.
This little compressor fills up car tires quickly,and bicycle super fast.I even used the little attachment to blow out dirt in my sunroof drain.That was not to impressive,but it did work after I stuck a wire down the hole.
Pros:Good solid, quality construction, heavy weightSmall footprintSmall screw-on nozzle, loses very little air during screw-on/offPart aluminum constructionComes with the usual attachments for rafts, football, etcAir hose is protected by a braided fabric-like material.Comes with nice a built-on gaugeCan use the box as a carry case (with plastic handle)Price is not bad.Fairly quietDoes vibrate and move across the floorHigh volume air output - (beware small inflatables)Cons:Does not include a canvas carry case like other versions.Should have come with alligator clips instead of cigarette plug (14.5 amp draw)Pressure gauge is off by about 10 PSI (even at rest) - very bad !!!
I purchased one of these 12 volt compressors a few months ago to carry in my Mini Cooper.  It came with run flat tires that rode rough on noisy. The Mini has no spare. I replaced the run flats and purchased this compressor and a tire plug system. The capacity of this compressor is much higher than the little compressors you buy at stores like Wal-Mart.I recently purchased a second compressor to carry in my ATV trailer tool box.  If you purchase this compressor you will be amazed by the high capacity.
I have had this for about 2 months and no problems so far except I don't like the compressor heating up . Just becareful after using for more than 4 minutes as the compressor gets hot and may cause burn. This is why I give this 4 stars but overall it is very good.
Solid made pump, works very fast. Pump gets hot if run very long. Less than 2 minutes to inflate auto tire. well made. I will buy another, quiet for power.
Airs up much faster than most other portable units. I mainly use this unit for Jeeping, but has come in handy with our bikes, inflatable toys and balls (woah it's quick on these!). Airing up four big offroad tires from 15 to 35 takes about 20 mins, or about 5 mins ea.- 1 star for not including a case (we just use the box) and be careful of touching the metal heat sink after a few minutes of runtime.I've never blown a fuse but have switched to the direct terminal connectors just in case. Also recommend the ARB EZ Deflator for airing down.
i had the Viair 70pm for my wife's Subaru that has 17&#34; tires. When i got an Audi S4 and put 19&#34; wheels on it, i figured i needed a more powerfully rated compressor, so i got the 85p.  Seeing some of the reviews warn of blowing fuses, i got a pair of those $5 alligator clips to connect the compressor to the battery terminals just in case i needed to.Well, i haven't needed them, this sucker works great via my cigarette lighter without blowing a fuse.  I've pumped my 255/35/19 tires a couple times (once from 30 to 40 psi, the other times just topping off a few PSI) and the 85p has worked well.  It'd be great if it had a little carry case like the 70p does, but no big deal. i keep this along with my jack and other little items in a tray in the trunk.
I was very pleased with the specs for this unit; however the need for a 15A 12V outlet could have been more visible, and why I rated it at three stars.  I cannot use this item, and am returning it.  Instead, the B&D; unit rated number 1 on Amazon was purchased.I liked the LED light feature, the quick inflation times reported, the rubber foot pads, great heatsink, and screw-on nozzle (as opposed to the quick-connect that is common on most units).  I'm sure it would have been a great product, could I have used it.  15A rating?  A sedan or minivan would need some fuses replaced if you tried.
I've used moderately expensive Black and Decker and Sears air compressors in the past.... this one is top flight and way better than those...- substantial construction- rubber feet contain vibration and noise well... also it doesn't walk at all while running- chrome compressor finish is nice- gauge is very accurate, obviously you turn the unit off to measure... it has about a 4lb drop from on to off.- performance is very good.... I inflated a 245-45-17 car tire on the car from 20 to 35 lbs in about 50 seconds... very good performance for a cig lighter pump.... very good for any compressor for that matter- sound is very reasonable... a fraction of cheap compressors.... sounds about like a loud 60hz hum you would hear from a bad lighting fixture.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz- has handy clips for all the adapters and a bundle strap for the cord- has a very high quality brass screw on chuck that loses very very little air when removedhighly recommended
Works great. Has plenty of power to fill my tires and recreational products that I don't fill on the boat.  This unit does get hot but we have not had any fuse blowing issues.  I've run it with the car on and off and have not had an issue.
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500.  My tire pressures are usually between 50-60 psi so I am right at the top of this product's operating range.  It filled a tire from 40 psi to 55 psi in a very reasonable time.  It's the last 5 PSI that really give this pump a run for its money.  The time from 55 to 60 PSI was quite a wait (&lt;5 minutes).  I believe there is something in the mechanics of this pump that prevent it from going over 60 psi as I have had another one these, very similar, if not identical viair pumps and it would do 90 psi on my 6 gallon tank no problemo.This pump is much quieter than I expected and I'm willing to bet that it'll have a passenger car tire up to 30 psi in no time.Also if you have a larger truck the extension cord is HIGHLY NECESSARY.  The 10' reach just isn't long enough for a quad cab and 8' bed.  This is what I used and I'm quite please with it.RoadPro RP-203EC 12V 12' Extension Cord with Cigarette Lighter Plug
The Viar brand is a trusted brand. Viar is a big manufacture of air compressors for aftermarket air suspension systems. The 4 x 4 beach in my area requires each vehicle to have an on board air compressor. It's generally kept in the tool bag as a backup. When the line is long at the beach air pumps I'll use this pump instead of waiting. The pump is great. The build quality is good. Be careful not to touch the heat sink after using for a few minutes. Another thing to watch out for is if you are plugging it into a fused cig lighter port or a direct to battery port. If it's a low amperage fuse port then you may blow the fuse. Highly recommended.
This case is a good, protective item for your Battery Tender.  I wish it was easier to pick the case that actually fits the particular Tender, but the measurements are accurate.  Holds the tender and all the cords.
I bought this bag because I wanted to keep my tender and everything together. When I received this bag I was taken away by how big it was. It was bigger than I thought it would be. I can fit my tender, 25 foot extension cable and all the accessories that normally come with the tender. The bag has a mesh feel but sturdy enough to keep everything together. On the top lid in the inside, it has pockets to keep things in. Great product and plenty of room.
This is a nice pouch for keeping all of my battery charger connections, cables, and the charge together.  I have the battery tender junior, a set of gator clips, the 25' extension, and a cigarette lighter type charger in this and it fits good.
I like the Battery Tender Carrying Pouch.It's large, protects the Battery Tender from scratches, keeps dust out and can hold accessories so you don't loose them.
Bought both the Battery Tender Charger and this case for my ATV. Quality made (both of them). Very happy with them.
This may be a little over-kill for some, but personally I like the extra room.Five of the Battery Tender small bags will fit inside this one.Note that none of the measurements stated in the product descriptionfor this large bag are correct, as of Oct 10, 2012.Actual measurements of bag ~ 7" x  9" wide, and 6 1/2" tall, and has two carrying straps.(For comparison the battery in my car is 6 1/2" x 10" and 6 3/4 " tall)I suggest this Battery Tender Carrying Pouch - Large 500Large-0140.This case will hold all that comes with the Battery Tender Plus ~also the Battery Tender 25 ft extension cable ~AND have an inside empty space of approximately 4" x 5" x 9" for other stuff ~an electric ex cord ~ flashlight etc.I had first ordered the Battery Tender 500-0017 utility bag pouch.The UPC tag marks the size as 'Small". It measures 6" x 7 1/4" x 2".The Battery Tender Plus and the cables that come with it will fit inside the small size,but only a certain way with ease, and only before the cables are used.After using the cables it's much harder to get those things back in the bag.And it certainly wouldn't hold anything else.When I order a Battery Tender 25 ft. extension cable,knowing the small wasn't adequate, I order this large size bag.I'm very pleased with it's quality and the extra amount it will hold,
Sturdy construction, plenty of storage room, and it appears to have good durability overall.  I wish they would have made some side inserts to give it the ability to be a little more rigid.  That would make it easier to pack.  Otherwise, a great way to carry my Jr. tender, a 25 foot extension, and other various parts to keep my baby running.  Would buy again, and would recommend to friends.
Great little carrier when you order the multiple packages of Battery Tenders.  Provides good protection from spiders etc while sitting out in the garage!
Well made little pouch that keeps your tender safe from moisture & dust and allows you to organize it and connectors in one place that you can find when next you need to use the tender.
a great accessory to keep all your other chargers, connectors, a volt-ohm-meter and other stuff in for when you need it and it's labeld so it stands out from all the other little black bags and such in your workshop/garage or wherever you keep it.
I looked at different similar products and decided to pay extra to buy this because I wanted something that would last. Unfortunately this did not.I used it when I first got it and it worked fine. I liked the fact the hose clips on to the inflation valve and the gauge seems accurate.I stored it on my compressor over the winter and went to use it yesterday but couldn't. The pressure release button on the side had somehow fallen out of the body, leaving a gaping hole that lets all the compressed air escape. There does not seem to be any way to repair or replace that part so now the whole thing is useless and a total waste of money.
Works great for both inflating and deflating.  Makes it easy to ensure all tires are at the same pressure with out needing additional pressure guage.
This is a great inflator.  It was more expensive than most out there but the quality is awsome.  ARB is a very reputable company and will recommend this to everyone.
Amazon sent me a previously-returned ARB inflator and, not surprisingly, its hose leaked.  It was leaking from where the silver hose connected to the silver body.  I returned the ARB and bought a Milton Dual Chuck Tire Inflator With Gauge which uses higher-quality materials and higher-quality construction, though the ARB has a few advantages in design.The ARB has a gauge that's easier to read than Milton's.  The only problem is that the chuck on the ARB's air hose doesn't rotate like on the Milton, so you may need to clip the ARB's hose onto the air connector at an angle that makes the ARB's gauge hard to read.The Milton's chuck is open on both sides of the tilted silver end which I've read means you can push the Milton's hose into a tight space and pull the chuck back onto an air connection.  Apparently this is necessary on certain vehicles and equipment.  If you don't need that feature, then the ARB's clip-on connector is probably more convenient.  The clip itself feels a little weak and might break over time, though if it did you could hold it against the air connector.The ARB comes with a type D quick disconnect already screwed in but on the Milton you have to supply your own sealing tape and screw in your own quick disconnect.The ARB has a button you can use to release pressure from what you're inflating but the Milton has no such feature.  I don't think it's at all difficult to release some pressure on the chuck and just let air escape from the tire and that's probably easier than using a pressure-release button anyway.  Plus having a button creates another point that can fail during manufacture or after you've owned the tool for awhile.
Just what I expected after looking for the best options air gauge options for car, bike and accessory inflating needs.  Gauge measures well and clamp holds valve stem securely.
As others have noted, this is good design but it leaked from very cheap o-ring where the shielded hose meets the blue body that was already disintegrating.  I replaced that with a new o-ring.  There was also leaking from the poorly applied teflon on the end that connects to your air hose.  The rubber guard that goes around the guage is extremely cheap material and fits poorly.  It's unfortunate that this nicely designed item is so cheaply finished and poorly assembled.  With the replacement part and re-wrapping of the teflon, it works better now.  Someone ought to send a QC team into that factory to straighten things out.
I'm very happy with this inflator. It attaches to the valve stem with no leaks and allows fast inflation. The bleed valve allows me to bleed off 5 pounds of air before I set my tires.
This is a great product. It would be 5 stars except the pressure release pin is a weak link. Otherwise very sturdy and looks great. Very accurate and looks great. I keep this gauge in my Jeep to air down and to fill tires. Works great with any compressor.
This should take a lot of abuse getting banged around in my recovery tool box on offroad adventures.  Makes filling tires back to street presure a snap.  easy to read.
Nicely built, love the steel-braided hose and rubber shock mounting of the gauge. This makes tire air check and inflation to proper pressure a simple one-step process. Quite a time saver.
Finally got to use it on my and grandkids cars.  What a great tool, nice design, light and clamps easily on valve stems with no leaking.  Threw away my old useless pop-up stem indicator inflator.  This is the tool for my home garage...
Pros - Accurate, air line, bleed valve, gauge size, valve lock, large fill lever, swivel hose, air hose fittingCons - Psi and Kpa marksDead on accurate.  I tested this against my 2 other pressure gauges and they all were dead on, or they were all off the exact same amount.  LOLOLThe valve lock is great and makes filling anything so much more comfortable than trying to press on a traditional air chuck and hear the hissing when you do not get it just right and end up dumping more air than you put in.The steel braided fill hose that swivels makes it so nice just turn the hose and the pressure gauge is always towards you.The large fill lever is easily operated with just one finger.The bleeder is excellent for dumping over filled air in small amounts instead of pushing the valve stem and then having to go back and forth with pressure gauge and something to bleed the air thru the valve stem and back again.Pressure gauge size makes for easy reading of pressure, and being clipped onto the valve stem, and the one handed design is exceptional.With the air hose fitting already installed you just plug it into your air line and start pumping.  No running to the store to buy a fitting.The PSI and Kpa marks, to me are backwards, should be PSI on the outside of the gauge and KPA inside, but no biggie.PSI is not well marked but easy enough to read.  It is marked in 2 PSI increments instead of one.Over all this is a great Gauge that cut my monthly, tire pressure inspection on my vehicles in half.
I just purchased this and only time will tell how long it will last, but I am impressed so far.  It seems to have quality construction.  And it comes with the lock-on air chuck, which I use on all of my tire filling equipment.
After reading the high reviews I was expecting a good inflator.Sadly it is not very good at all. The needle jumps and will often stick at the 60 psi mark. I have to tap the gauge to get it to move. The crimp is not that good and it will leak air when the hose is flexed.I may have been unlucky, or it may be a sign of quality control.I didn't need to use it for several weeks after I bought it, by which time is was too late to return.very disappointed with this.
very nice inflator.  got a chance a few weeks ago to compare it to my friends calibrated one and this thing was dead on.  and much cheaper than the $80 something he paid.  wish the scale was a little more precise, but for that the cost will go up.  perfectly happy with this one.
I've always had success with this and the other 7&#34; 2.0 buff pads from Meguiar's.This pad when paired with the proper Polish does wondersI would recommend this with Meguiar's DA also.
Bought the buffer for Christmas! Couldn't wait to use it!  Been using Meguiar's products for years! Keeps all my cars looking like new!
Got the Meguiar's Professional Dual Action Polisher and a bunch of the different 7" pads. Unfortunately, they would NOT stick to the backing plate that came with the DA over 3,000 rpm like they are supposed to for the cutting compound to be used. Meguiar's sent me the 6" backing plate for the DA and they stuck to that like glue. I put all these pads I used right in the washing machine and they came out like new. I did purchase a Meguiar's Cut N' Shine 8" Wool Buffing Pad to use on my old rotary "grinder" in case I have to do deep scratches again. (All this was for a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor that I got from the auction and had to buff out.) Also, if you're using Meguiar's 205 and wet sand with 1,200 to 1,500 or greater paper, like they say to do, it will be MUCH easier to get the scratches out. I used some 3,000 and sanded in a straight line (not swirls) and I did get a nice smooth finish. Just remember to tape off the hard corners and where the body parts meet so you don't grind the paint off! And, yes, I am talking from experience!!! I used this pad with Meguiar's 105 finishing polish.
In level 3 or 4 on the meguiars buffer, I can only use this for 4 cars before it just starts peeling.Not very durable in my opinion, maybe I am just putting too much pressure.Expensive also, but never the less, it does the work.
These are fantastic. For this 7&#34; pad, you need a 5.5 inch Velcro backer or a trimmed 6inch. I found out the hard way.
I'm a professional detailer. I own almost every pad brand, 3M Perfect-It, Lake Country, Meguiar's, Griots garage. I use these pads with the Meguiar's backing pad that comes with their DA polisher with no problems and great results. This pad is great for removing Meguiar's Synthetic Sealant 2.0 and for applying Meguiar's Ultra Finishing Polish. I wouldn't use these pads with other backing plates(Astro Pneumatic type which I own) because the back of the pad will cup over time, loosing grip. Even my Lake Country pads cupped after using my Astro Pneumatic backing pad. I've washed these pads by hand, in the wash and I've spun them on my Meguiar's polisher and never had a problem with the Velcro separating. Stick with the Meguiar's backing pad with any Soft Buff 2.0 pad and you'll be happy.
This products does what is says it will. I use this for my DA Meguiars polisher. Best use for polish and getting reed of those sworl marks, pre-wax buff.
This polishing pad works as expected.  It is easy to mount on the polisher and easy to apply wax to the pad and to the boat.  Would be again.
It has been my experience that these pads work well and are machine washable just like they claim.
Bought this to go along with theDEWALT DWP849X 7-Inch/9-Inch Variable Speed Polisher with Soft Start. Fits perfectly with the hook and loop backing. Great to learn buffing with. I do prefer the hex-logic pads because they seem to produce less splatter. I went with Meguiar's pad because most their products are high quality with a good reputation. Used with m205 as a polishing product.
Looks and feels very much like Meguiar's W 9207 7&#34; Soft Buff 2.0 Foam Finishing Pad which I also reviewed. Feels very soft and durable. I really like the hook and loop attachment system on these pads. Just to be safe, I used this pad with  Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, as recommended. It's much quicker than doing it by hand and I think you get more consistent results.
I used this with Meguiars Cleaner wax(A12) on several cars (2008 Infiniti G37, 2008 Mazda 5) the owners were surprised to see a mirrior-like finish.It also removed minor swirls or defects with little effort. Anything the cleaner wax could not remove, a little Meguiars Ultimate Compound was sucessful.This is pretty good quality pad, I hardly noticed any wear on the pads after a few complete details of 3 cars. Pretty good prices here on Amazon too.
It's a very mild polishing pad that makes polish application easy, and since it's wider than the DA buffer  you dont have to worry about the edges marring your car :)
These pads are now washable and have a recess to enable easy centering of the Velcro pad.  I would avoid the 6.5&#34; pads like the plague - not washable and no recess.
They work well. But way over priced, for what they are. It's all profit! Butthey work, an I can't find one for less.  SW
Does everything you need it to do, I wish the tube part was a little bigger, but it does come with a screen so that's nice.  Good price, nice funnel.
Only gave 4 stars because the mesh screen makes the oil go through very slowly. I am sure this wouldn't be a problem with gas. I have not yet looked at the funnel closely. Perhaps I can take the mesh apart.
My toy hauler has a fuel tank for refueling ATVs and the fill neck is almost straight in making it very difficult to add fuel additive. With the ethanol being added to our gasoline these days, fuel stabilizer is a must for any fuel that is going to be stored for even a short period of time. This funnel is perfect as it bends easily to fit the filler spout and the flex portion is removable if you don't need it.
This is a wonderful and essentially little product that seems like its going to last forever. The spout bends easily but holds what ever shape you bend it into. Just the thing for the virtually horizontal,filler on my generator
I find that I use this a lot more than I thought I would in my shop.  I'm considering buying another so I have one for water soluble stuff and the other for petroleum-based fluids.  Overall, very handy!
The flex part and the funnel are separate pieces.  The flex part screws on to the funnel.  Very good.The plastic is not heavy duty.  The funnel may crack if stepped on.  The flex part will not stay in position by itself.  The funnel opening is about 6 inches diameter.
This is a pretty decent little tire gauge. For the price, it's a great little tire gauge.The Good:- I think mine is pretty accurate. I've compared it to 3 other gauges and it's within 2 PSI of them. It's also pretty consistent with readings, which is a good thing.- There is only one button, which makes it easy to use with gloves on. This is very nice in the wintertime!- The little light throws just enough illumination to find the valve stem in the dark, which is nice.- It can measure in PSI, KPa, Bar, and Kgf/cm2. Which must be nice if you're .... Swedish?The Bad:- It's not the easiest to seal onto the valve stem to get a good reading. You sort of have to press and wiggle.- Batteries are difficult or impossible to replace. There is no little battery door - you'll have to take the thing apart to see about new batteries.- My clumsy hands frequently bump the button. This changes the unit of measurement to KPa, which I don't know how to read.I like this thing, and I'm sure it'll give me years of usage, as long as I can figure out how to take the thing apart and change the batteries. It would be a five star product if changing the batteries was easier.
I'm crazy about the MPG, so I love to use this and make sure my tires are at their optimal PSI for &#62;55mpg at all times.  It's a simple device, but it works great!
I don't check my tire pressure often and so I don't know how this may hold up over time but it seems to be pretty accurate and convenient. Great price and nice looking.
The tire gauge works really well. The readings are consistent. It's come in really handy especially now during the winter.
Broke quickly after first usage and when it did work for a little while the readings were off compared to two other guages I own- a Slime and a craftsman digital so it was definitely defective then it just quit reading after a month of VERY light usage. Unhappy is an understatement and hopefully these folks read these reviews and re-design this product. Quite unhappy.
This is he first tire gauge that I've owned that doesn't allow air to leak out of my tires while checking the pressure.  Surprisingly, all of the other ones that I've purchased were more expensive than this one, yet they all give inaccurate readings. In addition, the prior ones end up leaking out more air than I put in. I use my own air compressor, which is only capable of slowly adding air to tires. When I use my old tire gauges they let out more air than I can add back in. It's a pleasure to finally find such a simple gauge that actually works.
Yes it does the job, nice size, easily latches on, but what i find truly annoying is how long it takes to reset back to zero!!  It takes like 10 seconds!  Is that a long time, in the grand scheme of things no.  But once you get that initial figure, lets say 33.5, and ur goal is 32 psi.  It can take awhile to get down to that 32.  I bought this for my father in law....I have a craftsman tire gauge that zeroes almost instantly and it has a bleeder valve, that lets the air out, and can see the psi!  love it!!  Guess I was spoiled, as this Tekton gauge annoys me.  Luckily I don't have to use it often.  Don't get me wrong, it isn't junk, but just do not like it.
These work okay for the price. They don't compare to my craftsman ones that I use for personal use, but they work just fine for work since I could care less if they break or if someone borrows them. Did sorta break one where I have to take the battery out from time to time to reset it, other than that, works as advertised.
This gauge works easily and quite well. It remembers the pressure until you turn it off. Very enjoyable irreverent Opera book.
The tire gauge works great and is very fast.  It shows your pressure in 4 different measurements in case you're super nerdy like that.  It has an illuminated LED front, so you can find the valve stem at night with ease.  The back-light LCD is easy to read.  I had zero issue with air leaks and no difficulty seating it firmly on the valve stem to get a reading without wasting a bunch of air.  Measures in half PSI increments and displays the previous reading for 30 seconds before the tool auto-offs.It seems very accurate and is super easy to use.  Has an internal battery from the factory, so is ready to work out of the box.
This works well. It is simple one button use and the light is bright enough to check tires in low light areas.
Accurate, easy to use, and well-lit tire gauge.  It has a non-slip surface and comes with batteries.  I like the look and feel of this quality item.  Highly recommend.
I like it!  Seems to work fine and numbers are consistent.  I like that it displays different measurements of pressure (psi, bar, etc).  I live in Europe so all the gas stations don't measure in PSI.  This device has all the different measurements at the press of a button.  Light is useful to in low visibility!  Its also the coolest looking air pressure gauge I've ever owned!
I'm one of those that check tire pressure once a week so having a good tire gauge is imperative.  For the past year I have used several different digital and mechanical gauges.  I had issues with all of them.  Few of the mechanical one's did not work well in extreme cold weather, also hard to use with gloves on and too cold to use with bare hands.  Few others had issues with sealing the valve so it would not read accurately.  Some of the other digital brands did not seal the valve, or the battery would die quickly (like every week), or it was reading inaccurately.  I've been researching for the past few weeks on Amazon and this was the only one with great praise so i decided to try it out.  As soon as i got it i ran out and compared it to a mechanical one which I have been using with frustration and also a friend of mines gauge (Commercial grade digital gauge) and low and behold this one read accurately to 35 lbs, w/o issues and the mechanical one I had took me about a minute to get a correct seal to get a reading and then it read 3lbs too high, 5 lbs too low, etc. Compared to the commercial grade gauge.  This gauge is simple to read, easy to get a seal w/o much pressure to the valve and comfortable to hold glove or not.  So clean out your gauge drawer like i did and replace it with this one.
This is a must have tool to have. I would recommend having this tool in your car at all times.
I was looking for digital gauges for some time. There are definitely many choices and price points. This is an economy priced gauge that works perfectly for me. While a pencil type gauge is simple and reliable, it is difficult to see and not as convenient, especially in poor lighting conditions.Updated 3/25/14After using it for some time I can only confirm that this gauge is perfect for its intended purpose. No reason to look for a more expensive alternative
It is very light and feels cheap. I wish there was a way to turn the light off to save battery life, and I wish it took a standard battery instead of button cells. Having a little more weight to it would make it feel more durable. Not sure yet how long the batteries will last. I hope a while, because you have to use a screwdriver and take it apart to change them. Not bad for the price, though.
This tire gauge seems to be very accurate and is nice to use when you don't have light and you need to check your tire pressure.  I love the feel of it how to can switch what measurement type to what you need.  I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
This is my first digital tire gauge. So far so good the light on the head of the nozzle is very useful when it is dark and you need to get a reading.  The non-slip makes it real easy to hold and it is an awesome price!
I use this gauge on our three cars every two weeks. It is east to use and sure beats the old pencil type gauge. The gauge is smalland can fit almost anywhere in your car and it is very precise!
I use this gauge for checking pressure in my car's tires to insure the pressure is balanced. The gauge is easy to use. The reason for four stars is that the accuracy is only 0.5 psi due to the decimal digit only displaying the number 0 or 5. I could estimate the pressure more accurately on my analog tire gauge that had a pointer like the second hand on a clock. But after many years of use the analog gauge broke and I decided to try a digital gauge. For ease of use I prefer this digital gauge with the light. For accuracy I prefer the analog gauge.
I purchased this digital gauge because the new tires on my Jeep are 80 PSI, and my old mechanical gauge only went up to 50. I am very pleased with this unit. It's fast and accurate. The fact that it displays tenths of a pound is actually more useful than I initially thought it would be.~Rusty Spoons
The only thing I do not like is it is easy to turn on when something else skims across the button while i storage, such as in a glove box.  I think the on/off button needs some kind of recess or covering so one must intentionally press the button to turn it on.  At least it turns itself off also after a short period of time.Its accuracy compares well to my high quality, air pressure measuring devices in the 35 - 45 PSI pound range.
Easy to use. The light makes it much easier to read than other digital gauges.  The pressure readings agree exactly with my other digital gauge.  I bought a second one for my Wife.
This inexpensive air gauge is the best one I have used. I get a consistently tight seal and quick/accurate reading.
I have been buying small items to put on a key chain set up.  This has a hole in the handle so it looked like it might work but it is about 5 inches long and much bigger than reasonable for a key chain tire gauge. However it is a great tire gauge.  The features I like best are that both the display is backlit and there is a blue led light that is not particularly bright but bright enough to do it's job that shines on the tire valve so it is easy to use at night time.  It is also digital of course and takes readings not just in PSI but also BAR, KPA, Kg/cm so that adds some versatility to the unit as well.  It also can read up to 100 PSI which will cover a wide range of vehicles beyond just passenger car tires should you need that. It is very lightweight being made of plastic but appears like it will be pretty sturdy. I think it is a good value, a reasonable price for what you get and will keep it in my main cars glove box. I might get more after I have had it longer.  Tire pressure gauges at gas stations can be very inaccurate if working at all so having this with you will cover you tire pressure readings day and night, would be good for a motorcycle too.  So far no complaints at all.
I've compared the Tekton's readings to a standard gauge and they were the same. The light has been nice to have when checking tires without having the best ambient light.
Works as intended displays accurately and is backlit
Simple to operate. Easy to read display. Seems to be reasonably accurate. Easy to hold and operate. Overall, a really nice pressure gage.
I bought this product to use on my dashboard, center console and exterior trim. I had completely neglected these areas, except for minor cleaning and protection. Once I applied it, the difference was night and day! Literally, the product brought out a shine I had not seen on my dash at all, not even when I drove my car home off the lot. There is a spray, but I tried to liquid and it went on smoothly with no greasy feel. I applied using a generic microfiber applicator and rubbed it into the surface. Within a second I can see it covering up wear and producing a shine, which you would see with any protectant you use. It has now been a month and the shine is still there and still as bring and clean as the day I applied. I've tried Armor All, Turtle Wax, Mothers, but this is by far the best and I don't see me trying a different product anytime in the future.
After reading some poor reviews I think that it may just be the type of dash that you have. It worked very well for my dashboard in my Lexus. It is not a smooth surfaced dashboard, but somewhat of a matted finish. It shined up real well. My only beef with the product is that I do not like the top. It is the same as the black product and it has the same problem. When you squeeze some out it makes a big mess. You have to be careful or it will be messy. It is hard to describe but you will find out when you use it.
Greesy, messy, doesn't spread evenly and attracts dirt. Using it to shine my tires until its gone because its worthless for anything else.
Does Darken Black Plastic but it does not last like the Meguiar's Trim Spray they used to have. If you use this, use some F-21 protectant spay on the surface first (made by Turtle Wax Company). The shine and darkening of black plastic will be a lot better and last's a lot longer.
This product makes all the black exterior trim on my cars looks brand new again, currently it is protecting my new Impreza's black trim, refreshed my 2005 G35's trim and made my 2003 MPVs trim go from old and dull to a rich dark black again.You do not need a lot product to cover unpainted plastic bumpers or unpainted sideskirts. Trick is to use a foam applicator pad, not a microfiber or cotton pad as they absorb too much of the product, therefore you need to use more.
works great for jacks so u don't starch or slide off the frame or where ever u put it plus it matches all my prothane parts on my truck
This item works well. My only complaint is the price. It's just a peice of plastic. And the black is more expensive than a the red...???
my old urethane disc finally wore out after over 10 yrs of service.it fit perfect, been using it awhile now lifting truck to do work/protects under body parts from direct metal to metal contact.
If your jack didn't come with a jack pad this is the one to buy. The pad keeps metal off metal and if you are like be that's important.
This pad was obtained to replace a 2x4 block of wood which had been used on the saddle of my floor jack to protect the chassis parts where contact was made.  Because the saddle is quite large, in excess of six inches diameter, I had hoped this would fit the cast-in recess with a six inch diameter.  Being 5 inches diameter, it does fit, but another  inch would make it perfect !
They are actually a 4.5 and I use them on my jack stands but they fall off until I have the weight of the car touching them. Other than that these things do not cut, tear, and or smash and loose their shape.
The tool is very sturdy and more than adequate to remove original pre-cat sensors after 10+ years, circa 100k miles. Has a quality feel that belies its low cost.On these cars, a spanner wrench _almost_ works, but is extremely awkward. Using this tool makes the job simple.Do use a quality penetrating oil first, on a cold exhaust system, and let it sit a while first. But you knew that.PS: on super tough O2 sensors that won't come out, many mechanics suggest cutting the sensor's cable and using a box wrench or six point socket, which in theory will be stronger and give maximum torque. With this tool I cannot imagine that coming into play very often.
I bought this because my o2 sensor in my car was extremely deep and others did not work. This removed the old one perfectly and tightened the new one right up. This got into the tight spot where the sensor was at and made it very easy to work with! It seems to be made with high quality material for the price.
This tool worked like a charm. Not much more to say really... It did its job. Seems fairly well made.
I used this to remove/install AC Delco O2 sensors AFS109 and AFS123 on a 97 Pontiac Bonneville and it worked like a charm. It did not the strip the sensors and it had a solid grip onto them. It made the job so much faster than trying to use a wrench. To replace both sensors it took me 30 for removal/installation of both together. I think this is a better design then a socket because depending on your type sensor, the sensor maybe to long to fit into a socket type puller and you may damage the wires. This offset works great because it alleviates that problem. I would recommend this product
I bought this with a straight oxygen sensor puller and I thank Amazon for suggesting it.  I would have never been able to take one of my sensors off if this was not available.  A bargain price for a much needed quality tool.
Works great!  Very solid and easily removed two oxy sensors that were in a hard location to reach.  You can really put some torque on this and it handles it no problem.  Great tool.
A faulty O2 sensor was keeping my check-engine-light on and hurting my gas-mileage. However, it was very seized, and I was only able to change it because if this tool and an appropriate breaker bar.
This oxygen sensor remover worked great but only the break the sensor loose.  The socket verion is better for many reasons including the use of air tools and ease of use. I would recomend a long sensor socket before buying this model
Used for all 4 sensors on 03 diamante.  3 were good but I figured after replacing the first one, I'd crack and re-tighten the others just to prevent them from being frozen when they go bad.  It worked so well I did it on my other cars as well.  The only issue is retorquing to the 30lbs.  With the offset you have to recalculate the torque wrench as a percent of the total length of the torque wrench with this device to the calibrated length of the wrench without the device.  I found it was pretty easy to loosen the sensor when the engine was hot.  I also found that it was easier if the ratchet handle and the tool flange were aligned and the ratchet handle didn't cross over the tool.  Anyhow this works OK.
Works like a charm, just as expected.  First time using a tool like this, and very valuable to have in your toolbox.  Buy buy buy.
Does what it needs to Do! fits into those tight places on my Ridgeline. This is more versatile and easier to use than my Socket style o2 sensor tool.
While Oxygen sensors have improved gas mileage, hesitation, smog, etc, it is also true that the engineers in their great wisdom and made sure they are placed in the hardest-to-get-to locations. This tool is extremely well made and it will help you get to many of those locations.
This offset sensor socket works very well for what it's made for; installing an oxygen sensor. To remove my old one, I cut the wire off (the sensor was dead so it felt no pain), slipped on an impact socket, and a half-second later my trusty air impact wrench had it out. No sweat whatsoever! A minute later, this offset socket had tightened the new one into position.
The right tool makes a job simpler. I'd guess there are workarounds to using a specialized tool, but I'm glad I got this. It has a cutout to slide over the wires so I didn't have to cut the wires on the old part. It was deep enough to fit snugly on the recessed O2 sensor on a 2003 Honda CRV. It had no give and wasn't flimsy. It made the job easy.
Very well made and works like expected you can not go wrong with this tool if you are handy specially in tight areas
Item came nicely packaged, item is built rugged, with a great fit,wont make you nervous applying good torque to it. very handy tool to have being that most cars now a day have atleast 2 or 4 oxygen sensors.
A could not imagine that factory manufactured item can be so much off. Sizing of the socket too loose even for 7/8" and completely unaceptable for 22 mm.As mentioned in other reviews oversized sockets will round the nut surface since the full force will be applied to a very small area of the edges.
Using this tool will make the job go so much easier.  Makes the hard part unplugging your sensor and feeding the new one correctly to reconnect it.
Ive used this tool several times with no issues. It holds very firmly and feels very solid. So far, so good!
Just the right tool for hard to reach sensors, you may have to try with and without extensions to achieve working room but this does give the extra leverage for harder to remove sensors. Always start removal after car has reached operating temp and begins to cool for easier removal.
Having to change O2 sensors can be a real pain where the manufactures mount them nowadays, this makes a tedious job usually pretty easy, nice heavy duty construction
I needed this tool to remove my Oxygen sensors on my BMW. Could not have done it without this tool. So easy to use!!!
This tool works fine if your a/f or o2 sensor isn't recessed into something.  On my 2012 Accord the a/f sensor is recessed into a 1/2 inch deep heatshield and this socket is too chunky to reach it.  One of the straight sockets might work, but I'm skeptical those have a slot that's long enough to fit the wires without mashing them.  Ended up going with a Snap-On S6176 oxygen sensor socket that the service manual calls for.  It's expensive ($40), but I'll pay the money to have the proper tool for the job.3 stars because this worked fine for my O2 sensor that doesn't have a heatshield.
I used this to remove the O2 sensors on my 2005 Silverado and it worked exactly as advertised. They were stuck a bit, so I had to use PB Blaster to get help loosen them up. I wish this had a 1/2" drive so I could use my pry-bar and get some more leverage, but it ended up working fine with my 3/8" ratchet and a couple taps with a rubber mallet. It also would have been nice if it actually attached to the ratchet and wouldn't fall off, but it still worked fine. Just don't move it around much.
will make swapping out sensors allot easier. Much more heavy duty than I expected, a great addition to my tool box
Good heavy piece. Would work just fine but for me an open wrench socket head did the trick better. Don't forget to run the engine for a bit before wrenching on the O2 sensor!
This looks really cool on, I put this on my self (55yr old woman) used blue painters tape to mark placement then push on and I pressed down around it to make  sure tape had good hold. Can't really tell it does anything but looks great!
Installed it as shown. Gives a cool &#34;cowl&#34; look, and I noticed a major improvement in my heat last night. It was so hot it was burning my face off. Will also be nice to keep mud and debris out of the vent.
This I believe is for looks only, I can not tell any difference in air flow. I did turn my opening facing the windshield, look factor A+
Got it, easy install, jiust not sure how effective it actually is.  guess it's more of an esthetic than function, but you get what you pay for
fits well. good 3m brand auto adhesive. easy install. wouldn&#8217;t recommend installing with opening facing rear bc leaves get in there and it makes it hard to clean out, plus the way that its shaped it would fit right on the base. it would hang over slightly, so be sure to test fit it before you pull the covers off the adhesive strips. air flow to my heat/ac was slightly improved, but not drastically. it does look cool and keeps leaves and mud etc out of the air intake. its a kind of glossy black. i would&#8217;ve preferred a flat black as an option. didn&#8217;t bother painting mine. the sun may do that over time anyway. I&#8217;ve had mine on for thousands of miles now and its still looking good and sticking well.
I bought to just for looks and mounted it on a 2011 jeep sport. It fits perfect and looks awesome and actually does pull in more air. Just mount it the way it is on the box, because it looks cooler and because the way the jeep is designed it functions better that way. The wind hit the windshield and bounces off and gets pulled into the vent. Check out the forums and they confirm it works better mounting the scoop towards the window. Its made of quality plastic and matches the black trim on the jeep.
Very easy to install, but the only issue will be cleaning it out.  Tough angle to reach, and I've scooped up several bugs in it already.
Great to add a little flare to your Jeep and protect that scooped out section from women's rings, etc.I like that it is just a small detail that only Jeepers really notice.
The plastic and finish is cheap.  I got adhesive remover on them and it ruins the finish.  I do not have high hopes that they will not fade in the sun light.With that said, I love the look and since they are already on, I would just repaint and reinstall if they do fade.
Easy to install and they add a nice touch to the Jeep.  I would buy them again without any hesitation.
If you own a Jeep Wrangler, these are a must have item.  I could not be happier with the ones that I purchased.  They go on fairly quickly once you peel off all the 3m tape!  But I am pleased to protect my door handle areas!
I really love these!  I highly recommend them to keep scratches, etc. from behind the door handle of your Jeep.  Being female with rings and such, I know I will not be scratching the surface behind the handle.  Be sure and use the alcohol wipes provided and clean really well behind the handle, check the placement well before completely securing and press and you are done!  Great look and functionality!!
It covers paint scratches that seem to show up even on the doors where no one uses a key.  I was a little disappointed in the design. The outer edge should be thinner.  When combined with the thick 3M backing tape the outer edge does not sit completely flush with the outer edge of the recessed hole.If there was a manufacturer that produced one that was more flush with the side of the door I would get it.  But otherwise it is adequate.
I got these strait to my dour very fast and I'm very satisfied with them, it was very easy installation and very urged material that protect my doors from scratches
I installed it on my 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Very easy to install. Just take the tape off. Make sure you have it aligned well before you take off the tape first.
While ordering these, I was wondering if I was going to like the look...I really do, it looks stock - as a matter of fact it looks like these should have been part of the design of the Jeep to begin with.A little harrowing to put on - since once they are on - they are on, and I fear that I did not align them all absolutely perfectly...BTW I bought the 5 piece kit for my 2 door jeep - it was only $1 or so more, and it is probably a good idea to have some spares.
They look great, very functional for clumsy people like myself, and very easy to install. Yet another great, cheap mod!
Looks great and keeps the fingernails from scratching the paint behind the handle . Glad I bought it. Superbuy.
I screwed up and got the 5 piece set and only needed 2 but it was still worth it.Easy double sided sticky tape and had both installed in about 10 minutes. They just add a nice touch.
Easy install, great addition to looks of the vehicle, bright red looks great with all the black matte fendors and bumper and door handles so this piece behind the handles not only protects the door divets, but accents the red even more.My only concern with them will be this winter, there was a tiney gap behind them yet and if water gets in there and freezes it might try to pop them off, this would be solved by using thinner doubled sided tape like they use on the rugged ridge window visors (the visors tape is a very thin 1/16th or so of an inch) and covering more of the rear surface then this thicker tape did (about 60% of the surface are is taped, and its about 1/8th of an inch thick)
I bought this for my2 door jeep sport because it was a few dollars cheaper. I also have 2 more extra door guards.in case anything happens to the others but I doubt it.
SPLAT - the "Cleaning Putty that removes debris from nooks and crannies" -- does what it claims to do -- it DOES pick up (very nicely) that dust and dirt and debris that collects in those hard-to-reach corners, nooks and crannies of the car body.Using it takes a bit of adjustment -- it is super "viscous". You need to hold it firmly in your hand, and then press down just as firmly to make total contact. Lift it up - there's the dirt. Don't leave it on too long, or you will have to tug at it to get it off, and there might be some "droplets" left on the finish, MOST of which can be picked up by pressing SPLAT back onto the droplets. There was a "Shadow" left on my car's surface for a brief instant after lift-off, but upon inspection, it was not any kind of oil and it actually dissipated/evaporated in a few seconds.This would, IMHO, be great to use as a "before" wax prep, after you have washed the car and dried it off -- so all the dirt is actually GONE before you wax. I would think it would also be great to use at a rod run or local car show, to get off any bits of dust that may have migrated to that otherwise-spotless finish.Word of caution -- try not to drop it on the ground. Sadly, there was a newly mulched lawn right next to my car and while I was using this product, I dropped it... on the mulch. True to form, after I picked out what mulch pieces I could, SPLAT just prety much surrounded the rest of the mulch with its gooey body (after being placed back in its jar for a while) and kept on performing its job flawlessly.June 2012: UPDATE. SPLAT is Dead. Long Live SPLAT... Would I buy this again? well... I would consider it. It has now turned into a container of SPLAT soup. Yes, I left it in the car over the winter but we had a mild winter....
It is orange and kind of "icky"- seems like something a 5 year old would think is cool. If you stepped on it in the dark, you'd scream.But the purpose of the stuff is to get dust and dirt out of small places. It seems to do that well. I tried it on a couple spots on my car that always seem to gather dirt but resist cleaning- such as radio buttons, the lips around buttons and controls, crevices in the trim panels, etc. In every case it seemed to get most of the dust out, although it seemed to have trouble with larger pieces of dirt. It does not work very well on anything that is "stuck", since it doesn't seem to have a whole lot of sticky attraction.It never seemed to leave any residue on any of the surfaces in the car-although I never tried it on glass or clear plastic where a residue might be more visible.I also tried it on my cell phone-which seems to have all sorts of places to collect dust. It did a reasonable job on the dust, but I did notice small pieces of the goo breaking off, especially around the buttons. These came off pretty easy, but you would hope this wouldn't happen. Based on that, I was afraid to try it on my laptop keyboard-something I was hoping it would be suited for.Is it the cure-all solution to all your tight-space cleaning needs? No, I don't think so. But in 5 minutes it did make a noticeable improvement on my "just cleaned" dashboard. It works great on dust, not quite as good on larger particles. It did "refresh" my cell phone and got rid of some dust that has been there for quite a while.It does come in a jar with a tight seal, so it should last between uses...unless your 5-year-old finds it. I do hope it is as non-toxic as advertised, because it certainly will be attractive to kids.While I don't see a residue, I would certainly not trust it on photo lenses or sensors.
Splat is an orange colored glop. It feels like something a kid would like on Halloween. It's kind of fun actually. More importantly, this product solves a problem that has bugged us all at one time or another: it gets those crumbs and bits of stuff out of hard-to-reach cracks and crevices. You know, like the space on the center console of the car where crud accumulates next to the automatic transmission lever. I have tried everything from cotton swabs to pencil points. That stuff just refused to leave.Another problem place is the small spaces on a computer keyboard or a laptop. You can't use liquid cleaners unless you want to short out the computer. Another one of those petty daty-to-day problems.Enter Splat (what a great name!). Just take some of the stuff and jam it into those hard-to-reach spots and Viola! the dirt comes up with the goop when you remove it. Even better, the stuff is reusable. Just stuff it back into its jar, tighten the lid and save it for the next time you want to get some crud out of a small place.Bottom line: this stuff is great. It works as advertised, gets the job done, and doesn't appear to leave any residue. It's also non-toxic and reusable. This stuff is truly a bargain. It works, it's fun, and you can use it to scare your friends. Cool!
This Splat stuff is really interesting.  When I first got the jar, it was filled to the top with gooey shivery bright orange goo that is the same type of thing we used to get at the toy store and throw against the wall and watch it roll down.This glob of goo, however, is supposed to be used to clean crevices in your car- speakers, dials, switches, vents, etc, that you can not easily clean otherwise.  I did not use this goo right away, and almost a month later, I was surprised to see that the volume of the Splat goo went down by half.  It had shrunk- and no one had taken any out either.It is a bit weird to get used to using at first too, but it quickly becomes easy to manipulate into little places you want to clean.When using it, it really does work.  Little switches and indented areas that gather a lot of dirt and dust were cleaned well with no residue.  The only problems I had were two:---Don't drop it on the floor or it will grab every single stone, piece of dirt, or garbage it touches.---Don't let it touch the windows or it will leave a smudge that you can only see at night when lights are coming at you and it can be very distracting.  It does wash off relatively easily- but it takes a bit of work to get it back to the way it was.All in all, however, I like Splat.  As long as I don't drop it or let it touch any windows in the car, it does a good job.  It is only useable for 50 uses and that is not a whole lot- but it is biodegradable.  I have not used it up yet so I can not comment on the biodegradability of Splat.
Ok, so it looks strange, feels strange, and makes you think of 50's movies...but it works. I've cleaned out the vents of three cars and all their other nooks. Used in the house for heating vents, air intakesanything small and difficult to get to. It's simple, easy to use, shows no sign of reduced effectiveness after some hard use.Leaves no residue I could detect it's a simple smart fix for a niche problem almost everyone has. Good stuff.
I wasn't 100% sure what to expect when I got this, but I tried it out as soon as it arrived, and WOW!My car was professionally detailed about three weeks ago, and I was blown away by how much crud Splat picked up. Splat works so well in vents and crevices like around the shifter, gaps in the dash molding, and other places that you'll fall in love instantly if you like keeping your interior looking as new as you can.Cleaning my vents used to take 15 minutes or more with a detailing brush to get them dust free, and Splat knocked the job out in a couple minutes, with results better than I've ever got on my own.Now, looking at the pictures, you might be thinking "Oh, it's slime. My kid's got that.", but the consistency is much different. Splat stays a cohesive blob, and is much more tacky than toy slime. It isn't unbreakable by any means, but for grabbing dust and debris, you're not going to lose pieces of it when you take it off.Based on my experience with it, I'd expect it to cost twice as much as it does, and to be honest, I'd still consider it to be a fair value. For how well it works, how much time it saves, and what the cost is here, it's a tremendous value. You really owe it to yourself to give Splat a shot.
When I first opened the jar of SPLAT, it looked sort of like orange Jell-O. I worried that it would be sticky to deal with, but I simply upended the jar and the putty slid out easily onto my hand.  It is not at all sticky, it is a wet gel that holds together much better than I expected.  I rolled it around on various surfaces in my car, and it did a great job of picking up dust and lint without leaving any kind of residue.  The only issue I had was that there was a narrow crack between two dash panels where there was a piece of some white lint - the SPLAT did not manage to work its way enough into the crack to pick up the lint, but a swipe with a brush took care of that.  No matter how I manipulated the SPLAT, it stayed as one "blob" and did not separate.
Simple product?  Yes... but it sure does impress when in use.You'd think it was a magnet the way it holds on to items placed on it, really sticky but with no residue on items or fingers, just sticky rubber mat.It works, and that is saying something these days.Note that any item placed on the mat that is round or cylindrical COULD still roll if it's heavy enough and you go around a corner hard enough.  Flat items with smooth surfaces..... can't see them moving until you pick them up.It will also stick dirt, lint etc but easy to wash off and after it's dry, back to sticky again.Make sure you clean/dust the area you want to place the pad or it might not stick as well for you.  Not sure you want to place it on a dash that has had "shiner" spray put on it, might make it slip and slide.I've already found uses for it outside the car dash/center console.  If you work with small tools or parts on a table top or smooth workbench, it will keep tools and small parts from moving around and are right where you put them.I'm sure there are many other uses as well.  Nice product.
Think fly paper when you buy this item. It is very sticky which means it attracts everything. It also sticks a little too well to a dash and gets worst when it is a hot dash. Pulling it up leaves a mark on your dash for a few days. I thought it would be a friction mat, not a highly sticky mat.
There are some reviews on here that give this product a bad review because it is too sticky (which is ridiculous). It does it's job REALLY well and it should not be rated low because of it.This dash grip is VERY sticky; I have never had anything fall off of it, which is what you are looking for. I have had other grips before and they are all worthless. We put this one in my wife's car because she has a Hello-Kitty bobble head, and we just did not know how to put it on the dash without it falling off or being too strong and damaging the dash. This is the key. We can put our phones on it while the bobble head still sits on the dash, and nothing has ever fallen off.I would say though, that this is very sticky. The bobble head has been on the grip pad for several months and it has gotten more and more stuck to the pad. In the hot sun the pad gets more sticky, almost gummy feeling, and this has caused the bobble head to become firmly placed. The only way to get it off the pad is by removing the pad completely from the dash.So, to conclude, this product does it's job very, very well. If you leave something on if for a long time, it will probably get somewhat stuck, but if you remove the pad, it everything will come off just fine.I would buy again.
This product is not touted as being a marvel of engineering. It is plainly and simply a mat that will cling to your dashboard and upon which you can place a few items that will cling to the mat. For example, if you travel on a toll road you can put coins on the mat where they can be easily seen and retrieved. You would not leave any coins in an unattended vehicle, of course. There are those who will break into a vehicle to steal a nickel.If you happen to be a handyman (or handywoman)you will find many other uses for this mat.The mat is exacty as advertised and that is saying a lot these days.
Thought it was a big sticker it was so sticky, but its not. Just peel and replace multiple times, still stays put. Use it on my dash to keep items in place.
This is one amazing dashgrip. Holds my phone in place without it falling off or moving a inch, even during sharp turns.Highly recommended.
Purchased the first one for myself, re-ordered more for my Wife and children.  Amazing product, exceptionally useful, leaves zero sticky residue.  Do yourself a favor and get this.
Several issues to consider after using it.1. a small rubberish smell in the car after you use it.2. starts to collect dust too, so I don't know how long would it last if it continues to get dusts on it.3. having sun shining on it (on the dash board), don't know if it will have "hardening" effect on the rubber or the stickiness.4. the "mat" is toooooooo small.  I thought it was bigger.  But it's really small for my needs (I wish it were double in size or at lease 50% larger).Due to so many questions and small size in particular , I gave it a 3 star review.
Nice and sticky.  Holds everything perfectly and easy to wash and renew.  It was exactly what I was looking for.
This seems to work exactly as promised.  Lay it on your dash, lay a pen and some sunglasses on it and there they stay until you want them.  Not being one accustomed to leaving things on my dash, I'm not sure that will be my primary use though.  Change, pens, sunglasses all have their place in my console or existing dash cubbies.  I don't see using it for a cell phone, GPS etc unless you take all that with you when you're parked.  Do you really want to leave that exposed to the elements and visible to thieves?  Instead, I am intrigued by other applications for this product.  I can see it on the side of the little TV in my kitchen to hold the remotes in place.  The possibilities are endless.  Bet it could even fill in as a lint roller in a pinch!
I don't care what the other folks said about this being too sticky; it couldn't be too sticky for me.  I also read that the items stick to it better than it does the dash.  I can tell you that if you have Armor-all on your dash, it doesn't stick to the dash as well as if you take an alcohol rub and clean the area it is to sit.  It sticks so well that I can lay my sunglasses in any position and they will stay.  I even placed the glasses lens down to see if it would leave a residue and it didn't.  I think it actually pulled the fingerprint off the lens.  I've got an old flip phone that isn't in the best shape and it actually stuck so good that it almost pulled the batter cover off.  It doesn't hurt my iPhone at all.  The only regret is I don't have more to put on the dash for everything I use often and road trips.  I know, I know, it'd look goofy but I'm telling you, no more cd cases or thumb drive or sunglasses sliding our the window or landing in the door pocket of the passenger door.  I'm going to buy more.
We put this on the dash of my wifes mini van, it holds phones and sunglasses with out any movement at all. I turned around and bought one for my truck.
This is a really cool mat to have in your car or even at home. I use it for my car to hold my sun glass and cell phone. It is very STICKY and will hold almost anything. Many people complain that it leaves residue on their dash board but I did not have any problems with it. I had it during the hot summer months with no issues. If you are worried, I would reccomend that you put some sticker under the mat just incase. If your dash board is affected by the sun and discolors like some reviewers says, then this is not the product's fault. Anything you put on your dashboard will keep that spot dark while the other surface is exposed to the sun. So overall the product itself is great, its at a good price and it's worth a try.
If you ride a trail this is a must. Very easy to use and install. This is one of the best that I have used. Very little if any vibration while riding. Well worth the money.
The stem is somewhat loose and has a tendency to move in the base. l had wrap electical tape around that area to make it more stable. Therefore I'm disappoint in this item.
Found this to be fair quality and great for my mountain bike bars . Adjustment stays in place after being set .
Just got my mirror today and this thing is HUGE !! I dont know weather to put it on my bike or put it on the vanity in the bathroom?
These mirrors work well when mounted on a front rack of my ATV.  I like the mounting bracket better than the u-bolt on the ATV Tek ATVMIR2.  I like the fact that they are a quick disconnect (without tools) as well.BUT........I'm not a fan of the round mirror--it just does not give the field of view that the rectangular ATVMIR2 gives (at $10 more in cost).  I'm also not a fan of plastic.  This mirror is just not as sturdy as the ATVMIR2.  The disconnect mechanism on this mirror is PLASTIC, and if not handled with tender loving care, IT WILL BREAK (and it is prone to weathering, especially from sunlight).  Plan on replacing these every year or two if you give you ATV a lot of rugged use and exposure to the weather.
This brand has a good rep to protect and the relatively inexpensive product here is no exception to what I think is a well reputed line.  It has the hardware to mount it and does as good a job as not looking over your shoulder can do.  Use it to be legal in some states, and to keep track of who is gaining on you.  The image is clean and the construction nice for the price.
Good quality, but I cant get it to stay firmly in place... yes I've tightened all the screws on the mount and on the bottom of the mirror and the swivel thing... I'll keep trying because it is a good thing to have on an ATV when riding with others.
Much safer than looking over your shoulder to make sure you didn't lose anyone, quality unit with a lot of adjustability, mirror surface could be better, not a solid connection for the mirror and mount, has a ratchet so if you hit a branch it may give rather than break which looks good.  It looks like quality.  I mounted it to a parallel tube on the rack rather than a cross one in the pic, gives you both tilt and swivel adjustments and is in closer to avoid branches.
Bought this mirror to make my atv street legal in South Dakota. Holds solid on and offroad, don't have to make constant adjustments.
I have been using this product for about a year and have been pleased with the results.  I have recommended it to other campers and they are using it also.
This is pure magic.  So easy to use and works great.  I recommend this product to every RVer.  No more smelly or clogged pipes for me with this product.
Good price but have not used yet..............but received in great time and packaged well.  ThanksFrom what I read it should be just what I was looking for.
These dissolvable tablets definitely seemed to have helped reduce, but not yet completely eliminate, the sickly-sour smell of the waste water in our travel trailer's gray water tank.  We live in our travel trailer full-time and dump the gray water tank about every three or four days.  That's when I notice the order.We've been dissolving one tablet down the kitchen sink drain after each dump and I like them enough to have ordered more.  I'll post an update in the future.
Great stuff for both grey tanks - put one tab in the galley and bath tanks - nice and fresh now !
I don't feel like I'm slowly killing my lungs or hands by using this product like I do with the black tank stuff.  It is a little tablet you put down the kitchen sink in your camper to keep odors in the grey tank from getting out of hand.  It REALLY WORKS.  We started using these last year and are going to use them forever because they really get rid of any weird odors that are not from the black tank.  Easy to use, quick to dissolve, and fast-acting.  Pleasant citrus scent, too.
I use one of tablets after I empty the grey water tank and start refilling. I have reordered it several times so far.
These were recommended by a friend and they work great.  Never had a problem with the gray water anyway.  By the way it should be "gray" water unless these are for use in British English countries.  :)  grAy for American and grEy for England.
These work very well. Nice scent and make a difference immediately. There aren't very many in a package which is disheartening since grey water is drained constantly and you have to add tablets often. There are only five in this bag. For the cost and the size of the bag a dozen would make more sense. And the tablets are big. I break them in half.
Any grey water held for an extended period in high temps is going to start to get pretty stinky, and while this does help a bit in masking the smell, and keeping it at bay a bit longer, it won't perform any miracles.That said, I use it if I know I'll be boondocking for a while.  (which is usually how I camp.)
I swear this stuff stunk up my trailer (kind of an oniony smell). Maybe it was a fluke, I will give it one more chance. For what its worth it doesn't seem to dissolve all the way, I saw chunks of it leave the pipe when draining the tank.
The Walex TOI-61776 Elemonate Grey Water Deodorizer and Cleaner works ok, just ok for a few days and I have to place more in the Gray Water Tank. I wish there was a product on the market that would work alittle longer. But, you have to remember what your dealing with,&#34; A rolling outhouse&#34;!!
Added this to both gray tanks in my new RV (yes it has 2 separate 33 gallon gray water tanks). Keeps holding tanks from becoming smelly. Product works as advertised but only get a few applications with each bag. Even still, I use this product because it works.
Because one can attach the female end easily, the whole unit could be 'tighter' to the machine.  Otherwise the brass, threads and gasket are all of high quality.
If your water supply is on the side, like most campers are, you gotta have this. If you don't have an elbow, you get kinks in your hose. I found I had to replace my water hook-up hose after just one season of use. I'm definetly sure this cured the problem, no more kinks!
.These got our washing machine about 1-2 inches closer to the wall. And any issue with hose wear or tight bends is eliminated.Nice, heavy castings. Good quality overall (I did sand some burrs off the hose connection. The washers are maybe not as smooth as you'd like, but not an actual problem.)- - - Pricing - - -Amazon price bounces around between $5 and $7. There's an "Online Price Alert" that will email you whenever this or any amazon product dips below your target price. Google it. It's nicely done. Or try camelcamelcamel, which also shows price history.~~~ Comments & questions welcome ~~~
solid construction - finally not stressing the joint of my RV with the water inlet.no freezing experience yet but it's holding well and looks to be good constructionwould reocmmend product
After you purchase this elbow, you are able to read the fine print, and find that it contains lead. I would rather not have lead in the connection to my fresh water system on my motor home, but I have not died yet.
Very happy to have this connector . . . It made it very easy to hook up and disconnect my water line after initial connection. I disconnected the hose three times for different uses and never had to force my hand and fingers on the RV hook up. Simply turned the ears on this elbow an easily disconnected my water line..... It kept the hose from bowing and allowed me to work away from the hose connection on your RV.....
Nice sturdy elbow works great
Does its job, easy to hook up w/o leaks.  Takes the stress off the city water inlet.  Best accessory I have bought in along time.Add a few quick disconnects and this makes setting up water lines a breeze.
This will save the hose from my travel trailer by not bending at the connection.  Also will keep the hose closer to the travel trailer and not stick out for people to trip on as they walk around without looking.
good price, quick delivery, solid brass constructed item, with rubber o-ring included - will make connecting rv water supply easy, while avoiding putting a kink in the hose - highly recommended
This elbow worked perfectly fine. It is easier on the hose because it does not get all bent up. And It came in the mail pretty quickly. I would recommend to anyone.
No news here.  I  bought it but not used it yet. Will update it lower if it does not work well when I get it on the RV
I didn't really have to have this little elbow but it works very nicely for routing a hose to or from any location.I give it 5 stars because it is well made and I like the convenience of it.
Used it every time we go on trips. Hook it to the MH and then the water filter. Good price if you are ordering others things for the free shipping but you can find the same thing a Lowe's, Home Depot or your local hardware store for about the same price. Shipping in same day of orders.
This prevents the bending of your suppy hose where itenters the RV.  You will find it useful and your hose will last longer.
This product is easy to use and well made.  It prevents the water hose from kinking and restricting water flow which happens in hot weather.
We bought these to use with our new washing machine.  The braided &#34;FloodSafe&#34; hoses do not bend (& you should make sure they DO NOT BEND) & so take up more space behind the machine.  These 90 degree elbows solve that problem.  We've had them on for 2 months now & no leaks at the connection.Be careful not to overtighten; that can destroy the threads & cause leaking.
I would use the short spring type strain relief but it still put a binding strain on the hose connection to the RV and would leak almost every time.  This 90 degree elbow eliminates almost all the strain and makes the hose connection look neater and no more leaks.
It's ok. Works fine for keeping the kink out of the hose, and pressure off of the trailer connection. Just not crazy about the lead content, and the warning about comming in contact with lead while handling. What about drinking water flowing thru it? Shipping was very fast.
It doesn't leak. The 90 degree, plus a support piece I added to the utility bay takes ALL the strain off of the fittings and hose!
Well-machined and just what I wanted. Description matched item perfectly - couldn't go wrong with it. Well packaged and timely arrival.
This works perfectly on my small travel trailer.  The city water connection comes strainght out from the side of the trailer and puts some undue stress on the connection.  This elbow eliminates most of that stress.
I bought this item to be a backup for my old one. I just completed a 3,611 trip in my Rockwood travel trailer and I needed another hose elbow for my trips. This is an outstanding product and I recommend them to all my RV buddies.
Bought this to keep fresh water hose to travel trailer from kinking at the outside connection. Does the job and stronger than cheaper plastic ones.
Used this to get my washing machine closer to the wall and it worked perfectly. It is also a great price compared to other similar items out there.
If you have a camper or PUP with a city water hose connector that is flush with your sidewall, this is a must have item.  Creates a nice union between the camper and the hose without the hose bending or causing undue stress on the camper's water connection.
This product is well made and it keeps the water supply hose running straight and prevents it from restricting water flow at the connection point
Just what I wanted! Very well made and just what I expected. The only drawback is that it was about half the price at Walmart.
In my motor home water bay, if you didn't want the H2O hook up not to stick straight out, this is the only way to go. I've had it 4 years now w/o a problem.
This is a great idea, but the one I received had several pinhole leaks.  Not just seepage, but small jets of water from bad casting.
This 90* elbow does exactly what you would expect.  It's easy to install, features a nice, soft O-ring (some of these things don't), it seals well and can be left on your RV.  In my case, the 90* bend really helps route my potable water hose nicely.
I really like this, I put a water pressure regulator on it and then hook up the hose, I just leave those two together works like one unit
I use this 90 degree elbow on my RV so the water hose drops straight down making a nicer fit and saves the hose from weighing down the water inlet commection.  Strong and sturdy.  I do recommend,
all bass, no aluminum or iron to contaminate the drinking water and the right angle takes the pressure of the hose when refilling our fresh water tank
The inlet on my travel trailer doesn't rotate, so this elbow doesn't end up pointing straight down. Other than that, it's simple and water tight.
I bought this for our RV so that the hose can be straight down and not get kinks in it.  Works great.  Would recommend to RV owners.
Perfect to bend a hose 90 degrees without putting stress on the hose.It stopped the problem I had of a hose kinking.
Have used this product in the past and were very happy with the product.Its a necessity when you need a perfect connection and no leaks.
Got is so that we can close the outer door on the control and water hook up area on our 5th wheel. Works great and we alsu use an inline filter with it.
I used these elbows to allow my washing machine to sit a little farther back against the wall without having he rubber hoses stressed.
Had a plastic one it cracked and tried this one. Glade I did there is no comparison between them they both do the same job but this one will last and is easier to install.
OK, this is a simple device, but it worked like a charm. Good quality and NO leaks at the connection!
This 90 degree elbow works great on my trailer's city water connection!  It keeps the hose from sticking straight out from my trailer and possibly getting tin the way.  I also attached a pressure regulator to this in case the campground's water pressure is too high.I leave this and the pressure regulator attached to my hose all the time and connect the open end of the hose to the male end of this elbow for storage.
The regulator stops the guess work over how much water pressure the camping area has and limits to a top pressure of 50 lbs. This stopped the noises of too much water presure on the system.
Good quality at a reasonable price.  Just what I needed.  I highly recommend this product and company.  I will return to buy any other item I need.
this thing works great. And it is probably the only thing that is keeping my pipes from breaking when I go to certain RV parks. Unfortunately, the angle of my water inlet makes it difficult to put a hose on it but that is a particularity of my trailer. It seems to function as designed, is very durable, and I would say that it is a good purchase. The price is right.
I returned this items because it contained lead in why in this day an age would something with lead in it still be sold ?
Got one of these when I blew out a couple hoses due to high pressure. While it did reduce the pressure, it caused backflow problems that caused hammering pipes. Resolved that, and the regulator stopped working. Turns out if it sits with backpressure on it it starts to stick. I'm on my second Camco reg and it is now starting to fail. If you use this a lot (I live in my RV, so it gets constant use) go for a good reg. If you only use it occasionally this is probably fine.
great price, quick delivery - solid construction, easy to use, and makes it easy and straight forward to know when your that your rv is protected from high-pressure - highly recommended
I'm a newbie RV person (though I'm 74 years old) so took the advice of others to purchase this for use when hooking up to water sources at campgrounds to prevent possible damage to my drinking water hoses and the travel trailer plumbing.  Was surprised that it has a "slip" joint for putting it on the faucet.  Looks like it will be convenient to keep it on the water hose.  Also didn't think about the fact it carries a note that it contains lead.  But at my age and the infrequent use I'm hoping it won't be a health problem.  Younger people may want to find a lead free unit. UPDATE: April 2014: Last April (2013) when "dewinterized" my trailer I found out (as other reviewers did) that it didn't work. Water would start to flow through and then it would shut down stopping all flow.  Not sure why it would only last a year but that is what happened. Bought a different brand from Amazon at that time and it still worked this year.
works great with the filter that i bought. better safe than sorry at some camp grounds. all brass an well made.
This device feels solid when you pick it up.  The fauceet connection works smoothly.  As far as I can tell it is doing its job.
This is a well made water regulator but it restricts the water flow to much so there is hardly any pressure in the camper.  Basically, a waste of money IMHO.  Get one with a pressure gauge and that allows you to regulate the actual water pressure.
Quality is a 5, but item is only a 3, but I figured I was only purchasing a 3 when I bought it. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, just a cheapregulator to protect my plumbing in my travel trailer. It does just what I expected, but much better quality materials, and workmanship. If you want a fancy gizmo with gauges, bells, and whistles, spend a hundred bucks. Or spend a few for this, and it will do the same thing. Great shipping. Arrived in just a couple of days with normal shipping.
Very good quality and easy to use.  A must for all campers and rv's.  I like the filter in it also.
you gotta protect your rv from high water pressure as the pipes are made to handle typical city water pressure of 90 psi, this will help and make sure while you are hooked up your rv is protected.  doesn't get any easire than this just screw it into the water connection at the park and let it go from there.
Will update this review if for any reason this thing doesn't function flawlessly. Best price, that always helps..Compare to the RV store?
First off, I use one of these on my RV. It works great, and rare to find actual good-quality metal ANYTHING now days.  It gets pressure below 50-psi...depends on several variables as to how much lower...their ad info is right though, always between 40-50 psi.As for every one of the reviews I've read here on the 'negatives'...I'd like to point out that this is NOT an anti-hammer reservoir, nor is it a filter.  Nasty water at any RV park will most assuredly clog it up to where it won't work...pre-filter between your camp connector and your regulator. That will fix the issue (or, replace your filter element then).As for 'hammering' due to pressure...this is also a simple fix. Get an anti-hammer reservoir. You can 'rig up' your own, buy a 'house-type' anti-hammer at most any hardware store, or you can buy one like the SHURFLO Pre-Pressurized Tank (available on Amazon). It helps to buffer 'hammer' out of your water system. I find it to work best on RV's, because RV's use vaned-pumps for 'off-system' water, and you get a natural 'stutter' as a result. If you put a small pressurized tank in your system, the tank buffers that vaned-pump stutter, as well as acts like a anti-hammer to on-system water sources.This is a really good product.
I have not yet used the regulator but as I see it and the construction I am very pleased and quite sure that this product will serve me well and long. The brass construction should hold up to years of service.
When I first tried it the coupling leaked just a tad and I stored it away as lesson learned. Since then I was having a problem with my water hose getting torqued and unscrewing itself and leaking. I decided to revisit this pressure regulator again as the coupling allowed it to turn freely and it solved my problem with the hose unwinding and loosening the cap. The coupling that leaked before on the regulator also leaked again, but this time I could tighten it better as it was more out in the open and was able to stop the coupling from leaking. I still haven't figured out how tightening it helped, but it's not leaking now. Problem resolved!
This can save your internal water system on your camper or motorhome from damage.  Some water supplies at rv parks have very high pressure and this little reducer will do the trick.
Very well made product, except for the inlet strainer. It was deformed and kind of sketchy on the one I received. Not a big problem to swap it out though.
This item protects the water supply hose as well as the inside plumbing from high water pressures that could cause some very unpleasant problems.  The last thing you want on a camping trip is plumbing issues.
Well made and priced right. A real necessity if you are going to hook up to water systems with unknown presures.
This regulator is cheap insurance to help prevent pressure related plumbing failures. A must have if you are connected to city water, night time pressures can easily exceed the pressure limitations of RV plumbing.
I ordered this just to be on the safe side when hooking up at RV parks. It's always been a breeze to hook up and it's kept pressure to a reasonable level.
Don't go RV'ing without one.  Most parks have well regulated water pressure, but the first time you find one that doesn't, you will wish you had spent the $6 and had one of these.
Like many reviewers here, I bought the Camco regulators to lower the water pressure for a separate water hammer arrester, since the arrester specified a 60PSI maximum and my household water pressure is 80PSI. It's been a couple of weeks and many loads of laundry, and so far they are working well. I do note some other users complaining about sticking and will be on the watch for that, but I don't expect backpressure issues in my installation. Do note that these require the water flow in one direction for proper operation.
Works better than the plastic type to keep your RV water pressure where it should be.  I like that it is brass and not the plastic type.  I do have the plastic type for a back up but prefer this one!
A pressure regulator represents a prudent precaution against RV internal water line damage from high or otherwise unknown water pressure.  Low water pressure seems to be a more prevalent condition at many camp grounds, however, we have found some with substantially higher pressure that the 50 psi found in most homes.
This is a MUST HAVE for any RV's. Nothing like a $7 insurance policy to protect my RV's water lines. Found this all brass one for the same price as what I could find plastic ones for locally. Camco makes several great products....I have purchased many and not had a problem with any of them.
Once I installed the water pressure regulator I really coulnd't tell the diffence between my old one verses the new one.  I wouldn't waste the money if yours is working.  But I had to try it.
Serves its purpose.
I often have a need for simple two wire connectors when doing automotive wiring. I generally like to use Delphi and other modern weather proof connectors but sometimes those are overkill in both price and complexity. These connectors are very simple in nature and pretty small in size.These admittedly are a pretty tight connection and fairly tough to fully seat. I would imagine that if you were to plug and unplug these often they would loosen up in time making them easier to fully seat and unplug. For my application I just need them to be able to be disconnected in the even I need to replace an electrical part. For that a tight connection isn't an issue at all.
These are good to use when a little more room is needed. I use on my ATV to extend the rear pig tail for my Batt. charger as I have a basket on it and now you don't have to craw under the basket.
This product from Allstar Performance is Number ALL76232 and is a Universal Two wire connector with a 12" loop of wire so you can cut it at the proper length you need for a power feed connection or an other use with low voltage.
It is well made,connects well,and doesn't kink.I will by more,as my needs for this connector increase.Theyr'e cheap,andthey work well.
My order arrived inside one week, that's excellent!  This connector makes installation/removal of equipment or devices in or on a vehicle very easy ... literally plug 'n' play.  Use as it is or do as I have, cut it in the middle and use each segment as the joiner between power/ground and whatever you're powering.  I bought a 'hydra' connector for my motorcycle that goes to the battery and these cut connectors will be attached to the LED lighting and other light-medium current accessories with the addition of ATC inline fuse holders for protection.  It eliminates a mess of 'bullet' connectors.  Makes the airbox 'busy,' but it works and is safe, and the connections are all resistant to weather and can be disconnected easily for service.
If you use a battery tender this is useful.  I use a splitter, also found on Amazon, and maintaing multiple batteries with one battery tender.  Rather then buy multiple ends and pieces I bought these inexpensive connectors.  Ofter if I just need one end I cut it in halve so I have what I need and can splice to extend if necessary with old lamp cord or pretty much any wire you have laying around.
Hi all. I used this to connect the Midwoofer to the crossover module in my Infinity Components. And used a wiring adapter to connect the Factory Harness to the Input. Now I when I need to, It will be easier to remove my front door panels. As I only have two plugs to remove for the speakers.
I needed to make some longer wires for my bank of battery maintainers.  I bought these and a spool of 14-2 stranded speaker wire with heavy duty sheathing, some solder, some shrink wrap and i had custom wires for my litlle charger and can charge/maintain 4 batteries at once off of the little trickle charger.
Great for quick disconnects for automatic door locks and windows. I initially bought 3, buying 6 more. Easy to crimp and connect, pulls apart easy enough.
I use it just for its plugs.  I wish it comes with dirt cover and outer cable shield for better protection for use under the hood connection.
Solid secure connection, large enough wire (I think 16'ish gauge?). I used it on the output and ground for my trailer brake controller so it wouldn't be running 24/7. Just simply plug the leads together and its working again, very nice to have.
It just doesn't fit very well. Hard to disconnect and had a faulty connection.  Typical low quality stuff from you know where. Basically, you get what you paid for. I highly don't recommend this.  Terrible product.
I was looking for a short extension cable for a 12V charger that has a cable just inches short enough for a permanent-install application; considering that under no circumstances would the circuit be required to pass more than 2A, this is a nearly ideal cable for the job. The fact that the cable is remarkably-well put together, and the connectors mate tightly with the other connectors in the circuit I consider added bonuses. Given the low price, I'll probably add a couple to my next order, just to have them around for experimentation.
I have a charger for my carBatteryMINDer Model 12117: 12 Volt 1.33 Amp (12V 1.33A) Charger/Maintainer/Desulfatorthat I use almost year round to keep my car battery in top shape. However I mainly got it for the winter here in ND. The trickle charge helps keep the battery warm and topped offed. It is really hard on the car and the starter to not have ample amperage to turn your car over in the cold winter months. Not to mention having it be cold outside and having to jump your car. Well since I use the charger almost daily the plug to my battery simply wore out. I cut off the old plug and soldered this one in and now I'm good for another few years before this one will need to be replaced. Oh and my car starts first try every time even with it being -30. Use the right motor oil and have a topped off car battery and your car shouldn't hesitate to start.
It's basically a mini extension cord for SAE connectors. Does the job and inexpensive to boot. Very happy with this purchase.
fits perfectly.  i used it to connect a 12v socket(lighter socket) on my fourwheeler to the battery via a &#34;Battery Tender 081-0069-6 Ring Terminal Harness with Black Fused 2-Pin Quick Disconnect Plug&#34; to allow me to put the charger inside of my front box, and disconnect it if i ever remove the box..  regardless, it fits the battery tender jr sockets perfectly.  good quality.  good wire gauge.  i recommend it.
AS others have mentioned the tip is to start the zipper as soon as you can then pull the cover over the hi-lift and it'll go on easy. I had no issues getting it over and covered. Quality seems OK. Don't know how it will hold up in the long term, I plan to keep the Hi-Lift in the truck only when going on trips as I don't want the unit to be stolen or weathered if it doesn't need to be. Will update when more time passes.
This is a small item for a large jack.  It was designed very oddly, as if by someone who had never used a Hi-Lift jack.  I like the tight fit, but putting it on and taking it off is a chore.  The boot only covers the working parts of the jack.  A redesign would be nice, with better ergonomics and larger size.
Looks nice on my gray Hi-Lift.  My concern is someone might steal it.  It sits inside the bed of my truck; hopefully most folks don't see it.
I was going crazy with the jack rattling on my roof rack. This and the handle keeper seem to have really cut back on the noise.It should keep the working components protected from the elements as well. I live in what is practically the desert so water and rust are not really an issue though.I wonder how the cover will hold up to the West Texas sun...time will tell.
On my 60in hilift extreme, this thing is like a fat girl in spandex.  Without another reviewers trick (start the zipper a few inches, remove the base, then slide on), I would never have been able to get the infernal thing on.
This barely fit my Hi-Lift jack, and its not a knock off brand like smittybilt or Toro, its a hi lift and it barely fit it fits so tight that the zipper couldnt even be pulled all the way up, so i resorted to putting zip tie through the zipper loop and used the zip tie as a leverage to pull the zipper all the way up, then zip tied it again so it would stay zipped up.
Fits fine but I'm concerned about the long term durability of the zipper, which seems smaller/lighter duty than I would expect for an offroad product that will be sitting on the bumper of a truck.
These don't last long in the Vegas sun... after one summer, it's already bleached almost gray. It hasn't frayed though, but just looks pretty nasty. I think my biggest complaint is that it seems to be really overpriced.
AFTER SQUEEZING IT OVER MY HILIFT EXTREME IT PROTECTS MY JACK THATS MOUNTED UP ON MY ROOF RACK/BASKET ON MY JEEP.  HOLDS UP WELL SO FAR TO NEW ENGLAND WEATHER.
works as described.  had no trouble with the zipper or fit that others have mentioned.
This item fits nice and is easy to put on.  It even works while in my Jeep rear door mount that I purchased along with it.  Not sure how much protection it will actually provide but it seems like it will keep dust and dirt out of the mechanisims but will not keep out moisture.
Most 4x4 stores will charge you twice the price for the same thing. If you carry your jack outside your vehicle then this is a must, not only to keep the elements off the mechanical part of the jack but to keep it quiet as well.
Easy to install, it hold your high jack very steady, makes easy to carry and in case you have to use the jack t is very handy. It does not look nice or add appearance to my jeep but its very helpful. I use it in my Jeep Wrangler TJ 2000
These are intended to be used with the Hi-Lift jack, and thus fit perfectly.  Easy to mount on any 1 to 2 inch tube.  Very secure. I do wish that they would have included a safety chain that would make me feel just a little more confident in them.  I added my own safety chain, one can never be too cautious.
Nice quality, well made, holds a heavy 48&#34; Hi-Jack very nicely, even in severe trail conditions.Zombies are alive and well!
I tought I'm buying A brand new idem but I gues I was wrong this was priviusly used and it has marks of wearing all over it, it make me sad I fall for such a scam
This high lift mounting system is a nice way of mounting the jack... I've mounted it on the top tube of my ARB Winch Bumper...Very sturdy,and keeps it in place even through the roughest most gnarlist terrain imaginable.. Thanks Hi Lift and Amazon...1 pt i would like to mention... Being out in the open like that, creates an easy steal for a thief.. I would recommend adding a small cable and lock jack to bumper..
This is a well built unit, machined out of a block of aluminum.I've used other hi-lift mounting brackets before and they were lockable.  I'll need to buy a separate cable lock for this one.
Got this and just before I took it out of the box returned it.I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered this. Its a couple of clamps with bolts....Now that I'm looking at it and thinking about it, I just can't rationalize $50.Went down to Lowes and got 2 clamps, bolts, and wing nuts. Welded the wing nuts to the clamps and have a nice tube mount for the Jeep under $10.00On the rock crawler I just welded the 2 bolts directly to the roll cage... under $5.00Only one star. Not because of the quality of the item. It is quality and very well made.I only gave it one star because this item should sell for half the price.
Been looking for these for a couple months with prices ranging from $60-$75 so when I caught these for $50 with free shipping it was a done deal for me. This is ABSOLUTELY the best way to mount your hi-lift jack to any tube bumper.
Bought this for a UTV side by side.  It was much more heavy  and beefier than I could have ever thought.  I thought at first that it may be a bit over kill, but put it into the wheeler.  I ended up towing a full size truck out of the ditch with it.  If it will do that I am sure it will work for my UTV.
Exactly what I needed to add to my box of wheelin components, I'll save my cable when I need to hook up & pull &#34;other&#34; people out
All you an expect from an Smittybilt product, not the big thing, it works for recovery but don't push it too hard construction material is cheap.
I got this for less than half price under the "used" condition. The only thing wrong was the packaging was damaged. Big deal. This thing looks new for less than half the price of retail. Very heavy and feels/looks to be well built. I'll find out how good it is when I have to use it.
I used this snatch block the first time I had it in my truck.  I used it with my tree saver to pull a tractor and bush hog out of a mud hole in a deer plot.  Very sturdy and easy to use.
Although this item is made in China, which doesn't surprise me, it appears to be well made and it's very heavy duty (heavy). I have not had the opportunity to use this yet but am confident it will perform as advertised!
Great snatch block! I would not use it with synthetic rope though. It has plenty of reserve capacity for what I am using it for.
Have yet to use this but it seems well made.  I purchased this along with Smittybilt D-ring shackles and a tree saver and really like the quality.
Arrived promptly as promised. Seems to be OK. Just getting tired of everything coming from CHINA. I think that country of origin should be required in the description.
Very well made and has a grease zerk too.  I find the snatch block absolutely necessary for proper vehicle retrieval whenever I can't get a straight-line pull on it.  Used it with the Maasdam Pow'R Pull 8000SB 4-Ton Cable Puller, and it makes winching a breeze.
bigger than I expected. quality built block. I have used twice and it works perfectly. will be buying a second soon.
This guy is strong and huge, so it may be a bit too large for ATVs, but probably be used for UTVs, I have a large Ranger UTV and this is more than enough for my needs. Ignore the pix in the Amazon display, this only comes with the snatch block as accurately represented in the product description. The picture scale must be off, because this thing is almost big enough that you can fit your hand through the loop. In the pix the whole assembly gives you the illusion that the whole unit is no bigger than the average hand. Unless storage space is a problem, this unit is big enough for any non-commercial application. I am confident to use it with my 8,000 lb truck.
This is a large and heavy snatch block, and seems to be well built.  I especially like the grease fitting, which makes sense.  Not being much of a winch or tackle guy, I asked several questions in regards and received many answers, and I appreciated the help.  I need at least one, if not two more which I'll buy later.  As usual, Amazon.Com delivered the item on time, and their Website always works!
Seems very well made for the price. I have not had a chance to use it yet but am really pleased with the construction... even if it is made in China :(
I have had a winch for about 2 months, and since day one i have been comparing different snatch blocks. The one from the brand of my winch was horrible looking, half the size of this one and just overall wrong. I have a couple other smittybilt products and figured for the price i would give it a try. Best choice i have made in a long time. Heavy steel plate with a large pivot point and a grease zerk to let the pully spin free and easy. The packaging it came in was a bit destroyed but that happens in shipping, and for something this heavy that is made to stand up to huge loads in some of the worst conditions, it can take any shipping abuse you can throw at it. I am going to buy at least one more.
This is the second Smittybilt Snatch block I bought, the other came with Winch accessory kit (Smittybilt), well built and should last for years. I got another one after I watched YouTube video on reverse winching technique, nice to know I can winch forward or reverse, be prepared is my motto.
Works great and seems well built. I will buy again if needed be. I'm using it with my 2011 Yamaha grizzly 700
So far, works great but I have not yet gotten close to weight limitations for this item. This is rated &#34;up to 17,600 lbs.&#34; and the largest item I've used it with was around 5,000 lbs. That amount may have been increased due to resistance from being pulled from a ditch, items inside the vehicle (unknown) and foliage being pulled through. Even if that added another 2,000 lbs (number tossed in for good measure), it still isn't a good test of the item.That being said, I would buy the item again, without hesitation. The pulley spooled freely and did not get hot from friction during usage. Fact is, my winch is rated for 12,000 lbs., so I'll never have a &#34;full test&#34; of capability. I'm left with plenty of margin for safety.
Excellent snatch block for self recovery or having to pull another truck from an angle. Appears to be extremely heavy duty, fortunately I haven't had to use it yet, very happy to have it on board, just in case.
It truly is well made, with a nice finish.  The cost had me worried about quality. After comparing this to other products in the same or similar capacity, I bought it.  I've now used it three times without any issue whatsoever.  Very well made and I would recommend.
I have 2 of these. It's GREAT it comes with a grease zerk, however, neither of the 2 I purchased has a drop of grease in them. GREASE IT BEFORE YOU USE IT! Not sure why they didn't lube, but still a great snatch block. I do use it with a 3/8 synthetic line, I just filed any burrs then sanded the pulley. Just remove a c-clip and take the pulley out, much easier.
I did lots of looking before buying this one. Main reason I decided on this one was that fact that it has the grease fitting on it and the weight rating. I have not had a chance to use it yet, but I don't think I will have any issues with it... ever.
This thing is brand new and saved me lots of money. Great heavy duty snatch block to help get you unstuck or double your winch pulling strength.
Surprised it was Chinese.  Hoped it would be made in the U.S.  Looks like it will work out fine otherwise.
The tailgate cover fit well and looks really nice. I am very happy with the finished product.  Would definitely reccomend.
Another awesome storage piece for Jeepers! Strong, sturdy, easy working Molle bags. Use it for holding recovery gear and first aid kit. Have bought two more small molle bags to add to the kit, plenty of room for them on the system. If there is anything negative about the piece it would be that there was no accommodation cut into the hanger for the tailgate swingarm.
Installed this onto my 2012 JKU...super easy...but go and get better screws..I did and put ruber washer between the cover and the tailgate as well....easy install just remember that you will have to take off the swing arm off to install then put it back after (skip the screw that is by that...no need to do it)
Installs easy, but I did not use the cheap screws that came with the kit. I got heavy grade screws and it works way better. Looks good when done. The big pouch will hold a couple of 20 foot straps. The smaller one can hold small stuff like air gage and chuck, flash lights and thing like that easy.
On a 2014 JK, I had to cut 2 small holes for the door arm.  Definitely drill pilot holes like the other poster said. The screws are cheap and will not go through steel.  Start on one side (passenger side!) and make sure you pull it tight (second set of hands maybe) as you screw it in. I left an annoying gap between 2 screws.Look up how to properly weave molle to keep it snug too.  I've been tucking the small bag inside the large one and just leave the big one secure.
The tailgate cover is well made.  Others have suggested using larger self-tapping screws but I did not see that this was necessary.  It sits a little low which is not a problem in itself. But the plastic cargo mat with a two inch lip along the back came in contact with the bag and was folded back.  I trimmed the lip off of the cargo mat since I did not see that it provided any real benefit.
this is a great product, adds looks and storage, easy to install, yes you have to drill and you need to use a titanium drill bit for holes put the screws it came with are fine to use.
A lot of storage and easy to install. I followed their instructions and did not use a larger size drill bit like some others did.  I would drill the primer hole and then put the screw in by hand for a tight fit had no problems at all.
The product I received was different from the photo on-line.  Even different from the photo on the product box.  I sent it back to be replaced, and I got the same, wrong product.  I'm sure I could have made it work, but I don't like buying one item, and getting shipped something else, twice.
I bought this fair lead to use with the Smittybuilt synthetic winch rope I bought. This nicely made and finished and will work well I'm sure. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is a little too small to completely cover the hole in my bumper where this mounts. My original fair lead was also a Hawse type but steel (or cast) and it was somewhat larger and did a better job of covering the hole in the bumper.Also this item, as with the winch rope, is made in China. Like I said the finish is very nice so being made in China isn't an indication of poor quality but I thought I would note it anyway. If that is something you take into consideration now you know. I know finding that out many times can be very difficult.
Installed on a TrailGear front bumper on my Tacoma with a Winch from Harbor Freight.  Works just fine, no complaints.  Good fit.
I am totally pleased, with the quality, workmanship, finish, and of course the price. I have no idea why anyone would pay 2x or 3x more, because this fairlead is everything you need for a synthetic rope.There are some EXTREMELY slight, very fine pits (like a pin-prick) which have been smoothed by the final buffing. Other than that, the pass-through finish is perfect, and will provide a slick, smooth, well-radiused surface for the rope.Also, a pair of stainless steel socket-head bolts is included. A nice touch.
Nothing really special about it. I need a hawse fairlead and it fit the bill. Couldn't beat the price for what I needed.
I threw this on my Superwinch LP8500. I swapped to synthetic rope and have used it for a while now. It is starting to pit a little but is holding up well. Can't go wrong with anything made by Smittybilt.
fits the Porter Cable perfect
Works good.
Worked just as was described. Great product that applied pressure evenly.Easy to change the pads back and forth.Great price for this product.
The original pad that came with my Porter-Cable 7424XP 6-Inch Variable-Speed Polisher fell apart on day 1 - this backing pad and Meguiar's 6.5-Inch pads makes detailing a snap.
It is exactly what I expected. Reasonable construction. The only thing is that for polishing a car, I would go to a larger pad in the future. This is probably a good choice if you have a lot of curves or contours as the pad &#34;wraps&#34; around the edges a little letting you work it on uneven surfaces.
I bought this to replace the backing pad on my HF DA polisher. I found this pad contours better than the standard backing plate.
The Astro Pneumatic 4607 (5&#34;) PU Velcro Backing Pad...Verified and Perfect item for my Dual-Action Porter Cable Polisher (7424XP).Verified and Perfect fit for my Chemical Guy's (8pc) 5.5&#34; Hex-Logic Foam Pads.Although it did confuse me (at first and prior to my purchase) and when I saw avideo discussing the necessary (Porter Cable) counter-weight replacement forand when your using either a: 6&#34;-inch, 5&#34;-inch, or when using a 8&#34;-inch backingplate & pads... it basically discussed the possibility of wearing out the motor ifyou don't use the proper-type of counter-weight and the total weight for the sizeof the backing plate & pad type. My PC 7424XP had a 6-inch counter-weight....I think the (original) PC 7424 comes w/ a 5&#34; counter-weight. ...Hence the videomentioning the necessary replacement (upgrade) to a 6-inch counterweight . . .and &#34;IF&#34; you plan to use an 8&#34; backing plate for those who own the 7424 model.
Great price and very well made product. The velcro holds the polishing pads on very well. I am very satisfied with this product
Works great with Porter Cable DA sander/buffer and Meguiar's 6.5" pads. I applied compound and wax and the Meguiar's pads stuck very well, even when they were wet after cleaning them. I kept the plastic package to store this backing pad in because I don't want to damaging it when storing my buffer. Also, the Porter Cable wrench fits perfectly in the plastic package so you don't forget it when attaching this to your buffer. There were some plastic washers included but I didn't use them.
I bought this to replace the factory backing plate of my HF DA polisher.  It is about 1/2&#34; smaller, but is lighter and well balanced.  It removed alot of the vibration the DA had with the factory supplied plate.
Very helpful in doing smaller areas around the back of vehicles and on boats where smaller sizes are required. Easy to use and easy to swap out with regular 6.5 inch backing plate.
I bought a HF DA polisher and needed a 5&#34; backing plate.  This one is perfect AND significantly cheaper than the other brands.  Works just as good too.
Worked well with my Harbor Freight DA polisher. It's an excellent upgrade for that tool and I highly recommend it.
I bought this product to use with my 6" Griot's ROP. The plate fits and works perfect. This allows me to use pads from 5.5" up to 6.5". 5.5" pads are a lot cheaper and are easier for me to use with better results.  The plate also came with three washers.  Theses are usually about $1 apiece. I feel this plate is a  great product and a great buy. I highly recommend it for either a Griot's or Porter Cable ROP for anyone wanting to use 5.5" - 6.5" pads.  It makes my Griot's polisher much more usable as I can use not only Griot's pads but also almost any other pad I choose
works as intended on a hf da polisher and seems to be good quality. has a good amount of flew  and works with chemical guys and meguiars pads very well.
I purchased this backing plate to use with a porter cable 7424XP polisher and i must say its great. Would purchase another if i needed a backing plate but this one seems like it is well made and will last.
I got this to replace the original pad that comes with the harbor freight DA orbital buffer as that one is too big to fit their own foam pads. This is just what I needed to keep from chewing up the back of the HF foam pads.
I've purchased a few of these over the years for different cars.  Have never had one die (they out-last the chargers), and all the correct polarity, easy fit, etc.These are about the most convenient accessory to charge your vehicle with a Battery Tender brand battery charger IF you have an always-hot (on) cigarette lighter socket somewhere in your car.  If you have them switched on/off with the ignition, this obviously won't work.Note that mine have always come with a straight cord (not coiled as in the picture).  I'm glad because I like it straight -- just a simple accessory that has worked great for me multiple times for many years.
I use this to run my yellow light on my ATV when I'm plowing my drive way and need to go into the street. Plugs right into the pig tail on the back of my ATV.
The adapter doesn't establish a connection with the charging system in my BMW. The Tender Jr works well when attached directly to the battery but I can't get this convenient cig lighter adapter to work.
I bought this cigarette lighter adapter so I could plug my Deltran trickle charger into my car without having to raise the hood every time. The first time I plugged it in the light on the charger lit up and I thought all was well. Later I noticed the light was out so I checked to see if my lighter socket still worked with my GPS and other devices and it does not. I checked the fuses and it is not a fuse. It ruined the lighter socket. I have not had it fixed yet because the radio surround must be removed to get to it.
Sadly I had a lock out ignition for the use  I planned on .  Use it on my boat battery now works great .
Some people don't seem to understand that not all outlets in your car are &#34;on&#34; when the car is turned &#34;off&#34;.  This will only work if your outlet stays on when the key is turned off and removed, or if you leave the key in and the switch to the on position.  To check this just plug something into you outlet, and take the key out of the ignition.  If it continues to draw power you're good to go and you can plug this in and not worry about it.  If the outlet shuts off you need to leave the key in the on position for this to work and that may not be preferable depending on where your vehicle is and if it is secured in a garage or sitting in a drive way where someone could jump in, turn the key, and drive off.If your car doesn't have powered outlets when the key is removed it is not the fault of this product that it isn't working when you take your keys out.We use this to charge my car while I'm away and it is very easy.  Unfortunately they battery terminals aren't compatible with the type that connects there but this lets my wife plug this in and not have to worry about anything.  My Camaro outlets are on all the time, whether the keys are in the ignition or not though.(I don't have any stock in Deltran or this product, I just don't like silly complaints by people that don't know what they are really complaining about.)
I use this with a battery tender to keep my old car charged up. As most everyone knows, most modern car power outlets and cigarette lighters are not &#34;hot&#34; when the ignition switch is off, and this way of maintaining a battery charge won't work for them.  But if you have an older car with a lighter that works with the switch off, this plug is for you.
Love it.  Makes it easy to trickle my battery!  Don't have to worry about opening hood and connecting to battery.
I ordered two, but the manufacturer only sent me one. Sent Amazon a note...the other one was sent w/n two days. Cool. Product is good and works fine. Beats using the alligator clips or screw on terminals.
I bought this adapter since it was much more convenient to charge my car from the cigarette lighter versus direct connections at the battery. It hooks up and works as advertised and I'm happy with the purchase...
Very strong and durable, quick-disconnect connection, I use it daily with satisfactory results, excellent choice to lead the field, the beach or the mountains to supply electrical energy to my computers that have this connector (SAE)(Muy fuerte y resistente, rapida coneccion-desconecci&oacute;n, lo utilizo a diario con resultados satisfactorios, excelente opcion para llevar al campo, la playa o la monta&ntilde;a para suministrar energia a mis equipos electricos que poseen este conector (SAE))
Great accessory for the charger, it makes the process very quick to change vehicles without having to even pop the hood.
Perfect fit for my Schumacher battery maintainer and allows me to use the cigarette lighter plug to charge my battery without installing clips or rings under the hood.  Ideal accessory.
I pull my pleasure vehicle into my garage, I pull the cigarette lighter adapter in through my window, and plug it in.  No more leaving the hood open a bit.  No worries about wiring in the permanent adapter.
Pretty simple response as this adapter does what it is supposed to do. I own a Porsche and purchased a Porsche trickle charger for it at a high cost...the &#34;battery tender&#34;  products I purchased for my lawnmower and other car do the same job and less than 1/2 theprice of the Porsche tender...and yes, Porsche (Por-scha) is a two syllable word.
I use it for my quad to hook up my Deltran battery maintainer so I don't have to constantly remove the seat and hook up terminal clamps, I installed a cigarette lighter plug wired directly to the battery with a fuse for safety then just plug it it and never worry about a dead battery after it sits for a long time
I added a multi port cigarette addapter and plug this addaipter to it. Can be used for many applications. Thanks
This is a well-made product and it connects to my battery trickle-charger. Unfortunately it is useless for my vehicles (Honda and Toyota) since you have to leave the ignition on in order to open the cigarette lighter circuit. For maintaining a long-term trickle charge, this makes no sense. If you own a vehicle (and I have had older cars that worked like this) that allows the lighter circuit to work while the car is off, then the adapter would be a great convenience over popping the hood and attaching leads directly to the battery.
Exact duplicate of the adapter that came with the unit.  We made and long enough and a nice fit in the Cigarette/power out let in the vehicle.  Replaced the original unit that died when I ran over it with the vehicle.  Oops!
This adapter makes the battery tender even easier to use.i gave one to my mother to use on her car when she goes to Florida for the winter. I wasn't able to hook it up for her before she left, but she was able to do it herself because of this adapter. i wouldn't want her opening up the hood to attach directly to the battery cables.
Comes in handy when we have the ATV's &#34;up north&#34; and away from home (where our batter tenders are located). When the ATV barreries get low on charge we drive them right next to the car and use a 12' extension with clips on the ends to charge 'em up. the batteries--does a great job,  No 110V where we go so bringing the barttery tenders along would do no go (plus the fact they would be a little bulky.On occasion we use this with the battery clips to charge 1 ATV from the other. Saved our butts more than once.
This item is great because I now only need to plug in on my Victory Motorcycle to keep my battery charged when I'm not riding in the winter.
does exactly what it says and the build is good quality. I may order a few more of these, handy!
well made, high quality product. Cheap price with free shipping made this almost giveaway. Getting some puzzled looks, and chuckles with it on my truck.
Call to duty fan, just my way of having fun and to start a conversation with others for the love of all games with zombies.
What can really be said? It's a sticker.... It looks good on my car? It hasn't come off? I get lots of compliments?AMAZING!!!!! HOW HAVE I LIVED WITHOUT THIS PRODUCT IN MY LIFE?!??!?!?!Better? lol
I love this on my truck. The boys at the range like it to, so what more can you ask for?
When the apocalypse comes, others will feel more safe around you knowing that you are an official member of the response team. That may buy you precious seconds when it comes to determining who is friend or foe. Remember, it's not just the zombies you have to look out for, it's the people!
goes on the outside of the window. goes on easy enough. looks good. large and easy to read. good price.
Great quality and looks awesome! Bought it quite a while back and it still looks brand new, and that's on a farm truck to boot!
I received this decal along with 4 other (various) decals to put on my motorcycle and car. Out of all of them this was by far the best quality. All pieces of the sticker stayed in place when I removed the top layer, unlike the other stickers I purchased which I had to be extremely slow when removing. I will be buying from this seller again.
Sticker matches pictures, quality is high, not fuzzy. Has double stick application so easy to apply. Would recommend to a anyone
I got this to match my white F150, im going to put this on the rear window of my camper shell. The logo looks good and came in a size that i like. The only thing i didnt like is that is came in a small envelope and was folded a bit to fit which lifted the plastic a bit. Other than that the logo is awesome.
which made me think there was poor quality control at the factory (since the rod was too thick to have been bent from normal handling), but the slight bend did not affect me being able to install it.  It should be adequate although the tank was winterized when I installed the anode so I don't know how it will work as far as leaks once it is filled with water in the spring.  Will this update this  review  if there is a problem
Amazon supplied an exact fit replacement, for my RV water heater. The anode rod that is part of the water heater plug had broken [by intended corrosion] before it had been entirely consumed. this new one fit perfectly.
For a maintenance task that is fairly simple but important in extending the life of a water heater, this is an item that does what it is supposed to.  Even though water heaters in RVs are not that expensive compared to most appliances, it can be expensive and time consuming to replace them.An anode rod is designed to be eaten up over time (keeping the steel tank from getting corroded), so replacing this on a yearly basis is a wise idea.Don't forget -- it is crucial to use Teflon tape (wrapped at least twice around the threads), (or a pipe dope that is suitable for potable water applications) on the threads before screwing it in.  If this isn't done, there is a good chance it will electrically weld itself to the tank, requiring a complete water heater replacement later on.Recommended stuff to have on hand for the replacement:  Teflon tape, a 1 and 1/16" socket, a fairly long ratchet arm (because the threads can corrode making it hard to get it loosened), and a six inch socket wrench extender.Why choose this over the competition?  Two reasons.  First, it is US made, and the second, it is made by the same people who made the water heater.  This doesn't mean other brands are deficient in any way (The Camco model has a built in drain which helps a lot with winterizing.)  It is more of peace of mind that one knows this will do the job.
I install a new anode rod in the water heater every spring.  It lasts for the year.  Easy to remove and install.  A must to keep your water heater protected from harmful elements in water.
I purchased several of these for my TT.  When I purchased them the price was much lower.  Glad I bought when I did.
This is a good, reliable replacement for the original Aluminum Anode Rod in the Suburban Water Heater in our 5th Wheel.
replaced my old worn rod with this one. my life partner says it's much better than the old one, smoother and seems to have better staying power. hail the rod!
For RV owners with aluminum water heaters it is essential to make sure that they always have sufficient reserve on the anode, and replace when it has corroded about 75% of its original size, otherwise the body of the water heater will corrode from the hot water. Certainly this is the cheapest and easiest way to prevent that from happening. Replacement is dependent upon usage. When not camping, remove the anode and drain the tank, and it'll last longer. Keep an extra on hand always.
Luckily I purchased this in time to replace the one in my water tank.  My original item was over 90% corroded away.  Great product at a great price, it arrived exactly on time in the condition it was described.  I will do business with this merchant in the future.
The OXO Good Grips Extendable Twister Snowbrush is a compact 23 inches that extends to 33.  It took some doing to get my snowbrush to extend today, and when I did, I found it locks in 3 extended positions.  There are holes in the inner pipe of the handle to lock it in place.  The brush head swivels easily and locks into place.It worked well for brushing off the back window of my Jeep Grand Cherokee.  It worked fine for brushing off the windshield, with a little leaning and reaching for me to get the center.  I'm short and I drive a big Jeep.  That's kind of a too-bad combination with this snowbrush, as getting the snow off the whole roof with this is out of the question.I'm both sorry and not sorry I didn't get to use the ice-scraper to try this baby out.  The blade seems to be well-made and as though it would scrape well- it's pretty standard-issue.  On the whole, from as far as I can tell, this snowbrush is well-made and easy to use.I'd give it five stars if it extended a bit more, but if you're driving a small car, this snowbrush would be a nice, compact ticket to haul around in the winter without cramping your style!
OK why do I need an ice scraper in Texas? Truth is I don't need it very often but when I do it's great to have this OXO Extendable Ice Scraper. The built in extender gives you almost another foot of handle and that is really handy on the large windshield that I have in the SUV. The ice scrapper is made of very strong materials and should last for year. To extend the handle an addition foot just hit the small button on the handle and pull out. There is also a large brush under the ice scraper and I find this really useful when there has been a light snow. That brush will rotate by pushing a button on the scraper and just rotating with your hand. This is an very good  ice scraper and brush that should last a long time.
This ice scraper and snow brush is very well made.  The handle is heavy duty, the extendable shaft is aluminum.  The brush swivels with the push of the button to a much more handy angle than the fixed brushes.  I have to say this is a very clever product.  My only complaint and it is minor is the buttons to push to extend it and to swivel the brush are fairly hard for me to push  - that is not that big of a deal.  And as someone else mentioned, it is heavy, but also heavy duty. This is a clever and very useful product.
This seems to be a well-made product. The fact that I can extend it is a "plus." I'm not very tall so this will help me reach the middle of the windshield.A negative side of the length and sturdiness of the device is that it is a bit heavy. Otherwise I'm happy with it.
This snow brush is great for versatility and when you have light to medium snow.  The brush changes from vertical to horizontal.  When it is vertical, you can quickly brush off light snow from the car and windows.  Then when you change it to horizontal, you can brush off larger amounts of snow, but not too much, otherwise this is not overly efficient compared to our other brushes.The button that allows you to change the direction of the brush locks well into place so there is not a problem of it changing around as you use it.  The trick to the button is that you have to press the top of it in- if I press in the center of the button, it does not always work and I get frustrated until I remember the key to using this.The ice scraper is quite narrow.  This makes it take quite some time to clear off an ice covered windshield.  Again, if there is just a light coating here and there, it is not a big deal, but if there is significant ice built up, it takes quite a bit longer than our other ice scrapers.The bristles are indeed very soft and do not cause any damage to glass or the car, so that is a great feature.  Handy to have on hand in the car, but if you are in an area that has consistently periods of heavy snow and/or ice, I would suggest having a larger capacity snow brush and scraper handy in case you need them.  This might frustrate you now and then otherwise.
I would not buy this scraper/brush to replace my gas station cheapie.  The scraper is not so sturdy, and while the brush head can be rotated, it's actually shorter than my cheapie.Also, it does not extend.  Wrong item?  I thought perhaps there was another on my newsletter, and I accidentally ordered it instead of the extendable brush.  But there was no other OXO snowbrush, and the item I'm to review is an extendable brush.  But mine isn't.  How I struggled trying to extend the grip from the handle, until I realized the way the handle is made it couldn't possibly extend!  And sure enough, that white button toward the end of the handle that you can see in the product picture is missing from my snowbrush.A mistake can be forgiven, and I've given favorable reviews when I've bought one item and received another - so long as form, fit, and function comply with the product description.  This does not.It's a good thing it has that nice, comfy OXO grip.  I need it for the extra time it takes to brush the snow off my car, and it earned this item two stars, rather than one.
Like most OXO products, this is very well made.  Yes, it is a bit heavier than a plastic brush but I don't think that limits it's usability.  The bristles are soft so you don't have to worry about scratching your paint and the extension feature is nice.  It would be nice if it got longer though.  It is barely long enough to span a small SUV and not long enough to clear the roof of a small SUV, especially for a woman or person of smaller stature.  The handle did not telescope easily out of the box but a squirt of silicone fixed that and it slides in and out easily now.  The button for twisting the head is difficult to press.  My wife has arthritis and she can't press it to swivel the head as there is too much spring tension.  This won't be a problem for most people but I wanted to make you all aware.  Overall, it is a very nice brush but if you have an SUV, it may not be long enough for you.
The OXO Good Grips Snowbrush is built like a tank, extends so far that even the largest windshield is likely to be entirely reachable from one side of the vehicle, and has a brush that can be twisted so the you can easily use it back and forth or up and down.  The only negative, and it is only a slight one, is that this snowbrush is one of the largest I've ever seen, even when the handle is fully retracted.  Although I have owned this only for a short time, it seems to be genuinely well constructed and sturdy enough to hold up heavy use.  Highly recommended (and let it snow)!
I have tried a number of different brushes and scrapers this past winter, and hands down, this one is my favorite.As you no doubt already know, the brush part rotates, so it can work like the brush/scraper combos you're used to, or you can use it more to push (or pull) the snow, at a 90-degree angle to the handle.Pros:1. Like probably every OXO product I own, this is well designed and sturdy.2. The rotating brush thing works well and seems like it will continue to work well for some time (e.g., it doesn't flop around, but stays in place).3. The handle telescopes for a better reach -- also a win!4. Very reasonable price.I have no cons. I just really like this thing. It is also the sort of thing that would make a good gift for a young driver or really just anyone in a snowy climate with a car. I have collected many automotive snow and ice removal implements over the years, but this is absolutely my favorite.
I don't know what everyone else is complaining about...this is the best snow brush I've ever used.  I love the fact that the brush can swivel and locks securely into place.  I prefer the perpendicular setting which effectively plows the snow from my Jeep Grand Cherokee's roof, windshield and hood.  The feathered bristles don't damage your car's surfaces but still penetrate heavy snow.  I didn't find the brush too heavy at all.  Actually I enjoyed it's slight heft, as it helped the brush penetrate deep, heavy snow.  Use it's weight, people, don't fight it.  The extendable feature really came in handy for reaching every part of my Jeep's roof.  I finally took it out of my SUV now that I'm enjoying a southern California winter.
I have a Toyota FJ Cruiser, which is a good bit taller than I am, so I need an extendable brush for the winter.  I had a different one that extended with a little rotatable lock but that was awkward and it ended up being too tall to get under the standard FJ roof rack.This one extends more obviously with a button that lets you pull the handle out and it's just short enough that I can push it under the roof rack which is a big help for getting the snow off.  It's plastic whereas the last one I had was metal but so-far-so-good.  We only had a few light snows this winter so I've only used it a few times but I had no trouble with it.  This one replaced my old extendable scraper/brush.
Don't have much to add except to echo comments already made by others.  It is perfect for removing light fluffy snow.  Yes, the extendable handle could be longer, but I also have another type of SUV brush that can handle that task.  This brush is perfect if you drive a small to intermediate size vehicle like a Corolla, Civic, Sentra or Elantra.I bought mine off of Amazon without realizing they sold these at my local Bed, Bath and Beyond and could have gotten it cheaper with the use of a 20% coupon.  Then again, I have an aversion to shopping in malls and stores so the price was fair and worth it.  I imagine it will hold up just fine, but I imagine it might be a challenge to remove heavier, wet snow.  An alternative brush with stiffer bristles like the other one I have may work better.  Construction appears to be solid and built well.EDIT 2/4/14:  Tried using it on more wet, heavier snow today after a snow storm dumped 4 inches.  As anticipated, the wetter snow caused the bristles to become heavy and clogged a bit.  If you are going to store it in your car after removing this type of snow, it will cause quite a wet mess.  Bang off or brush against your car tire to minimize the melt off.  The brush still did its job, but once the bristles are heavy and wet it starts to get a bit more challenging.  I still give it 4 stars, just be aware that this will happen.
This is a beast of a ice scraper and snow sweeper. While I only have to use it a few times each year in Tennessee I believe this monster would be fully capable of handling Northern winters with its durability and size. Using this thing is like doubling the reach of your arm I would suspect people with big trucks would need the size just to get to every where they need to clear. The brush rotates so you can angle it the way you need it as you clear your car off. It has a very thick and strong polycarbonate scraper that I suspect will not break like the other cheap plastic scrapers I have used in the past. It has a great grip and feels more like a tool than a just another ice scraper. I believe this thing will last me a very long time, thumbs up to this product.
OXO Good Grips Extendable Twister SnowbrushOk, if you would have told me I would spend $20.00 for a car snow brush, I would have thought you were nuts.  They used to give the darn things away which probably dates me more than I want to admit.  This is by far the nicest snow brush I have ever owned.This brush has a hefty, well built feel to it.  The telescoping feature allows you to reach the middle of the widest SUV windshield.  Hmm, well I am 6'2 so maybe it won't enable everyone to reach the middle of the windshield but most people.It has a swivel brush head to allow you to pull snow back rather than sweep it down.  The brush isn't a wimpy softy type brush but a rather stiff strong brush.  In addition this thing would deter most muggers, it is that sturdy!I think this is a very good snowbrush.
I bought this for my 75 year old aunt who owns a 1994 dodge shadow, and those cars are really small what I would consider a compact car, so to be on the safe side I ordered her a mid-size cover thinking that it would have some extra room but this cover fits very tight. So if I had ordered her the compact which is what her car calls for it would have not fit. Someone at this company needs to make the necessary adjustments pertaining to their sizes because this is actually the cover for a compact car not a mid-size sedan.
I bought it for my Acura rsx hatchback to keep it covered while in vacations but found out that the cover does not cover the whole car it only fits up to just above the tires. But at least it covered  most of the car so I was not totally disappointed and protects the car.
I purchased this cover for last December for my 2007 Chrysler 300C. I used it to cover my car in the garage just to keep off the dust and dirt. I just finished putting it on for a second season and it's still in perfect condition. It fits perfectly and is very easy to install. The elastic band is still in good shape and holds the cover very securely without the need to tie it down. It does come with eye holes for the purpose which I don't use, that I'm sure would be useful if used outdoors. I put a blanket over the hood just for a little more protection from something being dropped, but it's plenty thick to prevent minor scratches and scuffs.Like I said I use it inside so I can't speak to how it would repel water but frankly I'd probably buy a more expensive cover if I were keeping it outdoors.For the price this cover works very well and I can recommend it highly if your using it under the same conditions.
Size is just right for our Nissan Sentra..... Very easy to put over the top and reaches all around, just as easy to take off . . .
The tie-down holes for the rope are in the completely wrong place--they are mounted near the front mirrors, as opposed to being in the middle of the car.  The rope they give is entirely too short, and frustrating--by the time you reach the hole from underside the car, the hole you initially put the rope through has fell out.The worst part?  The elasticized bottom hem isn't even the whole way around, but only on the front and rear of vehicle.  A true, quality car cover would have the elasticized bottom hem everywhere around the car.Definitely regret this purchase.
I purchased this full size cover  for my 2014 Accord. I have put the Accord in the garage for the summer while I use my summer car. This cover is a real basic cover for garage use only. It serves to keep my new car clean in garage. I think for the money it would be hard to find a better one for the money, if you want a inexpensive garage type cover only for your car this does the job fine!
Nicely made product. Works just as it should. Gives you the ability to test your trailer light wiring coming from your tow vehicle and going to your trailer. Very happy with it and for under $10 it is well worth it. I'd recommend this product without hesitation.
Boy, when was the last time you had to ensure your trailer lights were working OK? With is inline you can check all the functions quickly and you can leave it connected. That way you will always have a quick glance at your wiring to ensure it is all working good.
This tester takes the guess work out of circuit problems on the four pin connection. I highly recommend this tester.
Works like it is listed.  Very nice way to eaisly test and know your safe togo when using a trailer...
works perfectly, and worth the extra dollar to get a 2-sided tester, so basically I leave it hooked up and capped. Well made, and does the job!
Works just as it should.  The cover/cap is a bit awkward to install and fits very snugly.  It's good that it shows both open and short circuits.
I have another trailer light tester, but this one adds another feature. After testing the tow vehicle wiring, you can plug in the trailer and detect if any of the lights have a short. It the proper light comes on when before you plug in the trailer, but goes out, or the wrong light on the trailer lights, you know the problem is in the trailer wiring. It quickly settles arguments about where the wiring problem is! :-)
So the installation on these was like many of the other reviews. The drill holes did not match necessarily.The installation was done with 2 people and made things a lot easier.Other than having to twerk the holes a little they fit perfect on a 4 door wrangler unlimited.They are very sturdy and look really good. It was a great addition.As for functionality - it gives a good step when getting on to the Jeep. And also protects a from getting a lot of mud as well as rocks on the body of the Jeep. Does make for some extra heavy duty cleaning after a long mudding adventure.Would recommend getting this on a lifted Jeep. When we first installed it was a stock height and made the Jeep look a little over worked on. Once we put the Lift 2.75 it looked a lot better.
Well priced, with Prime add in free shipping, you can't find a better deal.  They look awesome on the Jeep and are strong enough to take the abuse.  Installation was a snap, I'm no mechanic and do not have a shop full of tools yet I had them both on in about 30 minutes.  Couldn't be happier with them, not to mention my girlfriend loves finally having a step to get into my Jeep with.  You just can't go wrong with these.
I have had these on for about a year now. i had all of the same install issues. I had to &#34;move&#34;  a few holes to make them line up right, but I had no problem with that  becuase I really like these.Super heavy duty and they look great!  I can attest to the ruggedness also, as I have bounced off of a few trees with these on.  Saved me many times.If you have a grinder handy, go for it!  You will love them.Side Note: It appears that the 2 doors bars require less modification that the 4 door version.
The mounting holes didn't line up. I had to grind them out bigger to get them to mount. I think they look good and would be ok on a daily driver/weekend warrior type of rig.
First of all MADE IN CHINA.  You do have to do a little bending banging and even trim your body mount washer a little to install these bars but I expected that from other reviews.  How ever the fact that smittybilt does not seem to give a hoot that the product in not just as simple as bolt on due to the way they built it kind of bothers me I will be going with the Body armor brand for the tube bumpers and doors I just like the step pads for these,  They look great not sure how long the coating will last seems a little cheap.
Installation was relatively easy with 2 people.  I had to elongate one hole in order for driver side to fit.  Passenger side mounted perfectly.
The idea, while great, is not the greatest in execution because the manufacturer has chosen to only make the tape 3/8 inch wide.  When you bend this in half to fit your door edge, it really doesn't leave much to work with...less than 2/16 inch on each side.  Add to that the thickness of the door edge and there is even less.  It amazes me how companies try to save a few fractions of a penny to increase their bottom line, and leave it to the consumer to fend for themselves, in this case, to install this to look nicely, while not having much to grab onto.  I only did about 8 inches of my door edge, where my door would make first contact.  It's clear, so that's good and my tape is nearly invisible.  But good luck trying to tape this down your entire door frame without messing up because it's not wide enough.
Dealer had a charge of $80 for this item installed, I am so glad Amazon is around to help us save monies from those that "rip" us off....
The material appears similar to the factory installed door edge guard on my acura.  It's very easy to install the film on the door edges, you can even go the manufacturers website to view installation instructions.  Like a previous commenter mentioned, put some tension on the film as you are installing it to prevent any bubbles in the film.  Otherwise, great door edge trim that is barely detectableUPDATE - 06-28-2011Added the door edge guard to the bottom lip of my outrigger canoe paddle for added protection from coral heads and being scuffed up lying inside a canoe.  Has held up for 2 weeks worth of practice.
At first I was not sure if it could do the job: it looks so much thicker on the picture, and actual tape you get is very thin. But it worked amazing! I have a silver car, and I can't see it on my doors. Totally love it, highly recommend!Update: Since that review I have had a blue car (bright blue) and it was not really visible on the blue color either.
The film is a little thinner than I would normally like.  Goes on well.  Price is OK.
Every time I buy a new car, I buy paint protection immediately.  My new cars are scratch magnets for some reason.  I had installed protection film on my bumpers(Enddings), door edges and headlights. I installed these last, so I had so much practice before installing it.Instructions are very simple and the video is helpful.  So I did all the prep work and proceeded to spray and install the film.  My first comment is, this is very sticky.  Once you press down, it will not move anymore.  Which gave me problems with removing bubbles.  Once I pushed the solution out with a squeegee, I could not remove many bubbles anymore.  I had to get a pin and prick it.But all in all, it does do its job.  It will stay in place forever by the looks of it.
This thing is just very handy when it comes to pin protection. I am very pleased with the way it applied - very easy installation. I am pleased how well it stays on, and it works perfectly!
Xpel R3022 60" x 2.75" Clear Universal Door Sill Guard Paint Protection Film KitIncluded picture of bottom of 3rd door on extended cab truck, bought 2 more packages to do both door bottoms and rockers. Will add more pictures as soon as I get it all installed.I love this stuff, Works great. Will be doing my 1969 Chevy Truck as well.EXCELLENT PRODUCT.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Buy with confidence.RagenRat
Bought these for our black truck.  Covered the door edges and door sills.  You should see the abuse they have taken already.  SO glad I did this and they are barely noticable which is great for dark paint.
It's thinner than I had expected.  Only time will tell how it would hold up to my abuse.Btw, I used solution from a tinting kit to put it on, and it worked fine.  It takes A LOT of time and PATIENCE to get it to stick to the edge (curve) of the door sill.
Bought this oil for an oil change in a VW TDI. It meets or exceeds VW 507.00 specification and does it for less money than many imported brands shipped to your door. I bought this in conjunction with a Mann filter and a set of drain plugs and comes in $10.00 cheaper than anywhere else.Mobil 1 105856-CASE M 5W-40 ESP Formula Motor Oil - 1 Quart, (Pack of 6)
Since the first SAE number refers to cold viscosity ("W"inter), it meets the VW spec on cold viscosity same as the ESP 5W-30 (VW certified oil).  The second number refers to hot viscosity tested at 210F/100C degrees.  Unfortunately, the SAE standard itself is not precise due to the variance range it allows.  While other brands may have significant variance from 30 to 40, these two products do not.  Mobile 1 data says the 30 has a low sheer viscosity of 12.1 cSt, while the 40 has 13.4 cSt (11% difference).  In my opinion, the 30 is actually worse for the engine and this is why: The newer HTHS (High Temperature High Sheer) test is performed at 302F/150C degrees.  Turbocharged engines in their high stress/pressure areas can approach these temperatures.  The 30 tested at 3.58 mPa*s and the 40 at 3.8 mPa*s (a higher number equals better engine wear protection).  The trade off is that it slightly lowers fuel efficiency and this is why most manufacturers are lowering their viscosity recommendations.  They have government agencies pressuring them to increase fuel efficiency but we the owners are losing engine longevity similar to what ethanol is doing.  If this oil was harmful to common rail diesels, Mercedes would not be recommending it.  Instead, Mercedes is putting its customer's engine longevity before minor mpg gains (basically telling the EPA to take a hike).
This is the oil specified for use by Mercedes Benz in Sprinter vans (at least the 2013) and as with all Mobil 1 oils, it is an excellent product. I'll be honest and say that I have not done scientific laboratory analysis on this or any Mobil 1 oil, but anecdotal experience tells me it's really hard to go wrong with Mobil 1 oils.
Best price I could find.  Timely delivery. Does the job for my 2008 ML320 CDI.  Change my own oil - a whole lot cheaper than the dealership.  And, most importantly, I know the right oil was used.  Very easy to change the oil with one of the inexpensive dipstick vacuum pumps.
Without getting too technical, this isn't the 507 spec that VW/Skoda/Audi/Seat call for. The M in the name and on the label means it's for Mercedes. I didn't see that until I ordered it. I will keep it and sell it to a Mercedes owner hopefully. It should be more easy to pick the right oil for cars via Amazon AND via the oil and car companies.
Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5w40 is a quality product.  This is a synthetic motor oil with a low SAPS formula, to protect the emissions systems of today's complex diesel vehicles.  Specifically, this oil is for use in today's DIESEL powered Mercedes-Benz automobiles.It should be noted that many years ago for a short period, some dealers were putting this ESP product in gasoline cars.  However, MBUSA corrected that quickly.  This ESP product is for your diesel powered Mercedes-Benz requiring oil spec 229.51.Gasoline cars require Mercedes spec 229.5.  The spec numbers may look similar, but they are indeed different.The gasoline version has many more additives in it, to keep the oil suitable for long service intervals that Mercedes advises.  Those additives keep the acidic levels from engine combustion neutralized, so that your engine remains protected for your entire oil change interval.Now, for diesel powered Mercedes-Benz.  This ESP product will serve you nicely.There is also a non-ESP version of Formula M that some dealers use in gasoline cars, which is indeed approved. However, you will not see the gasoline application version of Formula M  for consumer retail commonly. Therefore, if you see a Formula M on a regular store's shelves, it likely this diesel, ESP formula for diesel vehicles.The easiest to find 229.5 spec Mercedes approved oil for gasoline powered cars is Mobil 1 0w40.This product shown above Formula M ESP is perfect for your diesel Mercedes-Benz requiring 229.51.Please keep this QUALITY product for use only in your diesel powered Mercedes.  It serves that application beautifully, indeed it is the same product the majority of Mercedes-Benz dealers use in diesel vehicles!  Recommended!
Mostly just need the clear and shaded but at $6 a pair it's nice to have the yellow ones as well. I'm currently here buying my 2nd set as my 1st set was lost so I figured I should put in a review as well
well worth the price!! 24$ very clear! i didnt expect to use the yellow ones but it really does make a difference in the failing light!!
These glasses are comfortable and they do look like proper riding glasses. I even use them when I play golf,drive at night and shooting.  Actually these are the best shooting glasses because there is absolutely no chance of shells flying in the air and going between your eyes and glasses.  All shooters will have had some experience with this.  Since these have padding around the lens that almost seals it around your eyes.  But there are many small gaps that allow air to come in to prevent fogging.  I use these all the time and I love them.
Positives:Look good, seem to be quality materials.Negatives:I wear an XL helmet, and these aren't big enough for me really. If you've ever worn sunglasses that aren't big enough, you'll know that they don't sit on my face well, they don't seal the air away, they jitter at speeds as little as 40 mph or so which makes seeing the road and hazards a bit difficult.  If you have a medium-sized head, these may work perfectly for you.
These are just what I was looking for - a set of cheap, lightweight glasses.  They're comfortable on my face and close-fitting with the foam padding around the frame.  Great for throwing in my side bags for any sort of weather conditions (rain, night, sun).
these came packaged great and they fit great on me.  They are a great buy for the money and will be a good accessory for my motorcycle rides.
Ok, to be fairly honest with you, what do you expect from $20 glasses?Many stores sell sunglasses like these for $20, only, you'll get one pair in the stores, and 3 pairs here!So for $20 you get 3 pairs of plastic sunglasses; all 3 of them are UV400 protection.They come with a foam padding for the eyes, and the foam has small openings so the eyes can still breathe.I have a sharp face, I'm only 160LBS, and the glasses touch my face at my nose. It's made for people with little more fat faces. However, I can always shave off some foam, in order to seal the glasses over my sockets.If I smile, my cheeks come upward, and kind of seal the glasses more (no opening between glasses and face), thus better for driving, and less wind coming under the glasses.But they're definitely better than my regular sunglasses!The transparent and yellow glasses somewhat look funny; the black ones look very normal and cool!
I have a 24" head, and these are entirely to small. They squeeze my temples.However, if I'm going to wear my 1/2 helmet, I'll have to suck it up and just wear the yellow ones for day/night, as the transitional lens goggles I bought from here are FAR worse.
I had bought two pair of foam backed glasses at the Harley dealer back in August.  They weren't Harley brand, but I still think I paid about $50-$60 for the pair.  I never even had a chance to wear them since my puppies got a hold of them and scratched the heck out of them while I was doing yard work.I have to say they are pretty decent glasses for $18 and the fact that they come in clear, yellow and tinted is awesome.  They are all UV protectant and are nicer than I expected.  They aren't as nice as my polarized Oakleys, but they are just as nice as many of the other non-polarized glasses I have owned in the past.P.S.  I keep the glasses with my motorcycle to prevent future puppy incidents!
I bought a few last hear but I broke one. So I wanted at least a yellow one back. I like them...better than regular glasses for riding.
Very satisfied with this product. The look/feel quality is much better than expected. Main reason it got 5 stars is because of the price. You can't beat this product for such a cheap price.
Extremely affordable all needs riding glasses. Exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend for others to purchase for any rider.
3 pair of riding glasses for less than $20! I really wondered what these would be like when I ordered them. I was pleasantly surprised. I had been wearing my Costas but they are now left in my truck when I go on my bike! Originally I just wanted the clear pair for night riding. But when I saw the quality, I wear them all the time while riding. I keep the amber and clear in my saddlebags and wear the smoke during the day. Nicely padded, tight fitting(on my big head) and I do not have to continually push them up the bridge of my nose while I am riding like I did with my regular sunglasses.
When I say narrow, I mean the height of the lens itself.  Other than tha they are a bargain for the motorcycle enthusiast.  I ride a touring bike but avoid interstate roads so unlike other reviewers I cannot comment on their performance at high speeds.  Up to 60 seems fine to me.  I wear contacts when riding and glasses with foam like these are necessary to keep my eyes from drying out.
Great glasses for the price. all fit well for a medium size head.  If you have a large head may not fit comfortly
3 Pair for the price I paid was welll worth the money. I havent used any or either of the pairs as of yet. Look forward to using. I just hope the stay on with the wind hitting them. 5 stars..AJL
I hate these glass's, they leak air around foam padding. Don't like the feel of them at all. I don't know what else to write in order to leave this comment....
Good fit and do what they are supposed to do. But they do cut off you peripheral vision a bit, but I am spoiled by my Oakleys . Will use these at night though
Various shades to ensure that I have them if I need them. Protected my eyes very well. I would certainly buy again.
I realize that these are advertised as being ventilated, but that actually does not keep wind/dirt (anything airborne) from getting in your eyes because as you can see, the inserted padding has many gaps for ventilation.  I realize there would probably be a fogging problem in colder weather if they weren't ventilated but it almost seems to me like the purpose of the glasses is defeated by the design.  Still, three pairs for that price works.  Comfy to wear; the yellow do help bring out details on the road/dirt.
I've had these in the truck now for over a year.  They are holding up well and doing the job.  When they get dirty I just pull them out and wash them down.  It's a good fit and finish product and I reccomend it.
This fit the truck very well. I live down near the shore and these are the ticket for the sand.
I read all the reviews and figured this purchase is a "no brainer" - well, I was the exception to the rule, I guess. To be fair - I own a Ford Flex and was sent mats for a Ford F-150. The mats seem like a nicely made product, but not for my vehicle. Didn't fit at all. Sent em back and paid half the price for mats that were specifically made for the vehicle.
I have been buying Husky Liner mats for all my new vehicles for years ... It allows me to store the OEM mats and keep them in new condition for the future when I trade the vehicle in and it keeps the carpet in the truck spotless.I love these things and have nothing negative to say about them. In fact I just put my 5 year old set from the Ram I just traded on craigslist and I got over half my original investment back selling them... Great Product!I just ordered the Husky Liner splash guards for my new FX2 as well. Going to get them painted to match the truck.
Husky Floor Liners front and rear for a 2013 F350 Crew cab.  Good heavy duty material, perfect fit, looks like if called upon to capture water, mud or just dirt build up off of boots there are more than capable of doing so.  I purchased these used from the Amazon Warehouse and saved a pretty good amount of money.  They looked like they had never been out of the box.
As a hitch pin, this is great.  It fit my hitch just fine.If you are using it to secure your hitch for a short period of time, this will be fine.The problem comes if you are one of those people that leaves their hitch on all the time.  I do this to prevent people from dinging me in the city, and, being in the city, I need to lock my hitch.The problem is that the lock will seize up with water and road grime, and it will be impossible to remove.  This happened to me, and I was prepared to spent hours under my truck with a grinding wheel.  As almost an aside, I started with a hack saw, and realized that the pin is very soft.  I was able to cut through half the pin in a couple minutes by hand with a dull hack saw.  Then, I took a hammer, whacked it one way until it bent, turned the pin around, whacked it the other way, and it broke off.So, good for me that it didn't turn into a curse fest.  But...it also made me realize that the lock will only keep honest people honest.  And, now I have to buy a new pin.
This is the best hitch lock I have ever used and I have had a bunch of them.Heavy, well finished and secure.
There are plenty of other coupler pin locks out there.  However, there are a few good reasons why this is worth purchasing:1:  It uses an Abloy disk tumbler mechanism.  This is quite pick-resistant, and completely immune to picking without specialized tools (which virtually no thief would have, and even then, it will take a while).  Other receiver locks (even by Reese) use mechanisms that can be picked open.2:  It is unobtrusive.3:  It is well made with the ball bearing locking style.Two notes:  On some trucks, the plug for the 7 pin/4 pin connector is fairly close on the left side, making it a bit difficult to insert the rod from that side, or to unlock the pin if one has a full load of keys.  I'd highly recommend test-fitting with the key in the keyhole before locking it in place.Another thing is to make sure to lubricate the connector where the small spike drives the ball bearings out.  I use a Teflon based lube here.  This way, there will be no issues when removing this.Because of the high security disc tumbler lock, that in itself puts the lock a head and shoulders above the competition, especially these days where vandals love to pull hitch pins in hope of causing a wreck.
I really like this hitch pin. Super easy to use, machined well, lock works well, good keys, much prefer it to the MasterLock equivalent.
This reciever lock is really nice looking, BUT - Beware, the locks shaft is too short to be used on a 2"x2" reciver.This item is mis-represented as a 2"x2" reciver lock, it will not work !
Bought this hitch lock to secure a tow point shackle.  Those things get stolen where I live.  I actually ordered it from Walmart and that was a huge mistake.  It took two weeks to get the lock. Walmart was priced 2 or 3 dollars less, even with shipping, but it wasn't worth it.  After the first week I wished I had gone to my local auto parts store and paid the extra bucks because Walmart was so slow.  ....won't make that mistake again.  Amazon.com is always much much faster.  Sorry Amazon....I'll order the NEXT one from you.The lock is very solid and well made.  Locks easily and seems very secure, more so than another I have on my wife's Jeep from a different manufacturer.  Make sure you put a little grease on the o-ring seal before securing it.  It's sticky and will be difficult to lock without some lube.  After applying a bit of grease, it locks and unlocks very easy.  And again, it seems very solid and secure.  I'm very happy with it, now that I finally got it!
Excellent quality...should last for many years. One-of-a-kind key...should be hard to pick or duplicate. Good dust cap, but it should have a lanyard so you don't loose it. Warning: keep this lock well lubricated. Only had it for 1 month and had to use Liquid Wrench to get it off. Use a light coating of automotive grease on the pin and ball bearing. Spray WD-40 into the tumblers. If you don't lube, this lock will seise up, and you WILL NEVER get it off.
Good construction, item is very strong, thiefs get farway watching the strong construnction and difficulty of this item, really recomended stuff for your truck/car.
I tried it on 2 different vehicles,Easy to use,both vehicles had no issues but I wanted to make sure it worked
Great scan  tool for "DIYs" and "Pros"! Easy and simple to use, gets right to the problem you may be having with the car. Turns off the check engine light if no major problem is found with the click of a button. Great buy!!! Will save you money and pay for itselfe in just a few uses. Can't go wrong with this "scan tool".
Very easy to use and so far seems to do everything that it is supposed to do.Several reviews indicated problems with connecting/printing to and from the computer.I had no problem connecting or printing.Just follow the instructions.
With everything now days spitting out codes, I needed something that reads them. This more than fits the bill. It covers everything I need, and more. It is small, has the code connect, easy to work the menus. Plus it was on sale when I got it. A friend of mine recommend ACTRON to me. He has had a CP9190 Elite since they first came out and never had any trouble with it. I have yet to have any issues with mine and I have used it on several family members cars. It kept my mother-in-law from getting ripped off at a shop. I am very pleased with this tool.
I recommend this tool for home use. The only draw back is that it does not work  with OBD1 on older vehicles.
I can't tell you how hand this product is.  If you work on your cars you can diagnose the component and reset the check engine light.  Works on my Chevy truck and BMW.
I tried two other scan tool before I purchased this one for my 2007 BMW X5 4.8i , the tool works great, easy to use, and the price was right, first time use saved me several hundred dollars
I was able to download Scanning Suite 4.0 from Actron's website and update my CP9575 on a 64 bit Win 7 laptop with ZERO issues-and my scanner works as it has in the 2 1/2 years I've owned it, perfectly!
This scanner is very easy to use and works well.  I am not an expert nor a professional mechanic but I do know my way around the garage. The live engine data is limited but it is more than enough for the average do-it-yourself repairs. I used it to diagnose a faulty pre-cat 02 sensor.  The large buttons are easy to use especially when wearing gloves.  Some other more expensive models offer to give common fixes for error codes.  Though this is a nice idea the chances they have the exact fix for your exact problem found in the exact model of car is slim.  You get better information for your car by researching the error code online.  So why spend the extra money for the device to give you a few suggestions if you are going to research the problem online anyway.  For those that just want to read the engine error code a cheaper model will work just fine.  I would recommend at the very least getting a code reader that can erase the codes.
Easy to use; very intuitive.  Very few rules to remember.  Great on my 2012 VW Jetta Sportswagen TDI, but just about useless on my 2008 Mercedes Benz ML 320 CDI, but that is not the fault of the tool.  MB seems to obfuscate as much as possible to assure their stealerships make gobs of money.  I am also disappointed that the Actron site only lists DTCs up through 2008 ?!?  Why?  .
I ordered this hoping to be able to read all vehicle sensor data including transmission fluid temperature. I found out that it does not do that. Only OBDII emission-related data can be retrieved. So it is very limited in use.Not like ScanGauge at all.I was able to get a code from my Kia Optima. The reader recognized the vehicle by VIN and read the code.Also it let me see the freeze frame date when the code set. Very useful in diagnosing the problem.However it did not read Toyota Sienna's VIN. I was able to see several emission related data live.I used AAP 40 off coupon, so I paid less for it than amazon's price, therefore it was worth it.
I ordered the wrong scanner/code reader and I was going to return it, but decided to keep it. For the limited ability I have to understand how to use it, it works well. I will obtain a book/help in understanding how to apply this tool, though I really wish that the manufacturer had made a more comprehensive manual. Also, the cord is short, which makes it a bit uncomfortable to use unless I am leaning forward, close to the dash.
I had an issue with my vehicle and I was tired of checking with the local automotive store for the code and clearing it when I was running some tests.  Got the Actron and saved a lot of time driving back and forth, waiting for help at the store, etc.  Now I can check whenever I want, at home, at the gas station, help a friend or family member out.  The Actron works well, might be a bit hard to see in direct sunlight, just change the angle, the buttons feel good, not mushy, good response, I can't complain about the speed of the unit and the screen page changes.  This is the only one I have extensive use with, I can't say if it is fast, slow, etc.  The speed is adequate for me, personnally.  If you own a few cars or deal with a few and some older that will then to exhibit issues with codes, I highly recommend owning an auto scanner, it will save a lot of time and frustration.Please click YES if my review have been helpful to you, it will encourage me to continue writing and updating my reviews, and leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.
Works great and accurate, the refresh rate isn't bad for the live data feed.
I have used this on Nissan, Honda, BMW, Ford, Buick, and Toyota. It has read all codes on each one (just look up what the codes are online). The live engine data is fantastic, and definitely worth the extra cost. This, paired with a TPMS sensor reset tool, and you'll be able to do basic maintenance and code reading right at home. Saves you money from running up to Autozone for a free code read or into the dealership for a &#34;diagnostic&#34;.
I have been cleaning saddles for almost fifty years and taking care of boots and bridles. I usually deep clean them with a separate cleaner and then condition several times a year. I need a product that repels salt and water on my bridles in the summer and that I can apply to many different types of saddles. While I was conditioning a neglected stored racing saddle as my first project with the product, my husband asked me how it was working. I said that it seemed to be very good and he picked up a bottle and said he was going to do the seats in our old Lincoln that he was taking to a car show. Warning him that he needed to read the directions, I continued my project. After two days the saddle does look very nice.If it does the job on the delicate leather of the racing saddle it should do fine on my roughout and tooled leather. I usually clean with Lexol cleaner so I can compare the feel between the leather honey and the Lexol conditioner. Now I will clean some bridles and see how it soaks into that leather.I am excited to use this product on my boots because I do not like an oily residue if I miss a spot when buffing them after cleaning and conditioning. My husband loved the results on the grey leather seats in our Lincoln.
I am extremely picky about the products I use on my car. When I say picky, I mean I would slap someone if they tried to come close to my car with some Turtle Wax.I read all the positive reviews here and a few other places and decided to give it a try. I have a gen 2 Prius that I bought used. The dealership had cleaned the seats very well and I could tell they stripped them of any conditioner. While the leather was not in bad condition it was sure getting a bit dry. I re-cleaned the seats and waited for them to fully dry. Then I started applying Leather Honey with a towel. This got old really quick. I decided it would be best by hand. So I grabbed latex gloves and got to massaging in the conditioner by hand. I think this is actually a good way to go it. I was able to rub it in deep and see where and placed that needed special attention were. I was able to get all of the seats in about 20 minutes or so.After letting it sit for several hours in the heat with the windows up I then started to remove it. I only had terrycloth rags with me... =/ it took about 20-30 minutes to remove the excess and I am quite pleased with the results. Remember LESS IS MORE when applying. I tried this but went a tad over but the removal was not bad at all.It has been about 2 months since I applied the conditioner and the seats are still in great condition. I plan to apply this every six months. Just before the hot weather and just after.Overall this is an EXCELLENT product and would recommend it without hesitation.
These really helped out some older shoes of mine. They were showing a lot of wear and tear; the leather cracked and scraped. Initially they looked almost brand new, but with a slightly duller appearance. After awhile some of the scuff marks slowly emerged, but still good looking overall. As for waterproofing, it didn't seem to work. I tested it with a small amount of water and it was clear the water was penetrating the leather.
This is really high quality stuff that works well into the leather. I would say my only issue with it, is that it does take a while for the leather to not be sticky. So I could not sit in my leather chair for a while after applying. I do feel that it does a good job at protecting and restoring your leather product.
I used this product on a myriad of leathers around the house and found that in nearly every case the &#34;Leather Honey&#34; was a disappointment.  I bought &#34;Leather Honey&#34; for the purpose of renewing an old pair of leather boots; after following the instructions and seeing absolutely no difference, I decided to try it on a variety of other leathers with little or no results.  Classic snake oil product
This stuff is crazy! Follow the directions closely! It literally has the same consistency of honey. No joke! It will restore your old faded leather, into a brand new look. I highly recommend this stuff!! Be prepared to do some work though. LOT'S of elbow grease is needed to go along with this honey. Good stuff though. Worth every penny!
I used this on my leather office chair.  Works as advertised.  Goes on thick like honey, rub it in with a clean towel, then wipe off any excess with another towel.  I am happy this product.
I can see why they call this honey leather condition - it's like applying honey to your furniture. Very difficult to apply and remove, but in the end it did improve the appearance of the leather. I can see that someone with rather weak strength would have difficulty with this product as it did require some SERIOUS effort to apply and remove - just a heads up.
I had a nice leather stool that was starting to look really poor.  Everyone's seat pocket buttons always scraping along the leather leaves a toll.  I used this, let it sit overnight as suggested, and now it looks and feels great.  The scratches aren't so noticeable and the leather is much more supple.
I bought this to restore the leather on a motorcycle seat and saddle bags.  I first tested on a pair of boots and was amazed on how they turned out.  This Leather Honey really brings the leather back to life.  I used a rage and applied a thin coat, it actually goes a long way, and let it sit for a few hours.  Came back and cleaned off the excess and poof, leather looks new again.  Also works well on synthetic leather.Just a word of caution...  The leather looks so rejuvenated that you should avoid using this on distressed leather.
I have several leather handbag that have a glazed coating and I found this product works BEST for that leather type.Just like some reviewers pointed out, yes, it is a bit sticky and you do have to make sure to wipe off any excess, otherwise there will be some residue. I use this product in conjunction with the WhooHoo-Clean foaming saddle,Foaming Saddle Soap. White Foam, No Yellow Residue To Worry. It Cleans Without Scratching. Gentle, Non-drying, Formulated for Fine/Luxury Smooth Leather. 5 FL OZ. By WhooHoo-Clean Leather Care. Trusted By Master Cobblers.,which works wonder on stains and jeans' dye and their leather conditioner and cleaner in one is great for smooth regular or softer leather. Both brands, a must-have for everyone who loves their fine leather items.
Love it a LOT! As some have said, it darkens your leather, but that quickly goes back to what it was. It doesn't undo any bad done, but it does replenish your leather and make it look and feel good again. I used it on my Subey's leather seats. I also used it on my Brook bicycle seat. VERY nice. It makes it look rich and new again.
I bought this product to give it a try, it will definitely bring old leather back to life, but it will need to be wiped down a little bit more than Lexol. If you are looking for deeper penetration and a higher sheen to your leather, this stuff do it.
this stuff was amazing.. kinda a pain in the ass to apply but like the directions say to heat it up to spread easier and it makes the black leather in my dodge ram 2500 nice deep dark and smooth feel.
When you apply you will think..... I don't know how this is going to work. But if you follow instructions and let it dry...it makes a big difference in your leather goods.
I used to all my cars. Now it smells like new cars. The leather is changed tender and smooth. Hey it is better than brand new leather!
This product is great, but it does take more time and effort. Having said that, it's worth all of the extra effort. NICE ! I even found out the company owners background, from the founding father on down to the present grandchild/owner via a thank you note. Highly recommend.
*1 Year Update*Still couldn't be happier with this product. Every since months or so I have been re-treating my frequently used leather items and this product has definably paid for itself in the extra life it has given my products. My motorcycle boots still look brand new and are still 100% waterproof. I have two pairs of work shoes I use this product on and after each treatment I have gotten comments from co-workers saying "hey, your new shoes look great." Well, no they are about 3 years old now, but the Honeyleather makes them look better than new! It has also extended the life of these shoes to the point where I am actually wearing through the bottoms of them while to top parts of the shoe still look brand new. I have also used this product to restore quality in my leather belts, multiple pairs of leather motorcycle gloves, and my wallet. This product has helped restore my faith in leather (well, atleast raw-hide) products and I've been recommending it to all my friends and co-workers.I just bought some stylish leather boots that have a real leather upper, and pleather everywhere else. Since it wasn't protected straight out of the factory I wanted something that would help get some more life out of the product. This is what lead me to this product. Easy to use, and works just like it should. My new boots look even better, and I'll be using this on all my leather products from now on.
I was looking for something like this for a long time. This one fits perfectly. Works great and very good quality product.
I needed this stuff to refinish a pair of my cole haan shoes.  Worked great.  It is a lot though.  The bottle has enough to do 100 pairs of shoes, so I guess I'll have this stuff forever.
I'd run out of a conditioner I purchased 10-15 years ago for boots and was looking on Amazon for mink oil or another leather conditioner and found Leather Honey and read comments. From there I visited their website, learned more, read comments, and ordered directly from them because I wanted to get the savings of buying a larger quantity.I used Leather Honey on a sofa, chair, and ottoman that are about 10 years old and have never had conditioner of any sort applied. Some areas of sun drying, some areas of drying from a wood stove, cat scratches, and normal wear... this is our most used (and abused) furniture. I put it all over... even in areas not exposed to the wear and tear. It restored the richness of the color and softness... the leather just plain feels better. My wife didn't know I'd done it, but immediately noticed the difference when she got home. She suggested another treatment which I'll probably do in a couple months (or if I get snowed in one day). I also treated a couple of jeans belts (one very worn and scraped on concrete), boots, and other small items with equally good results. A little went a long way.... bought a quart thinking I'd use about half of it, but actually used only about 20%.
This is the best way to take care of your leather products. I use it for my leather jackets, couch, car seats, and shoes. This gives life to leather. Makes it softer and leaves it looking new. Must have leather conditioner.
Ordered this for a couple leather jackets I have. The stuff works great and made the leather look new again....
Not a lot of shine here which is great for the dash.  The other Armor All dash cleaner leaves a grease layer on top of the dash which makes it ultra reflective on the windshield. On sunny days this can blind you as you drive and be dangerous!I use this product now because it leaves behind no greasy shine and cleans well!IMPORTANT:  Whatever cleaning agent is in ICE severely dries out leather.  Avoid any material that can be damaged by having the moisture sucked out of it.....ESP leather.
I've tried everything for my '09 Sonata, which has a plastic dash with a rubbery textured feel.  It's still plastic but has a leathery, pebbled texture.  Most everything at the local stores (armor all, black magic...) was all greasy and shiny, meant to bring those hard plastic dashboards back to life.  Those left terrible streaks on this surface, and many of the textured surfaces on the car.This is the first product I've tried that works great.  I can clean the whole interior, even the plastic runner under the doors, and it all comes out looking like new.No Streaks, no grease, no shine.  Just clean!It's a little expensive for what you get, but it actually works.
I got the Ice for the tires and my expectation was sadden, I was looking for the shine. There was none. And the smell was invisble as well. This is good for to cover up the interior for the dust. But to make it look better noway this stuff is not it.
I had used several ICE products before but not this one.  I certainly does the job and now greasy mess.
Using ICE Interior Care with a microfiber cloth is a fast and easy way to keep all interior car surfaces looking new. Cleans and gives some protection to plastics and vinyls of all textures without smearing or leaving a haze. Cleans leather but I wouldn't consider ICE a leather conditioner. Pleasant smell.
fit like it should,always performs well, royal purple has been good to me in the past and has never failed me the filtering quality is very good.look up the youtube vids and reviews online,great product
I recently switch from mobil 1 to Royal purple. I am very happy with their products so far. The filter is heavier than the mobile 1 I used. Royal Purple filter claims to be 99.9% efective at filtering at 25 microns, while Mobile 1 is 99.9% effective at 20 microns. 100% synthetic micro-glass media for superior particle removal was their big selling point. I have been using their oil for around 25,000 miles now and I couldn't be happier. It is a little pricey, but only the best for my car.
Pros-easy install (universal wrench)-no leakage (great seal)-no as pricey as other below average brandsCons- cannot come up with a single glitch
From the research I have read online, this royal purple oil filter is among a select few oil filters which have the highest filter medium density, meaning it cleans a lot more contaminants out of your oil than a cheap knock off brand filter. If you can afford the few dollars more than what the K&N; High performance filters are worth, These filters are the real deal. Glass/silicone filter medium is far superior than the paper type! I've been using these filters for my daily drive, they help keep your oil pressure at optimum, they don't slow your oil flow down under heavy acceleration. Checking my oil every 1000km, I have noticed the oil on my stick is noticeably cleaner at the 7,000km mark than it would usually have been with the K&N; filter.Great value for money. Dont buy those crap ones, this will give you peace of mind. keep your oil cleaner for longer :)you will get at lease 10,000kms out of this filter or 7250miles, however the manufacturer also states this filter will last another 50% longer than that at least. WARNING - be careful here, because your oil might not make it that far (unless your using high quality synthetics) and some cars require a certain interval of servicing.using full synthetic oil of a good quality, combined with this filter, and perhaps a washable K&N; or HKS air filter, you could extend your servicing intervals by 5000kms or 2625miles, saving you $$$ and not harming your engine, unless your oil is getting really dirty.
Works great on my BRZ fitment is perfect and it looks good in  my engine bay when I pop the hood
I have used a few of leather restoring oil products in the past and this works the best.  I put it on all the leather including shoes, jacket and furniture.  The best applicator I've found is my finger for small items and hand for larger ones like jackets. lol  Didn't seem to have any adverse effect or feeling on my skin.
This leather treatment work great.  The only issue I have is that it is not that easy to apply evenly accuse it is very thick.  I found that a paint brush works best.  When you apply it,  some areas will absorb a lot more than others depending of the wear of the leather.  Which totally makes sense...the more worn the leather is, the more it absorbs. I usually apply additional coats to the areas that absorb more.  It is best to let the stuff dry/absorb overnite, and then wipe off any area that still looks wet with a clean cloth.This treatment restores the leather to a new look and makes it feel softer. I apply it about every 4-6 months depending on how the leather starts looking.  I highly recommend this product,  I am already on my third bottle.
Leaves a sticky finish on my sofa, and does not protect against mild dew. I used Meguiar car leather cleaner and conditional, this really cleans my sofa well and doesn't leave a oily surface. Meguiar reduce the mild dew problem significantly.
This is a thick mixture of conditioner. It is like a thin heated honey. It gives the leather of old cars moisture and protection from the elements. It is good because it doesn't leave behind any  grease to soil your clothes.
This will do what it states. But let it soak in. Real thick! Not a thin oil. So wipe in on thin to start. Not Neats foot oil.  SW
These filters and Amsoil filers and amsoil oil are the best you can buy. Royal Purples oil not so much but the filters are great
I'm not sure if it is a factory defect or it is supposed to be like that. When I shook the filter with my hand, I could hear a wobbling noise from the inside. The inside of the filter, I could move it back and ford with my finger. I have used Wix, Mobil 1, Porulator, KN and none of them I could move a thing inside the filter.Can anyone confirm it is normal before I put it on my car (this is my first RP filter)? I will just toss it away and forget about it if it is a defect (never again RP filter $12)ThanksUpdate: I talked to RP customer support and this is his reply. If you have a similar problem, do NOT put this filter on your car :) have a good dayGood Morning,This doesn't sound right.  Please reply with the filter part number and your location.  We would like to get this filter back for inspection and would happily replace it for you.Thanks for choosing Royal Purple and have a great day!Best Regards,Christopher BarkerTechnical Services
...after reading reviews and watching UtubeI had to find out, so Dremmel in hand and cutter disk l opened one right next to my NAPPA Gold. And compared the two. A difference? How about a world! Love your car? Want it to last? Spend a little more less often and get the RP filter. Oh yes, the difference between the two is posted on Utube....watch and believe!
Filter is built so much better than the typical Fram filters.  There is no back flow, and the micro screen catches the finest particles.

I used this product on my infiniti qx56 and I'm very happy with it. Royal purple is an excellent brand
I got the filter for free when RP ran a special; buy the oil and get a filter for free.  This combined with the RP 5W-30 synthetic oil has made a noticeable difference in how smoothly my car runs.  I hope RP runs the special again soon so I don't have to pay for the filter separately $$$.
With out question the best filter you can get. Any one with a modular 5.4L V8 should be running this filer. Doesn't matter what oil you run, you will get lots of miles out of this filter. I use Royal Purple HPS 5W-20 in my 2001 F150. I check the oil often and I get about 10k miles before doing an oil change. I use to run another brand of oil and still get 8-9k miles out of it. I know it cost more &#34;right now&#34; but in the end its cheaper. I do 1 oil change a year. Cost me around $60 compared to doing it every 4-5k miles and costing me $40. You do the math.
Good quality filter. You can feel the quality when you pick it up....It's easy to tell that there are no flimsy parts in this filter!
If you have any synthetic oil these filters will allow you to go longer oil chnage intervals, as they don't have any paper in their filter.  it is synthetic fibers,, and they are very heavy duty.  A little more then i want to spend, and I don't prefer their oil, but RP filters are top shelf!!  Check out you tube royal purple filter and see how these are made, best filter out there.
Quality Oil filter. Thick walled can, strong, will not crush easily. Synthetic micro glass media filtration. Silicone anti-drain back valve to prevent dry start.
Easy to use and fits well on my 2012 Dodge RAM 1500 quad-cab. This product is well build. Thank you
If  you're going to spend the money to use RP oil then you may as well use a quality RP oil filter as well.You can use this filter with any brand of oil if you're just looking for a very good performance oil filter.
This product does a great job cutting through the grime and dust in your vehicle to make the interior clean and smell great.  Leaves no greasy or oily residues.
only orderd 1 bottle but u charged me 4 2,and sent me 2 don't want 2 bottles of same thing now too exspensive.
This product cleans well while not leaving everything greesy. Just wish the product had a little more shine to it
When I used it the first time it amazed me how clean my interior was, it stripped off the built up Armor All, and left a clean satin look to dash and door panels on my Jeep, it has a pleasant smell too. It is hard to find around here, so I stock up when I can, and it goes a long way with the 24oz bottle, Highly Recommend!!!
I bought the full set of these, and in triple quanities  due to TV  muscle car recommendations, No wonder local auto parts stores  dont carry this products, It stained my dash and speedometer  plastic, leaves  residue in windsheild over spray,.
This concoction makes all the rubber, vinyl, and plastic on your vehicle look beautiful and it smells great!  It really makes tires look nice without any greasy residue.I've been unable to find this at local auto parts stores, so I'm glad Amazon sells it.
works great on tires,trim,bumpers and lights any plastic or rubber very slick and shiny,shiny,shiny stuff,your surveys are way to long.
Leaves a nice black looking tire with a little shine. I love that with this product I don't have to worry abou sling
I have been cleaning my tires for over 30 years using whatever was the &#34;Top&#34; tire cleaner, usually returned to wesleys tire bleech. This stuff is fantastic on my Jeeps tires, and you can use it on all rubber, plastic and vinyl, removes the grey oxidizing. And it makes the tires look sweet, and using a wax applicator it takes less than 20 minutes plus it does not sling off the tires and onto the body. I like the fact it is water based, not caustic as a lot of similar product's.
I ordered  6 of these  and  it didnt last, used them onmy new dodge ram 1500  and  it was  disappointing  on new Goodyear tires,  i went with Duplicolor Tire spray and  it last  soooo much ,longer
I bought it to clean up the trim after waxing since I have a bad habit of getting carried away with the wax. Seems to do the job and get the white crub off the plastic trim and shine it back to black.
If you're looking for a glass finish, this will do it. Just make sure you're using a foam applicator. If you try to use a cloth, you won't be able to polish it to a mirror shine, as it will still be too rough of a grit for that.Your best bet, of course, is using a random orbital polisher.... but if you're ready to use one of those, you should already know that.
There's really no point in doing a review of this product when there are so many others, but I will echo the comments. This is part two of a fantastic duo (m105/m205), which for many detailers are the "go to" compound and polish combination for tackling most swirls, etc. on paint. Among some other great compounds and polishes, the m105/205 duo should be in your collection.I detail only two cars (my cars) and I didn't need a large volume of the product, so I purchased only the 8 oz. Either way, a little product goes a long way.Meguiar's m205 finishes very nicely and hardly ever do you need anything finer after that to finish a polishing job.I definitely will buy more when I run out.
Pretty good finish. Have always use menzerna pf2500 and ff3000 similar to those .i would use as an back up or to use if I'm doing a car that's notine and don't want to use my menzerna
After M105, followed up with M205 and all I can say is WOW. The paint was so slick after buffing it felt weird, I hate to use the term &#34;like glass&#34; but like glass.Only con is I purchased the small bottle.FYI, (04 Silver Maxima) clay barred, compound, polished, then waxed (6hrs), first time I have ever done such and extensive detail job and I'm more the satisfied.
Meguiar's Mirror Glaze line is the real deal. Make sure to shake well before use, Use the M105 to get rid of the deeper scratches first, and then use this to get a perfect polish.
I haven't had to use this under an outage yet, but that is my main purpose for buying. The assembly was straightforward and I really liked the included tool kit and battery. It started right up the first time and every couple weeks for the test run. Don't forget to buy engine oil! It cannot be shipped with it in the crankcase.
We have this set up to power our 200A panel using an interlock switch and a 30A cable. We also have a watt meter.  This allows the generator to easily power the whole house - minus the central AC units.  There is a very large 6.5 gallon gasoline tank.  In limited testing, we filled with one gallon and it ran about 3 hours under load before running dry.  Be aware that once you use the four prong 30A outlet, the other 110 ac outlets are not powered.It starts easily every time.The exhaust runs pretty hot and shoots from the rear right side near the bottom.  Make sure you have a clear path or things can get red hot after running for a few hours.Now that we have this and are all set up, we virtually guaranteed that we will not lose power again.  Oh well.  At least we are ready.
I have not experienced a full blown power outage so far since I bought this. I run it once a month and it starts up like a charm. I tested it on a lamp and it does indeed provide power. Hopefully it will be up to the task when I need it.
The designers of this gas powered generator really had a lot in mind. It's very easy to carry due to the wheel kit that they added. The power is 3000 watts, which is great for most projects, and it has a great 4 cycle design. Overall, I'm very impressed with what this generator offers as part of its price tag. It's durable, and it works. It's a definite suggested buy.
Very well built medium power emergency generator.  Appears to be a good value.Enough power out to keep my refrigerator, freezer and a few lights going when the electric company has a problem.I live in Arizona so when a power outage occurs it doesn't take long for these appliances to start warming up.I set it up (oil to the crankcase and assembly of the wheels and handles) and it started on the first pull.I checked the power output and it produced 120v and/or 240v as described.  The noise level during running is pretty low.The only issue I had was a wire connected to the ON/OFF switch came off during shipping.  This didn't affect the unit's abilityto start but I found it wouldn't turn off until I reconnected the loose wire to the switch.  I wish the manufacturer wouldhave set the switch to work the opposite,  namely having the unit not start unless the switch was connected.  If the wirecame loose during running it might be a problem finding/fixing the loose wire in possibly "near dark" or "wet" conditions.
WEN Model 3500 7HP GeneratorAfter hurricane Sandy, I decided to upgrade my home generator.  Not being independently wealthy I had to forgo the whole house automatic turn on generator.  I want to power my sump pump, my fridge and my freezer.  Anything else is a bonus.  I researched generators thoroughly. (or ad nauseum according to my bride.)My old Coleman generator worked just fine but the gas tank gave me one hour and 15 minutes of run time.  Annoying during the day and highly annoying at night, I found my self looking for a generator that had a larger gas tank and a longer run time.  This Wen has a 4 gallon tank that claims 11 hours on half load.  It seems like a quality build.The generator comes with a wheel kit which is an added expense in many of the generators in its price range.  Assembly was relatively painless.  The oil tank is a bit tricky to fill.  I spent $2.49 at Kmart to get a flexible spout funnel.  I also spent the money to get the synthetic oil.  My small engine repair guy says it is worth the extra expense.  I filled the oil, put a few ounces of gas in and the generator fired up on the second pull.  I was amazed at how long it ran on the minute amount of gasoline I put in it.I called customer service and I got a human being without any machine intervention.  He was knowledgeable and pleasant.  There is also a parts section on the web page for any needed repairs on the generator.  WEN appears to be a company that has a positive attitude toward customers.So this generator is ready to go for the next extended power outage and with any luck I will never have to use it.FEATURES:* 7 HP Engine* 3500 Surge Watts, 3000 Running Watts* 4-Gallon Fuel Tank* Low-Oil Automatic Shutdown* Two 120 Volt Receptacles* One 240/120 V NEMA L14-30 Receptacle* Voltage Indicator Lights* Voltage Selector Switch* 12VDC Outlet* Hour Meter* Wheel Kit* 2 Year Limited Warranty
Perfect fit & quality...Just the right length without being to long or to short...Has clips that match the frame holes... Giddy-Up.
Easy to read instructions.  Installed in less than 10 minutes using only a #2 phillips screwdriver. This was supposed to come with my receiver hitch, but did not.
Exactly as described... It was very easy to hook up and has good build quality.  I believeit will hold up for years to come.  I would reccomend to all jeepers!
Rugged Ridge 17275.01 4-Way Tow Hitch Wiring Harness for 2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited JK is easy to install and a nice addition to the Rugged Ridge 11580.10 Rear Hitch.  Save yourself some trouble and install them both at the same time.
Straight up, this is a stone simple add-on for simple trailers with flat plug connectors. I had the taillight housing out and this harness plugged in within 10 minutes, and then spent an additional 10 minutes obsessing over how to route the loom across the back frame rail. I ended up pulling off the electrical tape holding on the push fasteners and re-stretching the loom to get more slack at the hitch, and replacing the tape with my own small cable ties.Price and ease of installation earn this 5 stars, but some extra length would be welcomed.
Someone finally came up with a no brainer idea for a wiring harness, easy easy easy to install the first time and if you don't like the plastic insert spacing for attaching the wiring just remove the tape and put them back where you want them - total install time 8 minutes.
Good quality and shipped fast. Fits my 2009 Jeep Wrangler. Fit great in my jeep and just the right length and fit into the hitch.
It just doesn't get any easier than this trailer wire harness from Rugged Ridge. Remove the left tail light lens cover, plug in the connectors, run the harness to your hitch & done! Thanks RR for another great product. Teamed up with a Rough Country receiver or another brand of your choosing and you've got a $200+ savings from the factory installed 'trailer tow group'.
Loved the way this harness was designed to utilize the factory holes to attach to my 2013 wrangler.  You only need to remove the screws on the right hand side of the drivers side rear light to remove it.
Super easy to install by just taking off the driver side tail light and running it down thru to the hitch. 2 snaps and it was on. I did use a couple zip ties to hold it close to the car so it woudln't drag.
Extremely easy wire harness install. Even came with attached clips to hold wires to existing holes in frame. Very slick.
I mounted an aftermarket trailer hitch to the OEM holes drilled int he rear cross frame, but the receiver did not come with a wiring harness.  I figured I sould pick one up at a local parts store.  Then I saw this one.  I like the way it appears to be &#34;plug and play&#34; and let me tell you it IS!  Very simple to install without drilling, cutting or splicing wires.  Plugs right into the tail light plugs inside the driver side tail light casing.  Once I removed the tail light cover (with a screw driver) it took about five minutes to plug the harness in and feed it down through the bottom of the tail light socket and (how lucky I was) I found it snapped into the socket on the side of the receiver I had installed.  It even has little retainer clips along the wiring so you can secure it to the frame under the Jeep.  Trailer lights work perfectly.  This was an EASY install.  NOTE: it has a four plug flat type plug.  If you have a 7 pin round plug on the end of your trailer wiring, you will need to purchase an adapter that converts it to the four flat plug style.  I picked one up at a local farm supply store for around seven dollars.
This simply plugs into the left taillight. Much less a pain than the one for our Chrysler Town and Country.
Great product.  Easy and fast installation with great directions.  They even had pictures!  Nice product and it works great.
This was really easy to install on my 2012 Rubicon.  It took 10 minutes tops to install and works perfectly.  I highly recommend this product.
I installed these on my 2012 Jeep Arctic tonight i think they make the front end really pop now was unsure of the look at first but it kinda grown on you after awhile. Install was fairly straight forward just peel off the backing on the double sided tape line up and stick. Shipping,packaging was awesome as always from Amazon wish other retailers would try to be more like Amazon. The stuff actually came a day early and no damaged at all thanks Amazon !!!
Would have given it 5 stars but for the price , make the front end pop with my color jeep and I would recommend the headlight trim also. But for what it is , a small bit of plastic , and what it cost , it seems a bit pricy  , If you have the spare cash and your jeep is a bright color . Go for it.
I ordered these along with the ones for the turn signal lights and could not be happier with the way they look.  They fit in well and add protection to the edge leading into the lights.  I looked at some other items and also looked at these on a few other sites but ordered them from Amazon based on the lower price.  I have ordered several accessories from Amazon for my 2011 Wrangler and these are one of those "great investments"
I really love these headlight trim, I purchase them along with the turn signal trim pieces and the aluminum billet inserts and really made my Rock Lobster Red wrangler grill stand out!  They are very easy to install, and the final look is awesome!
These are really easy to install, anyone can do it.  These tiny little details add a nice custom look to it so your Jeep stands out from the rest. The adhesive tape used is great. You can spray it with a power washer on full power and they stay put. Easily recommended to anyone.
Nomally I'm not one for this stick-on stuff, but these look great, especially if you have grille inserts. Fit my '10 Rubicon perfect.
I put inserts into the grill slats of my Black Jeep Wrangler and something just didn't look right.  They created a textured look to the center of the grill but the outside edges looked plain.  I added the Headlight trim and the turn signal trim, both in Matte Black, and it added a little something.  Just enough to offset the grill inserts.  it is a very subtle add on for a black Wrangler but looks real sharp, like it was supposed to be there, but different from stock.  A friend has the Dozer Yellow Wrangler and these look awesome on it.
These are easy to install and seem to stay on just fine. It is a nice way to look different from the other Jeeps
Easy install. Did the front of my Jeep with headlight trim, turn signal trim, and grille inserts. Other Jeep owners have asked what was different about my Jeep.
These installed very easily and they look great if your looking for a quick way to add something to your jeep these are great
I like it because it looks good and it is easy to install. Only problem is that the tape does not stick enough and it keeps popping out.Replaced the tape and problem solved.
Just like the other Rugged Ridge ad-ons I have purchased, easy and fast to install.Double sided sticky tape, done in minutes and makes a nice but minor different look.
Added a nice touch of class and installation and fit were a breeze. A little pricey but look'en good is priceless.
These look great on my rock lobster red wrangler! Really accents the front along with the matching turn signal trim and mesh grill inserts. Super easy installation.
I use these valves on all our vehicles and put one on any new vehicle we acquire. This valve is not much bigger than the oil pan plug. If clearance is an issue for off road like in my 4x4 vehicles, I make sure it is either tucked/hidden nicely by factory design or I add an engine skid plate to protect the valve as well as the oil pan and transmission. I have not had any issues with 6 of these valves over many miles. Comes in handy to get a quick sample for oil analysis as well. No muss no fuss. I like to use the valve to drain the oil directly into an old used 5 quart oil jug and then drop it off at the oil collection depot. No need for a hose off the valve either. Great product!
This Oil Drain Valve is awesome... I wish I would of known sooner. It is very simple to installs just like the old drain plug. Fit perfect and no more slow drips are coming out of my car.
I lost the valve on my Escort when I scrapped it so needed one for the Focus. This valve will probably stay closed for normal people in normal driving. If you are driving in weeds and brush bumper high and sometimes backing up, it could open. I fastened a steel hose clamp on it to keep this from happening. It did happen once with the Escort.
Have been changing my oil for while now, for a few reasons. One, it saves me some bucks, and the second is, i know exactly what oil is going in, and what filter is going on. I don't so much care about the oil as long as it's synthetic, as I do about the filter. Anyways this product is great if you change your own oil! It is so easy to change, no mess no hassle, no tools. Just make sure you check the manufacturers website to verify if you need one of the adapters, and please make sure to use the included washers, or your oil will leak! The only minor annoyance is it takes slightly longer to drain the oil using this, as the opening is narrower than that directly on the oil pan. This isn't an issue for me, however if you off road or have a very low car, there is a chance that this will stick down far enough to become vulnerable. I read somewhere that someone with this installed was off-roading, hit a rock and took off the entire oil pan. Sounds like utter poppy-cock to me, but who knows. I love it.
I ordered this for a 2008 Honda Civic.This valve will not screw into the oil pan, because the spot where the plug is located is recessed, and the valve can't turn in that space.
Saves lots of time when changing oil. Excellent and very simple methods to find out which model is right for the vehicle. Product is of industrial quality and great craftsmanship. This is my third fumoto valve and I will always make sure I use them. Saves sooooo much time!
I have purchased several of these valves over the years and put them on 6 different vehicles that I have owned.  They make oil changes a lot less messy especially on a Subaru Outback I used to have that had a large diameter drain plug that would quickly dump and splash oil everywhere. I trust Fumoto and haven't had any issues with loosening or leaking even on my Toyota pickup that I installed a valve on over 10 years ago.  In the unlikely event that the valve somehow gets damaged or broken by road debris, I still do carry the original drain plug in each vehicle for my own piece of mind.  I also do all my own oil changes and am not sure if quick lube places like these valves or not because it does take a little extra time for the oil to drain.
Purchased two of these to replace the vents on my 2008 KZ Sportsmen. Install was straight forward, quality seems to be top notch. Kind of cool to watch them spin in tandem when the wind shifts directions. I only had a slight sewer smell in my trailer if it sat for an extended period of time, I suspectthese will take care of that with ease.
Very poorly designed roof connection. If you have a rubber roof the amount of Dicor you would have to use is crazy, plus that is the only thing (no butyl tape under it.) Because of that I modified the old roof vent so as to slip this one onto it and then caulked it in place. Can't believe Camco didn't design this better.
no stink yet so I guess it works. Installed in about 1/2 hour. turns with the wind as advertised. good product
Works as described and very easy to install. I would also put a heavy bead of silicone around the vent pipe before you put it over it. this way it will help keep it on.
Compared to units I've had in the past, this is very tall. Rotates freely in all directions even under the lightest breeze.  Doesn't seem to have the drawing power of other brands I have tried at highway speeds leaving vapors entering the cabin while flushing, but this could be how the motor home is plumbed and not the vent.
We've all been there...Not always, but if the wind blew the right way you got that smell...Not once since I installed this vent. Easy Install and it works! With the slightest breeze, I creates a negative pressure that draws the odors out of the sewer system. Satisfied customer!
works just like a super dooper pooper scooper. well it definetly gets rid of any smells or whatever. easy to install. dosent hurt to put a little sealer around the base.
On my second one of these now. First one somehow disappeared on the highway somewhere. Not sure how that happened. Anyway, this has made a huge difference with keeping the black tank  vent odor out of our trailer. Black tank vent is right by the bathroom air vent. This has really helped move the odors away from the trailer - thanks to the wind. Great product.
Works as described, fairly easy to install. Kinda obtrusive though, it really stands out more than I would have liked
This little thing actually works as it should.  I'm holding one star back because I think there's a little room for improvement.  What if, while sitting stationary, you could extend this thing up about 18 inches and then secure it with a lynch pin?  Why, you ask?  Well, my black water vent is right behind my bathroom vent fan.  If the wind direction is just right, this serves to expedite the sewage 'smell' into my RV.  That is not the most pleasant of experiences.  Of course this could happen with or without the vent but, as the vent is more capable at air exchange, the aroma tends to be a bit more pronounced.  Still, this is a good product and I won't remove it due to that one fault.
I receved the vent and it was just as described. Works and actually eliminated the black tank odors that would happen at times when you flushed the toilet. I normally only had odor in windy situations and/or when someone might use the toilet while traveling in the motorhome.  This simple device creates by design a constant updraft via the vent pipe. Works good.  BTW,  Camping World has these also but not at this pricing.
Keeps the updraft going on the RV septic system so that the odors do not linger in your holding tank.  Just be sure to use the proper sealant upon installation so that you get a good tight seal.  I would recommended this product to all RVer's! :)
We had a couple of these vent broken by people washing our roof.  We replaced them but we find that sometimes they don't rotate as easily as they should.  They serve the purpose and in general, they work well.  We would buy them again.
I bought this product for my father who just went to Germany to sign for his new BMW. I wanted to put together some good cleaning products for him to use when his car arrives. This company makes some of the best cleaning products you can buy.
This wheel cleaner annihilated brake dust on my 2006 VW Touareg (knwon for having excessive wheel dust). The cleaner works awesome and leaves wheels perfectly clean. The long brush is a little too big to get into all the spots on the insode of the wheel. The finger gloves work magic when used to clean the wheels.
I read a review on this product before I purchased it and am glad I did.  It really works.  Like it.
WOW, just wow. This makes it so easy to clean the dust off of my wheels. No excuses now. The brush is cheap but it works on my wheels. I really don't want to spend the day cleaning cars and this stuff makes it so easy.
I cannot tell the difference between using this cleaner and using just soap and water.  The scrubber brush is nice.
Then it would be perfect, but no matter, after a while, you will get your hands dirty when you use this, unless you have the temerity to clean the sponge after every use, i dont and it would take a long time, so after a while, the tire black and applicator will eventually seep through the entire sponge and every time you use it, it will get on your hands.  Having said that, i have not found something better that has the same price point, so i continue with it.
Can' beat any other applicator for putting on leather conditioner and tire shine products.  LIcking might work better, but that could be fatal. Enough said.
I bought this product to use withGriot's Garage 11044 Long Lasting Tire Dressing - 16 oz..  While the tire dressing is a fine product, this detail sponge sucks.  Every time I use this my hands end up covered in the tire dressing.  I haven't found a way to hold this that your hand doesn't get fully greased with  product.Ordinarily I'd give such a product 1-star but they say it works for interior dressing as well- maybe it's better at that.  For tire applications spend your money on theEagle One 5010602 Tire Swipes (2 per poly Bag)instead.  They work great and can be cut in half to handle low profile tires.
These blue sponges have slits on the sides, so taking a scissors I continue the slits and cut the sponge in half, then cut each half in half again, ending up with 4 half-moon segments from each sponge, for a total of 8 sponges from this 2 sponge set.  I use these to apply wheel dressing.  One segment allows me to apply dressing to both cars in my family (8 tires) then I toss it out.  Applying dressing once every six weeks, This 2-pack lasts me just about a year.Recommended!
This is a well made sponge, easy to hold on to, and do a great job applying leather cleaner on seats, I wish I'd have bought a few more!
I got these just to see if they are worth the money and I will say that while you can get foam/sponges all over the place now, this is one of those products that you buy in association with other products. I would probably not make a special purchase just for these, but they're good accessories. The foam does appear to be a better quality that what you get at the local parts houses. They take a beating and if used right will do wonders for keeping you clean while you apply tire dressing or even do a spray cleaning of your interior. Good stuff and bigger than I thought they'd be.
These are one of the best tire gel applicators I've ever used. They are well-suited to gels, but not liquids. They are not the absolute best as I believe a black hex foam applicator would be a bit of an improvement, but those are difficult to find. I don't really have any complaints with these ones from Griot's for the price paid.
I love these mitts for drying. To make the car look great, in my experience, good drying is just as important as washing! And these mitts are superb for that! They not only dry and shine, but remove any remnants of the dirt your washing might have left behind. I do half of the car with one side, and then the other half with the other side by flipping them on my hand. Then I use the second glove for non-painted surfaces. Since they are color coded, I always use one color mitt for the painted parts, and one color mitt for the non-painted parts.I don't like these gloves for washing too much. These mitts hold A TON of water. I found that when they are loaded with water they are quite heavy and I prefer micro fiber towels for washing!This is how I use micro towels for washing: I made a mitt out of a microfiber towel by sewing a rubber band into the towel edges. Then I put this home-made mitts on a car washing wand (the kind that has a head that rotates easily in many directions). I bought the wand in a store, but replace the cotton mop head with my home-made micro fiber mitts and they gives me much better cleaning results and with less effort. I made a few of these micro fiber mitts and use 5 or 6 of them during each car wash. And then finish up with these "wormy" Micro Fiber mitts to dry out.The same wormy mitt is sold under several brand names. The best price I found on these gloves is at CostCo, but lately I don't see them there any more. Amazon price is pretty good but fluctuates. There is a nice tool that shows history of Amazon prices and these item varied by just $1 within last year. If you want to find this tool search on Amazon price alert and select the one with camel in its name.Ali Julia review
These Griot's Garage Micro Fiber Chenille wash mitts are fantastic!! I have been extremely impressed by the quality of these mitts.1. Different colors are nice so you can use different mitts for upper/lower part of the car.2. MF Chenille will not damage your paint and works great in a 2-bucket wash3. The mitts can absorb a ton of water/soap so you can wash large sections of the vehicle.4. The mitts fit nicely on the hand and I do not have issues with them falling off, spinning, etc.If you are looking for a quality wash mitt then look no further. I have compared to other MF wash mitts (non-Chenille) and these blow the competition away in this price range.
I so far have found these to work very well.  They hold lots of soap and water and it's pretty easy to flip the mitt while it's on your hand.  I have average size hands and the mitt never felt like it was going to fall off.  I also did not experience and color bleeding, although I hosed them down before I used them.  They do a good job cleaning my car.
These wash mitts are awesome in my opinion.  They are super soft and will not, if cared for, scratch any finish.  I have a lot of Griot's products, but I must admit, these mitt's are the best thing they sell!  If you  really care about  your cars finish,  you can't go wrong with these mitts.
I actually have the wash pads and they are not really effective because they hold so much water that they become heavy and cumbersome to use --especially on the side and lower parts of your vehicle.Also, they take forever to dry. One time I accidentally put them away in a container when I thought they were dry but the inside was still moist. The next day, they smelled like mold.You could toss these in the dryer but it would take forever to dry. When you leave them out to dry, they take a few days to completely dry before you can put them back in storage.As far as washing ability, I wasn't impressed. They don't lather up properly and I feel like every time I go over the paint, I am moving water around and not enough soap.My favorite car washing sponge is the Zymol sponge. You can get it for like 8 bucks on eBay. It is made from a higher quality sponge material, it is the perfect size, and it just makes car washing so much easier.  Microfiber is good for a lot of things but I think a good quality sponge is best for washing.  I actually like the sponge better than a sheepskin mitt (Griot's used to sell a superior sheepskin mitt which I have and still use.)I will admit that these micro fiber mitt's/pads look really cool and they feel great when they are dry but once you drop them in the water, they become so heavy that you can't efficiently use them. You might feel otherwise but I have a feeling if you use these, you will encounter the same problems I had.  IMO a good quality washing sponge/cloth should be lightweight when loaded with water and soap so that when you are washing your vehicle, you are able to produce lather.  This wash mitt/pad becomes so heavy when loaded with water that it is not able to effectively do that.I don't recommend this product to wash your car.
I washed these brightly colored mitts along with my othermicro fiber towels. Now they all have a tint to them! I wishthe manufacturer would warn about this. My white MF towelsstill work well but are no longer white. Mitts do hold a lot ofsoap and will do a larger area than a less plush mitt would do.Minus one star for the bleeding color.
These things hold a ton of water.  That means they transfer more water from the bucket to your car, which is a good thing.  They're nice and heavy when wet so you don't have to scrub your paint.  When combined with a no-rinse (like ONR) wash, it soaks up a ton of dirt trapping liquid so you're safe from scratches while washing your car.
Bought it for  my car but so far it is delegated to drying my 10 pound mini Doberman.  The pup has several recurved teeth and you have to be fast in getting the water on the soap on the rinse done and the biggie the dog must be dry before leaving the controlled wet area.These mitts give you 4 surfaces that are more that adequate for my dog.  The trick is getting them on at the end of rinse. so you might consider a dog wash stand as sold by Amazon that keeps the dog from jumping to the floor and breaking something if the floor is not carpeted.  Two people would be nice so you can play bad cop and good cop thereby avoiding the putting the mitt on which is not easy in this situation.  My dog is like a rocket and has only two states wild and sleeping.
I bought these mitts for the high reviews but I was insanely disappointed. In the first minute I knew I hated them. When I soaked them in the soap and water I pulled out what felt like a set of 10 lb dumbells. My arms were exhausted and just to give them another chance I tried them on another wash... I threw them in the trash.. I wouldn't even be okay giving them to a friend because I wouldn't wanna put them through it.
These mitts DO hold quite a bit of liquid and take some agitation to clean.  But, using a 2-bucket wash system, these mitts do the job well.
Microfiber material is very soft. I like the right colors. The mitt size is a little big for my hand, but if you have a big hand, it will fit perfect. Holds a lot of water when using it. Washes up great after use.
These hold a great deal of sud! Whoa. Don't over soak them in the water though because they are quite hefty when saturated. You can clean large sections of the car and don't forget to turn over and use the other side as well.I had no issues of it bleeding after washing or dying or leaving residue.
This is the second set of Griot micro fiber mitts I purchased.....they do not wear out...I simply change them every year just to be safe regarding my car finishes...they wash well and hold up to numerous washings...I love them...they are cheaper to ship via Amazon as well.
These things hold A LOT of water.  They're nice and thick and wash easily to prevent any marring.  Using the 2 bucket method you should have little to no swirls when you're done washing.  Remember to use 1 for the top 1/2 of the car and the other for the bottom.
These work great, they hold water/soap really well and seem to keep the dirt from scratching the paint. Combined with a two bucket wash method these really cut down on developing swirls and other marks. I washed them first, and haven't seen any color bleeding or other issues.
These micro fiber wash mitts seem to work well.  I have used this style for a couple years and as long as you dont drop them and wash them out thoroughly they clean very well.
Best wash mitts of the ones I've tried. Perfect for those OCD folks like me. Two mitts in different colors mean you can use one for the dirty parts of the car (wheel wells, lower trim, etc.) while leaving the other for the parts you're really protective of (the hood, and body panels).Nice and soft. Holds a huge amount of water and suds making it easy to get the soapy water from the bucket to where you need it.I've had mine for a year or so and they seem to be holding up very well in the wash.Really great quality. Just what you would expect from Griot's.
These work well, almost as well as sheepskin/lambswool mitts.  They launder easily, wring well, and hold a lot of water.  Large too.
The Good: Godly absorbing power, I mean you will refill your wash bucket several times. Freaking insane absorbancy. Mitts are supper soft and feel well made, as expected from griot products.They pretty much soak your car. They Feel good on the hand, when dry... see the not so good.The Okay: Suds okay, gets the job done but not as deep cleaning as i wanted one pass to be.Not so good: this mitt absorbs so much water that it does get abit heavy after dunking it in the bucket. It gets annoying to refill the bucket with water every 5 minutes.The Bad: Because you have to make multiple passes with a heavy mitt, you get freakin sore. I mean you feel it burn that arm muscle.Judgement: The quality is there, and its a nice mitt. the performance leaves me confused, because judged as a wash mit Its almost terrible! however other users say its a great drying mitt, and I must say it probably is.bottom line: of you want a great light,foamy mitt, perhaps look elseware because I think im using this as a drying, and perhaps detailing mitt.
These are nice wash mitts in that they are gentle on your car being that they are microfiber.Note, they take a very long time to dry.  I washed my car one week ago and squeezed out as much water as I could by hand and hung these up in my garage to dry. They are still damp one week later!  Granted, it is winter time here so has not been very warm, but I guess I will have to put them in the dryer next time.I do not know how long these will last but hopefully a while.
These are super soft and may be the best wash mitt I've ever used.  Plenty of room to trap dirt away from the surface when cleaning, and releases dirt well in the rinse bucket against a grid guard.
Very, very fluffy. Holds a lot of water and soap. Having two means you can separate one for the cleaner, top half of the vehicle and use the other for only bottom half.Washes well and has many &#34;hairs&#34; which can trap dirt effectively.Oh and good price too.
I purchased the sprayer to go with a 35 oz of Griot's Garage Speed shine which I got based on a recommendation of a auto enthusiasts forum I follow. Given the price of the sprayer and the fact that it was sold separately my expectation were very high and did not quite live up to my expectations.1. Even on the fine setting it sprays huge amount of liquid. Maybe that is a feature, but I would have liked more control over that. I am attaching a photo (under customer photos) of how much Speed Shine I used by just using it on the windows (not the entire car) while using Griot's Glass clay.2. After four uses it began leaking. I am still using it, but I expected to get more life out of it without leaks.I like Griot's Garage car care products, but next time I think will go with another sprayer.Ali Julia review
Works well to get the very bottom is Griot's larger product bottles. Unavailable locally.  Groit's seems to have good, quality products no matter which on you buy and use. Excellent offering Amazon...
Since Griots makes you buy this separately I thought it would be a good product. Not so. This sprayer didn`t make it through half the bottle when the seals broke. The speed shine is a great product,but the sprayer is crap. Save your money and just pour the speed shine in an empty Windex bottle like I had to do.
There's no fine mist setting on these sprayers.  It goes from closed, to a sloppy spray.  I apply the majority of my detailing liquids to pads or towels, and a fine spray would really cut down on wasted product.  It's a conspiracy! :)Yeah.... just go to your local hardware store, buy cheap spray bottles and transfer your liquids to those.  These sprayers are low quality and sadly I have like 10 of them.  Right in the garbage they will go.Not recommended :(
I've bought five of these over the last 2 years for various bottles of Griot's products I use and so far four of them have blown their internal seals and now leak fluid all over my hand as I spray. This is after maybe a dozen uses, sometimes less. If these sprayers were included with the products it wouldn't be so bad, but since Griot's sells them separately, this is inexcusable. That they call them the "finest" sprayer just makes it worse. I've found the sprayers I can get at my local home improvement store for half the price (including a bottle) are superior to this one. I'll continue to use Griot's other products, but for sprayers I'll look elsewhere.
If this is their "finest", I am pleased that I have not experienced their worst.  Although Griot's has some good products,,,,and some not so good,,,this one is miserable.  When using this with Speed Shine, it just lays big goobers of liquid on the car which then runs off everywhere.  I have tried several of those that I have,,,I once bought 3 of them,,,and they all failed.  I have a friend who details cars and he said that their old sprayers were fine but that he too hates this one,,,and he is a real Griot's bigot.Check out Chemical Guys for a really good one,,,,however some of their product too leave much to be desired, but their sprayer is good in the very fine controllable mist that it lays down.
Got mine with my bottle, I'm not stupid to pay $4 online for a sprayer. I've had it for over a year with countless bottle uses. And it sprays very nicely without using too much product. You got to know how to set the sprayer. Do you really need a manual for it?
I just spent some time with this on a dry 70 degree day. I washed the truck well and dried the paint with a shammi. The clay picked up some fine grain stuff and looks like an improvement. After removing the clay film with a towel, re washing and drying the yellow sap spots were the same. I could feel \ hear a difference when running my hands over the paint when dry.I can see that this DID remove some debris but it's a lot of work for sure.
I looked into a number of options for a clay bar. I used this clay today and was highly impressed.When using a clay bar to remove contaminants (bugs, bird droppings, tar, etc) remember to use clay lube / quick detailer liberally. I purchased Optimum No Rinse and diluted the solution into a Clay Lube / Quick Detailer spray. This worked great with the Griot's Paint Cleaning Clay.I had some significant contamination on the front of my SUV (mostly bug splatters). The clay worked wonders and removed everything visible to the naked eye. If the clay did not pick everything up on the first pass then I gently rubbed the area with the clay (applying lubrication as necessary) until it was gone.When using clay bar remember to do these things:1. Use clay bar on a freshly washed vehicle. I personally prefer to dry as well before doing the clay bar.2. Use lubrication with the clay bar (car soap and water, clay lube, or quick detailer)3. Apply protection after clay barring! The clay bar will remove wax. Always remember to wax after doing a full clay bar.Go with the Griot's clay and you will not be disappointed. I only used about 1/5 of the clay and will be able to re-use it. The clay was malleable and easy to work with. I wore nitrile gloves to protect my skin from chemicals and I made sure to keep the gloves wet so the clay would not stick.
Almost every Griot's product I have used has been amazing and their clay is nothing short of amazing. It works extremely well and is very economical compared to other brands. It comes in a nice reusable case and a little goes a long way.
Has MAACO repaint my 1998 Dodge Intrepid as the factory paint finally gave out.  POORIST quality of paint from MAACO. Tried to use this to get luster back, but failed.  Will NEVER go to MAACO again!!!!!!!!
Stays lubed up longer than other clay I've used.  It's also a little easier to fold than other clay I've used.  It comes in a nice water tight jar so it stays wet between uses.
Had some significant water spots on the windows on the 5th wheel. Can't say it removed them 100% but certainly got rid of 90% so that the windows look much better.
I use this clay with warm soapy water or with Griots speed shine and the car comes out smooth as silk.I tried all the other name brands and this is a better product.
Works great as clay, but it stains your fingers and sticks to everything.  Also, don't let the picture fool you...  The clay actually only fills a third of the container as pictured.There are better products out there, but this is a decent value for what you get.
This is a great product for removing unfortunate scuffs and paint transfer from your car.  My wife's car tends to get door hit a lot in her work parking lot.  While nobody hits the door hard enough to cause dings, we often see paint transfer.  With this product (lubricated with a mixture of dawn and distilled water), paint transfer from these careless jerks comes off in seconds.  It's never failed me.  Somebody hit my brother's truck bumper in a bar parking lot (go figure) and he was shocked with how well this cleaned it up.  Very effective.  It's paid for itself over and over.
After using this clay I just assumed clay was a pain to use. But after trying a different brand I know better. This clay falls apart while trying to use it! It also is a very mild clay which isn't a bad thing, but if you want better results, I recommend another brand.
I found this to be too soft - everythin on your hands and nails.  as such, it doesn't pick up everything either.  I had to go over the same surface 2 to 3 times to get glossy smooth finish.  Also the yellow color on the clays seems like added paint color.  it started coming off of the clay when going over the surface.  Not good.
I needed additional cleaning clay and went with Griot's Garage from previous reviews.  It turned out to be great and did an excellent job removing the grime from my cars and truck.  It makes washing and waxing the vehicles so easy, leaving a better than showroom polish.If you have never used clay on your car paint, try it, you'll love it...
I've used at least a half-dozen different clays and this is the best I've used. First, it's pliable. Second, it comes in a reusable  container. It works best if you use a detailer as a lubricant. - but water will work.
I use synthetic clay on a regular basis and thought I'd try Griot's clay just for kicks. This stuff is ludicrous! Works with so little effort that you don't realize it's doing anything until you run your hand over the area you just clayed and realize a baby's butt feels like sandpaper in comparison. Lubricate with Griot's waterless car wash or speedshine, or any similar product and you will absolutely be amazed at the results.While this product is not that drastically different from most name brand clays, it is about twice the size AND easy to break off and use only a portion instead of the whole chunk like some other products. Great stuff, as usual.
I haven't had any issues. It works great for charging my camcorder in the car. I just wish it wasn't so bulky.
We have inverters in both cars and I have noticed that most car chargers don't charge at a high enough amp rate to get the job done. What's good about this one is that it has a 1.1 and a 2.1 amp USB port and the 2.1 amp port will keep up with an Android's voracious appetite for juice.What is better is to use a real wall charger with this unit and you phone will charge faster.
My truck allows one of the 12vdc outlets to stay on all the time.  This way I can charge my phone while I'm in the store, etc.  There are USB charge connectors on this inverter, but I have to use the Blackberry charger to charge my Blackberry Bold... it's a problem specific to Blackberry.  Anyway, this inverter is good and can run most chargers.  Check the wattage before using with any high amperage tool battery chargers.
My experience is probably the exception since this unit has been bought by several hundred people and has a 4 star plus rating. Opened the package and lifted out. Thought I had a baby rattle. This is an electrical device. It shouldn't have loose pieces inside. Think electrical short and blowing up expensive electronics. I didn't even try to plug it in. I'm not blaming the seller. This is a manufacturer quality control issue. Unit packaging arrived intact.
it's the perfect car charger! 2 USB and 1 outlet.... you can't go wrong..got it in 2 days she really happy with it. thank you bestek for making a great produce!
It's great to go on a vacation or a long drive and have something which I can easily use to recharge my digital camera, android pad, Nintendo, iPod, and plethora of other small electronic devices while on the road and in the car.  This worked great!  I love that I can plug something into it that has regular household prongs and that it has a USB adapter for charging the small electronics.  I would not plug anything that requires much voltage such as blow dryer or space heater, but for a small radio, cell phone charger or light, it works nicely!  And it tilts so that if you need to adjust it somewhat you can do that.I now keep one in each car.  Really nice to have if you need to charge something along the way.
I am using this to charge my cellphone with the USB 2.0 plug and it charges very fast.  Makes a very good connection with my cigarette lighter outlet and the swivel function allows me to move it out of the way from my gear shifter.  Works great and Prime free shipping makes it even better.Very happy so far with my purchase.
This is a great product. It works well, more than one device can plug in at a time and work fine. It also can be hidden easy.We went out to camping and plugged in ipad, cellphone and a led bulb. This power port was in use constantly, mostly with ipad. There were no issues with loud noise from the unit and it never got hot or appeared to be overheating.
While boondocking,I  use this inverter inside my RV to connect my ROKU box to a 12 volt receptacle. It works just fine and doesn't use up a lot of power like it would if I used a full-size inverter like a 300-400 watt inverter.  I love this little inverter, and I also use it to plug in USB powered devices to charge also.  If you need a little inverter to power a cellphone, netbook or some other small powered electronic devices then this is the one to get.UPDATE:  When I first wrote this review I wrote it in regards to the previous model (75watt charger with a SINGLE USB port), and since then they now make one with two USB ports.  I've since purchased 2 more of these units.  My update is that the one with the single USB port allows you to hook up a triple gang outlet extension to this device and still use the one and only single USB port, and if you use the extension on the new dual USB model you can't access any of the ports if hook up an extension.  But, if you have no intentions on hooking up an outlet adapter to this unit, then the dual ports work wonders and either way you go these bestek inverter chargers are AWESOME.  I even own the 150 watt one.  By the way, I use these daily, actually all day long, and they stand up very well. I'm VERY satisfied!  Highly recommend!
With all the plug-in stuff you have now this is a really handy gadget. I use mine in an RV to power the TV, and at the same time have the option of charging my smart phone and/or laptop.
Had a some noise coming from the belts on the Z06 and this helped to cure one of those issues.
Looks and feels and fits like the 5 times more expensive Motorcraft OEM.It fits really well and coupled with the new belt, car is as quiet as has ever beenWe will see how long the bearing lasts
This is an idler pulley that fits many applications. It is made of stamped steel and comes with a reducer bushing to use with smaller diameter bolts if needed. The entire pulley including the bearing is made in China. That aside, it is not a bad product and I am pleased with the build quality.
Easy to install, low cost and completely silent. Much easier to buy parts here than standing in line at the local auto parts store dealing with lazy, incompetent employees.
I recently ordered this 800 watt unit. I liked the way its put together and all the saftey features the unit has. I installed the inverter in battery area in motorhome. I comes with 6 gadge cables. I just cut off the clamps and hard wired to the battery itself and mounted to underside of RV floor near chassis and battery. Inverer ran both... 22 inch flat screen and DVD player without much effort or much load on inverter. The TV and DVD player and xbox is setup is off a 4 plug receptical in RV itself.I did not want to have to plug tv, DVD and etc from house 110 recepticals and inverter receptical everytime we stopped the RV for the night or few days or run these items through inverter all the time drawing on battery when I had house current available.So I ran and installed UL junction next to invertor with cover . In the junction I ran up to TV cabinet 14ga 110 house wire. I spliced heavy duty 3 wire 14ga cord into house wire in junction box and place heavy duty plug on end into inverter receptical.In Tv Cabinet in RV I ran this wire to a lighted household light switch so I can see when inverter was on battery compartment ( which was outside hidden in compartment) then to a 110 Toggle switch on one side of the toggle switch.On the other side of  toggle switch I connected to the 110 shore ....rv power (when RV is plugged into at campground).The output off toggle went to double recepticals by TV, DVD, Xbox etc would use.I maked the toggle house current on one side and Invertor on other side of toggle switch.Now instead of switching wiring back and forth or leaving inverter running off RV battery I simply toggle back and forth between both souces of 110 power.The toggle can handle 110 current.... left ON.... middle OFF ....right ONAlso both sources of power can never be on to recepticals at same time. Works great
I have a 2000 watt Whistler inverter and am very happy with it (I wrote a review of it if you're interested).  The 2000W version is part of a solution (package? system?) I put together to supply power for a few items I'd like to have available in a power grid failure like a hurricane or an ice storm.Part of that solution is a pair of 12V batteries and a battery charger (NOCO Genius G7200).  The batteries supply the power to the 2000 watt inverter.  The charger keeps them ready or, if the grid is down, recharges them.  My problem was how to supply power to the charger if I deplete the batteries and the grid remains down.Turns out my NOCO charger needs only 150 watts to charge the batteries.  This Whistler 800 watt inverter can provide that without breaking a sweat, and only needs 80 amps DC to provide it (actually, to provide 800 watts, not just the puny 150 watts my charger needs).  My car's alternator provides 105 amps, way more than the Whistler 800 needs to max out.So I bought this item and now my car can power this 800W inverter that can easily and safely recharge the batteries that supply my 2000 watt inverter.  At the same time as it's charging the big guy, this 800W inverter has power to spare for lights and low-draw electronics (laptops, cell phones, cable/DSL modems, wireless routers, VOIP boxes, cordless phones, yada yada yada).You can buy the 400 watt version for a bit less if you like, but if your car will support the 800 watt version (80 amps minimum) why would you not opt for more power and flexibility for just a few bucks more?Nope, I don't work for these guys but I probably should :-)  And yes I'm a Viner but I paid for both this and the 2000w version and all the other goodies in that system.  Whistler makes a good range of products here.
This power inverter is awesome. So, you are reading this waiting to find out what that one thing is...it's the stupid fuses. Whistler decided it was a good idea to put them on the inside of the inverter instead of making it easy to replace them on the outside of it. But wait it gets better. They are soldered in which makes it a PITA to replace. The reviews say they don't blow easily, unless you are an idiot and hook the pos and neg up backwards. Then you deserve to spend the time to re-solder new fuses in. But seriously this is an outstanding inverter. I have already used it a bunch of times using drills, sanders, and a dremel in the first week of getting it. Other websites give a description saying it comes with 6 foot cables but thats combining both which are really 3 feet each (pos and neg). The terminals are on the wimpy side but who cares, this thing kicks butt. I wish it came with a digital display that shows the watts, volts, amps, etc like the larger units have. Its a perfect size and has the tabs on the base to mount it to whatever tickles your fancy. Don't expect it to come with the cigarette attachment thingy. Its too big and will blow your vehicle cigarette outlet fuses. Most people assume the mid size inverters come with it. They don't. Get over it. Just use the alligator clamps and throw it on your battery or be a man and hard wire it into your rig. Buy it right now.Edit...I just used this inverter to power a small George Foreman Grill! The cables got a little warm so keep an eye on them. Mmmmmm grilled cheese sandwich!!! What else can I run on this thing?!
I have tested our CPAP machines (2) with a portable battery and it works great.  Haven't tested how long the battery will last.  Product looks good with battery connectors and built in fan.
I'm using this with our solar panel battery bank.  Comes with fairly long (~6 feet) alligator clamps.  This is a modified sine wave inverter so be careful powering sensitive equipment like laptops, power tool chargers, printers, etc...
I was adding an off and on switch to my RV and these replacement cables were just right for the project.  Good product and they were delivered just as scheduled
Exactly what I needed.  Packaged fine.  Came quickly of course with Amazon Prime.Using it to parallel wire batteries for inverters for short term electrical outages of 24 hours or less.Pleased with the product. Bought two sets.
These were definitely what I needed to hook my 2 12v trailer batteries in parallel.  Very heavy duty and well made.
Used these to add a battery to my TT RV. Worked as required but you, like me, may have to drill out the lugs so they can fit. It was no big deal just an added step.
These cables are what they are and with that said, they function and are well put made (without any problems). I used them when I added a second battery to our 5th Wheel and they are the perfect length for this application. Good solid crimps and if needed you can drill out the smaller hole to fit your battery terminal connectors size.
Used this to patch my coolant overflow tank on my dirt bike. Must have on any dual sport tool kit.
I had a cracked plastic bumper that needed repairing. I first used this Kwik Plastic and found it somewhat thick and hard to use. When filling a small crack it is most difficult to get the mixture into the crack as the mixture is very thick. I don't believe this is what one needs fro a small crack. The repair materials need to be more flexible and more easy to drop ingot eh crack. Once this mixture had  hardened it is easy to sand and paid. I think it would have worked well with a large crack in the bumper. I went to a more liquid epoxy for my repair.
Not as flexible as I thought it would be . Can be sanded bu if joining two edges  together  { simple crack as opposed to total separated parts} it was a failure . Plastic bond opened up along crack lie.Wanted to make a plastic tab joining to larger part.After having a 1 inch crack  re appear on flat surface doubt this will do .Additional info:Tried to use to attach different plastics togetrher , not effective.This stuff is useless for any,  repeat any , bonding of plastics . Ends up like like glazing putty no permanent adhesion and breaks  off easily.I ould rate this stuff a zero star if possibe.UGH!
I tried twice using plastic weld to re-attach a plastic tab to plastic trim/molding and neither time did it hold up to any stress, resulting in the tab breaking again.  I am sure that there are certain applications that would be perfect for this compound, but it didn't work out for mine.To be clear, the weld held in place fine and it was not an issue with adhesion to the plastic, it simply did not have the strength to hold up to any stress/pressure at all.
Went on easy enough and dried to a hard material but did not work well on the type composite I was working with which was an old pellet gun stock. It does state may not bond some types of materials and I guess this was one of them.
High quality part .. I'm glad I installed it .. I'm sure it's going to make life easier in the future.
This valve looks like it is well made and should last.  I installed it and expect to be very glad when I drain the oil in the future.I ordered the one with the hose end since I need to direct the oil away from suspension parts that usually get sloppy with oil while draining.I have installed a suggested wire hose clamp to ensure that the lever does not accidentally move and drain my oil if bumped by brush or some other object.
This oil drain valve eliminates the need to hold onto a hot oily drain plug, worry about the seal of the plug, even finding the proper wrench. A simple lever (locking so it does not release prematurely) opens a ball valve. It works, its well made, I researched it a bit before buying it and did not find any issues. I will say it drains a bit slower, but that is pretty minor.
I had to use the ADP adapter to install it on my MDX.  Getting it all the way on was quite a trick because there was not quite enough room to rotate easily.  I did eventually manage to get it fully seated.  Now that it is on I love it.  Very easy to use and the tube makes the clean up a snap without any mess.I would certainly buy it again.
I put a full skid plate on the Wrangler and couldn't see dealing with a drain plug and oil dripping and running all over the thing, so this seemed like a good investment. I got the valve with the nipple, intending to attach a hose to direct the drainage. Should be squeaky clean!Can't imagine getting by without it.
It's a good quality valve, and the other reviewer is correct that it takes longer to drain. But oh so much better than handling that hot drain plug, dropping it in the oil pan, getting the drain oil running down your arm - - well, you know the drill....BUT WATCH OUT!! the valve is actually too easy to open.... running over some brush or twigs could easily slap the lever to the open position and it will stay there and not spring back --  then you'd better be watching your pressure gage and carrying 4 quarts of spare oil (yeah, right).  I got a small steel hose clamp and put it on the boss of the valve just above the lever (upper part of the valve in the photo). With the hose clamp snugged down and tightened up, it is absolutely impossible to open this valve. Yes, it's one more (small) step to loosen the hose clamp in order to drain the oil, but I think it's well worth the safety precaution.Would have been 5 stars except for this frailty.
I just picked this up for the second car I've installed one on. Sure, oil changes aren't the most difficult thing to do, by any means - but these seriously help. I don't end up getting oil on half of my hand, and dropping my drain plug into the oil tray anymore, which is nice. Just watch your arms, keep them out of the way, and turn the valve. Drain away. No more needing to replace crush washers, etc, as it never gets removed from the car.The valve itself is all solid brass - so I highly doubt these will wear out very quickly. I can imagine that, over 10+ years, perhaps these will leak, but they've done some pretty solid testing, and I doubt that will happen while I own the vehicle.To recap - Solid, clean, saves me 5 minutes when I do an oil change. (not to mention, it's MUCH easier to collect samples for an oil analysis!)If your vehicle is compatible, definitely get one, you won't regret it.
Installed on a 2012 Ram 1500. Very solid valve.  Tired of grabbing a hot oil plug. Last time I changed my oil I dropped the plug in the pan and it rolled into the drain hole of the pan and it almost overflowed. I was convinced I didn't need this valve until that happened. I used a zip strip for a safety latch that may or may not be needed. I also used a 3/8&#34; rubber vacuum plug to keep the tip clean. Some 3/8&#34; plastic tubing from HD and a gas can and I'm set for my next oil change. This valve will make oil samples and changes a snap. The valve does not protrude below the frame. I'm not an offroad guy but a simple spring hose clip or zip strip on the lever for a little added security is nice. I read the few negatives on this valve and don't believe them. If you are hitting enough stuff on the bottom of a truck to worry about this valve you may want to consider a thicker walled oil pan. Slow draining is not a problem for hot oil. I never change cold oil. I'm happy with this so far.
First off note that this will not fit the truck model equipped with the plastic oil pan, that has the large yellow quarter turn release oil drain plug.  This fits the trucks with the redesigned metal oil pan and removable bolt for draining the oil.When you remove the OEM oil pan bolt you will experience a rush of oil as 13 quarts of oil pours out.  With the Fumoto you have a more controllable flow as it is choked down into a smaller stream of oil.  It can also be flipped back to the closed position if you need to stop the flow of oil.  This model comes with a extended nipple, which allows for a hose to be attached for directing the flow of oil where you want it to go such as into an empty oil jug for the ease of recycling with no mess clean up.
Wow, I need this for all my vehicles.  I have it on my Dodge Durango and it went on easy and draining oil is now mess free.  Has been on for 15Kmiles and not leaks.  I would recomend this to anyone.
this piece is VERY easy to install, just like re-installing a regular oil drain plug (make sure you don't over-torque & strip the threads) then simply buy a few feet of 3/8 ID tubing and drain straight into an empty bottle. The valve has a lock on it so you'll never have to worry about the valve opening up on its own, and is extremely durable.
this is a very well made product, aircraft quality.... spring detent with notch then 1/4 turnthe notch is not deep, so I suppose it's possible for a well placed piece of debris to get kicked up perfectly and depress and turn it slightly to open it....  but honestly I think it would be lotto odds.... I've never seen someone report a failure, and anyone on the internet who did, I would be sceptical of....I've seen the hoseclamp thing to prevent the valve from turning, and while inventive, it seems to take the time savings of this product and throw it out the window...  so I did without.after a couple of months, it has not dripped a single drop (I park indoors with a mat under the car)the adapter is required without a doubt for all indented plugs and with it's washers, it gives you more flexibility as to direction to place the valve with varying tightness...it does drain much slower... think about 10 minutes for a complete drain as opposed to 2 by pulling the plug outright.... but no big deal as you are changing the filter and looking around checking stuff anyway.great product, enjoy!
This is exactly what I thought/hoped it would be... a beautifully engineered ball valve drain plug to make changing the oil in my car easy. I got the valve with the nipple because I wanted to be able to direct the draining oil right into the plastic gallon milk jug or washer fluid bottle so I can take it to be recycled. This way I don't even have to drain the oil into a drain pan first, then transfer to another container. I can just attach a short piece of 3/8" ID tubing to the valve and drain it directly into the container. If the container is getting full, I can just shut-off the valve, switch containers, and continue. No mess, not even a drop.
I learned about this from work, we are a meguires dealer and found out how much dirt there is after washing your car and how much of the junk can come out with your wash mit and damage your finish. This devise pretty much gets rid of that problem and nothing gets to the bottom of the bucket besides the grit. If your a DIY kinda person this is a hands down must have item !!
This item is well made and works as advertised.  It sits in the bottom of your bucket so dirt stays in that area and doesn't get on your brush or sponges.  I use a large handled brush so the brush sits higher now in the bucket and tends to be less balanced.  Not a deal breaker since the item keeps dirt off my car from scratching the finish so that is more important.
I was never really concerned with how I washed my cars until I bought a modern musclecar with a sensitive black finish. This grit guard does the same job as others that cost more, it keeps that dirt out of your wash water when using the two bucket method.
This is a great product and works as it should. I can't stand swirls in my paint and this is another ingenious product to help prevent them. I should have bought one of these years ago!
This baby fits right in your 5-gallon bucket and keeps the soapy water separate from the dirt and loose sediments that would scratch your car should you reach in with your towel and bring out grit and spread it all over your paint job.  Great item to have, wish I would have know this existed a long time ago.
Every time I wash the truck, there's the grit at the bottom under the guard. Works good, just need to have the correct size bucket as indicated.  Also, consider using the two bucket method - one bucket for clean soapy water, one for rinsing the mitt/sponge after working an area of the car.  the grit/grime can be rinsed off in the second bucket, then redunk in the clean water and repeat.
Well made and a good value.  We bought several of these, one for each bucket, and they keep the wash mitts and rags MUCH cleaner than before.  I'd buy them again.
says it fits the 12&#34; buckets but I got a 3.5 gallon and it barely makes it halfway... so if you're getting this make sure to measure at the bottom of your bucket for the diameter of this which is 10 point something? to be sure it fits.  it does it's job though to get rid of grit on my car wash pad
If you want a high foam car wash, look no place else.  This is a great price, and if you're just washing the one or two cars you own this should last a while.  I pair this with a foam blaster, you can buy the g-clean foam blaster here on Amazon for about $20, you can see my review on that there.  You can hardly see the car if you do it right, I normally mix 4oz soap and 4oz water and that's enough to wash the entire car.  So at only 4oz a wash, this should last a while.
I've tried many car wash soaps over the years. This stuff rocks!! The wax on my car is over 4 months old now and the wash still gives it that nice luster.
it clenas very well using the gilmoure foam gun, nice suds, better then other shampoos, but it leaves still soap spotes on paint, but much less than other products, and leaves the car with a nice shine, may be what i need is a pressure washer , maybe then the results will be even better with zero water or soap spots, but at the end its an excellent product, compared to other car shampoos, and i will keep using it in the future.
This car wash is the best I have ever used, really suds up and cleans very well you will like the smell of the wash.recommend this product.
I use this with a foam gun attachment to my garden hose.  Lots of suds.  i recently switched to using a foam gun with Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II and have had really good results washing my car.  The thick foam lifts dirt off the surface of your paint, minimizing risk of little particles making swirl marks on your paint.Make sure you rinse REALLY well however. I've noticed this soap leaves a little more residue than other soaps I've used in the past.
Not only this soap cleans better than other name brands such as Gold Class Wash Soap, when paired with foam lance and a gas pressure washer, will wow your neighbors with all the suds you leave on your vehicle.  You need to get the correct ratio of water and soap for thick suds.  Besides the visual effect, Chemical Guys soap cleans better than competitors.
Yeah! we'r in business now, you see how a small amount of this shampoo in a foam gun can actually clean my T-Rex Ford expedition, my car is big and this Shampoo does the job nicely, no more car wash shops, I have everything handy.I have ordered the Mr. Pink, I want to try it, can't wait to see the results!
I purchased this to try something new, and I wasnt disappointed. Has a wonderful aroma, soapy, and foams great with my foam gun. I will continue to use Chemical Guys Maxi Suds, My wife even enjoys when I use it on her car, doesnt just run like other products. Great buy..
This stuff works great on my car.  It smells good and my car is Clean after using it. Road grime and bird poop are no match for this product
This is AWESOME STUFF!!!  This was MUCH cheaper than buying brand G***t and the job it does is phenomenal!!  Used with the Gilmour 75QGFMR Foamaster Adjustable Multi Ratio Cleaning Gun, this makes a great combo and smells great!
Bought this in conjunction with the Chemical Guys foam blaster 6 foam gun. I don't know how some people say this can would last them a year- It ain't going to last me 6 months. This stuff suds well in the bucket but not so well in the foam gun which surprised me. The smell is OK and the red does stain my car wash brush so I have to hose it down a bit more to get the red out.
This is my first Chemical Guys product and I bought it to use with my Gilmour Foam Gun (the original Foamaster) and it works pretty well. The foam was really nice and thick for the foam gun and likewise while using it in my wash bucket. The cherry scent also adds to the experience. And you can't beat the price for the amount you get... 128 oz. (1 gallon). This will last me for quite some time.
Excellent product, ridiculous amounts of foam.  Highly concentrated.  Great value.I've used this on two car washes and I love it!  I use a small splash in a 5-gallon wash bucket, and an even smaller splash in my hose-connected foam sprayer.  Lather is thick, smell is good, and at my current use rates, I think this gallon size will last about a year.I plan to use in a pressure-washer connected foam cannon soon, which I hear is great.Can't really think of any negatives.Side note - I have no idea why Chemical Guys have so many different soaps.  This one is one of the cheapest, and I don't really know why Mr. Pink or Honeydew snowfoam would be any different/better, but who care, just use this one.
A gallon of this should last a long time.  I use one of those foamer guns and it makes a lot of suds.  As I said a gallon will last a long time.
I detailed for 12 years and have used and loved Meguiars, Griotts garage, Mothers and all the cheap brands and professional brands i have heard of. And while this stuff doesnt necessarily shatter expectations i would say it performed as good if not better in some categories than anything else ive used.#1- It sud'sed(?) up very nicely on par with griots garage at half the price.#2- it smelled great... i know i know not a big deal but hey it does#3-The suds lasted longer without refreshing in the bucket than anything else i have used#4- i did not have to go over some spots on my white car like i did with meguiars gold class soap#5- the price is great and not much product was needed.
I use this with the Gilmore 75QGFMR (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XTH1GY/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_5) Foamaster Adjustable cleaning gun.  The two together make fast work of washing our RV without the need for a bucket, and without risk of dipping a sponge or brush into dirty bucket water.  If you own an RV, you need to consider these two items!!  Foam on the soap top to bottom, use a soft bristle brush or sponge on a stick to wash top to bottom, rinse, and squidgy or dry with your choice of implement/towel.  I can get the whole coach done in about an hour if I want a quicky wash.. 2 hours if I do windows and wheels and touch-ups..
Makes nice bubbles, but not bad ones, and it washes the grime off fine.  I think it's a good product.
This is the best car soap I've ever use, it gently removes the dirt from the paint without causing swirls.I'm sold on this product.I had suds all the way down my driveway after I was done washing.Amazing product.
I have nothing bad to say about this product.  It mixes really well with water and does not leave any residue on your car when used properly.  I use this detergent along with a foam master and it produces a ton of soapy foam!!!
I don't let my car get in bad shape and usually wash it every week or two and coat it every wash with Optimum Instant Detailer (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015DIJ4A/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_img_sol_14), so I cannot speak to the cleaning ability of this shampoo.  It is pH-balanced, produces lots of foam in my Gilmour foam gun, and provides plenty of lubricity to allow my cleaning mitt to easily flow over the paint without swirls or scratches.  As I am starting to get low on the Maxi-Suds II, I ordered some samples of Chemical Guys Mr Pink and Chemical Guys Glossworkz Auto Wash for comparison.
This is a super plush wash mitt that is my current best pick for microfiber wash mitts. Highly recommended over cheaper micro fiber wash mitts as this will help reduce time spent washing and correcting paint vs saving a buck or two on price with others. Trust me when I say this, don't buy the other microfiber wash mitts on Amazon that are .50-2.00 cheaper because they are not the same! I have spent a lot of time detailing my cars and motorcycles along with lots of research regarding methods to improve my technique and have used lots of different kinds of wash mitts, but this is the best bang for your buck! There are currently 14 wash mitts/sponges in my garage ranging from this brand new chenille microfiber wash mitt to old nappy lambswool mitts, a wash sponge to everything in between. Some came from Autozone, K-Mart, and even some from other online retailers, but this is definitely the best you can get for scratch free washing of your clear coat finishes (with proper 2 bucket technique of course!). Buy this one for keeping your clear coat clean and use your old wash mitt for cleaning your wheels, exhaust, and other areas where light scratches are less of a concern!
Makes washing your car easy.  It is also easy to keep clean.  Just rinse and dry.  I wouldn't use with your hand in the mitt, I would just use it like a regular wash sponge.
I bought two of these and they are as good as there is available. However, there are other mitts just as good (maybe even the same mitt) for close to half price of this one. Not complaining, just trying to be helpful. I have no regrets on purchasing the Chemical Guys mitt, but, if you search around at your brick and mortar stores, you can find the same for less.\However, don't think for a second that the ones you buy on eBay from China are the same....... they're not worth the time of day IMHO. They're tiny, hold very little suds, and just don't have much of a purpose unless you have a little one who just &#34;has&#34; to help wash the car...... :)
Good job catching dirt and glide thru paint surface quicker than an average dollar store sponge. Problem is it keep slipping of my arm wrist so I ended up using it like a sponge, held it on my and and rubbed.to all small arm wirsts, BEWARE!
Can't believe how easy my job just became in washing my Dinosaur (Ford expedition) after I got this product.I am going to order a big amount of stuff from chemical guys,.Hey Chemical guys, keep up the great work. I like your products
This is a better quality mitt than you find at the auto parts store.  Very soft and seems pretty durable.  I've used it for about eight washes so far and then washed it in the washing machine inside out after each wash, and it still looks new.  I haven't noticed any scratches or swirls, but you do have to keep an eye on the mitt as you wash to make sure you don't get debris trapped in the fabric.
This thing holds TONS of suds! It's much thicker than I had originally expected (obviously, being that it'd dual sided). This gives it the great advantage of being able to hold onto more water and soap, giving it greater ability to dislodge gunk on your finish and gently whisk it away. I'm OCD about how my car is washed (I won't let the dealership touch it) and I love this thing! I've had nothing but great results, time after time. Follow the two-bucket wash method and you'll be amazed as well!
I like the idea, but when it is saturated with water and soap, it gets heavy to a point where the insides pop out.  Hard to explain, but I won't be buying this one again as a wash mit....maybe a buffer or something on glass.
Holds suds like crazy and easily picked up stains that I thought might be too stubborn for it.  Easy to clean as well; wrung out what I could,  flooded it from the inside with clean water, wrung it out again and now it's air drying over a broom handle.
This mitt is so fluffy and soft it will not scratch your paint! It has a lining inside which doesnt make it easy to flip while its on your hand so I used it as sponge more than a mitt.It came with a few loose threads (that would keep pulling) and that was annoying so I docked it 1 star.
This thing holds GOBS of suds and water. It's actually *heavy*, so if you don't have a good washing arm, you'll have to ring this thing out a bit when you take it out the bucket. But that means this thing is going to keep you from going back and forth to the wash bucket a dozen times while doing a wash.It's soft and glides over surfaces smoothely. I used this on a black car and it left no swirls.Always use a quality soap. I use Chemical Guys products exclusively - all of their soaps are wonderful.This is microfiber. So treat it like you would a microfiber towel - always rinse it out, and only use a good dedicated microfiber detergent. Once again, Chemical Guys microfiber detergent comes to mind. I love that stuff.
I bought this as a substitute for a lambswool mitt, but this wash mitt is too large, and it's very heavy and clumsy when wet. There's an inner lining that prevents spinning the mitt on your hand to expose the unused side, because this inner lining clings to your hand.Also, the microfiber &#34;fingers&#34; can easilty catch on car trim.I won't be using this again to wash my car.
I've tried a dozen different mits, and have always come back to these. They just flat out work great. If you rinse them properly, you never get the &#34;OMG - I just scrathed the H out of my paint!!!!&#34; Feeling, which is always dreaded.
After much debate, I ordered this, as I like to leave my tires/undercarriage until last.None of the stuff I have used in the past has been able to dwell on the rim until the end.This clings to it without compromising clear coated rim. My Murano dumps brake dust badly. I do recommend to agitiate with a proper wheel brush.The smell, while pleasant, can be a bit overwhelming.Will probably try their Signature series wheel cleaner next at this link:Chemical Guys (CLD_203) Signature Series Blue Wheel Cleaner - 1 Gallon
Spray, let it sit about 10 minutes and hit the wheels with your cloth/brush/pad of choice. I used a well-worn Scotch-Brite sponge and worked great for removing the years' worth of brake dust on a Saturn Ion (previous owner was detail-challenged).Still needed the elbow grease, but not much. Using 1 part cleaner to 3 parts water it still sprays as a semi-gel; this should last awhile (I only used 1/3 of a spray bottle diluted). Good stuff.
A lot of wheel cleaners I have used in the past always seem to have a strong chemical smell that can get nauseating. I love using diablo, my rims are 15 years old and this product brings them back to new. If your serious about your wheels first buy this but then invest into some great wheel brushes and even a lug nut brush to keep them like new. It really works well at repelling brake dust but if you have some beautiful rims and recommend to follow up with the Chemical Guys wheel guard. it does wonders at keeping wheels clean and shiny and when your next wash come around the particles just come right off and nothing really sticks like it would on an untreated wheel. KEEP IT UP CG!
I purchased these for my new rims and did not like it at first.Apparently I don't understand dilution ratings for the gel and didn't use enough with water.Highly recommend getting the Chemical Guys spray bottles that have the ratios and are very durable.This stuff really works and requires very little work especially with the Daytona speed master
I bought this stuff and it didn't clean anything off my chrome rims.  Worthless crap.  wouldn't mind getting my money back for this red bottle of goop.
This is a very good product. I've used Meguiars and Mothers wheel cleaners, and this one works the best by far. Previous product have a lot of trouble getting the dirt and grime from around the nuts. The Diablo gel works really well and takes the most dirt out compared to any other product I've used.I put this in a spray bottle, and it works great. It cleans well and leaves a really nice shine.
I have a closet full of detailing products and I'm always willing to try something new. After having some very positive results with other Chemical guys products I ordered the Diablo Gel. It's good if you don't want to spend a lot of money. This makes about a gallon of product at a quarter of the price of Griot's Heavy Duty Wheel cleaner. That being said, I think Griot's is that much better. The diablo is fine for my weekend car which doesn't produce a lot of brake dust. My daily driver is a Carrera S4 which makes a lot of brake dust, so I need the Griot's. If your wheels don't need a harsher wheel cleaner and a lot of elbow grease, buy the Diablo Gel and save some money.
I used scrubbing bubble and baking soda and an eighteen volt drill. It took me fifteen minutes to remove grime that I was not able to remove manually even after hours of scrubbing.
Bought based on the great reviews.  After having a Meguiar's pad denigrate on the drill, I was skeptical.This saved a pair of 12 year old heavily used floormats, had amazing results on my plastic weathertech liners, Made the trunk floor look like new, and along with SpotShot worked magic on white residential berber carpet.  All in a day's work.The bristles are just rigid enough to hold up well, but still soft enough to not damage most surfaces.I used myMakita LXT211 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-Piece Combo Kitand it just went to work.  You could see instant results, especially on the floor mats where the dirt was visibly ejected as the brush spun the carpet back to life.This fits in a standard chuck and holds tight even with tough use.  After a couple weeks of heavy use, it looks a little worn but still plenty of life left in it.Would definitely recommend.
I only paid $12 for my item and it was the best deal I've ever gotten. When attached to a high power drill this thing is awesome and takes all the effort out of cleaning carpets.
If you detail your own car all the time this is a must have i only use it on carpets but imagine it would clean up anything well for carpets this is the coolest thing invented I swear i can't tell you how many times i've cut my hands scrubbing by hand on seatrails and such this thing makes the job go quick and easy
Very solid.  Looks like it will last a long time.  Bristles are tough and scrub well, without too much risk of scratching surfaces as you would with a wire brush.
Had really bad stains in my trucks carpet.  It did a great job of making the job easier and lifting out the dirt.  Probably need to be sure you have a shop-vac.  I do and can't imagine not having one as part of this cleaning process.
Great drill attachment. I used this on the bathtub and tile surround and it does a great job of cleaning. I put some water and soft scrub on it and go to town. Would recommend to anyone looking to a tile scrubber. Keep in mind that it is quite big. Took me by surprise.
Great little tool, wish I had one sooner!  So far I've used to clean tires and tried it on the bathtub and worked great.  I could say many uses for this tool!  Make sure you get the correct bristle stiffness for the job you are doing.  This one is medium duty, and probably better suited for carpets, bathroom, and other surfaces that won't tear it up too much.  While it did work for tires, the bristles on the yellow one a tad too soft for that.  High quality construction and the part that fits in the chuck is hexagonal so it allows to apply as much torque as your drill can put out without slipping in the chuck.
Not good for cleaning tubs. I believe the description said it would work on tubs/bathrooms. This took a lot of elbow grease to do anything. I ended up using theDico 541-786-21/2 Nyalox Cup Brush 21/2-Inch Blue 240 Grit which worked great.
Mounted on a hand drill, Chemical Guys ACC-201 medium duty brush, with medium stiff, yellow, 0.9" high bristles, is very good tool for general cleaning.  The bristles are firmly seated into the hard plastic circular base, and won't easily be dislodged by pressure being applied to the brush.  The medium stiff polypropylene bristles will bend, rather than break, so it should work reasonably well on most carpets.  If you have a reversible drill, you might want to change directions periodically, to avoid having the bristles bent over too far to one side.The shaft is hexagonal, to provide a secure grip in the drill chuck, and provide a good amount of torque.  You can apply a good amount of pressure to this brush, which makes it very good for harder surfaces like sink, tile, granite, wood panels, and concrete.  Scratching shouldn't be an issue on these harder surfaces, but you should exercise care on softer materials.  The bristles aren't metal, so they will wear down, but under normal use, this brush should have a decent usable life.There are some more expensive drill mounted brushes, which makes the Chemical Guys brush a good value buy.  The price fluctuates, so if you do a lot of cleaning, you might want stock up when the price dips.
This is excellent for car interiors! Great for scrubbing carpets.First wet the carpet with water/cleaner/GP, let it soak then come in with this bad boy and it will clean anything.Awesome for seats too! Just make sure you have the soft or medium one if you use it on your seats.This is also excellent in the bathroom, getting soap scum off the shower, cleaning floors in bathroom and more.Lot's of uses! A+ stuff!
It cuts up surprisingly easy, and you can stick it about anywhere.  But just remember this stuff works through it's density - and it's dense.  Very heavy.  On my big Mercedes, it doesn't really matter as the suspension is hydraulic and adjusts itself anyway.  But for lighter cars you may notice it if you use 5-6 rolls of it.As far as efficiency - boy does this stuff work!  It makes those long trips as easy as sitting in your living room easy chair - literally.  Noise/vib takes a very heavy toll on your energy, and will affect your mood, exhaustion etc.  Get the most dense you think you can get away with.  It can be a pain to put in, but you'll be glad you did.Everything you've heard about the bass from your speakers is true.  This stuff absorbs so much hi pitch sound that the bass just blasts through.  Most people are amazed by this when they hear it.  Frankly I could care less but it is a nice little side affect
If you are anticipating  whether or not to buy this you better think again! Amazing product for any vehicle! Put it in a single cab 4x4 ranger and it was plenty enough to do the floors, rear wall, all of the doors. This product made it so quiet I couldn't even hear the engine running. Even driving I could barely hear the little v6 humming. That alone did it for me! The tar smell is the only reason its not getting 5 stars. Yes it goes away but lingers for the first week or so. Great Product!!!!!
My wife's 06 Kia Sportage has a very growly engine.  I never considered it that bad, but it bothered her.  I lined under the hood and some areas around the engine.  It quieted the bit of engine &#34;growl&#34; just enough that it no longer bothers her.Here is why I say another star would be possible for this product.  These cheap auto's have a lot of cheap plastics for wind control under the front bumper.  Ours had a lot of cracked pieces but no way to bond them back together.  This stuff is SO adhesive that I was able to get everything back together by lining the insides of all of these pieces and then mount back on the car.  I've never found a product that has more uses than noise control in my life.  If the adhesive holds up well to the elements, all the better.  Brilliant product for people who don't want to pay out the leg to a dealership, or wish to fix subtle sound issues on their own.
I put this FatMat sound deadener under the front half of our 30-foot RV. I would have kept going but that's as far as one roll went. I cut it in short strips, raised the RV as high as I could, crawled under it and spent the morning pealing the backing off and sticking this stuff on the floor and engine housing. It's easy to stick on. The hard part was reaching around things like mufflers, drive shaft, etc. The dirt has to be wiped off so the FatMat will stick.I took the RV for a short spin after installing it. It's amazing how quiet it is inside now. And I mean amazing. No road noise at all. I was hoping for a little bit of improvement but all I can say is WOW! Money well spent. I'm now thinking where else I can put this stuff.
This comes with a roller and a cutting blade. The roller is low-quality so I recommend getting something more durable if you're going to install a lot of this, but the knife will serve you very well.  The cost per square foot of this product is absolutely fantastic and it works every bit as well as more expensive products.While I installed in mid-70 degree (F) weather, I advocate the use of a heat gun with a roller to ensure the most uniform adhesion -- especially if doing the roof of a vehicle.  Expect a bit of a synthetic, 'new car' type smell for 2-3 weeks after the installation, simply due to the composition of the product.I gave it 4 stars.  It'd get 5 stars from me if it were completely odorless.
I thought Liquimoly was sold as Lubromoly in north America.  Same product I know, i just expected to receive LUbromoly but got Liquimoly with a big made in Germany logo on itI'm still not sure I'm going to add this to my M1-0w-40.  I do yearly low mileage oil changes, and am at about 10 months now.  I read Moly can become corrosive in the presence of water.  Since I do so much short trip driving, perhaps this product is not a wise additive for me.  I am also leery of additives, but this one and this company are respectable.I have this annoying valvetrain noise which was greatly diminished with new M1 0w-40 but has since returned.  I bought this to see if it makes a difference in noise it seems only I can hear.
very good A++++++++++++++ recommend to all old car or high mileage
I bought this product because my car has 198,000 miles and i hoped this would reduce engine wear, we'll see!
I see a lot of reviews stating that they feel cheated because they didn't see an increase in fuel mileage. I'll be honest that I didn't really buy it for fuel mileage, but to provide an increase in engine lubricity. Does it really work? Or is it snake oil? Hard to tell; modern engines and motor oils don't really have wear-related engine failures anymore, except at extreme mileages.But I feel better about things.
Put this into a Jeep 3.7L V6 engine. After one full tank of gas, I'm not really able to notice any mileage gains, reduction of engine noise under the hood, and definitely can't be certain about a reduction of friction.If I had some performance increase or a reduction of fuel consumption, one might assume friction is reduced. I however, have not been able to notice any of those things.I'm somewhat skeptical about this additive. It may work great....I personally just can't confirm it. I'll give it more time and edit this review if something improves.
Good for &#34;start-stop&#34; engines like the Prius.When the engine is stopped, the oil pump is not running.  Eventually the oil drains off of the piston rings and other mechanical parts.Molybdenum disulfide or MoS2 has been well known for its lubrication abilities.  It is retained on the metal parts even when the oil drains down from the engine parts.Here is where this product prevents engine wear.  I'm not worried or expect mileage gain.
There are only two proven friction modifiers on the market, with a third (ceramic) on the horizon.  The first one is ZDDP which might be the best but you should NOT use it on modern vehicles that use a catalytic convertor as it will harm it!  The other proven friction modifier is molybdenum, and this product is full of Moly.  The difference between Moly and ZDDP is that Moly HAS NO DOWNSIDE!  Except for idiots who get it on their shirt.  It is a product that is already in most oils.Now there are many other products out there, solvents, PTFE (Teflon) slick 50, detergents like Prolong, but all of these products have risk that is unnecessary to take. My first advice is too just run a high quality synthetic oil and nothing else is needed.  However, if you are someone who feels better adding something to your oil this is the only product I recommend with the exception of MMO.  Marvel Mystery Oil also has some lubricating qualities and a naphthenic solvent that is harmless.  I use Lubro Moly on my new cars for breaking in, and in my Toyotas as they have sludge issues and this stuff really smooths out those rough engines.To give this product a bad review is to not understand engine dynamics and oil products in general.  It would be like saying the slick stuff in oil itself is bad for your engine.  Listen people that is just not the case.  There are no miracle products out there but this one is beneficial to all engines!!!  Run it in your lawn mower and you will be amazed at the lack of smoke at start up!Have a Good Day
I've used this LM Mos2 in numerous vehicles; including an '07 F150, '03 Corolla, '70 F100, '07 Mustang, '97 Civic, '98 Escort and many more. It still always surprises me that all cars i've added it to run smoother and quieter.The stuff isn't snake oil either, it's just Molybdenum Disulphide. Most oils that use Moly, utilize an organic form of Moly. These types reduce friction but don't seem to make the engines run smoother/quieter as does the Mos2.Well worth the money.
I used this in my ford crown vicroria 97, and the difference is most definitely noticeable. The engine runs so smooth, sometimes I forget the engine is running. This stuff simply makes the engine a tank.
I've always been skeptical of engine additives, but decided to give Liqui Moly Anti-Friction Oil Treatment a chance after reading various articles and forums online praising the product and company. I added the entire can to my BMW M50 engine along with my scheduled oil change. I am currently a little over 100 miles on my new oil and there is already a considerable difference in my engine's response and feel.Just to clarify, my engine was performing quiet well before adding this product. This additive will not turn a neglected engine into a factory fresh engine. If you are expecting this, save your money for a rebuild instead.So far I've noticed my engine is quieter, smoother, has less vibrations at idle, and has a slight increase in MPG, according to my car's on board computer. On top of those perks the additive also reduces wear and tear on crucial engine components.I'm looking forward to the next thousand miles as the product sets in and will be including it in my scheduled oil changes from now on. To clarify, the additive needs to be added during each oil change for continued results. I will likely had half a can next time for my particular engine. You need to add 50ml for every quart of oil in your engine according to the instructions on the can. However, some are claiming to add half the amount after the first treatment.I would strongly recommend giving this additive a chance if you want to thoroughly protect and get the most performance from your engine. I also plan on using the Liqui Moly line of products as this particular product has exceeded my expectations.
i have used this in my new car after lot of research and noticed engine is quiter and smooth definitely pickup is better  and also definitely it reduces friction little bit of milage is also improved
Very concentrated and worth more than the cost. Buy the gallon, and it's even cheaper. Love the suds, huge! Definitely brings out the shine in the paint and dries extremely clean. I thought Griots Garage was great, but this beats everything I've tried hands-down. Don't bother with otc detergents, they are nowhere near concentrated as this and suds always sucked. I was impressed that it also worked well on the tires, wheel wells, and getting the brake dust grime on the wheels. This is my go-to wash product.
This is the first time that i have bought and used this product on my 09 chevy impala and overall really impresssd. Over the last 2 years i have been trying alot of different products on my car that will be able to really get it clean everthing from turtle wax ice- meguries wash. I couldent find anything that really worked till now. The product worked overall pretty good got alot of dirt of the car and so sap but the main thing that i liked is that i set the car up for a good wax since it already included a base wax.
The smell is great, smells like a purple otter pop really. Plenty of suds and isn't harsh enough to remove my wax. Overall great product and would order again.
like i said before you just cant go wrong with chemical guys car care products and this is a great product...makes the car shine and has a pleasant smell like grape soda and it goes a long way ...
This works great, leaves a nice gloss and no residue. It also is slippery enough to prevent friction of the dirt and grime rubbing to scratch and leave swirls. If you love your ride, use this.
one of my fave car washes.  its really thick and foams up nicely.  cleans the car with out stripping off wax so car doesn't have the dull appearance like with some other washes or dish soap.
very good A++++++++++++++ you want your car run good and boost up..then use it. Recommend for serious.
I put the this additve in oil and found this product did its job in a matter of a 2 days, cutting sludge
Used this in my truck and my car, it seems to be helping
Good Intake Valve Cleaner.You really do feel the difference right away. The car accelerates better and drives smoother. I've bought all sorts of stuff over the years including seafoam and I've never seen an instant effect like this product has. Customer for life.
As soon as i added to my petrol tank nosie in engine running was smoother works great my car has done 279000 km was shaking when ideal i can see the difference its all gone its a brand i always trusted improved my pick up also
Yeah, this stuff is pretty impressive. I am very pleased with both the results of a very basic go over the dash and door panels, the smell is actually GOOD, and it isn't greasy, nor does it leave streaks. It really does transform the look of the car instantly. Another thing I really like is that it isn't too runny, like my former go-to dressing was. The finish left by this is very pleasing, and I absolutely love the pleasant smell.I've only used this on the interior of my car. I've read a couple other reviews where people talk about it not working well on the exterior- I can see that happening. I think this is meant to be more interior than anything. To help guide people in the right direction, due to Chemical Guys' dizzying and incredibly confusing product selection (which is a real headache), I would like to recommend that this product be used on interior panels only and TVD_105_16 - Liquid Extreme Shine be used on the exterior. The two compliment one another quite well. I really hope that helps someone...
Great for any plastic surface. Even worked wonders in helping clean the grime off (Ok don't laugh it fits sideways in the garage with the three other vehicles) my Suzuki Samurai. Dressed the dash, tires, door panels, and anything plastic I could rub my rag on. Awesome job repelling the dust and dirt and giving a great long lasting sheen.
Ive been looking for a good tire dressing for a while now. This is it people. Great product with a reasonable price. Ive tried their silk shine too for interior dressing. Both product can be trusted to work. I think I will use chemical guys product in a long time. I hope chemical guys will continue to make great products.
Great stuff, easy to use, super shine. I haven't found a bad Chemical Guy product yet, the stuff just works great!
My only regret is not buying a gallon of it, , I bought the 16oz bottle but still will last me being a little goes along way.I've been detailing my own cars for years and must say its the best dressing I've ever used.Great shine that last, I use it on my interior as well.I'm sold on this product.
Everyone should have a.few.ofnthese dispensers if you dont know what you would use.it on you will be shoked at how much use you will getnout ofnit once you get some. I bought 1 then 3 more days later hehe
Fits great on Chemical Guys soap cans. I tried to find one at Lowes or Home Depot and they didn't have one. My only gripe is that this thing drips soap out when it goes back up so I have to put a towel underneath the nozzle to catch the drip otherwise, it can ruin the surface it drips on.
It is nice that it meters out 1oz of product per pump, this makes it easy to use soaps and such that have a fairly specific dilution ratio. Chemical Guys products usually specify 1-2oz of soap per 4-5 gallons of water. Obviously nobody is going to carefully measure their dilution ratios so they can wash their car.1 or 2 pumps, whatever makes me feel froggy that day. Citrus Wash & Gloss or Mr. Pink, either/or - doesn't matter.My only complaints on these pumps are that if you tilt the gallon jug over, product will leak. Also when you are done pumping, a little more will dribble out. The way to combat this is to tilt the container over to drain the top portion of the pump, and voila - no more drips. Either way, you'll be best to hit the end with a rag and probably not let it drip down on expensive stuff. Like your buffer/polisher.Unfortunately, trying to find gallon pumps anywhere is like a needle in a haystack and the options are limited here. Small variety and this is probably the only worthwhile pump on Amazon. At over $8 a piece they are also kind of expensive.But hey - would you rather fight a funnel and a heavy jug when you want some chemical?So a cool thing about these is that they screw down into place. Unfortunately, when you screw the pump down and lock it, it's also the very same as hitting the pump one time. So make sure you have that rag ready... but it's nice because my garage shelving is *JUST* a tad too short to accommodate the Chemical Guys gallon containers and this pump extended. Such is life, tho... Just have to fight locking them into place and losing that ~.5oz of product every time.
This pump is not nearly as good as I was lead to believe.It leaks the car wash liquid and microfiber detergent so even after you are done, it continues to drip, making a big mess. Maybe it works better with something thicker, like a wax.I regret my purchase and would have been better off just pouring the liquids out of the container instead.
To dispense household cleaner.  The knob screwed onto the jug and tight (these must be industry standard, but I don't really know.  The jug is rectangular and the original lid diameter is about 1 1/4&#34;).  One push dispenses a decent amount, may be a bit more than an ounce.  The stream is strong and will splash, so a gentle push.  Only problem is that it leaks a dozen drops or so of the liquid after dispensing.  I am keeping the jug on a shallow pan.
This product is a great addition to your car care regimen.I use mainly as a maintenance wash between weekly 2 bucket washes.You will end up using lots of this, I have to agree with buying the gallon with a kwazar sprayer you can get here:http://www.amazon.com/Agri-Pro-Double-Mist-Trigger-Sprayer/dp/B003J5HYFCor an atomizer which is here:http://www.amazon.com/418-1-Liter-One-Hand-Pressure-Sprayer/dp/B000BX4VXI
It works great in a pinch, however the CG Hose-less (no rinse) product does a WAY better job!  It does leave a nice finish, but IMHO is best used when the car is not that dirty.NOTE:  You need ALOT of towels to wash a car with this stuff, almost one a panel.
I was impressed. SO far I haven't noticed any scratches that I would think could be possible from wiping the surface without it being clean. The "haze" that it mentions is very, very light.  I have not noticed it streaking either. I think the towel you use is really important with products like this. I use super thick microfiber one with great results. I will buy this again. Maybe I'll go for the super concentrated kind next time.
I like to use this stuff after a wash the car with water. What I like to do is spray it on the microfiber that I am using to dry the car and it makes the car shinny and helps clean up any spots that I miss.
This is the BEST waterless car wash solution available. I am NOT affiliated with the manufacturer whatsoever...just to make that clear. I have tried EVERY supplier out there and I love almost everything by The Chemical Guys.
Love these towels. They grip really well and don't stain easily. The nap is strong and doesn't tear when scrubbing hard.
I bought these to replace ones I had from Costco that ive had for years.Love these towels,very absorbant.I wont make the same mistake I did with my other ones though.Make sure when you dry them that there is no dryer sheet in the dryer,this will make them not so absorbant.
I would recommend these towels.We use them, and microfiber is one towelthat won't put scratches and swirl marks in a paints finish.All microfiber works well but low price towels may notresult in the best quality product.Remember, if you buy cheap you get cheap, and my car deserves the best.Show Car Guys All Purpose Microfiber Towels 16" X 16"- One Of The Best Microfiber Cleaning Cloths There Is.

I've tried a lot of microfiber towels over the years and these are the best yet. They absorb water very good and will last a long time. Recommend for detailer and enthusiasts.
These are great for cleaning, very absorbent.  I had another brand (zwipes) before I got these and I thought they were great, but these are even better and hold far more liquid and hold up better in washing.  Yellow is our favorite color. The color doesn't bleed, no lint.  They are super soft and I just throw them in with the rest of the towels while washing.
You receive plenty in the package- and they do exactly what they claim- no little fuzzies left behind and they absorb well.  They seem  sturdy enough to reuse- but I haven't yet put them to much of a test, as I have only used them once.  I would reorder this product again.
My paint felt like sand paper. I wanted to use the meguiars clay bar kit but i realized that this was cheaper. I purchased this and it worked great! I used this and I used the meguiars quik detailer spray, and my paint felt smooth like the day that I purchased my car! This product is probably better than the name brand clay! I highly suggest you to give this clay bar a shot. You will be amazed on how fast and efficent it works!
I used a bucket of distilled water instead of the clay lube. As long as the clay is kept wet it works great, but don't run out of water it will stick to your paint. It takes a lot of elbow grease to get the rail dust (rusty looking spots) off of a white car.
I'm very familiar with Meguiars and Mothers brand clay bar kits which both contain two 80 gram clay bars, so I thought getting two 100 gram clay bars would be awesome for when I run out of my other clay bars, then I won't need to buy a whole new kit every time I run out.Well, I started noticing some bad reviews on this particular clay bar, so I decided to open mine up and start kneading it and it does feel less pliant and almost a little rough, not as soft as the Meguiars or Mothers clay bars. Maybe it's the difference in brands? I don't know. But after reading the negative reviews about this product saying it scuffs paint and leaves residue and then feeling the difference in my hands, I'm really inclined not to use this product at all. My car has been pretty much repainted because of past accidents and road debris hitting my car. I think the only original paint on my car is what's on the roof. I keep my car in immaculate condition as much as I can, so I can't say I'll take the risk with this clay bar. It may be better to use the package deal clay bars that you can find in Mothers and Meguiars. Those are both great clay bar kits.I sent the clay back and got a full refund including shipping. It definitely wasn't worth risking damaging the paint. I had a new clay bar left over from the Mothers kit and I must say, BIG difference. A lot of people think it's all a gimmick, but I could really tell the difference. Plus the Mothers clay bar kit is not that much at all considering what you get. At least I can say I tried this product and can have an opinion to share. I'll stick with what I know works.
Works as well if not better than more expensive bars that come in kits.  Worked great with the Turtlewax ICE system.
I own my own auto detailing company and I love this product because the quality is right on and the price is great. I typically get around 8 cars per package of clay. Love this product.
Well At least Ive never heard that before but I will say it about this product. The jack was unabable to lift my car high enough for the 2 ton jacks reccomended along with this product. So unless you have a dam even driveway get a jack that can lift a little bit higher.
Does what its supposed to, though I had the same issue as other users where slightly lowering the jack causes it to lose almost all pressure. This ended up lowering my car down pretty forcefully - enough to set off the car alarm and make it sound like i had dropped my car.Though this can may be avoided if you don't tighten the jack too much before using it (if you tighten too much, loosening will be uncontrollable), I would think a slow release would be a necessary safety feature to have on something like a floor jack.
So, for $30, I wasn't expecting the jack to end all jacks.  This one is actually pretty good.  It goes up quick, has a nice little rotatable thing on the jack point that lets you encapsulate those little jack points on your car perfectly, and it definitely gets the car off the ground for several hours just fine.One of the problems is the release mechanism is too touchy - I've accidentally turned it too fast at least 3 times now, and the car has basically fallen to the ground.  You have to be extremely slow and methodical when releasing this jack.  Another issue that's not too big of a deal is the noise it makes when you get a bunch of weight on it - right before I get a wheel off the ground on my car, the handle gets hard to pump and eventually the jack makes a chirping sound and continues as it was.  This is weird, and makes it feel a little unsafe, but it's probably fine.  The third con is that it doesn't go high enough.  Definitely take a look at the listed height before buying and make sure 13 inches is high enough for you.
Use this for some light car repairs.  Easy to follow instructions and sturdy quality. Stores nicely, but once assembled can  not be stored in the original box.
Light duty is this jack. This means you can't expect it to be stout and smooth as a jack costing 10-20 times as much but what fool buys this thinking it will? What it does do is raise my mid size Altima SER with great ease. The spring makes noise and there are some interesting sounds as it loads up but it was smooth in both directions when handled smoothly and slowly as well. Go slow, on level concrete and you won't have a problem. Once raised I place a stand under it and left it just below. This made my first brake job a dream. If you plan to use this weekly or 20+ times a year then get a real jack and pop the appropriate money but for a once a month use then this is a great find!
Thankfully I had this jack when my RV had a blowout in the rear on the highway. I was able to get my tire changed and kept on going. This is a great little jack for a heavy truck. I really do love it.
My 3 ton Craftsman floor jack was starting to slowly loose pressure and I saw this Powerzone jack on the Amazon Lightning Deal for $120 so I grabbed one. It is much better than my craftsman. It lifts much faster and lowers way smoother. It seems like a decent quality piece of equipment and so far I'm very happy with it. It was packaged well and shipping was fast.  I would recommend this jack without hesitation.
So far so good, a quality jack made of strong material. Can't beat free shipping to an APO address. The jack sits nice and low and you can pump it from any level. Also, the 18" raising height can't be matched for this price and quality. Would definitely buy again!
It is an excellent car jack for the money.  I spent weeks researching and comparing products and the Powerzone 3 Ton jack was the best price\value lift out there.  Dont take your chances with cheep options at the 1/2 the lifting power.  Very well built. Lifts my Mustang and Altima with confidence every time.
I've used this jack several times now to raise and lower a Jeep.  It works great and holds pressure to keep the vehicle up.  Be sure to use jack stands before you get underneath the vehicle!
Great jack for the money.  Fits nicely under my sport package equipped BMWs (E46, E90) and works well with the factory jack points.  Great range and easy to lift/lower vehicle.  This is my first "nice" jack and I am happy with the purchase.
Pretty low. Pumps quickly. Good combination of aluminum and steel. All the necessary parts are steel and supporting parts are aluminum to reduce weight. Slightly. It's still heavy though because it has a lot of steel. But I feel more comfortable having a heavy steel jack anyway. Best jack I've owned.
Written January 2013:  For as big and heavy duty as it is, it's not very heavy since it has some aluminum parts.  Very easy to use, straight out of the box.  Great jack.  Nice handles on the sides that I use.  Most others don't have them.  Update September 19, 2013.  It started to leak a little oil the first month, but then stopped before I even looked for the problem, so maybe it just had too much.  No dripping since.  Important measurements:  It starts at 4" and goes up to 18 3/4".  It is 25" long and 12" wide.  I like how it goes up quickly when there is no load on it, then slows down when there is weight on it.  I still recommend it.
I wanted made in the USA floor jack, but at the moment I only found one mfg; Hein-Werner and their products come at a price (over $400 for a 3-ton jack). Knowing this is made in China, I wanted to have 1-ton margin (my car weighs 2-ton) as many Chinese-made jacks have poor reputation (I would not lift a 3-ton vehicle with this jack).Overall quality seems good for a Chinese product, but after several use the front wheel shaft seems to have bent by 2-3mm (one wheel touches the ground but the other idles unless loaded) but does not affect use. All 4 wheels are made of steel and seem robust; they probably would not explode as would on some resin-made wheels.  The rubber on the lifting pad is a nice addition.  Lifting is easy; long bar allows less force to exert, and the bar is detachable so make it in 1/2 length. Even after contacting the vehicle, it lifts reasonably quick.I've debated this against Arcan's 3.5-ton all-steel jack, but Arcan did not include shipping so I went for this.  However, expect this to be as heavy as all-steel jack, but I value durability over light weight on a floor jack for safety. Be careful when you lift this off the ground/floor so as not to break your back.One last note; the black paint on the wheels will come off after use.  I don't know why these jacks/jack stands are painted, knowing that the paint will come off easily.
I bought this because of the supported weight and the price. Additional positive reviews also helped with my purchase. I use it on both a Tesla Model S and a Subaru Outback. It works very nicely on both vehicles. Works very well within Jackpoint Jackstands as well!
I could not lift the car!Oil changes were not to par.Aluminum and steel gave me air.The clearance underneath was fair.And now I can look like a star.
I have two now and both have performed flawlessly.  They have been a real life saver.  light weight and half the price of the ones from the big box stores that charge 350.00 for theirs.  These work with no problems. Follow the directions to bleed them before use and I have had no problems with them in the cold weather of winter or in the heat of the summer.  They don't slow leak either.  But do use safety Jacks under them.  Never trust a floor jack EVER!!  It's your life.
I don't know how I ever lived replacing junk jacks yearly from the hardware store. The lifting arm ALONE is as thick as the other jacks. This could not be a more solid feeling jack. The lifting plate is HUGE, you'll be able to find a jacking point easily. Would recommend this to anyone, do not waste your time with any other jack.
great great stuff
For years, I have been using sprays and foams to clean my tires only to lose the shine in about a day.  Sonax gel goes on easily (I recommend Chemical Guy foam wheel applicators) and the gel looks great and stay on several days.  Minimal splatter on the sides of the cars.  I always apply after washing the car\wheels and putting down a layer of quality matte spray.  I wipe the matte spray off and apply the Sonax gel and let it sit for a couple hours.  Turns out perfect!
I used Meguiar's hot shine, Eagle One and 3m in the past. I was impressed with the last one, but it is a spray and it does not last long. This Sonax gel works wonders and it's the best value -seems pricey, but I've done my car 2 times and my wife's 2 times and still have 90% of the bottle. It shines for weeks and does not attract dirt.One last thing, if you don't like your tires too shiny, you can simply apply it sparingly with a cloth and remove any excess. The rubber will look like new but without the gloss.
I really love the wet gloss show finish and goes well with my glossy glass black car. If applied when tires are dry you won&#8217;t get it splashed on the side of your vehicle.  If not wet lasts for 3-4 days before it gets dull. If rained on it will strip some gloss but you still have a nice matte black.Only complain it&#8217;s pricey and don&#8217;t like how the tube applicator slides out this leaves some to drip at base of cap when flipping on its side when applying. I normally wear latex gloves so not a big deal but has left a little mess on shelve.
This stuff works great.  I used it on yesterday for the first time and I must say it is fantastic on my tires it leaves a nice sheen on the tires not overly shiny but nice and neat (no sling off ).  The product is thicker than most tire dressings and it stays where you apply it .I will be using these SONAX products a lot more in the future.
Great lasting results. Have only used this product once so far. Applied after a regular hand wash and still have great results 500+ miles later and multiple days of rain.
Sonax gel will not leave a very high gloss, if that's what you want. I've tried putting two coats on which makes the tires a little glossier, however the dressing just ends up slinging all over the fenders. A light coat, buffed out with a microfiber towel will leave the tires looking good, with no sling I you don't want a high gloss.
I cannot wait ti use this cleaner for my tires and my rims on my car very highly recommended
I need to hit the wheels again on my F150. Bad bad bad brake dust, never seen another vehicle this bad.This stuff works way better than store bought. No one here carries this in the store and the other stuff is just a big waste of money.Now it the dust is bad, you'll need to scrub anyways. Just this makes the job doable, yeah that's the word I'm looking for. If not, then the baked on brake dust would be staying. I'm sure there is better or professional stuff out there. This one doesn't seem to hurt anything as long as you follow the directions. Spray, let it soak in, scrub and rinse really well. Don't get in on painted surfaces or yourself. If you do, rinse really well....LOL
Other than the price, I'm very happy with this product.  It melted the gunk off my wheels like magic.Tip: Use a small brush right about two minutes after spraying.  It doesn't take much brushing but I've found that it helps to spread the solution evenly.Tip: Don't let it dry like I did the first time (due to my apartment complex not having the water on at the car wash bay.  If you do, just spray on more, rub with a brush, and it all comes off just fine.
This product is the best product made, I love it. This thing literally cleans the dirt off and literally takes just a rinse to clean off if done correctly, the key is to wait a few minutes to get in there and break up the brake dust.
So I am looking forward to cleaning my car this spring. One part of the car that most people don't think about is the wheels. It really does make a difference when looking at your car. This product worked ok, but there are so many different kinds, I am not sure this one is any better than another. I basically will just buy the cheapest when this runs out.
I use this to help clean the brake dust from my car's wheels. I find that if I use it regularly, I don't need to do anything more than spray it on, let it work, and rinse it off. However, if my wheels get really dirty (or I go too long between washings), then I need to bring out the brush and do some scrubbing.In addition to the wheels, my car has stainless exhaust tips and a DFI (Direct Fuel Injection) engine...a recipe for lots of soot at the tailpipe. I find that a small amount of Sonax helps keep the exhaust tips looking pristine, so long as you're careful not to get any on your car's paint.Definitely recommended!
Simple spray application. Wait a few minutes then rinse. No scrubbing required. I think I did wipe off a few drips or something. My wheels looked very polished after using this product so highly recommend.Please note there will be a pungent, chemical odor.PLEASE NOTE: My rating system is fairly simple; &#34;Does the product perform equal to or better than advertised?&#34;. I never seek perfection. If the manufacturer is telling me the truth about the product that is all that I ask. I also factor in bang-for-buck and labor required.Thus my ratings typically are a little higher on average because I research and read a lot before pruchase.During my research I try to adjust my expectations accordingly. This product does not tie my shoes for me but it really cleans my wheelsextremely well in a virtually effortless way which is all I expected, hence the five stars. It smells bad but so what. Realistic expectations is how I try to rate so please factor this in with my rating. Thx.
Wow, just wow!I drove to the local coin operated pressure washer car wash place, sprayed on the wheel cleaner and gave it the required bit of time.  Product changed color as it reacted with brake dust.  Then I used the moderate pressure washer wand to rinse off the wheels.THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN SO CLEAN.  Only way to get the last 4% of brake dust off would be to roll the car forward so the wheels have half a revolution, then repeat to cleaning process.What was more surprising is the wheels stayed clean for a month after, and a couple months later are still cleaner than they were after normal pressure washing of the wheels without cleaner.  Could not be a better product!I run stoptech (very dusty) pads on an old Lexus LS400, 23 year-old original wheels with 70k miles.  The dust sticks like glue.
LOVE THIS PRODUCT.  IT WORKS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PRODUCT OUT ON THE MARKET THAT I HAVE TRIED. BEATS THEM ALL HANDS DOWN. YES THERE IS NOT MUCH IN THIS BOTTLE BUT STILL WELL WORTH THE PRODUCT THAT IS IN THERE. I WAS ABLE TO CLEAN APPROX 5 VEHICLES WHEELS WITH THE AMOUNT IN THE BOTTLE.  THANKS FOR AN AMAZING PRODUCT.
This stuff works. I tried a dozen other wheel cleaners and nothing even comes close.This is the best and you don't need to use much of it.
Used on neglected wheels and made a real difference but not magical as some say. Saved me some rubbing and would recommend to others.
Spray and let it sit, be sure to agitate with a soft brush or mitt, then rinse off after it turns red.
Does a great job removing stubborn break dust. Is a little pricey but it does work. Probably would buy again
Sonax wheel cleaner is by far the most effective product on the market. Ya its $15 a bottle, but there is nothing else i have ever seen that just melts caked on brake dust off this well. Make your wheels bleed brake dust.
Ordered this after reading reviews. I was very surprised and happy with the results. I have a 2012 Passat. One thing that attracted me to the car was the spoke wheels. I paid for the upgrade and immediately forgot they were on the car. It's an age thing, I take care of my cars but my condition dictates a limited time for work that requires being bent over. I've been washing the spokes and outer rim all along but forgot the polished deep dish part of the wheel. I just finished using product with a soft wheel brush for the first time and was shocked to rediscover the effect of clean highly polished deep dish spoke wheels. I sprayed it on, let it sit a minute, brushed the surfaces, hosed it off, wiped it down, done. No mussel required. Works wonderfully. P.S.  I bought the cheap Griot's Garage  15704 well wand (brush) purchased here along with this Sonax. Perfect combo for me but no two wheels are alike. Choose the right brush.
Used this on my 10 year old wheels that have probably never been cleaned beyond the car wash.  They had years of baked on brake crud that I once tried removing with the pressure washer to no avail.Sprayed this on, brushed it around a bit, and wheels look like new.  Smells bad, works great.Way above expectations.
I've cleaned everything on wheels from Harley's to hot rods,so when people ask me what I use to keep my wheels looking new Sonax is what I recommend. The only quality spray and rinse I have found that works and repels.
With that said, it makes the stuff you buy in the auto parts store look like water.Some people have complained about the smell, I really don't find it that offensive, maybe it's because I was working outside on a cool windy day.Sprays on well, with good coverage, and my guess is that each bottle will be good for about 3 wheel cleanings on my 18"s. The subsequent cleanings should be easier though now that the wheels have been sealed.My one gripe is that it still does need scrubbing for complete cleansing. You will not get perfectly clean wheels unless you remove them from the car (OK maybe if you have tiny brakes). Most calipers have a relatively tight tolerance to the wheels, which prevents you from scrubbing the area immediately adjacent to the calipers. Removing the wheels from the car is the ideal method for a baseline cleaning.
I find it hard to describe the odor produced by this stuff.  I feel like it itself doesn't smell as much as whatever is in it makes the inside of your own sinus cavity smell like it's rotting.  If you're sensitive to chemical odors I would recommend you skip this and use a wheel brush and a bucket of soapy car wash,  which by the way is what I ended up having to do anyway.  I was hoping this product would make easy work of cleaning the many nooks & crannies of my BMW's M-Sport wheels,  and the areas did turn red to indicate it was doing something, but it didn't &#34;remove&#34; much so I had to go back over them again to clean more thoroughly.But again, the odor...  maybe wear a respirator? Absolutely requires being outside anyway. I couldn't comfortably get within 25 feet of my car as this stuff was doing its thing.
I have committed myself to using two wheel cleaners, the first being IronX, and the second is the product shown here, Sonax Wheel Cleaner.  This stuff does a fantastic job of getting out one of the worst parts of wheel cleaning, and that's getting off grime and brake dust.  The first time I used this I was hooked as road dirt and grime just started to run off without issue.  Because I had some significant brake dusting as my pads were new (new car), I had to agitate a bit with a wheel brush.  After a few swirls with a wheel brush, the dusk started to run right off.  From then on maintenance is a breeze as all I have to do is spray this on my wheel when I am washing my car, wait for the colors to start changing to a dark purpleish color, and wash right off to a beautiful shine.I didn't buy from here as I like to buy this product in cases, but the price here for a single bottle is as good as any other place.The only negative that I will give this product is that it has a tendency to smell really bad depending on what it is reacting with on your wheel.  Also, (this didn't affect the rating) do not spray this stuff in a windy environment!  I was washing my car one day and this liquid is so light that just a small little brush of wind came by and i got some spray that was in the air in my mouth and boy does it taste bad.
Any Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz owner with OEM brake pads will tell you that brake dust is a constant problem. The unsightly brake residue builds up quickly and can be hard to remove. I've tried lots of products, but Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner is the first product that really works on brake dust. Spray it on a cool, dry wheel, let it sit for 3 - 5 minutes, hit it with a brush and spray and the brake dust is gone. This product is a permanent part of my car cleaning kit.
This is great for cleaning wheels.  Best thing I have ever used.  Just spray it on, let it sit and then a quick brush and then wash it off.  Great stuff.  It also seems to keep the brake dust from building up as fast.
Best Wheel Cleaner I have used Yes, you have to scrub the wheels but the outcome after it all, is just awesome the wheels look brand new.
Sonax Wheel cleaner is the best wheel cleaner ever. Sonax products are simple the best. I have used so many products before this none worked like this.
As others have noticed, the smell is bad, but after a few uses, it doesn't bother me. I will argue with others here and say that this is nowhere near worth the money they get for this. I know there are individuals that swear by certain brands, but come on... really? This product is worth the cost if you enjoy science experiments and watching the changing of colors (and you are 9 years old), but it gives you no additional benefit over the $6 bottle from a parts store, except maybe that it doesn't dry as fast, but using it one wheel at a time, that's a null point. If no scrubbing was necessary, I would have given this 5 stars, but like ANY OTHER wheel cleaner, you need to brush. In addition, the bottle lasted through a total of 8 wheels. Not worth the cost to me at all. Still, 4 stars because it's not terrible.
After the winter, my rims were filled with black iron spots that no other cleaner could remove.  I purchased the Sonax in hopes it would make quick work of cleaning the rims - and that it did.  It smells horrible but works great.
Chrome wheels are nice looking, but they are open to collect black brake dust.  The cleaner which is made in Germany is just sprayed on the wheels.  It turns from green to red indicating it is time to wash the liquid off.  I give the cleaner help with a wheel brush and then spray the cleaner off with a hose.  The chrome wheels look very good when finished.
This stuff is great, You need to rinse with really strong water stream or a pressure washer. If your wheels are really bad, if Sonax does not get them clean they need refinished. Try a little wheel brush action if they are really bad to spare product. I get about 8 wheels out of a bottle. By no means is this product cheap, Use sparingly with a nice wheel brush.
I am curious about why people rate this product based on how it smells?It does a better job on my wheels than any other product I have used in the past. The bottle is about half the size of the competition's (500ml vs 1 quart), but the results make up for the difference in cost per wash. I use the Sonax brush, dip it into a bucket, then brush over the rims that have sat for a few minutes with the Wheel Cleaner on. It loosens the brake disk gunk nicely.I have to deduct a point because the spray nozzle does not produce much of a mist and it is difficult to get good coverage without wasting any of the cleaner.
Used this on several wheels and it works great.I found this best to use on neglected wheels. My car gets washed at least once a week so my wheels never get that dirty. So when I used this product for the first time, there was not much color change.However, when I used this on another car that went several weeks without a proper wash, the product started to turn purple very quickly.My only gripe is the smell. Its pretty harsh but hey, this cleaner does work quite well compared to simply using car shampoo in a bucket.
This is a awsome wheel cleaner. I love how it changes colors. I have 20&#34; poweder coated black wheels and this cleans it with ease and gives it a nice shine. It is a little pricy but works great.
Goes on easy, am using it for my tires,very nice shine, but even after letting it sit on my tires for 10 minutes and wiping the excess off, when the tires get wet the shine goes away, will keep on looking for a tire shine that does what it says
Made the interior dash board and doors plus leather seats look awesome! Used it on black trim on the outside of car looked really nice so glad I bought this product I signed for subscribe and will be getting it every three months glad I did!
very easy to use and is a nice quality item  very mice scent  I would use it again and recommend it
I was skeptical at buying this item before since the brand Chemical Guys is new to me.  I ordered a few items before this for my detailing business and Im amazed by their products.  New Car High Shine is so concentrated that you would need to dilute it before using.  Basically I got more bang for my buck..
Like the product this is a keeper wil order a gallon. Size next time make it shine but not oily
I like this because it's just a step down from the Silk Shine, and depending on what you're applying it to, will give a better finish.This stuff is good on center consoles, etc - that are smooth and not so porous. The glossier stuff will be super glossy on something smooth, where this is that happy medium.A little goes a long way.Also keep in mind that this dressing isn't sprayable unless you add water (don't...) and comes with a flip top cap, and has the consistency of hair conditioner. Spreads easily, and less is more. Use a microfiber applicator pad to apply with, as it'll help you get a smooth even surface. Let it dwell for a minute or two to reveal any 'soak up' spots, and then buff it all smooth with a microfiber towel to get a smooth, even sheen.Smells like cherries, and the scent lingers for a small while - and isn't overpowering. The scent goes away after a day or two, but the protection doesn't.5/5
I've installed these on all the vehicles I've owned over the last 10 years or so since I am the one doing all the oil changes. They have always worked just as advertised and are very convenient. I will continue to buy them in the future
I've had fumoto oil drain valves for all my vehicles and they've always worked and been reliable. The make doing an oil change easier, saves time, and the valve always functions as it should. Definitely worth the money if you are a do-it-yourselfer.
If you are going to keep your vehicle for awhile and you change your own oil, this is a real time saver and installs very easly. I have them on both my cars and love it. No worrys about leaks and like I said saves time and is less messy.
All is good except the outlet hole is too small.It would be perfect if they made the hole bigger.
I like how easy and clean this product makes doing an OC, but it takes forever to drain the oil.First try, cold engine - oil cap off - dipstick out, took 25 minutes to drain.Second try, engine at operating temp - oil cap off - dipstick out, took 15 minutes to drain.I leave it on, but have not had success in it being quicker. Fact of the matter is, it's a smaller drain hold that the pan, slow flow rate WILL be lower. Can't defy the laws of physics here. Had dripping from the valve, but it was very minimal and required no addition of oil between 5k OCI's. If you want cleaner OC's, this product is convenient, however if time is crucial, stick with the standard drain plug.
I wanted to wait a while (1 year) before I reviewed this Fumoto valve so that I would have several oil changes and many miles of experience with it. I had a few concerns prior to purchasing this valve, and all concerns have been eliminated. I installed this valve on my 2012 Nissan Frontier 4x4 a year ago. Since I do a fair share of off road driving, I was concerned about debris hitting the little lever and losing all of my oil, but the valve is made in such a way that it is virtually impossible for that to happen. The lever has to be pulled forward (towards the front of the vehicle) and then turned downward to open the valve, so unless you are operating it, the valve will not open.Oil changes are a breeze. No tools required to drain your oil. I have put my truck through some pretty compromising situations off of the road, and this valve has no issues. It really is a &#34;must-have&#34; for anyone who does their own oil changes.
It now takes me longer to swap the oil filter than it does to drain the oil and refill. I have had fumoto valves on many of my vehicles over the years and a strong believer.
perfect, have one on my truck and one on my wife's car, if you do your own changes this is a must. NO MORE HOT OIL ON MY ARMS!!!!!
Bought this and thought I would give it a shot on our new Van.  It works very well and oil changes are now much faster and I don't need a wrench.
I have these on both of my cars, a Nissan Sentra and a Subaru Forester.  All you need is a short length of vinyl tubing- put one end on the nipple, the other end in an empty oil container, and turn the valve.  A few minutes later it's done.  It's virtually impossible for the lever to get moved on it's own, but if you ever bottom out (or worry about it), a simple hose clamp will hold it in place.
Have this drain valve on both of our vehicles and love it.Installation was super easy, obviously. Have not had a single leak on either vehicle since using these (over a year).Highly recommended as it is much cleaner method to changing your oil.Got clear tube to attach to the nipple from a local hardware store.
the F-103N is awesome because it has a short nipple to it. I put a 1/4&#34; ID tube on the tip and train directly into an empty winshield washer jug. Then I'll punch a hole in the oil filter to drain it directly in as well and I dont need a drain pan!
Very well constructed and does just as advertised. I do my own oil changes and have them on both my vehicles. I love the ease of draining my oil now if they would just come up with a eaiser way to change oil filters.
My experience with this wax is confined to using it on 1 black, and 2 dark grey metallic vehicles.  Your vehicle needs to be properly prepped to get the best out of any wax.  1 to 2 year old vehicles should be clay barred.  Any older and you might need to paint cleanse or polish as necessary. This wax should be applied thin and allowed to haze, 20 minutes per Chemical Guys instructions.  Time will vary per temperature and humidity.  Use the swipe test.  Even applied a little bit thick this wax is forgiving, just needs a little bit longer to cure.  Comes off easily.  I would say longevity is average to good.  This wax really makes your properly prepped paint look wet and shiny.  For the price you pay for it on Amazon this wax is a very very good purchase.  You'll get a lot of bang for your buck!
I layered this on top of Colinite Insulator Wax (which is the easiest wax to use ever), and it beads like crazy. Preferred method is to apply a second coat a day later (garaged) but since I don't have a garage, I applied two coats right after each other. Like any other wax, if you don't prepare the paint properly (correction and clay) you won't get the benefits. I recommend getting the red round foam applicator from chemical guys, my applicator (typical kind) had an edged seam around it and it kept getting chunks of wax stuck to it.  The biggest issue I see is that when applying it sets very quickly and you cannot distribute it any longer as soon as it starts to dry. You have to work in 1' by 1' areas, any larger and it doesn't spread out like it should. What I did enjoy, is that once you apply it, you don't have to keep &#34;working&#34; it into the paint. Overall, it's foolproof, but I felt like a little doesn't go a long way. As for the depth of shine and the &#34;glow&#34; afterwards, I've seen a wetter shine from using Meguiars paint sealant, but this will last longer than Meguiars which is interesting. Perhaps using this on its own or over JetSeal would yield better results. I loved a streak-free shine on my 2 stage black SUV.
I use this wax on my Ducati 1199 and works awesome, now although its just a shine enhancer I put this on the top of Jet Seal 109!
And I wasn't disappointed.  This stuff leave  the paint feeling smooth as butter and makes the water bead up something awesome.  Definitely worth the price.
Side by side. This product performed as goods as gold class wax.  Not as caky or thick as gold class.I will continue to use this wax, but for a 90% white wax, seems very yellow to me.Goes on smooth and wipes off nice with micro fiber towels.
I would order again I like it very much the way it cleans and foams up real nice product to wash your car
Great at loosening up grime. None of us want to admit it but there are times our cars go almost a month without a bath. Even dried on 80mph bug splatter came off with ease. Once again awesome product.
Great maintenance soap.I like the lower suds level this gives, instead on mostly suds, this has, in my option water with soap in it!Will not remove waxes/sealants.
You really can't smell the scent. I hate artificial fruit scents, especially cherry and grape, which is why I didn't get the soaps I REALLY wanted from them. Thankfully, after trying this stuff, I can tell you that you don't really notice it. You might catch a slight whiff every once in a while, but it's NOT strong when you're actually using it.I've been using this in my foaming gun. It definitely is not a very strong foam, but it is a great soap. I spray the whole car with foam, then rinse, then go one section at a time, refoaming, washing with a mitt, then rinsing. I've read that's the best way to go about it, and it got my car pretty darn clean.Oh - FYI, this stuff works great on bugs and tar, too.
If there are any areas that you miss and do not rinse before it dries, this soap leaves major water spots. And no, it's not my water since my water measures just 40-70 PPM on the TDS scale for mineral deposits.These water spots can happen if you are soaping the car in the sun and it is allowed to dry on the car, or if you simply do not wipe down the inside of your door jams well, etc.I've definitely had better luck with other car wash soaps.
I use this only when I want to strip the wax or at least, help strip the wax, off my car.I use one once per gallon of water and it does a good job of cleaning the car. I always follow up with a pre-wax cleaner then a wax when I use this product so I can't really comment on its wax removal ability but it certain helps with my piece of mind.I also put this shampoo in a foam gun and the foam that comes out is nice and frothy. Eventually I will upgrade myself to a foam cannon but in a foam gun, it does a good job of clinging to the car's surface to help breakdown dirt and grime.The fact that the price is pretty low, I do not mind using more than I should. I have another shampoo for my maintenance wash so this is perfect to start from a clean surface.
This sponge works great on both trim and low profile tires. The handle is easy to grip and helps keep your hands clean.
The handle is easy to grip and the applicator foam glides over the sidewall effortlessly. I expected these applicators to be cheap and cheesy, but they are lasting.
I bought these, but won't buy again. I own a detail shop and after just one use on a 33&#34; off road tire the foam separated from the plastic handle. They work pretty good on street tires.
Work very well. One of the foam pads did come off the plastic handle. Other than that they are great!
I'm a big fan of Chemical Guys' products, but I'd have to say these applicators are just a waste of money and waste of time to use. The most noticeable problem with this poarticular product are the blue plastic sleeves which hold the foam applicators (as seen in the product's picture).Almost immediately upon contact with the tire/rubber surface, the foam comes out of the plastic sleeve, and does so repeatedly. I tried applications with several different pieces and it happened over and over with each of them.Color me un-impressed with this product. Don't waste your money.They look "nifty" and "fancy", but they are hardly that. If you want quality Chemical Guys applicators, get the green and black contoured applicators which are also in this section. They are superb.These? I'll just mark them down as an abherration.
This applicator evenly spreads the tire dressing without dripping. Easy to clean as well and appear to be well made.
I used this clay with some hesitation, after reading that some do not like to handle it.  If you do not like cooking with your hands, just use a disposable glove.  The clay does nothing of itself.  It is merely the most effective way to work the surfactant on your paint.  The spray is rather generous because it lifts out all the deep crud into suspension.  The trick here is to use fluid solution rather than the surface abrasion.  You are left with the cleanest surface to use a fine polish and a nice hard wax.The success on my 1989 Mercedes got me thinking about some antique furniture.  I generally use hot water, turpentine (which I dislike) and a bit of linseed oil to clean old furniture. You need to clean these valuable objects without removing the original finish, or you destroy a significant amount of its value.  I was able to clay away a hundred years of smoke and grime from the furniture and see the finish as it was.  Old paint came true again.  The bare patches of wood gave up dirt without abrasion.  I put a new coat of wax and all is well.
I used this clay to clean my wife's black SUV before applying Collinite 476 paste wax.  Prior to this clay I used Mother's clay and I didn't notices any significant difference in the results.  However,  the spray bottle that came with this kit was very handy.The paint cleaning process itself was easy, although time consuming.  I think I can do it once a year at the most.
I've used many Griot's Garage products over the years.  This is a fantastic kit which lives up to the Griot name.  I can't wait to use it on my wife's car too...
While it is not a requirement to clay your car after each wash, you are missing out if you skip this step and go straight to wax.  This kit comes with everything you need.  After washing and drying your car, break off a small piece (smaller than a ping pong ball), and flatten it in your palm.  Spray a 2' x 2' area of your car with the spray detailer, then begin claying, side to side, no circles.  You will have to continue spraying as you move to maintain lubricity, and after you have completed a few sections, fold the clay in on itself to expose a fresh surface.  If you drop your clay, or it becomes too soiled, throw it out.  If you find the clay thinning out too quickly, ease up on the pressure and/or use your palm instead of your fingers to move the clay around.  If you did a thorough wash, are not using super-hard pressure, and are using clean clay, it would be hard to mess up.  Happy detailing.
I had to wait to use this product as it was a pretty cold winter (so far) and when it finally got to be above 50 I went for it.  After a basic wash to get rid of the dirt, salt etc, I used the clay and shine as directed.  I was amazed at how nice it made the black and our red car look!  The clay definitely got "dirty" and made the paint smooth as glass to the touch.I think I will definitely keep using this product.
I used this product for the first time the other day. I hadn't been able to wash my car for over two months. It was filthy, to say the least. Even after a thorough wash there was still gunk on the paint. The clay itself is a very generous size, and the container is a nice addition. The spray detailer is also of a generous size, and while this doesn't really matter, it smells good too. In my opinion, this clay was a bit more aggressive than Mother's or Meguiar's. Although a microfiber cloth would have been a welcomed addition to this kit, the spray and clay are excellent in and of themselves. ALL the stuck on crud was removed after I clay bared my car with this product. All around great product. One tip, even with the container, the clay is rather sticky and will stick in there so I wrap it in parchment paper so it won't stick to anything (wax paper doesn't work nearly as well).
For those of you not familiar with paint cleaning clay, the clay bar is used to remove both seen and unseen grit and grime from the surface of the paint.  Gently rubbing the clay bar over the paint causes dirt to release from the paint and adhere to the clay.  The clay is then kneaded and used over and over again.  In order to prevent the clay from damaging the surface of the paint as it's rubbed across, a lubricant is required.  This kit contains not only the clay bar but also a spray bottle of Griot's Speed Shine, which is an ideal lubricant.  The only item missing is a soft cloth to dry and buff the treated area.Three suggestions when using this or any clay bar, (1) wash the car first then use the clay bar, (2) work slowly and (3) treat small areas at a time.  I've been using this product on my Porsches and my Ferrari for several years and I'm very pleased both with how gentle it is and how effective it is.  I think you'll be amazed at how smooth your paint surface becomes after it's been "clayed".  It then makes it easier to wax and water just runs off.This is an excellent product pairing by Griots.
Two years ago I had a problem waxing my 2008 Civic. The polish I was using was not leaving a smooth finish. After polishing, the paint looked good, but it was rough to the touch. There were contaminants embeded into the paint that my name brand cleaner/wax was not removing.I had read about clay bars, so I purchased a clay bar cleaning kit and followed the instructions. It worked! The clay bar and detailing spray that came in the kit left the paint smooth and glossy. So the concept was proven!Clay does a great job cleaning paint.When I saw this Griot's Garage kit, I had to ask, Is it as good as the more recognizable brand I used before?.I just tried it, and I am impressed. It works as well as the high prioed kit I used before.The Griot's kit comes with a clay bar that is 4 times as big as the bar I had in the previous kit. And this bar comes in a resealable container that was absent in the other kit.The bottle of detailing spray that comes in this kit holds 35 oounces of high quality detailing spray, compared to the 16 oz. bottle in the name brand kit.What missing in the Griot's Garage kit? The fancy box, and a microfiber cleaning cloth. The fancy box I don't need. The microfiber towel you can get in any auto care store for less than a buck.
The clay works well to remove overspray and other deposits without damaging the finish. Needs a lot of elbow grease but far less damaging than rubbing compound. The container to keep the clay brick in is a nice addition that the competition doesn't offer. The only thing bad about this is that the size of the little clay brick is very small for the price. It resembles a hotel bar of soap. It should be a larger bar and cheaper, how much can the clay cost to make?Don't leave it where your dog can get at it....
This works fine and the speed shine is great for touching up your car in the winter after a laser wash.  Spend the extra $10 and get the kit that includes the towels.  You get 3 microfiber towels and 5 pairs of gloves for $10.  The towels are much more dense and soft than any other microfiber towels I've used so they are well worth $3.00 each.  The clay is good not great.  Some complained that it is too fine but if you are trying to remove material, use a buffing compound.  Clay is supposed to remove contaminants not paint.
A friend who collects Porsches turned me onto this product, and it is terrific.  It is easy to spray on the liquid and rub the brick over the paint.  It completely removes old wax and residue, and gives the paint a terrific shine and your car will feel as smooth as glass.  Simply apply your favorite wax afterwards.  It makes the finish look and feel like new.
My car is about 10 years old so there is some oxidation on my paint.  After cleaning the paint with clay, the paint was smooth and clear again.  I didn't realize how not white my white car had become.  Keep in mind that you have to put on a coating of wax after the clay treatment.  I used Astro Shield (wax) and my car now shines like new.The clay also took out some light surface scratches but it's much less abrasive than rubbing compound.  All things considered, This is a unique and useful product.
I've said this before about this stuff I like most of there products there easy to use and they work well.
I've been a big fan ofAdam's Detailing Clay Bar & Detail Spray Comboproducts. I'd say these two products are pretty equivalent, but I prefer Adams detailing spray over the Griots. Items like this, I buy the gallon size refills, so the sprayer bottle itself should be of high quality and the Griots bottle does rank up there in terms of quality. There's nothing worse than a leaky spray bottle or one that fails to pump and the Griots bottle carries the namesake proudly.This was taken from Adams site: Current US patents prohibit the sale of certain types of clay within the United States. These patents expire at the end of 2012 at which time Adam's will again have control over the choice of clay included with our kits. Until then all kits will include clay marked 'Made in Japan'. We apologize, but this matter is out of our control at this time and we look forward to bringing you domestically made clay options after 2012.This really makes me believe that the higher quality clays are probably all pretty much the same, and in reality your purchasing choice in these kits comes down to what detailing spray/carrier you prefer to use.
I've heard that you ought to "clay" the paint on your car to remove minute particles of dirt and what-not.  So I bought this kit and tried doing my 2010 Altima sedan (white).First off, there's a lot of clay in the kit.  As you rub it over the paint, the warmth of your hand causes the clay to flatten out and spread, so a small amount of clay goes a long way.  I did my entire car using about 1/2 of the supplied clay.  When I finished, the clay looked almost as clean as when I started, so perhaps my car didn't have as much embedded dirt as other cars.Second, the lubricating fluid, Speed Shine, smells nice. Again, a little seems to go a long way, as it evaporates slowly from the car's surface as you use it to lubricate the clay.  I used a little less than half a bottle for my car.  It also works well alone to remove bug dirt and other small bits of crap that land on your car, leaving a nice shiny spot where the crap was."Claying" an entire car is time-consuming but not hard work.  I took it slow and did small sections at a time in my garage over three days -- YMMV.  This stuff is easy to use and you'll feel better about your pride and joy when you're done, regardless of how much dirt you remove.
I thought my car was pretty clean.  Until I used this product.You really MUST try this. It made my cars paint as smooth as a baby's butt!The detailed spray smelled okay too.  It made the car feel nice and smooth. I love this thing.The amount of clay is plentiful--about three bars worth of individual clay bars found in other products.  You can use half of it but I recommend using all of it.  Speeds things up quite a bit.  Overall this is a must have product in any detailer's arsenal.  It took me about an hour to do the entire Jeep with that big bar.  Otherwise I would normally take over two hours with a regular size clay bar.The bright yellow color helps you see the dirt much better. I've done three cars now and the bar still looks new when kneaded.  This thing will probably be good for 20 or more clay jobs.HIGHLY recommended!
Even after a car is washed, it really isn't very clean.  If you run your hand across the finish, you'll find it isn't as slippery as it used to be due to it picking up small particles in the paint.  Paint cleaning clay is the answer for that.The large sprayer made spraying each panel (I did about a half-panel at a time) easy.  I made sure it was all wet, then moved the clay over the panel.  Every so often I folded the clay so that I was working with a clean side.  I also used about half of the bar, both because it is a little large, and also because then if I accidentally drop it I have a backup bar to finish the job with.  Once dropped, the clay is ruined.I also like the fact that it comes in a screw-top plastic container for storage.  That helps keep the clay from drying out when it isn't being used.Griot's claims the clay won't strip wax.  I'm skeptical about that, and recommended cleaning and waxing your car when finished claying it.Overall, this is a good kit for the money.Sean P. Logue, 2013
I have used Mother's clay but like the Griots system better.  The clay is a little more malleable so that when the surface of the clay has picked up a good amount of particulates, I like to fold it in and start with new material.  The jar of clay has a good amount of material and I use about 1/3 of it to do two cars at a time.  I do throw away the used clay.  That makes for about 6 car cleanings, which I do once a year.  Definitely worth the price of the product.Personally, Griot's Garage products are fantastic.  I use their interior cleaner and also use the buffer pads with hook&loop; backing with my Porter Cable buffer.  All excellent stuff.
I purchased Griot's Garage Speed shine on a recommendation of an auto enthusiasts forum I follow. I used it withGriot's Garage 11153 Paint Cleaning ClayandGriot's Garage Glass Cleaning Clayand the combination works very well. The deposits on both paint and glass were removed without leaving streaks and without too much work on my part.Speed shine has almost no scent, provides good cleaning and is a good surface for the clay to glide on. I enjoyed working with it.The 35 oz bottle is fairly large. I am attaching a collage of two photos under customers photos. Photo #1 has the bottle next to a ruler for relative size. The sprayer worked well - a nice generous even spray. Photo #2 shows how much I used during one cleaning during which I only used it for claying the windows before I used it to clay the body paint. I was a bit surprised how much I used in one application.  Based on the amount I used I would guess the entire bottle will last me through 4-5 cleaning jobs.This kit comes with 3 micro fiber towels.  I find micro fiber towels an important part of getting great streak free results.  I use more than 3 towels in one car wash, so  I bought a large bag of micro fiber towel at CostCo.  However, I like these towels as a supplement because they are a different color.  This way I can use them for a specific job, such as applyingMothers 06108 Back-to-Black Trim Careon the plastic parts of the car and don't mix them up with my yellow washing/drying towels from CostCo.Thumbs up overall!Ali Julia review
Like i said in the comment. Its awesome for maintaing that look. Combined with the Quick Detailer i keep my Mustang looking black and shinny in between detailing times.
I have used this twice now and have to say that I love it!. I have two kits, and use four of the microfibers to clean my 2010 Wolfsburg Jetta. It can probably be done with only the three included towels, but I wait until my car is pretty soiled to use it and the towels get really dirty fast. I follow up with Chemical Guys Speed Wipe QD afterwards and the cars finish is left looking shiny and slick!
I bought a new car this fall. I want to keep it showroom clean. Unfortunately, we get a lot of rain here and the temperatures are in the uncomfortable 40's. I took my car to the local car wash (manual kind, the "brushless" ones put swirls in my paint). I gave it a through wash. I didn't use the foam brush they provide. Dirt trapped in the public brush scratched my last car. When I got home, I found areas of the car that were still dirty. The pressure washing removed much of the dirt, but not all. The fenders and doors still had dirt on them.After getting my Girot's Spray-On Car Wash Kit, I used it to remove the residual crud. I did a great job. I also did a quick once-over on the rest of the car. The result was amazing! The key to a good wash with this product is to not allow any cloth to get too dirty. You may need additional microfiber cloths, but they are inexpensive. Ok, thirty bucks isn't cheap for a "car wash" product. Detailing costs a lot more! Try this product. It's worth the money.
I live in a Condo and so a hose and water are not always conveniently available for a weekend wash job (there is a hose and water, but not within easy access of where I park).  So my poor car often goes a bit too long between washes.  Here's the perfect solution (no pun intended)!  Now I can spot clean and touch up between washes easily because this kit really does work.  Yea, a product that delivers what it promises.The towels that come with the kit are above average in quality.  Most micro fiber cleaning towels I've seen are thinner.  Also, they have a very nice softness, no chemical odors (a sign of quality manufacture), and a decent size.  I'd prefer a little larger, but they are plenty good for the job.  The sprayer also is good and works well.Be sure to watch the video here to see how this is meant to be used.  You do *not* want to apply a lot of pressure!!!  Let the solution/solvent and the microfiber cloth do their job and so avoid scratching your car's finish.  You just wipe and lift off the dirt.  You can buff a little, if needed, afterwards using a clean cloth.  Again, the video shows you exactly how to do this.I will probably use this more for touch up and spot cleaning, but you really can do your whole car with it.  It does work pretty well.  You can buy extra solution and towels here on Amazon.  I recommend cleaning the towels by hand with just a bucket of soapy (dish detergent) warm water.  Agitate and let them soak, then wring, rinse very well, and hang to dry.  They dry quickly.You don't really save much getting the kit, but maybe it will go on sale from time to time.  It seems a fair value to me, given the high quality of the towels and the cost of other comparable products.  And it's so easy to use, you can keep the kit in your trunk and grab it and clean anytime you find yourself waiting around somewhere with nothing to do.
The car wash product is amazing, thats all. It is great to have around to do a quick touch up, especially if a bird targets your car with it's poo, or spend a good fifteen minutes to give attention and detail to fully wash your car. This stuff washes your car well. The only way it will not work well is if you don't use enough, don't know how to spray and wipe, or use it on an extremely hot summer day in the blazing sun.If I could do it over again, instead of buying this kit, I would personally buy microfiber cloths and a good spray bottle separately and get the gallon refill; this is probably more expensive up front, but it will save you more in the long run.
This product works great on lightly dirty vehicles.  The liquid cleans to a super smooth and glossy finish (excellent water beading), the sprayer works well, it even smells good.  The microfiber cloths are very soft and are good for lifting dirt from the vehicle's surface so the paint does not get scratched.  The system is fast and easy to use - cleaned a full size truck in ~20 minutes.  If your vehicle is very dirty, this product does not replace the car wash but is great for quick touch ups to keep your vehicle show-room clean.  This is convenient in the northern winter when bucket washing in the driveway is not possible.  A surprisingly good product.
We have not yet had a chance to use the spray cleaner, since we have always been able to use the normal soap and bucket to wash our cars. But we have used the towels. They are very nice, absorbing much more water than the cloths we normally use to wash cars. For washing, rinsing, and drying, these towels work well.
Really dirty? Use the Spray-on Car Wash Kit. The wash cloths are so great and works perfectly with the product they are intended to work with. They are so soft, good absorbents, and smooths the car the way they should. Not a single scratch from these towels.The cleaner itself just works. Light spray for upper part of the car, and moderate for the lower part. Heavy spray for the parts that really get dirty, like the exhaust, and even the wheels! Smells great too!Verdict: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.
This is a novel idea but not the most practical, unless you are unable to use water due to local laws or droughts. My car was really dirty when I tried this product. It worked pretty well for the most part, but for the really bad areas behind the tires where crud is flung up and sticks, it didn't work as well. Also, I used nearly the whole bottle on my compact car, so it can get expensive. One thing that I really liked were the microfiber towels. They are very plush and soft, which allows them to pick up and hold the dirt without just smearing it around. I ended up washing my car the old fashioned way after using this, and then claying and waxing it since it had been over two months since a wash. Overall, I'd say it's good to have one of these around for the time(s) you will need something like this, but unless you can't used water and sponge, this isn't the most practical thing. I still think it works pretty well for what it is, however.
I used this kit over the winter when I couldn't get the car outside to wash it properly.  As you might imagine, it's best used for spot cleaning, washing the entire car this way takes a long time; however, it can be done.  When washing the entire car, it's best if you utilize two people -- unless you've got a lot of patience.  It's best to work slow.  This is not a matter of spraying the entire car down and then wiping it clean in 5 minutes or less.I found it best to work on moderate size areas at a time; a fender, half the hood, the roof, etc.  Spray the area liberally with the washing agent and then gently wipe the area with the include towels.  Don't rub too hard because the grit's still there.  Let the microfiber towels lift the grit off the surface and don't re-use portions of the towel that are visibly dirty.  The towels can be washed many times, but don't use fabric softeners, they interfere with the functionality of the microfibers.The washing agent works fine in loosening most dirt and grime (we're not talking mud, here!), the spray bottle is a quality product and the towels are perfect for their intended purpose.  Good kit.
I already have this in my garage, I use it quite often on my black car and it is great for those times when I do not want to drag everything out for a full-on wash. I am especially a fan of Griots premium micro fifer towels that come with this kit.
WOW I sure had my doubts about this stuff beacuse here in Nevada right now it ius very very cold! So I rode my bike the other day in the rain and it was real dirty so I used this spray on was and it worked just fine and did not even hurt the wax job unbelievable I really like this stuff it goes a long way I did just like it says to on bottle and my bike was clean and still looked GREAT!!!
works well, not sure that it works any better than similiar items. it does streak a lot but that may be because its winter time and it does not evaporate well. the microfiber clothes are top quality and thick.
First I'm not a big fan of washing cars without water, if you can't first rinse off the heavy loose dirt with water you'll end up grinding the dirt into the paint leaving marks that don't go away. The only time I'll use this produce is when I'm looking to clean minor dirt and water spots that form after rain. Cars get dusty sitting parked, when my car is dusty I use Griot's spray on wash and wipe off using the included soft micro fiber towel. I lightly spray one panel at a time then towel off, this product doesn't leave streaks or film, it does a good job lifting the dirt into the towel leaving a decent shine! This is great for car shows because it allows you to clean up anywhere fast doing a good job. Like I said I would only use this product for minor cleaning or touching up to make your car look good anytime any place.
First, let me qualify my review by saying that I didn't expect this product to clean a really dirty car and I would never clean a really dirty car by spraying any type of cleaner and wiping it off.  I can't imagine you would have good results and I'd be concerned about scratching the finish.  That said, I live in New England and it is not possible to wash the car in the driveway when it is 20 degrees out.  I won't go to the cloth or brush type car wash because they always scratch the paint, so I go to the touchless laser car wash.  The problem with the touchless type car wash is they don't clean the car very well.  They don't scratch but they do leave a cloudy film.  You just can't clean everything off the finish without some rubbing.So my purpose for this product was that I wanted something that I could use after going to the laser wash to make the car look like it was actually washed.  For that purpose, this product works fantastic.My car was heavily covered with salt and road grime after a recent storm.  We use a lot of salt on the roads up here.  I took it to the touchless laser wash to get the major grime off.  It came out like it usually does; cleaner but dull and cloudy.  You can see the outline of the wipers on the windshield and the mirrors and paint look dull.  I followed the instructions on the box and sprayed on the Car Wash, let it sit and gently wiped it off with the included towels.  The towels are very soft and thick and they worked very, very well.  It only took about 20 minutes to clean the whole car (a large SUV) and when I was finished, it looked perfect.  Even the windshield came out great.  No streaks when the sun hits it.  This product leaves the finish looking like you used a spray detailer so it looks better than when it is just washed with soap and water.So for my intended purpose, this product gets 5 stars.
This stuff works much better than other waterless cleaners I have tried for sure.  Here in New England we get harsh winters with lots of snow most of the time.  And good car wash places are not just getting expensive, but are also very crowded on nice days as well.  Cars around these parts get mighty dirty with all the road salt, and washing a car outside with water is out of the question for me when its really cold. This Griot cleaner is not just expertly formulated for waterless washing, but also does a great job of really deep cleaning your car. Not just a passable cleaning job, but a darn good one. I have a 12 year old truck that this stuff did an excellent job on cleaning thoroughly. No rinsing off first or scrubbing required.  It does a fine job by just spraying it on, and with very little running.  I used about half a bottle doing the truck, and that was with no sparing it. (The truck was really dirty, but not truly filthy.  I go along with the other reviewer here that suggests if your car is really a mess, go to a car wash first and then use this going forward as an in between). And I believe that over time when used regularly, one would get even better at using it more efficiently. The towels that came with it lasted throughout the job, but were extremely dirty at the end.  I very much advise anyone using this stuff to rinse out the towels in a sink when done before machine washing.  And if your car is not that dirty to begin with, a rinse and dry will be all you need for another job later on.  I really am amazed at how good this stuff worked in the cold.  It was 28o the day I used it and the truck came out looking great.  It may be a little pricey if used regularly, but as far as how good it works, it's the best I've used and well worth it in my opinion. Highly Recommended... : )
First a couple advantages for waterless car washes.1) No water dripping from trunk, mirrors front grill etc causing spotting.2) You can lower your windows immediately without water streaking the outside of the window.3) You can do half your car take a break and finish it later or another day.4) Save a lot of money on brush-less car washes and no waiting in line. ($20 to $30 in my area)The towels are amazing. They are thick and plush and 15" square. I only needed 2 to do my mid size 4 door car including wheels and tires.My 1st use: My car was dirty from driving in the rain and wet roads for a week. The dirt and grime effortlessly wiped right off and then buffed up shiny (with 2nd towel). This cleaner seems to have a light wax in it. My paint finish was glossy and slippery when dry. It took me an hour to do a filthy mid sized car. I used less than 1/8 of the 35oz bottle. I'm sure I'll need lot less next time when my car is not so filthy...I even detailed the engine compartment with the damp cleaning towel without needing more spray. Looked really good after 20 minutes work.One WARNING: Hand wash the dirty application towel(s) before putting them in the washing machine. You'll be shocked how much dirt is in the towel(s). Even if you wash them by themselves in the washer, they'll surely leave a dirty ring in the wash tube and then you'll have to clean the inside of the washing machine. Not to mention your wife will be upset if you're married. :)Be sure to read the simple instructions on the bottle label......1st time using it was easy. No tricks needed or learning curve to get it right. Leaves a shiny lightly waxed shine. Don't worry about using this on an expensive car. Mine is a 2011 Infinity that looks like new. You will notice some light hazing in a few places that looks like wax not completely buffed. Just buff it with the towel. It comes off easily.Thank you to all the other reviewers who's reviews convinced me this product was worth a try
I am totally UNimpressed.I ride a motorcycle, and as most people who ride, use waterless car/cycle wash products all the time.  I have tried many, many different varieties, and most are along the lines of this product, Griot's Garage 11285 Spray-On Car Wash Kit.  They leave much to be desired, leave bugs and road grime, and leaves a less-than shiny end result.That said, the towels are GREAT.The price is 29.99 for one bottle and three towels.  This is FAR overpriced.My recommendation--get the EZ Detailer!  It's awesome!  It applies evenly, cleans bugs and road grime, and leaves a SHINY bike.  You can see it here, but you can get it directly from their website by the case (that's what I do).EZ WAX 579221 DETAILER Waterless Cleaning Wax 4 PACKI think that if you buy them from the home  site, they sometimes send free towels with the order (cyclical special offer).I hope this saves you 30 bucks.  LOL
I should have read the product description more thoroughly.  This is great for cars that already look clean.  However, I live 3 miles up a dirt road, so this didn't work out well for me.  However, my son lives in a real city, and he doesn't need to drive much, so I tried it on his car.  It did a fair job of keeping his car clean, but then it wasn't that dirty to begin with.
Love love love this stuff great and very easy to use and it works without using a lot of it just a little goes a long way
This item is expensive but it works great. It really got my car clean without having to put too much effort into it. You spray it on your vehicle and wipe it off. I did it in sections so that the cleaning liquid wouldn't dry before I could wipe it. Obviously, to use this stuff is more time consuming than a normal car wash but it's serving a specialty need. You're going to use this product when you don't have access to the things you need to do a regular car wash (water, hose, sponge, soap, etc). I would buy it and then use it sparingly.
Griot's Spray-On Car Wash Kit is handy to have. It's pleasantly scented of coconuts that I really like a lot.For spot cleaning having this onhand is priceless. The cloths are nicely thick and take in a lot of dirt and moisture before its unusable and needs to be washed. Get rid of the offending dirt quick and easy.If you're doing a full-on clean, it will take a lot longer depending how dirty your car is, but you will have a nice smooth, glassy-shine clean when you're done. It did a pretty darn good job getting a my rather weather-filthy pick up truck clean without feeling like I'm scratching or otherwise destroying the paint. (I will post before/after pics to show.) There were stubborn leaf/sap stains that Griot's had trouble removing easily, but with persistance and time, they worked off too.Water is a definite no-no when it comes to cleaning my Trek bike. I now use the Griot's to clean my bike. Much better results than just a wipe down.I am very pleased with Griot's Car Wash Kit and would gladly buy again to keep onhand for both my cars and my bike.
I've used Griot's products for many years, but had not tried the Spray-On Car Wash before. I recently bought a station wagon that, as most do, collects dirt on the tailgate almost instantly. I sprayed the product on the tailgate and wiped gently with the cloths - the dust and dirt came off very easily.  The cloths are super-soft, though they left some lint behind. I expect this would go away after they are washed.I have tested similar product from other companies, and I like the Griot's best. It didn't drip and released the dirt from the paint very well, leaving a fairly clean surface behind. It's not a replacement for a regular wash, but as a touchup or when you can't do a regular wash, it works very well.
I use this on my car and it works. It was able to remove dirt, grim and dried bird crap without scratching up my paint. I use it on my windows and mirrors. The product does not leave a haze it leaves a nice shine. be warned if the clear coat on your car is not in good shape then this product may not give you good results. For example, I used it on my work van and although it was able to remove surface dirt it was not able to remove the oil marks that were on the paint/embedded in the paint(the clear coat on the van has uv damage) for those marks I had to use soap and water.
This kit comes with several microfiber cloths, a large jug of interior cleaner, and a pretty sizable bottle of leather care spray which was impressive, but overall, I'm going to ere on the side of caution with this particular leather kit.  It says it won't harm factory dyed leather, but after market leather is up for grabs.  It doesn't state what the ingredients are anywhere on the bottles or packaging, but it clearly has a very strong alcohol and chemical smell to the likes of hospital cleaner.  The smell dissipates after about 10 minutes, but I wouldn't say you have a brand new leather smell afterwards.  I have no doubts it will clean leather to within an inch of its lfe, but conditioning leather to a supple softness with moisturiing, not so much.I have not had the horror stories some may have had with it stripping the leather but I believe it's possible based on the smell.  If you choose to try it, definitely make sure you spot test an inconspicuous area first and make sure your area is well ventilated.  I think this would work wonders if you're dealing with a musty or mildewy smell, either way, I would recommend conditioning lotions and not the leather care spray after cleaning.  I've tried several leather cleaners and conditioners from coat and shoes accessories, to Blue Magic, to other name brands, with decent results and nothing that potent in smell.  I have to believe something that smells that industrial/alcohol laden can't be good for your leather long term.
If you have been around vintage cars, you know that they are the best advertisement for taking care of leather. As someone who not only has a vintage car but vintage saddles, I pooh poohed most leather products for cars. I have used my saddle conditioner on the leather and found it superior. The important thing with leather is cleaning without drying it out and losing the flexibility. This is a car product that gets it. We have used it on an old Lincoln with leather seats and they feel like new. My skepticism went away quickly. Follow the simple directions and the results are great. Somehow they have incorporated a new car smell without a perfume sensation. My husband was thrilled with this package and now we each have our own leather products.
A word about Griot's products. While never cheap, the overall quality and ease with which these products can be utilized makes them stand out. The instructions are carefully written and the behavior and tactile feel of the products is rarely less than exemplary. They just work well, as advertised.So, as expected.. the cleaner dissolved some fairly nasty, well-baked-in material from my "leatherette" dash cover and door panels - working better than the interior cleaners I've sampled in the past. While some stains in the carpets would not release, I was surprised by how many spots *did*.On the leather, the cleaner removed dirt while leaving the surface uniform in color and texture.The leather conditioner resulted in a more more supple feel and a nice smell. Unfortunately, it's not going to fix scratches - which I begrudgingly admit is normal patina for a leather seat. Careful use, and regular maintenance of your leather - over many years - is the only way to avoid the typical rips and tears of a dryed-out leather seat.
I've got a 2008 prius with leather seats, and I'm pretty sure the last time it got a good going-over was a car wash in 2009. While I typically keep the windows up, I also live in a rural area in drought, so with all the dirt roads, there is always a ton of dust. So I had a pretty dirty job ahead of me.I used the cleaner and the cushy microfiber cloths on the textured dash, doors, console, and leather seats, and the combination of cleaner and cloths did an excellent job cleaning and conditioning every surface. It was quick, easy work. I was really impressed at how little effort and how little product I had to use.After cleaning the leather (and frankly, I was surprised at how beatifully the same leaner for the grimy dash worked on the leather--it even removed some kind of residue I was sure was a stain on the leather armrest), I used the conditioner on the leather, spraying directly on the solid leather and with a cloth on the perforated leather, as directed.It all looks awesome. The only thing not covered is the glass, which of course got streaky and needs a shot of windex.The cloths are really nice, not the cheap, thin microfiber you usually see. And the scent is very light, not at all bothersome even though I was using it in a closed car.
ThisGriot's Garage 11259 Leather Care Spray Kitis just an outstanding product.The interior cleaner is simply the best I have ever used.  It was able to remove grime from the leather seats of my nine-year old car that I would not believe was there had I not cleaned the seats myself.  In fact, it removed "cooked" grime from a vinyl dashboard after just using another brand's cleaner.  The sprayer is top quality too and reusable, so the next time just get the refillGriot's Garage 11104 Interior Cleaner - 35 oz..The leather care spray is just another milder cleaner and conditioner that leaves (what my nose believes is) the original fresh leather smell of the seats.  I could just sit in the car for hours smelling away :-).  This stuff can make a common man (or woman) a leather fetish!This is it. I finally found the holly grail of leather cleaners.
This is a quality product and designed for the person who takes pride of ownership in their car.  Or, for the person who wants to improve the look of their leather or leather-type part of the car.I have several Audi's and the product applies very good.  It comes with 4 quality cloths, which are nice size and perfect to apply the product.  The "new car" spray is excellent as it does freshen things up and is a better alternative to products such  as ammoral.Prior to using this product I used Meaguire's, however this brand and the experience I have received might justify making a permanent switch.  Plus, I noticed Griot's has a full line of car detail products, which is great for DIY'ers like myself.
I've been using Griot's Garage products pretty much exclusively for the past 4-5 years for a couple of hobby cars I own, as well as for my daily driver.  Like everything else in the company's cleaning, waxing, and protecting lines the Leather Care Spray Kit is excellent.  The cleaner and the leather treatment spray do exactly what Griot's Garage claim they do, and the microfibre cloths that come with the kit are also suitable for using with the company's waterless car wash, the spray on wax, and any type of glass cleaner you'd care to use.  I'm not entirely convinced that the ratio of interior cleaner to leather care spray is going to be perfect for everyone, especially since the leather care spray also cleans to a certain extent.  Even if there's still quite a bit of interior cleaner left, though, it is a product that can be used on a wide range of surfaces, so there will always be a need for it.  Highly recommended products and a useful packaging idea for three products that can work in conjunction with each other.
If you've got leather seats in your car, you know one of two things:1) Leather seats are a bear to maintain --or--2) Leather seats deteriorate fast if you don't maintain themI've been fairly partial toMeguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner and Conditioner, I thought I'd give this a shot, and I'm glad I did. As a whole kit, it's a brilliant present to give someone, but even as something for yourself, the products work really well.While I can't say it restored the texture of my Charger's leather seats to like-new condition, it did a nice job working out some discolored spots, and the rest of the kit helped bring my interior back to the day I picked it up from the dealership.At this price, it's a pretty great value, especially if you visit an AutoZone or O'Reilly store and see how far this much money gets you in their car care aisles.
In includes:-Micro Fiber cloth wipes-Sprayers for both bottles-Interior Cleaner-Leather Care SprayUse Interior Cleaner first to get off the heavily soiled leather.  The Interior cleaner contains no dyes or chemincals that will alter the surface of the original OEM finish.  The leather treatment contains a mild cleaner which removes contaminants while maintain a supple finish.  It contains vital nutrients to help leather and wipes off.  It won't alter factory dyed leather.
I love these Griot kits.  They take a few of their products, and package them together for a single purpose.  In this case, it is their interior cleaner, leather cleaner, and some microfiber cloths.My car has an off-white (actually ecru) leather interior.  I also have an eight year old daughter who rides in it and tends to get footprints in seemly impossible places.  Consequently, the passenger seats really needed a through cleaning.Using only the items in the kit, I first sprayed the seats down with the interior cleaner.  The large sprayer head made this easy.  Perhaps a little too easy - the seats were a bit wet!  I then wiped them down with one of the cloths.  Most of the dirt came off at that point, but there were some nooks and crannies that needed some rubbing.  I also cleaned the interior door handles with the cloth, which was now wet enough that I didn't need to spray.  The oil and grease came right off.Then I used the leather spray.  While the interior spray really didn't smell like anything, the leather spray is scented to smell like fine leather.  This was great, because after wiping down the seats my whole car smelled great!  The spray dried to a nice matte finish after wiping with a fresh cloth from the kit.This kit really works, and is easy and quick to use. So easy, in fact, that it would make a great gift to anyone with a car that has a leather interior.  Particularly if it is ecru.Highly recommended.Sean P. Logue, 2013
I have been a user of Griot's products for many years. Their Interior Cleaner I have used before and it is one of the best products of its kind I have tried. It cleans well, has no dyes or perfumes, and doesn't leave a residue behind. It's safe on many surfaces, including leather and vinyl.The Leather Cleaner was new to me and I tried it on my car seats. Unlike many similar products, it doesn't have a strong odor and isn't greasy. It cleans surface dirt well and soaks into the leather quickly, not altering the color at all.Griot's offers many different varieties of their microfiber cloths, color-coded for each use. These are thick and nicely textured, good for cleaning purposes.  I did not find they left any lint behind.I have taken to using the Interior Cleaner in the home as well.
I have no idea why Griot's Garage products are so expensive. They certainly get the job done, but so do other products from Armor All, Pledge, Windex, etc. The interior cleaning spray is fine, although it's better at light cleaning than intensive tasks like stain removal, which to be fair, it doesn't claim to do. Some people have indicated problems with the leather cleaner, but I haven't had the same issues. I recommend trying it on a small, out of the way spot to see how it reacts with your leather.The best part about this bundle is the microfiber towels that come with it. They're washable and high quality. I'll still be using them long after the Griot's cleaning solution runs out and gets replaced with some equally good, but cheaper substitute.
Griot products are dealer quality. I always wondered how dealers were able to impart that new car feel and smell to leather upholstery. Now I know. This is for any car enthusiast who wants the best quality leather care. I strongly recommend it.
I bought this to give my car a quick shine when i dont detail my car. Give you a shine just like you are using was and a buffer. Used with the quick detailer from Griot's Garage it makes your car look like you just detailed your car.
I received this on Friday and have already used 1/3 of a bottle shining my car and my fully faired motorcycle with bags.  I have not seen the car or the motorcycle shine so good since I purchased them from the dealers.  The included soft shining cloths are great and work extremely well to buff up the shine.  I highly recommend this to those who are car &#34;buffs&#34;.
I needed some more of the Speed Shine, but saw this and decided that I also needed some microfiber rags to go along with it. These rags are awesome feeling. Works really well with the speed shine to deliver a smooth, even finish.
Dusty or dirty? Use the Speed Shine Kit. The wash cloths are so great and works perfectly with the product they are intended to work with. They are so soft, good absorbents, and smooths the car the way they should. Not a single scratch from these towels.The cleaner itself just works. Removes dusts with light spray, and light dirt with moderate spray. Smells good too!Verdict: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.
Was not sure what to expect, but this stuff certainly delivers a great shine with little effort. I will definitely be buying the gallon-sized refill in the future.
I have been using Griot's Speed Shine for about a decade. If I could only have one car care product - this would be the one, without hesitation. Speed Shine is not only in my garage within easy reach, but I carry a small 8oz. bottle in each car, along with a blue towel, for on the road needs.Speed Shine has many useful purposes, and excels at each:1. Quick detailer. Use Speed Shine to do a quick dusting of your car, remove a small bird or bug mess, or just shine it up!2. Lubricant for clay bar. Speed Shine makes a perfect (and recommended) lubricant for clay bars. Keeping a mist of Speed Shine on the clay and paint is crucial to proper lubrication and effectivness of the clay.3. In-between-wash touch-up. I often use Speed Shine to clean up an area of the car that has gotten dirty, such as puddle-splash on the rocker panels or some light bugs on the front, etc. I have even used Speed Shine to clean my windshield! Yep. Works great too (the secret is to buff it well with a dry towel).This kit contains a 32 oz. bottle of Speed Shine, which will last you a long time (even if you use it often like I do). Three very nice microfiber towels (these towels are soooooo soft and fluffy), and the Finest Sprayer. The sprayer is good because you can dial up just the right amount for your application. The squeeze trigger is ergonomic and easy to operate.I can't say enough about Griot's Speed Shine. It is the best quick detailer I have ever used. I also use it for exterior glass, and of course as lubricant for clay bar. It is the single most used car care product I have in the garage!!
I love love love this company. I'm a new customer and just tried this for the first time. It works like magic easy to get off and help me keep that awesome shine on my car in between washes. I've purchased other stuff and it works great as well.
Griots is always good quality cleaning supplies, but their products do not like temperature fluctuations. If you leave it in an area where is will freeze most of their products will separate. You can still use them after you vigorously shake them up and let them sit for awhile, but you will not get great results. This is particularly true of the speed shine product. Keep them stored indoors / not in a non heated garage and you will be satisfied. I have tossed quite a bit of Griots over the years because my garage is not heated and just not enough in house storage room for everything.The interior cleaner here is nice and does not have that funky smell of a lot of interior products. The biggest advantage or plus is that griots won't deteriorate your vinyl, leather, and plastic parts like armor all does when its hit by the sun. If you can get used to the price Griots will be your friend.
Griots has a good reputation for quality detailing products, and this kit is a good example of that.  The Interior cleaner works well without a strong smell, and lacks dyes and perfumes that would gunk up your interior (nothing worst than a chemical smell that lingers after detailing- too many cheaper cleaners have that).  The vinyl and rubber dressing is easy to apply, has UV protectant (a plus in my book) and dries to a nice finish.  Even the consumables like the pump head, sponge and the nice microfiber cloth (which you never can have too many of, trust me) are nice quality items.  And once you buy the kit Griots also sells larger refill sizes here on Amazon which will save you some money.  All in all, a great start for those looking to detail the interior of their cars with a proper set of tools with an all in one bundle.
This is a nice little detailing kit that I keep on a shelf in the garage next to my car - it's very easy to pull in, get out, and grab the leather/vinyl cleaner for a quick wipe down!  The cloths are high quality and look the same after a few washes.  Recommended!
The dashboard spray included is OK stuff and leaves a clean finish on your dash. The microfiber cloths are good for application. Use one for the spray and one to clean up the over spray. Unfortunately you will have over spray with this applicator but it comes off the windshield pretty easily. I just would prefer an applicator that can be better focused on the nozzle to minimize the amount of liquid on the glass. The rubber dressing works alright and applying it with the sponges is easy although they have a tendency to soak up the liquid when you first start using them. Once they get a little saturated they work fine but that ends up wasting some of your dressing. All in all a decent kit but you can buy the same or better products from different manufacturers at a cheaper price.
works nice and has a good scent. seems to be a notch better than the average product. the microfiber cloths are are really nice as well...worth the money.
My leather seats were a lot dirtier than I thought.  This product picked up a lot of dirt.  The micro-fiber cloths are good but once they become dirty, your just spreading the dirt around.  I used paper towels and Q-Tips for most of the job.Everything was clean when I was done and my interior looks like new in my 10 year old car.I didn't try cleaning my rugs but I did clean a stain off of a floor mat.  It worked well and didn't discolor the carpet.  All things considered, this is a good product but you need to be willing to put in some time to really clean the car's interior.After everything was clean, I applied a leather conditioner to my seats.  This helps keep the leather supple and prevents it from cracking.
This is all you need to complete your interior car cleaning needs. The products do not leave and oily residue and have a fresh scent. The cleaner does a teriffic job and the cleaning towels, sponges accent the job.
This product came with everything needed to clean out the inside of a car.It came with:-Sprayer for both bottles.-Interior Cleaner-Sponge-Vinyl and Rubber Dressing-Soft wipes made of clothIt has no dyes, perfumes or other comtaminants to discolor the surface your cleaning. For use on vinyl, carpet, cloth, headliner, and leather.The Vinyl and Rubber Dressing contains no oils, petroleum distillates, waxes or other dangerous solvents that can harm or dull vinyl and rubber over time.  Cleans and protects in one step.This product works very well and leaves the inside of a car very clean.
Griot's has a reputation for excellence in car care accessories and cleaning solutions. Although some of their products are excellent, I found their cleaning solutions to be no different than virtually anything else. For example, they make some cool little brushes that help you clean in the tiny spaces in your dash board and instrument panel. I can see paying good money for a quality, specialized cleaning tool. What I can't understand is why their cleaning solution costs so much.I might pay extra if the solution is particularly powerful, or if it's non-toxic, or something like that. Considering that the cleaning power (in my experience) is equivalent to other options (e.g., Armor All, 409, Windex Interior spray), I don't see any reason to pay for "high end" cleaners. Each of those cleaners has a special power: Armor All makes your car shiny and kind of sticky, 409 seems to break down tough stains and disinfects, and Windex works well on glass as well as any mildly dusty surface. Griot's interior cleaner seems to be a general formula that isn't especially good at anything other than the general cleaning of dust and light dirt off your interior.The microfiber cloths and sponges are actually pretty decent. They don't justify the price, but at least I'll have something to use in the future when I buy another bottle of Armor All.
The Griot's Garage product cleans well but you probably could just as well use windex (like I used to) to clean the interior of your car.  The difference is that the vinyl and dash protectant is much better than the Armor All and other products that leave a greasy slippery finish.  I will say that Griot's is a little on the pricey side, but you do get some nice foam pads to apply the protectant and some nice microfiber cloths to clean.
These are excellent windshield wipers packaged with multiple adapters to allow mounting on a wide range of arms (including mine, which are the "post and hook" or "P&H;) variety.I simply removed the originally installed adapter (a twist with needle-nose pliers took it right out), replaced it with the P&H; adapter and slipped it on the arm.It wasn't raining when I installed them, but I've been using this model for about three years, and find them superior to the OEM blades that came with my car. They make firm contact with the windshield, and wipe without streaking, squeaking or chattering.Although I do treat the windshield with the included activation fluid (which is supposed to create a beading effect: wipe on, wipe off and run the wipers for three minutes), I think the wipers are the key to this equation, and they work very well.This wiper was for the driver's side. The passenger side of the my car takes the19" modelwhich performs similarly.Winter months in the mid-Atlantic are marked by the infamous "wintery mix" (snow, sleet, ice, freezing rain..sometimes all at once, or in a matter of minutes). These wipers stand up well to all of these.
These wipers work well on my 2500HD Pickup although a bit pricey I think they are worth the extra money.
Great wipers. They came with a sponge which I guess is a rain-x application for the windshield and combined they work way better than the cheaper ones I got at the auto store by my house. Just be sure to follow the instructions when applying the sponge. As for the wipers, no streaks and no dragging across the glass. Smooth and easy.
I have been using rain-x products since the mid 70's and have never been disappointed with anything they make.  Price was right and I received it fast.
Good price fast delivery.  Have been using rain X for both my cars for several years.  Very good product.
for this price and quality and the buzz, i expected more.  The wiper is really like any other out there, so nothing special about that (especially if you treat the windows with the Rain-x yourself).BUT given its large length, it looses friction toward the tips. you can see that it leaves some water behind.Updated: the wiper is loosing traction and even after cleaning the blade it still doesn't "wipe" as well as it did the first days.  This is bad since i've only used it a couple of times in the past 3 months of purchase.
These new wipers are excellent. They do a good job and are very quiet. They come with blue protectors that slip over the wiper blade. It really helps to remove these. At first I thought they were supposed to be left on! Stupid me....Here it is months later and I still love these wipers! They are excellent performers. I'll never use anything else!
These wiperblades installed easily and quickly on my 2004 Ford Excursion Limited, and upon use are the best wipers I've had on any vehicle. No streaking, squeal, or chatter. Smooth motion and vivid visual clarity in heavy rain. I'll continue to use this brand and model blades on all my vehicles. They are high quality and worth the price.
Once winter hit and the road salt got on the blades they began causing a LOT of smearing. I would highly recommend Rain-X Latitude but not this.
These wipers are noisy and leave streaks. I could tell they weren't well made right when I took them out of the package. You get what you pay for.
I bought a set for my car about 4 years ago.  I recently bought a replacement set for the same car, but I'm switching the old ones to my weekend car since they are still functional.  I loved them so much I want my dad to experience the goodness of the product.  It was simple to remove and to install the new ones.  Each blade comes with a Rain-X wipe.  USE IT!!! Read the direction and treat your window(s).  You won't regret the effort you'll get from the treatment.
These are on my 1995 honda accord, they work good. Four months later they are still working good. These work in all weather conditions. A great buy for any car.
This product works well, not sure yet of the lasting affect..time will tell...good purchase
Yea I am not impressed with the oily way it goes on and how long it lasts. When I finish this bottle I will for sure try a different product.
If you want it really, really black and shinny, this is the stuff.  Much better than a tire shine and it works on tires also but as an interior product, none is better.
I have never seen a product that turns vinyl and rubber pitch black with a high gloss finish, I detailed my engine compartment with this stuff and it looks brand new. My car is 13 years old and the wiper arms and windshield cowl also came out looking brand new. It seems to last a long time and after 1 month it is still working.
I use this on my 99 Isuzu Rodeo on the few black plastic trim pieces. This makes the color go from dark grey to a rich black. It's very easy to apply and I would purchase again. I do have to reapply after a few washes, but I find that acceptable.
I've seen advertisements of this type of product on infomercials on TV and always thought it was full of crap. Despite by skeptics on this product I decided to give it a try and I am glad I did! This product is a clear solution so it isn't dying your trims, it physically embeds into your weather damaged trims to make it look brand new. The product is UV activated which helps your damaged trims absorb the solution into it's surface. It is also rubber safe, I also wiped down my rubber window linings with this product and it works like a charm without leaving residue or grime. Would recommend this product to anyone who is a car fanatic.
not much to add that hasn't been said, but this did work well to find coolant leaks on my '01 Regal (was the plastic coolant elbows by alternator) and on my '93 Ford work van (just a loose hose clamp)  So it easily paid for itself in saved mechanic costs already.  Recommend having one on hand for the shade tree mechanics like me.Also used it to test the radiator caps on both these vehicles, since I now could.  :)
Not a commercial tool but for the backyard mech. it is perfect.  Solved my leak problem within 15 minuets of receiving the shipment.Most likely the plastic caps would not hold up for everyday shop use but perfect for my needs.
Mityvac MV4560I needed an inexpensive pressure testing kit, and I've been using Mityvac's plastic brake bleeder kit for years without any problems. So the MV4560 looked like a great deal for a DIY mechanic like me.I used this on a late model Ford, which uses the designed yellow cap for the system (MVA353). However, in order to test the radiator degas bottle cap, I could not use MVA410 as identified in the instructions. Instead, I have to use MVA350 in conjunction with MVA411 - which are not identified correctly for my application!The plastic nuts that hold down the clear tubing could possibly break if tightened too much, so be careful!Overall: 5/5 stars, inexpensive kit for a DIY mechanic. For something that you will use on a daily basis, consider upgrading to a more durable test kit.
I purchased this tool because I was trying to track down a coolant leak on an 04 gto. The item came with the correct adapter. The tool worked like it should and I found the leak. Handy tool, I'm very satisfied!
Just tested mine today on two new radiator caps (1.1 / 16lbs). Guess what ? the cheap cap only could hold 10.4 lbs of pressure and the quality cap holds a solid 15.7 lbs.  Talk about accurate. Most pressure gauges I come into contact with are way off (like 5 - 15 lbs off) and its surprising to find one in a value kit thats very accurate. The kit comes with caps that fit virtually all common vehicles and some uncommon ones. The overall built quality is VERY good for the price. Very, very sturdy caps and sturdy,rugged adapter neck. Solid, thick, no nonsense rubber seals on the caps. The only flaw is, might be the pump itself, as this is made mostly of plastic, and anything thats made of plastic that gets repeatedly flexed gets worn down very quickly. But again the price is a major factor in selling point. After all, its not meant for commercial purposes, its for home use. As such, we should not go out and test 100 cars with it.The manual is a bit on the o.k. side. But more work needs to be done in that area. The manufacturer places too much emphasis on repeated safety rather thanwhy the diagnosis is accurate in (that user) instance. Meaning, in some instances the diagnosis is a bit ambigious. To say that the problem MIGHT BE the head or block, you should change the gasket - is not really comprehensive enough.Its definitely a must buy for home mechanics. Definitely a 5 star product. Absolutely glad I bought it. Its possibly the cheapest quality tester on the market right now.
I am trying to diagnose an overheating issue on my delorean but one of the Mityvac caps is leaking and unable to test cap pressure.  I am trying to get a replacement or warranty service  but it is so hard to get a hold of company. I discovered a leaky cap issue after 30 days so cannot return to Amazon. Based on other reviews, leaky cap seems to be a common problem.Other than a leaky cap, price was good and it measured coolant pressure well.  I wish it had more adapters so that I can use it on other cars. For example, It won't work on my lotus.  Lack of available adapters make this less useful in long run.I am going to keep try to get a replacement part.  If successful, I will change my 1 star rating.Update: Mityvac company refused to honor their 1 year warranty since Amazon is not their authorize dealer.  However, when I contacted Amazon about this, Amazon mailed me a new one with next day shipping.  I am giving 5 star to Amazon for standing behind products that they sell and their impressive customer service.  Zero star for Mityvac company.
Works great, but make sure you have a spray bottle of soapy water to check for air leaks on fittings when you pump it up, if the hose is not cut straight & pushed on all the way will leak. you can buy more hose at the hardware if you need it. found a bad cap on Kawasaki teryx with it also. great tool for the money if you can't find a leak or test a cap.
Nice and simple, put the adaptor on, connect up and pump pump check !Simple way to pressurize your cooling system to find leaks while the system is cold and the engine not running.Whilst the kit is all plastic (except for the internals of the caps) it seems heavy duty and well made.Only down side is no case. I normally hate blow moulded cases for tools but for speciality tools you need one.
I work on my own cars and motorcycles  I had a leak in one bike I couldnt find,, the adapter worked fine,, dont think I would want this if I did pressure test every day, but if you are not a gorilla I think it will last forever
As described. Really works so far. I've used it as a regular stabilizer and it works great. Very sturdy and well made
They work surprisingly well. I honestly had no idea just how much these would stabilize our RV and I'm very glad I was talked into getting them
Purchased these to stabilize the slide out on our trailer and its a night and day difference. It never really felt like we had a lot of sway before but after installing these the change was very evident. Nice and compact for storage and very smooth and easy height adjustments.
I have intended to get something like this for a long time.  I've been concerned that our superslide would start to sag over time.  It is 12 feet long and slides out 3 feet.  We have never had a problem with the slide, but I don't want to create one either!  We are now planning on a long term trip around the US and felt I should finally get these.  I'm not disappointed.  Others have stated that it stopped, or at least cut down, on the RV shaking.  We have a large family, so I doubt I'll cut down on the movement much.  My primary concern is that we don't cause the slide's functionality to deteriorate.  We have used these jacks now in our driveway, our side yard, and in a state park for a long weekend.  I am very satisfied with how well they work.  They are simple and straightforward.  I don't really know what the long term affect of using vs. not using them would be, but I am convinced that they will help as they are very sturdy and easy to use.  Also, I like that they are fairly small (narrow) for what they are.  They don't have a flared out tripod base which would take up more room when stored for travel.
After buying a new trailer with a slideout, I started reading reviews on stabilizers. This one seemed to be the best bang for the buck. Not much to go wrong here, screw threads and a hefty nut with a welded handle. Powder coated steel tube should resist corrosion and rust for many years. The only negative in my opinion is the base, it could be a little larger diameter but I use jack pads anyway. So far so good...
I bought two sets for my 38' 5th wheel with 3 slides they mount nicely under the two rear slides and stabilize them very well. The only flaw I have found if you don't have to extend them very far( around 6&#34; until it clears) the adjustment bar hits the slide rail and you can't take full turns to tighten it so you have to kind of play with them a little longer than you should.
We had a hailstorm which dropped some baseball sized hail here, and there was a lot of golfball sized hail also. My brand new, two week old, camper took a pounding which broke a couple of these lights and punched a hole through the vent cover. The orange/yellow plastic part snapped right on and even looked to be sturdier than what had been installed on the camper. I'm please with the replacement.
And got a bulb out of the deal. Couldn't find these lenses locally so this option worked good. Needed the lenses to replace missing ones on my Skyline camper trailer.
The quality of the light fixture is good.  There is no base gasket provided with the fixture.  I used silicone to seal it to the camper.  Would  have been better with a foam gasket.
I bought this to replace a missing lens on my camper.  My lights look like this one, and this full light assembly was about a buck cheaper than buying just the replacement lens.(plus if it is not the same size I could just put the new light on... and have a spare bulb...)Turns out it was not quite the same size.  But it was extremely close.With a little squeezing and pushing I got this lens to snap onto my old light.  It fits very tight so it should not blow off.Even though I didn't use the entire light, I can still say that it looks nice.All the parts of this light look well made.The lens is a nice clear color that really catches the light better than my old ones.If you don't want to drop the big bucks on LED marker lights then this one is a good way to go.
The two upper clearance lights on my 5th wheel had seen their better days so I purchased these lights as a replacement.  They were very easy to install and luckily I was able to use the same holes as the factory lights.  I put clear silicone around the bottom of the lights before installation which made it waterproof.  Would highly recommend these clearance lights for an RV application.
What can one say about an anode rod? It either fits the tank or it doesn't.  This one went into a Suburban SW6DE and fit fine.  I'm assuming its chemistry will behave accordingly in my tank and do its job.  Price seems good - recommended!
pure magnesium anode is the best choice for my application.  Will buy again in 2 summers to keep the heater from rusting
Fits my 6 gallon water heater in my 35ft Keystone Laredo. Looks just like the one that came with it.
Very happy with this Anode Rod. I hadn't replaced mine in my 5th wheel trailer water heater for 5 years didn't even know it was there. This one worked fine.
This was a direct replacement for my aging anode rod in my RVs hot water heater.  Installation was very easy and straight forward.
Perfect match for a Suburban RV water..  My experience is that it will last a year.  Put a deep well socket on it to assist in getting it started when threading it in.
I replace the anode in my water heater each year when we put the mh away for the winter. These rods last longer and work better than the oem anode. We use our mh a lot except during January through April and so I think these are well worth the price.
A perfect solution to the uncontrolled oil drainage on the Ford F150 with EcoBoost motor. The first oil change (without the Fumoto installed) was an oily mess. This valve makes it much more manageable.  The valve appears to be of good quality. I didn't need the adapter and if installed it would cause interference with the transmission to cooler lines.I would recommend this product to anyone who does their own oil changes.
If you have one of the newer &#34;sealed&#34; automatic transmissions...YOU NEED THIS IN THE PAN!!!Sealed for life means your burned fluid, which likely happened before 50K miles, will end your transmission's life before 115K miles, if you even get that far.Put one of these in the pan, though, measure how much drains out, then, using a small hand pump, like $8 from Hazard Fraught, put back the exact amount which drained out.  Repeat every-other-oil change, and your transmission, and wallet, will thank you.
Fits and works will on my 2012 F-150 EcoBoost.I installed it to avoid the mess of changing oil (the drain points sideways and oil sprays everywhere).Now I can just put on a rubber tube and drain it right to the pan.
Been using Fumoto Valves for over 30 years.  They work, have never leaked a drop and make oil changes a breeze.
now i can do my oil changes without any wrenches.im worried about clearance issues a little bit, since the valve and hose nipple sit ~1.5&#34; lower than the drain plug.i also placed a vacuum cap over the nipple for added dirt protection
Installed this drain on my avalanche. It makes quick work and clean work for an oil change. I have lots of trust in FUMOTO because they are quality parts. Thank you~!
This ladder is nice to have making it a lot easier to get in the bed of my 2004 Ranger Step side. Easy to install, the only problem is with the Velcro strap as it is too short. I made sure to install it as in the video with the D-ring flush to the ladder frame and the screw directly underneath the ladder frame but it was still too short.Video ---> ( http://youtu.be/Zmqy-TmXUZU ) ... Look @ 4:30 min.I emailed the company from their "contact" tab on their web site and received a response within 1 hour, they are sending a new strap. They probably had a quality control problem and corrected it since some are getting short straps at 4&1/2 in. and others are getting the correct straps at 5&1/2 in.Edit: 10-20-13.I received the new holding strap and installed it, works as it should.But I noticed that the weld joints are now starting to rust. The Ladder is mounted under a Tonneau cover and has not gotten wet.I ended up re-painting it with gloss black Rustoleum.
Easy as pie to install.But I did have to remove the tailgate support on my old 86 F250,no problem.Used the ladder,seems good & sturdy.If I experience the rust problems as others,ill have to use some spray paint I guess.The d-ring & strap worked fine,but needs another one which I guess ill make my own.Time will tell if this will last very long.
I should have bought one years ago, what a treat. No more climbing up onto bumper, then tailgate, no more slipping off either. works as advertised. Easy install too, attach a magnet to your drill bit to keep some of the fillings from falling into the drilled holes.
I have a new 2014 Ram 2500 diesel, and this was the only one I could find that was tall enough. However, I had to modify it for my truck since I added heavy duty bumpers. The material could be heavier, and the welds could be stronger, but I'm 100 lbs over the rated capacity, so adding a few more welds ensured that it held. The hardware kit was also a bit flimsy for my needs, so I replaced the bolts and used insert rivet nuts. These mods will probably not be necessary if you are within the rated 250 lbs stated for this product.
The options for assistive devices to access your truck bed and everything but this is horribly expensive. This product arrived with a damaged box, so it could have been the reason why one velcro strap was missing. in any case the company corrected the problem immediately when I called.Easy installation with good instructions. This IS NOT the $500 steel step that slides under your truck. It is a very inexpensive, useful alternative. I am an old fellow and I needed to be able to access my truck bed and tool box, and I couldn't afford the alternatives. The tailgate ladder is a great alternative. It folds up out of the way and when I put my tailgate down, I can fold it out and have easy access. My little grandson really likes it--he can climb right up and help grandpa.You won't get a better bang-for-your-buck or better support than with this product.
This net will work out real good..The quality is very good..well worth the price...this arrived nearly 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I givethe seller a big &#34;thumbs up. &#34; excellant...
This product stretch's and stretch's and holds its shape after many uses in both hot and cold weather. I highly recommend this product.
first time i bought a cargo net but i am happy i did.this thing can stretch and attach to anything.
I got these in delivery and found they work very well and I did sell my scooter so never did get my moneys worth
Not sure why some are grumbling, I am loving this thing. Mine came with metal hooks with plastic no scratch caps, they seem quite strong. I am using the net on my BMW F650 stretched from pannier to pannier, for that it works great and holds my book bag quite well. I would say this would be much too large to be of much use on a bike without panniers, it is more the size of a quad rack.So if you have a need for a large stretching net, this one is the one, if you need a small one, look for another.
You never know what you will end up bring home! Or helping someone else bring home. This is a net that will stretch around about anything. I have amazed my husband many times with what I have come home with using this net! Since it folds up tiny its a pretty good insurance to keep on the bike for that 'what if' situation.
I had a cargo net years ago that had vinyl-coated metal hooks.  Those sucked because the coating would wear off, and then you'd have metal hooks attaching to your bike.  The plastic hooks are much better.  I've used the net to hold an extra full-face helmet or a backpack.
I haven't used it yet but it looks good and stretches across the back of my bike.  The hooks have little plastic caps which may not last long but they seem fine now.  This thing was long in coming as China is a long trip.  I would recommend this $3.50 net
This is a good strong net. It's bigger than i expected, but the clips can easily move around the net, so you can essentially make it smaller for whatever you are trying to carry. I use it to keep a backpack or other bags on my bike when needed. Could fit a helmet under it if needed. I recommend.
I purchased a Kent Bayside Adult Trike and wanted a two-wheel cargo hauler; price efficient with folding/removable side bars and 110lb capability. I ride it to Walmart and have received numerous comments about it and the trike. I purchased this cargo net and it fits the cargo hauler perfectly.
Very good product for the money. This is not the best cargo net on the market, but it is the best for the money. It covers the back seat of my 2006 Honda Shadow,
I bought two of them to combine to make a larger net. It works well, the hooks are plastic and the net stretches a good amount.
I thought this company was consistant with their product value. Not only did I get plastic hooks ( that I can bend with my fingertips).. instead of last year's metal hooks, I found out they lowered their price 3 bucks 2 weeks after I bought this just recently.Thanks for the lesson!
The hooks are different than pictured. They are small metal hooks with little white caps on the ends of them. I used this on my motorcycle, to strap my backpack and motorcycle jacket to my sissy bar. It worked good.
I purchased this and 1 other cargo net at the same time because I was a little worried of the potential that one of them might be cheap and untrustworthy. I was about to ride 1600 miles on my motorcycle and didn't want to worry about my net breaking. Thank god, because this one is terrible. You'll notice that there are 2 different nets pictured on this product's page; one with thick plastic-looking hooks, and another picture with very thin metal-looking hooks. The net that arrived was the very thin one. The package read "Bicycle Cargo Net." Not what I would consider heavy duty enough to use on my motorcycle... For $2 more you can find cargo nets on Amazon that actually ARE heavy duty.I find myself wondering if the positive reviewers actually received the net with the thicker hooks?My recommendation... spend the extra couple dollars and get the better net. Here's one:B003M694T2
Not bad for a Buck Fifteen and free shipping , buying extras.....cheaply made but should last a couple of years anyway! I'm happy!
Have not used it for anything yet.  Placed in saddle bags and waiting to take a long trip this summer.  Plastic hooks and thick Bungee cord.  Seems like it will hold what you need to.  Worried about the plastic hooks a little with age I know they get brittle but for the price seems can not go wrong.
Used this to replace an older unit. I use this strap almost daily and has held up well to the sun and continous stretching over my work bag the sixe of a medium backpack.
keeps the helmet on the back pad very tight, able to carry other items as well with out having to stop and check to see if it's still there. i highly recommend this product.
I keep it in the saddle bags in case I need it.Hope it will do what I need when put to use.Stored in the unopened package for future needs.
Haven't really used it yet but I'm sure it will be fine when I do...I just wanted something on my motorcycle to help me hold things on the back if I needed to ...
It took forever for it to get to me, but I use it all the time. I have confidence on whatever I strap it down it will make the trip. You can't beat it for the price.
I use this to strap my dowco motorcycle cover on my luggage rack instead of haveing to use a saddlebag. Fits well and hold with no problem
It is a nice piece. I did not know that it was going to come with metal hooks. This is an upgrade? Because may people say that the plastic hooks fail over time. I gave it 4 stars because I didn't know it was going to come from Singapore... So it took much longer to get here than expected.
It does work alright to begin with. It gets stretched out really easy though and won't draw up tight again.
Should work well for holding another helment on the back fender. 5 stars to this vendor. It took the maximum time to receive, but worth the wait. 5 stars. AJL
Well made. Does what it is supposed to. Hooks aren't the same as pictured, they're smaller, but for my purposes, that actually works better.
I decided on the larger size of net to make sure it could handle any item i needed to secure. i was glad i did!, this is the best size for me and is easy to use. its strong and when you secure stuff with it it stays there.
I used this fluid to flush the brakes on my 06 Beetle TDI, and it worked fantastically well.  The old fluid was so dirty that there was really no need to use a product like Super Blue, because the fluid turned from brown and dirty to a clear amber, like a delicious hefeweizen.  You'll know when you've bled enough.  I also used the Motive brake bleeder to apply pressure to the brake fluid reservoir so I could bleed the brakes myself.  Worked great, and the stopping power is fantastic in my Beetle.  I'd stick with this high quality stuff over Autozone or Napa stuff, to make sure your vehicle performs as well as it possibly can.
THIS IS NOT YELLOW .IT IS CLEAR &#60; NO USE FOR EXCHANGING BRAKE FLUID IN SYSTEM.I wanted yellow or blue to see exchanged fluid .Not possible with this item.Beware you wil be unable to return this can through  Amazon.
I'll keep it short and simple since there are thousands of praises for ATE fluid. If you own a BMW that requires DOT 4, don't look further.  Yes it costs more than Oreillys brand brake fluid but you are paying for quality.  Too bad US banned the colored fluid, made bleeding brakes much more accurate
I like the specs on this fluid. Not sure I can add anymore than I did my research and a lot of guys who know cars suggested this fluid.
Good stuff, but thanks and no-thanks. Due to the DOT requirements, the "Super blue" is no longer available. I used to alternate the "blue" and the "amber" between brake fluid flushes. The different contrasting colors were especially helpful when you flush out the old fluid replacing with the new ones and knowingly there is no guess work because when the color changes while you a bleeding the line, you know the old fluid were purged, replaced with the new ones. Well, thanks to the DOT requirements, with no valid reason, they banned such a distinctive useful feature just because they specify that the color for brake fluids from now on should either be amber or clear. I thought DOT's function is to ensure safety issues, surely their interests in cosmetic preference is running amok and goes over and beyond their purpose. Thanks to all the Ralph Nadar wannabees...running that department into a typical government dumb failure.
This is as close to OEM as you can get for Euro cars. Did a brake/clutch flush on my Saab with 2 liters of this stuff and it worked just fine. Brakes and strong and clutch is taking up just fine.Don't cheap out on brake fluid, go pick this stuff up and don't look back. Why skimp out on something as important as brakes?!
The US is crazy and doesn't allow &#34;colored&#34; brake fluid.  So you now have to settle for this.  It's still the same great product, but now it's just hard to tell when it makes it through the system.  Overall, a great improvement over the DOT 3 that was in the system.
It's fluid, it works.. If you're buying this then you already know you wanted something better than OEM. Switch between Amber and Blue this way you know exactly when your system is flushed.
Used this in my 97 Miata.First of all;Brake fluid is one of the worst substances you will even encounter. It melts paint, and skin, and everything else it touches. You have been warned.The Good;Easy to see if clean fluid is coming out due to color.Actually quite a stable containerThe Bad;Melts EVERYTHING. Seriously.I would buy DOT 5.1 in future, which is less hazardous.
This fluid stays true its reviews and it works awesomely. I do wish that the would legalize the color additive that they previously used  (Blue) so you could easily tell when your old fluid is flushed out.
Just as good as the super blue fluid, just not blue and thus, legal. Container is easy to store and easy to pack.
My headlights were only slightly hazed at the top of the plastic cover.  All of these products really do the same thing, remove the top layer of plastic and recondition it.  This works with hand pads and you get decent results, but if your haze and discoloration runs deeper into to the plastic, you will probably need a 3M or McGuire kit and a drill. For anything light this stuff works great and I can see a big difference before and after.  I'd guess with one treatment and a lot of elbow grease 90% restored.  Not bad for 15 bucks.The real problem for me and part where this product didn't totally fix it was the swirl marks from an idiot that detailed my car and did slop work with his wheel.  This did help a little with that but if you look real close you can still see the swirl marks. Oh well.. maybe after some more sanding and the next treatment...
I had cloudy, not yellow, headlights on an RX330.  Bought the kit hoping to get good results.  Cloudiness of the lenses was partially removed to about 50% better than it was.  I followed steps closely.  At the end the plastic lens had more noticeable fine scratches than before (basically this is a fine sandpaper system). It seems the final coat is just an oil based gel that makes the plastic look wet and shiny but I doubt it will last more than a week.  Not fully happy with the result, on a whim I got out my Novus kit (1,2,3) that I bought on Amazon for plastic on my boat and around the home. I gave the lens a good Novus 3 rubbing, then 2, then the final polish coat Novus 1.  Honestly I think my results were much better than with the rain X kit.  Less scratching and seemed more effective.  I think the Novus 1,2,3 kit cost around $12 but I cannot remember as it was a few years ago.
either buy new light covers or deal with having dim lights. This should have a traveling carnival with it. Not worth it, wouldn't use product even if it was free!
this saved my yellow headlamps!Really recommended. has been 2 months now and they're still going strong!(2003 Ford Sport Trac)
I was able to get 3 vehicles headlights restored with this product.  All 3 were starting to frost over or go yellow(ish).  With about 20 minutes on each car, I was able to make the headlights look brand new.  You gotta put a little back into it, but it's well worth it.  Considering the cost of new headlights this product is worth every dollar!  In a few years when the headlights look dull, I will buy this kit again!
I waited awhile before doing this review to see the long term results.This kit worked very good when used on a 2008 model vehicle with hazy light covers.The covers ended up looking better than they were when new, but the effect doesn't last.I have had to redo those light covers about every three months in order to keep them looking good.The procedure is not very involved and just takes a little time and effort to bring the look back.I guess once that showroom shine is gone you just have to keep at it in order to keep things looking good.Thanks to Amazon.com for this offering.
Works exactly as described. A note to the wise: take extra time on the first (#1) sandpaper step. Go over the entire surface of the headlight (and in my experience the direction of sanding didn't make a difference at all, so don't sweat it) multiple times, washing the dusting of plastic off between each sanding. This was not in the instructions but helped me immensely. If you do not wash the plastic film off after each sanding the sanding becomes less and less effective. Also useful was rinsing off the sandpaper after each sanding to get the grittiness back. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with this product. This will take some elbow grease, but WELL worth the time and money. Makes the headlights looks brand new. I did this for my mother-in-law and the thought I had replaced the headlight covers altogether because it turned out so well! Take your time, follow the steps, this will work great for you.
The Schumacher XM1-5 1.5 Amp charger/maintainer I bought came with this connection included in the box. It works great and you don't have to raise the seat to get to the battery every time you want to hook it up. The pig tail stays hooked up to the battery and all you have to do is plug it in to the charger cord when you want to put it back on the charger.
Another fine product from this company,that will last me for a long time.I prefer sae connectors for my solar setup.
I have these charger pig tails on all of my toys (ATV, Rzrs and motorcycles).  They plug right in to the Battery Tenders.
This cable worked great for my 4 wheeler ,I hooked it to my battery , and don.t have to rase the seat to charge the battery
Just what I needed. I need one more for my scooter. Batteries need maintenance during winter here. Long winters in PA
Not much to say about this unit other than it works and a lot of convenience for the price. Put one on each of my implements that had a hard to get to battery and the easy plug connection really simplifies maintaining a battery in our Michigan winters.
Got this for a lawn tractor, so I could quickly hook up to a charger I use for everything with small batteries (U1 and under). I was stunned when it arrived with a captive plug cover (the illustration doesn't show one), maybe they forgot to mark the present production as "new and improved" or something of the sort. Still, it's a welcome addition to an already extremely useful battery-charging accessory.
I installed these onto an SLA battery used in a portable device.  Very handy to make a quick connection to my battery tender.  I like not using the usual clips that were hard to find a place that I felt comfortable leaving clipped to on the battery.  Also allowed me to move the device around while it was charging and don't have to worry about the battery clips falling off.
Fits and functions as intended, good price and very good quality.
Great extension to get from one A.T.V. to another and back to the charger that has a number of plug in's. Great price, best around. You should have one of these around if you use Battery Tenders.
I use this to connect my mini wind turbine.It keeps my battery bank charged up,and works fine.Will last for years.
My plan was to install one of these cables from the battery to the grill of my &#34;toy&#34;, a 2000 Honda S2000, so I wouldn't have to raise the hood to disconnect the battery maintainer every time I wanted to use the car.  Just take off the cover, unplug the wire and tuck the connector back behind the grill.  The ring adapters that come with any of the maintainers, from Deltran or Schumacher, are only in the 1 to 1.5 ft range, much too short to make it to the grill given the battery is back by the firewall.  The short cables I could find, of 5 to 6 ft in length, either didn't have the caps, which I wanted to keep any road dirt or rain out of the connector, or were ridiculously pricy.  I reckoned I could bunch up the extra length and tie wrap it someplace.  Which I did, but a much cleaner solution would have been a shorter wire.  Its a pity some place like Radio Shack doesn't carry this type of connector.  I suppose I can cut and splice, but that at present would rather leave it as is.  So the question is, why can't Schumacher or Deltran make the same wire, with caps, and different lengths, let's say 3, 5, 10 and this 25 ft?  With pricing to match length?
I bought this one to have a long extension for my SAE connector which is near my speedometer.Going out for a ride I attach the "SAE to USB Adapter - Motorcycle Cell Phone Charger" to my bike:B007VFFQREBut what can I do when my battery dies? So I bought this adapter and stored it under my seat.I also bought the "Black & Decker BM3B 6V and 12V Battery Charger / Maintainer" to charge mymotorcycle - the SAE-to-cigaret-adapter and the battery clips are also stored under my seat.B0051D3MP6So if my motorcycle battery dies I can take out the extension cable and charge it using any car.
For anyone that hasn't tried them yet, Battery Maintainers can easily double the life of seasonal or occasionally used equipment such a lawn tractors, power generators, cars that are fair weather use only etc.  Having an extension will make your life easier, particularly if you use a splitter to maintain multiple batteries with one maintainer.
Very nice extension cable.  Heavy duty work really good.
I have multiple chargers and this extension was prurchased to reach a vehicle on the other side of my garage from the power plug.The cable works well and I was able to tack it along the wall with no issues placing it out of the way and then directly to the vehicle.Great pricing as well thry Amazon as it was higher priced at my local auto parts store.
These are real handy to have in order to reach the battery without having to relocate the charger itself. I have three chargers that are in a fixed position in a certain area, so I can just plug these extensions in and be able to reach the battery I want to keep charged.
Very good quality cable. It will more than suffice for extending my solar charger connections. I would say that amperage handling is pretty decent also.
I bought two of these cords to go with mySchumacher SEM-1562A 1.5 Amp Speed Charge Maintainers. They appear to be well made and the end connectors feel like they are very securely attached. The addition of an end cap helps protect the plugs against dirt and moisture when not in use.The cord allows you to keep your charger out of the way and still reach whatever battery you wish to maintain. I've actually mounted one of my chargers to a wall near my mower and have a hook to hang the wrapped cord on when not in use. The cords also fit Battery Tender brand chargers and may fit other competing brands of chargers, though I'm only guessing about this.All things considered, the flexibility these cords offer, the quality of construction and the value pricing combine to make these an easy five review.
works with the battery tender.  way longer than i needed.  i just used it for the end connectors.  cut about 6&#34; from the connector on each side.  now i have a bunch of extra wire to use.it does have covers to seal it when not plugged in.
I need this 25 foot extension cord in the garage to reach about 15 feet from the battery tender to my riding mower. The tender is doing its job and the mower should be ready to go in the spring.
Thats what I use these for mainly.I tend to have so much wax on my car that I just pressure rinse,then use these to dry my car so as to avoid those nasty spots.These absorb very well,wring out,& go again.Had the yellow ones last time.Got red this time,,doesnt matter what the color,,same towel,I will continue to buy as long as they produce them.
These towels are awesome. I bought the red ones and they don't bleed or run at all. They are super absorbent and last for a very long time. I was and wax my cars about once a week and they always clean up very well. I either use "organic" detergent (no perfumes or anything like that) and they get clean. Great towels.
One can notice that the finishing is not perfect but c'mon, look at the price for each towel!Looks pretty much any other microfiber towel and it will last for some time. Go for it!
I am looking for quality, but inexpensive, microfiber cloths that I can use to detail the car and clean the house. These fit the bill as I can use these in my daily cleaning.  16 x 16 is a great size for quad-folding.  Still debating in my mind vs. using 12 x 16 cloths.  Need to remove the tags from these before use and may want to wash first to remove manufacturing lint.
Very happy with these, they work great for polishing and waxing. They do bleed a tiny bit when you first wash them so be sure to do them by themselves. Great buy!
These are for washing cars.  They're great!  Use them. If you've never hand washed a car, buy these and learn.
Purchased these because I wanted a red colored towel and I've had good experience with their yellow 350 GSM towel so I figured this would be a no brainer.Unfortunately, this 300GSM type is not nearly as good as the 350GSM.I use these towels for general interior and glass cleaning on my vehicles.
I have an old police bike with a very small gas tank and not very good mileage.  I had a previous gallon gas can that I carried in one saddlebag.  It was made of thin plastic, and I had to add an outside vent hose to keep it from expanding in the saddlebag.  This REDA gas container not only has a better shape, but it is much heavier plastic.  I haven't used it in hot weather yet, but I doubt it is going to require a vent.  Seems like a very good product for this application.
This little fuel can fits in my saddlebags perfectly and will give me 40 miles or so if I guess wrong about how far the next gas station is. Priced right at Amazon, appears well made, and I hope I never need it.
The C.A.R.B spout is difficult to use and nearly worthless.  It only is leakproof, in the extended outside position.  The spout is not leakproof when stored inside the can and when removed, gas drips everywhere.  The V.O.C.'s or volitile organic compounds "permeate" through the plastic over time.I tried the camper fuel Primus and MSR bottles.  But, they are awfully expensive.Now, I use the empty cans from the Fuel South TruFuel premixed 50:1 product that I use for my 2 cycle string trimmer and lawn blower.TruFuel 50Fuel Pre-Mixed 50:1 - 2 Cycle Fuel - 6 Quart CansThe cans are under $6 each after sales tax at either Lowes or Home Depot.They are DOT approved for transporting gasoline.  They are tin lined steel, so there is no VOC permeation through their walls.They come with a "locking" "child resistant" safety cap.  Remove the cap, and it pours easily into the motorcycle gas tank.  No funnel or C.A.R.B. spout is needed.You do need a funnel to fill them, however.They are one quart each.  Carry as many as you need.Best thing is that they are FREE and saves me having to recycle them or to put them in the trash to be placed in a landfill.
Awesome idea. This can barely fits in my aftermarket bags on my VTX1300R. It does not leak, no fumes and I would trust putting other things in this bag now. The only change I would make to this design is making it a little shorter to fit most Medium sized bags. I would buy this again and have recommended it to a friend who also ordered one.
I just got this and have to say it seems slimmer and taller in the pics. When I took it out of the box I was really worried that it was to fat to fit my bags. I ride a 07' Victory Kingpin Tour which has fairly small side bags. The gas can would not fit pipe side but fit like a glove in the other. The can itself seems really well made. It is very hard plastic and the nozzle has a valve in it to keep your gas in the can and not in the bag. Overall I think it was a great buy.
This unit works well and is compact.The coiled air line opens up to a nice length.....giving plenty of reach.I am still getting used to the &#34;screw on&#34; tire fitting vs a clamp on fitting.Be quick on attaching that fitting......air will leak out until it's seated.
It's a decent inflator. It's not too loud and the cord does stretch far. I'm not too sure the gauge is always accurate. The gauge gives a different reading that other handheld gauges I have that are in agreement.
this compressor is nice and high powered it will pump up car tires with extreme speed would recommend buying a high quality tire gauge to see what pressure your really at the gauge on this thing isnt accurate by any means
I was hauling out my 45 pound air compressor to fill up the tires, and this makes it 1,000 times easier.  It's a small unit, the size of a football, and it weighs probably only about 8 to 10 pounds.  The blue cord stretches out surprisingly long, and the main adapter screws down tight over tire valves.  You screw it on, flip the switch, and wait for the reading you want.  Easy.It does inflate a car tire rather slowly.  To take a car tire from 26 psi to 35 psi took me about 45 seconds to a minute.  That's not terrible, but it's noticeably slower than the pump at the gas station.  Still, you can do the whole car, even with moving the unit, in under 6 or 7 minutes, and that's not bad at all.  The gauge seems to be dead-on, and the unit feels heavy and well built.  With gas at $4.10 a gallon it's very nice to make sure the tires are rock hard and giving you every last mile you can squeeze out.I thought about getting one of those cigarette lighter jobs, but then I kept reading about blown fuses and so forth.  I got this for the garage and stuck an old bike pump in the trunk.  The bike pump is for roadside emergencies, and no blown fuses and some good exercise with that.
Needed a good little air pump that would last. So far, it works on my RV big tires, and all the pool toys. Easy to use and the gauge is accurate.
this has been a great addition to my garage. I use it on everything ... car, motorcycle, bike, balls etc.
inflates everything quick - easy to use and easy to store - must have tool for all your inflatables plenty of adapters and plugs in for consistent power
It works well and as described.  We use it to ensure proper inflation of our cars every month.  The guage is roughly accurate but you should always use a digital or something else for more accurate readings.  The one complaint I have is that I do not like the screw on valve connector for tires.  It is a pain and you do get some air loss, so you have to over inflate slightly.
I had hoped for the heavy gauge cotton towels we used to get for surgery but these are light/medium weight.  They are not as bad as the disposable grade you see all over Ebay but if you're looking for a heavy quality towel this is not it.  Shrinkage, as in most of these types of towels is severe but to be expected.
Ok towels .. But not as absorbent as everyone is saying... I'm not really wowed with them ehhh. Whatever. Win some lose some.
'These Doctor Joe Blue surgical huck towels are a great way to clean mirrors and glass without leaving the annoying lint behind.  They work great for cleaning the windshield of your car in addition to drying the exterior of your car.  These towels can also be used throughout the house such as for drying dishes or cleaning mirrors in the bathroom without leaving lint behind.*** Positive Points: ***- Lint Free and excellent for drying and cleaning- Large size allows you to work quickly*** Negative Points: ***- Not sure how durable they will be after several washings but these are nearly disposable for this price.'Overall: An automotive and household necessity!!
I just bought these towels from Amazon last night and so I have not used them but my review is based on having used this type of towel for years.  As other reviewers have noted, they are great for a lot of work, especially jobs where the towel will have to be sacrificed to get the job done.  You don't want to have to do that with microfiber because those towels are many times the price of one of theseOne of the most difficult parts of a car to clean properly is the glass.  These towels are perfect for the job.  They have enough "bite" to dislodge most garbage from the outside glass and they absorb most of the glass cleaner.  These towels do the dirty work protecting the more expensive microfiber so it can do its job of buffing the glass to remove the final moisture and streaks.  It's an excellent combination.  After a proper cleaning, both inside and out with this combination, using Stoners, it's almost like there's no windshield at all.The price:peformance ratio is excellent and I wouldn't be without them.UPDATE: I have just received the towels I bought at Amazon.  It should be pointed out that these towels will require some break-in.  Right out of the package, they are not very absorbent so pop them into the wash (no fabric softener, please) and they will be much better.  It will probably take 2-4 washings before they reach full efficiency.  I bought the light green towels and I noticed that the colors did NOT run.
These towels work great without leaving any fibers behind. I relied on white terry cloth before so I was a little concerned when I first felt them.  At first they feel a little coarse.  However, after I washed them they became soft and felt much better.  And so felt safe enough to try cleaning the car with them and I wasn't sorry.  They turned out to be great for cleaning my glass table, car windows, rubbing off polish, bathroom mirror and so much more.The bottom line is that these cloths are great for any surface.  They don't leave those annoying fibers behind and don't scratch.  And the price is reasonable. I recommend them.
These towels are OK for the price and for basic function. But - they are not regular surgical towels. They are like surgical towels.The good news is that yes, they are very handy.In the time of "greener" alternatives, these make a decent replacement for paper towels and can even serve as regular napkins. The white "terry cloth" towels don't work as well as napkins - but these could work if you are not worried about impressing a date.get these if you are looking for a cheap and more versatile towel than the regular white terry cloth towels, just don't expect these to work as surgical towels or to have the same thickness or durability.
I don't know what a &#34;huck&#34; is, but I like these towels to keep in the house and garage to clean up spills and messes. They are machine washable and hold up pretty well even after many washes. They do lint in the dryer so be careful what you wash/dry them with. The price could be a little cheaper since they are just basic towels,hence the four star rating. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and will buy more in the future if the price doesn't go up.
These towels are hyped as great for cleaning windows. I fully agree with this assessment. I previously spent much more on a package of two, similar towels to clean our house windows, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the similarities between these and those, and the marked difference in price (these being a much better bargain). I used these cleaning the windows in a solution of vinegar and hot water, and the results were a clean, fresh smell, as well as windows without streaks. But these towels can be used for much, much more, including everyday household cleaning or washing the car. The best part is that they are reusable, and that means less use of paper towels. Highly recommended.
These are wonderful, heavyweight, 16 by 27 inch towels, sold specifically for car wash and detailing. My husband is thrilled, since they do a much better job than the "rags" he normally keeps for this purpose.But I'm thrilled with these as well. We still do our dishes by hand, and these are the perfect size (and absorbency) for drying our dishes. :-)  I have the sky blue, and they do NOT look like garage towels, rather they look like a pleasant bathroom blue ... and they are much better than the towels normally sold for kitchens.So if you are looking for house and kitchen towels, do not overlook these as an option.The key to making towels absorbent is indicated on the wash instructions with these - wash them first for proper fluffiness and do NOT add fabric softener.Get the full dozen - and split them between the kitchen and garage. You won't be disappointed.Edit ...After several months of regular household use, the edges of these are very frayed. So, while they are nice at first, they definitely are not top of the line towels in any sense of the word.
These towels are decent and after one washing/drying (recommended by manufacturer) they are "broken in" and ready for use.  They are a bit stiff prior to the first wash, so I would suggest following the manufacturer's instruction.They are a decent size (approximately 16" x 27").  I would consider them average in weight, pile, and thickness.  Although they do feel thin, they also seem strong when you tug on them.As far as mixed reviews on absorbency, this is how I see them.  I would not say they are super absorbent compared to a heavyweight, plush bath towel.  However, they ARE NOT a heavyweight, plush bath towel.  They are average weight and more thin than thick.  For their weight they are quite absorbent, which makes them great for wiping off our car after a wash, and also easy to store as they take up a bit less room.Plus, not being overly thick, they can be easily run around car details such as grilles, spoilers, etc. without getting wedged or snagging.They leave no towel lint or other residue while/after being used.I found the towels a bit easier to use than a chamois, as I did not have to wring them out as much, and being towels they moved more freely over the car's surface than would a wet chamois.In the end they are nothing special, but I would rank them preferable to using your old, discarded house towels since those typically are worn down and may streak the car's finish.
These are nice, thick, absorbent towels. I have always looked for car drying towels that can absorb quickly without leaving a trail of fibers. These do that job better than most other towels I have tried, like the bag full of terry towels you find at Home Depot. They are also good for other jobs, as well. One that they are ideal for is as sweat towels used when on the treadmill. Against the skin they are soft and seem to absorb even better than off a car. You may also be tempted to use them as everyday hand towels in the bathroom. The body of the towel looks the part, but the edging and stitching is pretty basic and unadorned, so even though they work well, I wouldn't want guests to see them.
Now I know why using cheap towels at the discount stores and older towels from your home suck for car washing.  These are great.  As others have stated, wash them first before using.  Do not use frabric softener either.Anyway, enjoy your cleaner car!
These are thick, absorbent towels - more thick and plush than some of the hand towels you'd get at a big box typical retailer. But there are a few drawbacks, mainly with regard to the quality of the hem stitching and shedding.I normally use microfiber towels for utility chores (I get them cheap at the warehouse stores). For some applications these Dr. Joe cotton towels are clearly better. They absorb more water, and do so quicker. Great for drying the car. The size is a good match for car work as well - not too big so that it gets in the way; not too small that you have to go through a bunch before the job is done.They are not as good as microfiber towels when it came to applying and buffing wax. Microfiber distributed the wax more evenly, and picked it up faster. The cotton towels did well, however, when used for a final buff. The thickness really helps bring out the best shine.The Dr. Joe towels are also handy in the kitchen - much better for drying dishes and sopping up spills than microfiber. Granted, they are not targeted for kitchen use, but they certainly are up to the task.The downside is lint. These towels shed like mad in the first wash. There was less shedding in the second and third wash, but it still filled up the lint trap in the dryer. This shedding is also seen when using the towels for cleaning glass - lint stuck to the windshield and side windows, and there was some streaking. Microfiber towels are clearly better for glass cleaning.My biggest problem was with the hem quality. After only one wash, two of the towels had frayed hems. After a second wash, the number increased to three. I re-stitched the hems on the frayed ones, and will probably do some preventative mending on the rest to (hopefully) stop that from happening.Overall, a generally decent product but not outstanding.
These towels are perfect for drying your car / truck after washing it. They are soft and very absorbent. I own a Ford F150 and I can easily dry the entire truck with one towel. In the past I would use old bath towels to dry it with but they would often leave fibers behind. These towels will not leave any fibers or water droplets behind on the surface. Each towel measures 16 x 27 which seems to be a good size. It's large enough to dry your entire vehicle but not as large as a bath towel.They also work really well for detailing rims but I wouldn't suggest cleaning your tires with them because the black from the tires is a little difficult to wash out. Apply some Windex and they work very well to clean your windows as well.You get a dozen towels when you order from Amazon and the price is very reasonable in my opinion. Purchasing similar towels locally might very well cost you three or four times as much.
Doctor Joe car wash towels are a 12 pack of thick, soft, super absorbent towels. The size is a nice, large size. They are great for drying the car after washing because of the absorbency and good for window cleaning. They are also good for dusting and detailing inside of car, doesn't seem to produce much lint.We kept a few out for car washing but the rest we are just using for shop towels. They are great for anything. Wiping up spills, drying hands, anything that needs a towel. Does great in the wash too, gets even softer washing. Not that crazy about the blue color but I guess blue shows less stains than a white towel would.
The Doctor Joe Think Thick Super Absorbent Car Wash and Detailing Towels are OK for washing/detailing your car, but I find them nothing special. They feel and perform like any cheap terry towels. I just don't see the claims that they "absorb like a mop" being true. I also don't find them thick at all. They are thin, small, and lightweight. Don't confuse these with microfiber because they're not. They're 100% cotton terrycloth. If you need a towel to wash and clean your car, you might be better off just using one of you old bath towels, or buying cheap new ones at a department store. They will probably work equally as well as these small 16x27" cotton towels.
I am pretty picky about how clean my car looks. You might even say I get OCD about it. These towels did a great job in drying off the water spots, and even hours after the car is clean, there are no streaks. I highly recomend these towels, they are even great after you wash and dry them. Highly recomend!

I've used these towels for just about everything so far, and they are everything they claim to be.  Very strong, absorbent, and thick...just what's needed for a multitude of cleaning/detailing jobs.These work equally well for drying/detailing/waxing the exterior of a car as they do for the interior.  Squeezing and twisting them, even when wet, doesn't make you feet like you're about to rip them in half like some other detailing towels I've used.They also work quite well for applying RainX, and for cleaning the grunge out of wheels.  And for cleaning up various household messes.Would highly recommend.  Keep most of them for car detailing, and a couple extra for rags and minor cleanups.  Great towels!
Just like many other reviewers have said, wash these first before using them. Just to see the difference I washed all but one and sure enough the ones that were washed not only absorbed more, but didn't leave fuzz behind.How well do these work? Very well actually. They are almost on par with the quality of mid to top end terry cloth bath towels (you could use these as wash cloths or hand towels because they are actually that good).The only complaint and reason for 4 stars is that these are still not on par with my Big & Little Blue Microfiber Drying Towels that I normally use as Doctor Joe's Think Thick still don't absorb as much as them and these still leave fuzz (not much, but some).With all of the different sizes available, Doctor Joe has the right prescription for car detailing!
Terrible quality. These towels leave behind tons of lint and immediately began to become threadbare. After only a few months and limited use most of these towels are destroyed.
Finally we have weather that permits using these towels for their stated purpose and I only wish I had these the last time I cranked up the hose and water contraptions.  The size of each towel (12 altogether) at first blush was too big but once I started I could not have been pleased more.  More soapy water meets the metal faster and therefore making for a speedy application.  I used another towel for the rinse cycle (sounds like a washing machine to me) and that was the right combination so far.  Then to finish the job I used a barely damp third towel to wipe off the water spots.  That sound in the background is the drum roll for the finished job and it's a beauty.  I firmly support not using any cleaning product but those that are professionally suggested and by no means would I ever use fabric softener with the towels.  Upon completion of the job I put the three of them in the dog sink for a through hand washing and they are air drying and look fantastic.  I had never thought of it before using a fairly large towel especially since I normally used a towel or rag about the size of a large wash cloth but the larger towel like these is so much better because the weight of the water in the towel makes removing dirt so much easier.  Great product with many more uses than cleaning a vehicle.  Watch out garage doors and all that other flat surface.  You dirt is short lived thanks to Doctor Joe.
These are high quality towels that do not deserve to be compared to the big box store bulk towels.  As the label states "think thick" - and they are guaranteed to be broken in after one wash.  Absolutely true for these 100% cotton towels.  And they maintain their size.  I have had bath towels that cost many times more and also took several washings to break in.  These are absorbent right away and even better after one wash.  In addition, the stitching is more than adequate for a work towel and polishing cloth.All in all, if you are NOT looking for potentially disposable towels, these are the best I have come across.
I didn't follow manufacturer recommendations and used these towels without machine washing and drying them first. You know what, they still worked well, and with only a little lint and streaking on my cars' finish. The second time I used them "the proper way", there was no residue at all. I prefer them over microfiber cloths because they have that strange "sticky" feel. These little towels are the perfect size for car washing -- larger than a dish towel but less bulky than a bath towel. Drying my mid-sized sedan used only one towel while my wife's mini-van took two. I find it amazing since these Doctor Joe's Towels seem quite thin, though much plusher than your standard shop towel. They just absorb and absorb and absorb, and still soak up more after that, leaving a streak free finish.They aren't bulky so you can more easily use them to clean and dry hard to reach places like the spokes on rims or in small crevices. I use one to buff thewaxoff my paint's finish and it worked great for that as well. A dry towel easily clears of the hazy film from inside my car windows, and they work well applyingRain-Xtoo. I keep one in my glove compartment in case my windows fog in the humid Florida weather.I really like the idea of the twelve pack since these towels are so useful. I find them a good value since they appear to be holding up well to heavy use. If you don't mind their plain appearance, I think they work even better in the kitchen than regular dish towels due to their larger size. They soak up spills quickly as well. Drying your hair with one of these is a snap as they wick away moisture faster than you would imagine. Their soft terry cloth texture feels good on the skin and small children can use them as bath towels or adults as hand-towels. Doctor Joe's Towels are now dispersed throughout my home and garage -- ready for whatever challenge comes next.~ Kort
These towels are quite good for the purpose intended - washing/drying a car.  However, I like to use towels for all sort of other purposes and these fit the bill nicely.  They are slightly larger than bathroom hand towels.  My husband said they absorbed the water off the car just fine.  I like to use them laid out on my counter top two layers thick, and set my hot canning jars on them to cool.  Just use your imagination and whenever you need something soft and absorbent, think of using one of these towels before using a fancy bathroom towel.The only thing negative I have to say about them is that the hems seem to unravel a bit, and the lint in my dryer filter was very thick.  I only washed them once but it seemed to suffice.  They aren't super-thick but average thick. I like the smokey blue color too, very lovely.UPDATE 6/23/11I took several of these towels with us on a week-long camping trip and they came in extremely handy from drying dishes to sopping up tent leaks when it rained.  Also are the perfect size for towel drying a chihuahua who just had a bath.
"Only need to wash and machine dry one time in order to perfectly break-in this towel."When I got my towels and that is what I did. Machine washed and dried like usual using no softeners. When I pulled them from the dryer, four of the twelve towels started to rag at the edges. Badly. It's a little disheartening as I can see these will be short-lived towels.They function well as towels to do what towels do. I use mine for all sorts of misc. housework as well as for the car. I have no complaints there. My only concern is how quickly these towels have started to shred. As I re-washed the used ones, some of those started to rag at the edges too.Otherwise good towels for those wet, messy jobs.
These towels work fine to buff and dry surfaces. I would question the statement that they are thick and super absorbent. They are about the thickness of the towels I was issued back in my army days, although they are softer. They do say to wash first, but I did not notice any difference between the washed and the unwashed with one exception.There were some loose snags/threads/loops on the towels before, but after they were washed, I had to sit down with scissors and trim the very long loose loops on especially the sides or they would have caught on everything.They are a nice size to work with and with a different color than your bath towels they won't get mixed up...if you use thin bath towels.
I liked using this kit.  After using it I have noticed a gain in acceleration.  I am glad I found this product, would recommend it to anyone looking for the same type of product. 3M is very good.
I used this with my 1999 Nissan Pathfinder.  It was simple to use and the instructional video was easy to follow.  I don't really feel more power than what it had before, but I don't think it hurts to use it.  The dealer would charge you an arm and a leg to complete the same task.  I would invest in this first and see how it goes.
Was already using Techron additives regularly, so not sure after I did the 3M treatment, if there is any perceptible improvement, but one sure thing is, the idling revs seems to have lowered by about 200 RPM and seems to reaching idling revs quicker after the first morning start, not sure if this was also an effect of transition from Winter to Spring temperatures. So will accept it with some lingering doubts. No bad side effects though.
I have a 2000 Toyota Celica GTS with 193k miles on it.  I have used a couple in-tank fuel injector cleaners in the past, but have never cleaned the throttle body or intake manifold.So after 12 years I figured it was about time to get on that.  Well, the kit was fairly easy to use.  The most difficult part was getting the hose for the intake manifold cleaner to stay put while it ran.  Also, depending on the packaging underneath the hood, it may be difficult to reach this.With the car running you'll need to disconnect the intake tube, start the cleaner spraying into the manifold, then walk back to your car and increase the idle to 2000 rpms.  What I've found is that the car will idle erratically with the cleaner spraying and the intake tube off.  There is a slight tendency for stalling between the time you start the cleaner and you walk back to your car.  I managed to do it fine by myself though.You will need a second person to jog the throttle body while you spray the cleaner on it.  This takes about 5 minutes and is the only part you can't do by yourself.So this is a fairly complete, easy to use kit I would recommend for older, dirtier engines.  If your car is running fine and making good power, this kit will make little difference for you.
My 1996 F150 started to stall - especially when running the AC.  I picked up this kit on a gold box special to see if it would help.  Best few bucks I have spent in a while.  First, I took the suggestion of a previous reviewer and parked the truck with the nose down in my driveway.  Big help with clean up.  Followed the directions and everything is running much smoother.  Of note, the F150 has two throttle bodies so I split the first can between the two.  With the gold box deal and the rebate I am one happy camper.
My 2005 Terazza has 100k on the odometer.  For a while it had not been starting as it should and would sometimes stall after start.  Dealer said they could not find any problem.Picked this up thinking it might help.  It exceeded expectations in every way.  Throttle body was caked in carbon.  After cleaning, she starts up instantly.  There is a remarkably noticeable improvement in smotothness and responsiveness.  I am sure that mpg will also be better.Kit has everything you need with easy to follow instructions.  Worth every penny.
If you want to do professional cleaning of your modern car's intake system then this product is for you at great price and instructions.
which is more than you can say for the cheapest models sold here on Amazon (read the reviews ) .Spend an extra five bucks on this regulator....it's much better value than the $8 one.
my hose does not vibrate when in use and i have much better flow to all faucets in the RV.
I replaced my old, leaking "WaterMate" regulator with this new, lead-free Valterra -- and it works great !!The Orange plastic grip allows easy, screw-on installation and removal. It comes complete with an internal screen/washer, too.NOTE: The included screen/washer is NOT stainless steel, so it WILL rust through in a couple of months -- I use ONLY stainless-steel screen/washers to avoid bits of rotted screens from clogging the Regulator, the Timer, or the Sprinklers.The lead-free "brass" regulator body is designed primarily for RV hookups -- to keep dangerous LEAD from leaching into your drinking water, but mine is mounted on the garden hose faucet to prevent blow-outs of soaker hoses and drip systems. Another feature of the  Valterra shows up in the monthly Water Bill -- it's MUCH lower than before the installation of the Valterra regulator !!The Valterra Regulator runs at 52-55 psi., tested at the faucet with a Rainbird P-2 Pressure Gauge.I use the Valterra regulator ahead of an Orbit Digital Timer for precise lawn watering and accurate water distribution through GILMOR Gear-Drive Sprinklers, also available at Amazon.My order arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Thanks, Amazon !!UPDATE: 14 June, '14 -- Regulator is still working perfectly -- with no leaks and/or drips -- and the Water Bills are still lower than before the Valterra was installed.
I like Valeria products. They are well made and stand up to heavy use. I full time RV and find them very useful.
I've always used the higher flow regulators.  Just that extra 5 or 10 lbs of pressure is nice in the shower.  Highly recommend.  My first one that I purchased was in 2010 and I use them all season long.  Just purchased the second one so will have a backup if this one goes.  I also use a gauge to verify pressures wherever I am at that you can purchase here.
I used it for the first time this last weekend.  I love the fact it's lead free.  My friend was next to me and had a pressure gauge on his regulator and the water pressure at this camp was over 100psi.  My regulator worked fine and we had no issues.
This regulator works quite well at a local CG, with no leaks, and decent pressure for the shower and toilet.  It may not be as good as a Watts brand, but for my needs, it does the job quite well.  Pretty much, screw it on and forget about it.
Yes I call it an RV Saver since it seems to preserve the integrity of your RV Plumbing.  Keeps water pressure from blowing out your pipes
I've been looking for a water regulator that will allow near the 55 psi that my RV will accept.  The standard 40 psi regulator is just too slow to take a decent shower.  This is a HUGE increase in water flow, while still protecting the system.
I bought this on the recommendation of reviews I had read on Forest River Owners Group(FROG)website, about protecting your campers plumbing when hooked to shore water supply. After attaching it for the first time, it reduced the pressure to such a low level that there was hardly any water coming through the faucet. I had to remove it to get a decent water flow. Perhaps the shore water pressure is already set at the correct pressure, my camper already has a water pressure reducer built in, but the valve proved useless for me. Wasted my money!
....if you have an RV.  Could prevent a real live disaster.  Sturdy and easy to use, would definitely buy again.
I must to protect your RV fittings from over pressure...cheap insurance here.  Just not worth the risk and potential costly repairs.
I bought one of these to be sure my travel trailer piping is protected from over pressure at RV parks. The regulator does the regulation job as advertised. However, it is sometime hard to install or remove from the hose connection in a park because of the way the parts fit together. I have to keep a large pair of pliers handy to remove it from a hose bib when ready to leave a park.
I bought this to replace my Camco regulator. This one's orange ring makes it very easy to screw on and the spinning body doesn't feel loose like my Camco regulator. I haven't tested the pressure yet, but the flow is just as good as without a regulator.
No gauge to tell what it does. We camped from NY to the west coast and back. Never busted a hose with to much pressure. Always had good water pressure.
I was using another brand of regulator on my fifth wheel and barely had enough water to take a shower with.  When I installed theValterra a01-1122vp regulator the water supply increased until I thought I was back at home!!  It gives an ample supply of water and you will not even know that you have a pressure regulator in your line!!  Great product!
Have not used it as of yet, will not be able to give it a good or a bad rateing until we start back RVing in the spring, once we start will update on the stars.
This regulator is well made, does not leak and does the job BUT it did not improve the flow rate materially (at least compared to my much cheaper &#34;Regular&#34; regulator). Bottom line, it is not worth the extra money!
Fits my electric jack so well. No worries about the winter months now. Really a very handy item to own.
I like it because it keeps my electric jac dry from rainI have had the cover for about 2 weeks or more and it has rain here ever other dayIt fits perfect and also has a draw string to tighten it upall in all it's worth the money to have.
This product is heavy duty, protects the jack cover from the weather. Large enough to push the electrical connectors into it.
I lost my Barker jack cover coming back from my last trip. A replacement costs about double the Ultra Fab price. The Ultra Fab is much softer material and still holds up against the weather. It's even soft enough so I don't have to remove it to operate the switches. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
Unobtrusive.  Looks great with my travel trailer.  Will protect my new Barker 27300 Deluxe High Power Jack from the Florida sun and rain.
. I was having an issue with a cheap adapter that was said to lower the pressure but did not have any meter or dial.  Here i can see the pressure and get what I feel safe with so my lines won't blow out.  I opened this item and  only tested it  and adjusted it to the pressure I want in my RV.  It seemed to work fine.  Then I put it away.  I expect to use it extensively my next trip and if it works better than I expected or worse, I will come back and amend my review then,
Soon after I bought my first RV (recently) I think I came close to burning it to the ground because of a water leak. What had happened on my first outing was I hooked up to a place where the water pressure was VERY high. But, I'm a camping newbie so I was oblivious. The only initial clue was the jarring noise as the air was forced out of the lines. A couple hours after hooking up at the camp site the bulbs started dimming on their own. Definitely had me puzzled. Then there was the smell of something electrical getting way too hot. Puzzled turned into concern. Thank god we hadn't left for dinner before the problems started. What had happened was water was dripping into the convertor from running down the water line from a small leak.I haven't had any problems with this pressure regulator. Well made and I have decent pressure in the camper with zero leaks. I can also adjust the pressure one way or the other. Very happy.
Great for the RV. I like the fact that all you have to do the adjust it is with a screwdriver. I have a 90 degree elbow which I attached this valve to. Highly recommend the 90 degree elbow. Relieves stress on the valve and hose connection. I use an inline wateKer filter along with the valve and I have had no leaks. I have adjusted mine to 50 psi. Most water lines in RV are rated at 65 psi so this is just right when you park at an RV site were the pressure is to high. Maintains pressure all the time. If you have an RV you need an adjustable regulator. Those so called preset are a gamble if it is was it says it is set at at the factory.
Must have!! Don't waste your money on those cheap pre-set regulators ( most are NOT lead free - how do they get away w/ that?????) This is easy to attach and use and the water pressure makes for a wonderful shower and cleaning your toilet (just sayin) while protecting your RV pipes.
If you own an RV, the PSI at various campgrounds can exceed the PSI recommended for your RV plumbing.  This will throttle it to a safe number (usually 45 psi for most RV's) so you won't blow out your RV plumbing.  This one is adjustable so you can dial in 55 psi or 60 psi or whatever you choose - This is an inexpensive insurance polic!
This unit works extremely well and I have had no issues with water pressure since I bought it. I live in my 35ft fifth wheel full time year round and my shower pressure is  just as good as when I had my house. Those cheap inline camco or whoever pressure regulators are worthless!
It leaked right out of the box - the little hole on the top - someone suggested it was the diaphragm that was protecting our water lines.  I find this hard to believe since we have been setup at the same site for several weeks prior to buying this regulator.  Amazon did their part and gave me a refund.  I am going to email Valterra just to see what they have to say.  For the price I had high expectations.
It does a good job of regulating water pressure. I gave it a 2 star rating because the pressure gage quit after about 7 months after I got it. Called Valyerra and explained the problem. They said they would send me a new gage, that was 6 months ago. So I e-mailed them, still no response.
After three uses, it works great.  A bit pricey but my MH will accept 55 psi and there are no non-adjustable valves out there that will give you that high a pressure...at least none that I could find.After about six uses, the guage got stuck on zero.  An email to Valterra resulted in a replacement guage VERY quickly and that resolved the problem.By the way, Valterra does make a high-flow preset valve that's preset to 50-55 psi for about $14.00.
The Valterra A01-1117VP Brass Lead-Free Adjustable Water Regulator is well built and accurate. I like the fact that it's adjustable.To me it was worth paying more for vs. the competition because it will last a long time where as some of the lesser expensive regulators on the market. I prefer to pay a bit more for quality and only buy once.
This is a &#34;poor man's water regulator&#34;.  It works well without having to purchase and install a heavy, professional water regulator.  I like the ability to see what the pressure actually is.  I haven't changed the pressure - I haven't needed to - and it works effectively.
Like the product. Clean build. Doesn't look cheap. Like the adjustable pressure valve.  Newer rv's are tested for psi's up to 110, I'm setting for 60. Looks like it will work as advertised.
I got this because I RV, and it is a must, due to the varied water pressures in the parks and elsewhere.  But, after a couple of weeks of steady use hooked to one source, the gauge started reading weird.  The source was 62psi (I had a seperate gauge on it).  So one time it would be correct at 50psi, then an hour later it might be 62psi, like its not working.  Then it would be OK for a couple days, then go bad again.I sent the company (not Amazon) an email alerting them to this problem.  They responded right away, and sent me another one, no charge.  It is working fine.So, great service, and good product.  I wouldn't leave home without it.Valterra A01-1117VP Brass Lead-Free Adjustable Water Regulator.
Bought this to replace a much &#34;cheaper&#34; non-adjustable one.  Comes factory set at ~42 PSI,  More that enough for our purposes ( A Travel Trailer). Very solid piece and appears to be well made.
You can set your pressure that you desire.  I use this when I camp with my travel trailer.  A must if you travel and want to ensure that the pressure stays low enough to not blow out your plumbing.
This water regulator is terrific, I no longer have to worry about high pressure from the water spigot at campgrounds, this regulator holds the pressure at a constant 45 pounds
The Valterra A01-1117VP Brass Lead-Free Adjustable Water Regulator work well, after I finally nad the adjustment correct. No issues as of yet. I came by UPS and it was on time.
This item is meant to be attached to a roll bar, and thus fits my Jeep Wrangler perfectly.  It provides a padded compartment for my sunglasses, and a larger compartment for other items.  I use the larger compartment to store my vehicle registration and proof of insurance.  Makes it readily available when needed.
Good storage pockets lined with a felt like material that keeps your glasses protected.  Would def recommend this to anyone.
This is a great product but could be made a little better.  Eye glass holder could be larger to hold more modern pairs of sun glasses.  Compartment size is more for aviator style of other glasses of equal size.  Rear compartment is adequate for other paperwork needed in the car.  The straps that secure this to the jeeps roll bar are just long enough to fit over the protective sleeves of the roll cage but there is not enough velcro to secure it on.  I plan to sew on a little more for the hook to latch on to and then it should fit anywhere.  For the price it should come this way.  Recommend enlarging the glasses compartment and adding more velcro.  Then I would buy a couple more.  Still needed due to limited storage space in the jeep so worth the 3 stars since I can mod it to make it work.  I have 2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara.  This fits perfectly directly onto the roll cage bar but all the newer jeeps are not coming that way.
This sunglass holder seems to be made much better than the flashlight holder that I rated recently that also came from Rugged Ridge.  The two compartments are spacious and have plenty of room.  A minor negative is that the material in the sunglass section should have some type of insert that uses a material that will not scratch soft sunglass lenses.The seams of the holder should also be double stitched to make it as  rugged as other items on a jeep.  The Velcro straps are several inches short to go around the drivers area roll bar for the 2012 4 door JK and so I added a 4 inch strip of Velcro and now it works much better.
Works as expected and does it well. i like the velcro for placment and think all of their products are generally rugged and well made
For my 2010 Rubicon JK. I didn't want one of those G.E.A.R. overhead cargo systems that are bulky just to store my sunglasses so I purchased this perfect solution to my delemma. This was supposed to attach to the roll bar, but I attached it to my visor.  The velco straps were alittle short so I added 1/2" velco extensions to make up the difference and  bamm, it fit perfect.  What I like is the pouch that is behind the glass pouch, it has another cavity to store lightweight stuff. It does obstruct my vanity mirror, but I never use that so it didn't matter. This makes my glasses readily availible when I need them. Every bit of storage is great in these vehicles.
This is really a useful bit of additional storage. As a matter of fact the zippered storage was far larger than I expected - while the pouch for sunglasses is far smaller than I expected.With the top down, the pouch pokes up above the roll bar - not a big deal, but something to consider.Nice to have the additional storage right above my head
Not quite as roomy as I thought it would be.  My sunglasses did not fit very well.  Overall it is a very nice holder I will use for other things.
Great looks, easy to apply, and is sturdy plastic to provide protection from door mirror coming forward and hitting the cowl.  It is a great addition appearance wise alone.  Would recommend for many reasons.
Well, they look great when placing them in place but they use adhesive strips to hold them in place.  The directions state that for proper adhesion the temperature needs to be at least 65 deg F.  Even though I am in Texas it has not been 65 deg since I received them.  I am looking forward to this weekend when the temperature is supposed to get up to at least 62 deg.  Sitting in the sun will probably warm the metal up beyond 65 deg and so that will be the day to install them.Installed them using the supplied directions by cleaning the areas of contact with alcohol.  I can report that the adhesive strips are industrial strength.  Make sure that they are positioned perfectly before you let them touch the vehicle. Because the KC light bracket made it a little hard to position it I allowed the first one to touch the vehicle not correctly aligned. I was not sure that I was going to get it off.  But both are positioned correctly and they look great.
I have a blacked out JK, and take my doors off all the time.  It's a pain to keep the doors hooked in all the time, and these cowl's do a phenomenal job of protecting my jeep
Easy to install and they look good. Put these on my 2011 JK, when they arrived. Clean the area with alcohol peel the plastic off the tape and press down , they only go on one way. If your worried about it staying on long term they will I usually add a little glue on the tape not necessary but I find it adheres tighter.
Product was exactly as described!  No defects or problems, recieved when promised, what you want when you order a product online. Covers the dents in the cowl from the mirror.
I LOVE these things! They look so good on my Cosmos blue JK 4 door and will save me from the &#34;dimple mod&#34; if I forget to strap the doors back. Definitely Recommend!
Great idea but once I got them I hated the look and then took them off oh well it is what it is!
Great product, simple install, and gives a more rugged look to your wrangler and also adds needed protection from a free-swinging door. Install was a breeze and took only 5 minutes. Prep the surface with rubbing alcohol, peel the plastic of the sticky 3M auto tape, and press. Simple, yet looks awesome!
Got this for the jk, These look great and add some style to the cowl. They also protect if your door were to open to wide, All you have to do to install is remove the backing off the 3m auto tape already applied to the back of these guys. Also matches the jeep plastic
They are what they are.  An inexpensive goggle that gets the job done.  They seem to fog quickly when you first put them on but once you are riding the wind clears up the fog.
These are an inexpensive eyewear that helps keep the wind from drying out your eyes. Hope they last a while , but if they only last a year they are cheap enough to replace. Adjustable, light weight & keep the sun glare down. Not real dark so you can wear them on cloudy days.
theese are the best road gear to have. the amber vision is so crisp and vivid. can see great detail on the road. they are very comfortable to wear and stylish. feels bullet proof to your eyes. keeps all wind , debree out of eyes. what a big difference wearing theese from regular sun glasses. i will be ordering several  more pair , for back ups if anything happens to theese. shipping was fast. came quick. they wear good in 20 degree to 80 degree weather thats what i have tested.i highly reccomend theese for the serious biker.
These are great when your on the motorcycles and you turn to talk to your passenger you don't have to worry about your glasses flying off.  Very comfortable and a great price.
Comfortable, seal out wind, have great clarity.  Quality of materials is excellent.  I like and would order again.  Have had  more expensive  motorcycle eye protection, these beat the others for sealing out wind and comfort.
I use these ramps to get under my Optima sx, they are fine, but not sure about the storage effect on them on the long run.  For best results, you need to sweep the area for better and safer results.  These ramps are very lightI think the manufacturer made a very good product and should be more clear about signs of aging for safety reasons (since most likely they will be subject to humidity, low and high temperature)
Plastic material is light weight and has been used to raise a minivan. Rated for 1500 lbs each ramp but have not tested to capacity. Low ramp angle does not force small engine cars to rev engine to drive up ramp. Owning standard metal ramps before with much steeper ramp angle, I was always concern that I need to rev up the engine to get car up the ramp. I may not stop in time and wheels overshoot stops and then have damage under body. That was my main reason for buying this ramp because of the much lower ramp angle. To accomplish the low ramp angle, the ramp has be to much longer in length. The two piece ramp make storage easy. High price but in the long run worth it. Note of caution. The first time I use it, the ramp was on a slight raised lump area and it left an indentation in the ramp bottom. Just make sure you are working on a flat surface since the ramp material is soft.
I love these ramps.  They're solid, so I don't worry about them collapsing like most other ramp designs; there's nothing to collapse.  They're lightweight, so they're super easy to move around and handle.  The removable front part gives way more room to work on things.  They're foam encased in basically a bedliner-type material, so weather doesn't bother them (I left a car sitting on them outside all winter once).  They're long and smoothly sloped so I can finally pull my low-ground-clearance cars up on them.  They're also really handy for things like my '95 Caprice and '04 Grand Marquis, where the front overhang and lower air dam make it a pain to get a regular floor jack underneath to the front crossmember; I can drive up on these and then use a floor jack to get the car farther up in the air for something like removing a transmission.  The relatively long length of these does make it more important to get out a tape measure and make sure they're parallel before pulling up on them, but that's a small price to pay for the incredible convenience.  The stops on the end are adequate to keep you from driving off unless you get too wild.I did buy the Race Ramps branded wheel chocks (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZAGPGU), which are not the chepaest chocks around, but are also of good quality.  It's important to chock the wheels when using ramps like these where there isn't really an indent for the tires - but the flat part is honestly wide enough that it shouldn't be a problem if you want to live dangerously.
Purchased to change my oil and am very impressed with these ramps. Amazingly light, strong and easy to store away thanks to the two piece design.
These are very light weight (much lighter than the cheap steel ramps) and they have nice carrying straps on the ends. I bought them for my sports car because of how low it sits to the ground, and it ends up these ramps are too steep still, I will be ordering the extenders. If you have a low profile car, I would recommend that you do the math to figure out the maximum angle (remember geometry?) you can have to get your car up on ramps, this way you will know beforehand if you will need the extenders or not.
These are ok - they've held my 24' trailer on the steep hill in front of my house.It doesn't really show in the photo, but they are hollow - the rubber is maybe 3/4" or so thick, which allowed me to drill a hole and attach an eye-bolt and chain them together in sets of two, which makes them a lot more convenient to carry around when you are chocking and un-chocking your RV.  I think the price is a bit high, but not outrageous, and they certainly do the job.
These are good chocks.  I was disaaapinted, however, to find that one of the set I received had errant cut on the base, where the rubber was trimmed at the factory.  I had to return them.Unlike other Race Ramp products these are NOT made in USA.  They are NOT marked with the country of origin. They are nearly identical to the ones selling at $8.99 each at my local Northern Tools store. Those are marked made somewhere in Asia.  I don't recall which country.  That means I can get a set of 4 for under $36.  The mold numbers inside the bottom cavity are the same, and the dimensions and weight are the same.  Yes, as another reviewer stated, they are hollow but heavy rubber.The only difference between these and the Buyers' were shallow slits cut into the bottom running parallel to the car axles in their installed position.  I'm not sure that they help very much and are worth the extra dollars.  I gave a set of four of the Buyers to a friend for his boat trailer a couple of Christmases, ago.  They are quite heavy work very well.If you likee to see these, just go to either Northern or Tractor Supply.  They are heavu and work well, but I'd wouldn't pay over $20 more for the Race Ramps label or the slits on the bottom.For my Race Ramps to check the tires on the ramps, I'll get the $3.24 each yellow Camcos lightweight plastic ones that, to my surprise, ARE Made in USA.  Since the Race Ramps material is a little flexible, I see no problems with the cheapies working just as well.On concrete, however, the Buyers are a better deal.
I bought these specifically because they claimed they would hold on grass or gravel; not just on the usual concrete or asphalt.  I have found that to be absolutely true.  They just won't slide.  They're smaller than I expected... maybe half the size of others... but don't let that throw you off.  These are great chocks!  You get four in a set.
Ordered these to go along with my new Race Ramps.  I wanted to stay with a rubber product for use on the ground and especially on the Race Ramps because I didn't want to risk damage to the ramps.  Really nice and heavy, does what it claims, prevents wheels from moving accidentally.I also have a pair of metal wheel chocks that are made in the USA and while I still use those, these have become my favorite, the metal ones have shown their age with rust around the chocks.The only negative that I can post about is the cost.  Ideally, it should be much less than what Race Ramps charges for the chocks.Please click YES if my review have been helpful to you, it will encourage me to continue writing and updating my reviews, and leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.
I got these because they are rubber and bite better than metal ones to hold the trailer where it needs to stay when parking on un-even ground these don't slide like the metal ones I had before and don't crush under the weight of the 12,800lb toy hauler.
The picture does not do these chocks justice.  There massive compared to my Sears metal-collapsible chocks.  It has a big footprint, and keep in mind these work great with Race Ramps!  A must for any mechanic.
I am a multiple buyer in the Chemical Guys products, although I do use more than the recommended one squeeze, everyone compliments how nice my vehicle smells.
Nice natural sweet scent. Comes with a good spray bottle as well.But scent doesnt last very long. Maybe because i drive frequently with my windows down.Value for money if purchased in Gallon packaging but quite costly in 16oz packaging.Give it a try, you will most prolly like it.
It arrived quickly and is great option for my clients who are looking to add a little extra perk to having their cars detailed.  I also ordered leather and new car scent as well.
I have bought quite a few scents from Chemical Guys and this one is probably my favorite so far. Great cherry scent that mellows quickly.
Smells good, nothing like natural cherries but good as in normal cherry air freshener. My only problem with the stuff is the smell doesn't last at all. I've tried diluted and straight versions and the smell is gone 24 hours later. You're better off buying one of those cat food looking air fresheners.
Ripe and ready to spray in your car!!! Great scent. Not a cheap candy smell, but a nice real, rich cherry scent. The Guys have done it again!
love this stuff. gf loves this, and customers love this.  even spray on furnace filter at home sometimes just to make the house smell nice.  ill buy this again soon.
The CG All Clean+ APC does a nice job. The only reason I removed a star is that my bottle came with a spray nozzle instead of the pictured nozzle.This may seem trivial but the All Clean+ is a very concentrated solution and I never plan to use it at 100% concentration. I always dilute the All Clean+ to use as an APC and Wheel/Tire cleaner.I use a Chemical Guys Spray Bottle (32oz) with foaming nozzle. The All Clean+ does a nice job of lifting dirt and grime from my wheels, tires, and engine bay.I would recommend this product as a quality APC.
I use it on everything except my body! Cleans cars, grills, driveways ect anything you can come up with and I like the fact its concentrated so you can dial it down for more sensitive applications.
I was looking for something to tackle the dirtier parts of the car.This fits the bill. my wheel wells are textured and are a royal pain to clean properly as mud gets in all the little crannies. This did a good job once well is wet and  loose dirt removed, I apply this to both well and my wheel brush. Like the green  formula which lets me know if I missed anywhere. Good at also removing old dressings for tires and eng. bay.I also own CG's Nonsense product and it is wonderful for interiors.Lime smell is good. alot of the APC's out there have a very distinct chemical odor. this one does not. I bought CG's  pro bottles dilutes with great finish at 10:1!
I have used this on carpets, dashes, and all over the interior with good results.  I really appreciate the pleasing citrus smell that it leaves behind too.  Very mild and just smells clean.  I diluted this product 15 parts water to 1 part cleaner.  So far it has worked well cleaning everything I have tried it on and has not discolored or damaged any of the surfaces.
You can dilute this product for using for the exterior of your car and can also be used for the interior. Doesnt have a strong odor like a lot of all purpose cleaners and removes all dirt no problems.
Please remember that this can be diluted down.  Using it right out of the bottle is too harsh for most uses.  Extremely very good product.  Thanks Chemical Guys.
This is a pretty strong cleaner for those tougher jobs.... It's smell is not terrific, but if rinsed well it doesn't matter as the residual smell is nice n neutral. You can dilute this to any strength you need.... That's the beauty of it. And boy does it clean!!!
Item is what it is. Arrived and looked perfect. Pretty heavy duty. I expect it to work just fine when needed..
Well painted, cheap.  Unlike others, i was able to peel the sticker off easily.  Its gooey.  I cant remember if it was water based or not, i do know i took it off over the kitchen sink, which means i used soap or cooking spray.  Stickers are a universal problem anyway.The red goes with my rubicon shocks... Neat
Expect them to arrive well packed from merchant, but no matter what there will be chipped paint.  But if you're going to use them or install them you need to expect that.  Value and cost was still better than I could locate locally.  I then went to the local hardware store and bought a short length of foam pipe insulation and cut customer &#34;washers&#34; so that they would not rattle around on my AEV bumper.  I cut the washers a little thicker so that I could compress them snuggly when mounted.  It works perfectly, they do not bounce around and rattle and remain where I position them.
I have pulled many many cars, trucks, RVs, and 2 ton trucks pulling RVs with these shackles. They are built TOUGH! Wow they are heavy duty. The paint starts to wear off but that is expected! You wont be disappointed!
Great Price, but the paint job is very low quality and as others mentioned impossible to get the sticker off.
I bought this based on all of the good reviews, and I was quite disappointed when I received the product. The finish seems decent and has good heft to it, but the receiver is entirely too small and it has lots of play in the hitch. Furthermore, where the receiver gets narrow to allow for the d-ring to install, mine was completely off center and uneven. And yes, this is made in China.
Man this thing came in the mail and I was suprised at how heavy duty this thing is, Jeez man it seems like you could pull a house down with this thing, great welds and very tough looking
I have a 2014 Tundra. The receiver is good heavy solid metal. It has a nice smooth finish on it. It fits in my 2 inch receiver with no problem at all. The bad is the Shackle was a pain to unscrew the pin. It looks like they painted the shackle and then the pin and then put it together while the pain was still wet. Also the threads are a little off. Not to the point it doesn't turn but it takes you to get you man hands on to turn the pin. The pain on there looks like some cheap generic paint they dipped it in. Not like the receiver which is power coated. Now the UGLY.... looking at the shackle i really question if it will hold together. It looks like it broke during casting and they JB wield it together and put the cheap crappy paint on it. So i dont regret buying it but i would suggest getting some extra Shackles.
Just like the others have stated. It came with chipped paint. Fit in the receiver very loose. I am going to use it when I need it. But the chips were most likely from the was it was packaged for shipping. The loose fit is from the manfacturer not doing their homework and taking their proper measurments. Fits to loose.
Solid chunk of steel, not boxed and welded, or welded onto the end of a piece of square tube.  .
Great finish, looks good on the truck, used for recovery straps.  Only wish there was a way to secure the pin so that the pin and shackle won't get &#34;lost&#34;
This is a solid item - not hollow or thin like some others.  Paint/powdercoat looks good and the I don't see any rust or bare metal.A big bar code sticker is on one side, but I am leaving it there - no big deal.  Fits in receiver with very little wiggle room, at least I don't hear any noise when moving it around.  Lined up easily with my jeep's receiver.Tightened up the shackle with a screw driver and will leave this on my jeep's rear 2&#34; receiver to replace a hitch step I had back there.Seems like I could pull an H1 with this thing.  Would buy again.
Whew!  This is a solid block of steel.  Extremely well made.  The shackle is nicely threaded, easy to remove.  Don't hesitate to buy this piece of equipment.
Used this and a Smittybuilt 30,000lb strap to tow and extract all kinds of toys and vehicles from a variety of terrain including snow, sand, rain, ditch, whatever.Works great, fits great in the receiver. Don't really care what it looks like as long as it works - but it looks great on my rig. Highly recommended.
So, this hitch/shackle is VERY well constructed, but has a HUGE flaw. The edges of mine aren't rounded over, and it won't fit in my receiver!!  I have a standard hitch receiver, I think made by Reese, which has a rounded-edge square opening, NOT perfectly square.  I guess they tried to save costs by just using square bar stock. What a PITA.
Exactly fits a 2&#34; receiver, no slop and not oversized as reported for some other manufacturers. Black finish arrived immaculate - but I realize it won't stay that way. the red pin is a nice accent.
Solid - quality - good price - it does what it is supposed to do - I would recommend this if you want to get pulled out of a stuck situation or whatever...
Nice heavy receiver block. This works great with tow straps when I have to pull friends out of the ditch after a good snow.
This thing fits like a glove! After 3 days I noticed the silver facing started bubbling and was worried it was going to fall apart in a matter of days. Its been a few weeks and it still looks the same and its holding together fine.I sent an e-mail to the manufacturer, but never heard back.... go figure.For the price, its not worth it, you can shop around and probably find one half the price.If you have a passenger in the seat next to you when removing it, it gets pretty cumbersome to remove and roll up.
The sunshade is very well made and fits perfectly.  Previous to getting this shade I was never able to find one that fit the small Jeep window.  I have had some lower cost shades for several years but I expect this one to last a very long time.  It rolls up into a roll and has a Velcro strap to keep it closed.The only negative is that I wish it had some type of Jeep logo on the side facing out.
This is the 3rd HeatShield sunscreen I've bought. (And to clarify for 3 different cars)They fit the vehicle perfectly (and in the case of the Jeep are so small, that it is hardly noticeable when rolled-up.)I will never use a generic (S.M,L) sun screen again.
Sunshade fits vehicle very well.  It is hard to find a sunshade that small.  Great product and fit like a glove.
It does what it is supposed to and the quality is not bad.  I would recommend this to anyone.  Cop it
Best tire pressure gauge you can get!!  Worth every penny! It is very precise and hold air pressure very well! Highly recommend this one!
I really like the design of this gauge; very easy to get positive seal around the tire valve with the rotating chuck. Less expensive than the &#34;hold reading&#34; version.
So tired of the old stick gauges that make you worry when you get a wild high reading now and then.  Fill over your desired point with the air chuck and then use this gauge pressing the bleed button to bring the air down to the exact pressure you want.  The dial is marked and spaced such that it is easy to estimate to quarter pound increments, not that I need that but it appears to have more resolution than necessary which is great.  It cross checks to other gauges with the same or near same pressure so it may be accurate.as well as precise, I need to find a calibration technique for this to make sure.
Works great. With multiple cars and multiple motorcycles, I'm always checking the tire pressures. This one is accurate and easy to use
I've bought this one but never used it so far. Pros is that it looks professional. cons is that I did not use it.
Tire gauges aren't the kind of thing that makes very many people excited. Unless the gauge is a poorly designed, piece of junk that you REALLY want to throw in the trash!  But you don't have another one handy so you keep it, and go through the hassle next time you use it.Do yourself a favor - get one of these!  Well made (in the USA!!), VERY reasonably priced, and dead-on accurate!Then toss the old one away, or give it to someone you don't like very much.  Let it get them frustrated!!
This is a very good gauge for all the cars and trucks in my family which I take care of.
This thing is great. Very well-made, very precise, seems like it will last a long time. Glow in the dark paint on the face doesn't really work very well, but I pretty much always have a light (phone) in my pocket, so no issue there. Definitely recommended.
I really can't see giving this less than 4 stars..  No peak hold,  but thats not an issue..  The gauge is like an indiglo color at night which is great.  The numbers are highly visible,  and clear..  Item seems a bit  bigger than the photo leads on.  Otherwise good product.
Bought this tire gauge because of the flexible tube, makes it easy to reed the gauge. Its easy to set the pressure with the button on the side of the gauge, just slightly over set the air pressure, than bleed it off to the correct pressure.
I like this gauge. Got two electronic gauges, one of the old style pencil gauges, and one on the compressor with a dial.Got this one for the motorcycle because the compressor is too far away and the portable air pump gauge is waaaay off!The other digital ones are okay, but I wanted to be able to set 36 pounds and this on lets you overfill, set and hold the gauge on there, and bleed off the air to exactly the amount you want.They tell you in the instructions included with the gauge to get one that has your most used pressure somewhere towards the middle. Like this one for the 30 pound range and the 0-30 one for the lower ranges, etcetera. Makes sense, of course.
I take full responsibility in not researching this enough but, this model just has a vent down button to allow you to drop the air pressure down to the pressure that you want. I wanted the &#34;hold&#34; function and purchased the wrong one. If you want the hold function then you want JOES PN# 32310.Overall, I am very happy with the product. I have measured it against other tire pressure gauges that I trust and is always comes out right where it should be. The gauge is easy to read and the rubber surround helps minimize drop impacts and marring a wheel if you happen to drop it on the wheel somehow. It is well made and looks very nice. I can use it on cars and motorcycles that have odd angles to get to the valve stem.
This is the best tire gauge.  You put it on there, and it measures like champ.  Don't drop it - you could hurt it.  I like how it looks like a little tire, almost reminding me of what it's supposed to be used on.  Use it to pump your tires up to max sidewall pressure and you'll get 5MPG or more for free if you coast.
I ended up purchasing this gauge after comparing it to the similar Longacre gauge. The glow in the dark feature is nice, although I haven't used it in the dark yet it would be easy to read.
Gauge and hose attachment appear to be of high quality. Unit works as it should and when compared to other pressure guages, seems to be very accurate. The only thing I had to get used to is that the pressure releases as soon as you remove the guage from the tire. All of my old guages held the pressure until you manually released it. Not a big deal, once used for a while I'm sure I will not notice it anymore. Great product.
A well made and accurate tire pressure gauge. It is easy to read and is shock mounted in a rubber bumper to protect the indicator. It also has a relief valve so you can release additional pressure from the tire as you observe the pressure on the dial.
I am amazed that I can no longer walk into a local auto pars store and purchase a quality air gauge. Every thing local is cheep China junk so I decided to turn to Amazon. I searched long and hard to find the best gauge for the money; I purchased this one based on the many positive reviews.  I thought I wanted a gauge that would hold the reading when moved away from the tire as I had one years ago that had that feature. I found to get that feature in a quality gauge I would almost double my investment and I was no willing to do that.So,I decided to give this unit a try. After using this gauge I now find I prefer the way this gauge works better than one that holds the reading when released.  I find it is so easy fill my tire a few pounds over then tap the air release button to obtain the exact tire pressure needed in seconds and I'm done and off to the next tire. This thing I guess is a true racing gauge as I had no idea how it would speed up the process of inflating my tires to the exact correct pressure.I like the solid look and feel of quality and the glow in the dark face is cool looking.  I could not be happier with my purchase and feel the quality is great and the price is right. The pressure relief valve is simply perfect and so easy to get the exact pressure. No more cheep gauges for me!  I give the Joes Racing 32307 my highest recommendation!Buy it you'll like it...Your tires deserve this!
I love this gauge! I had a cheaper copy version of this that worked fine, but I dropped it one day about two feet to the concrete floor and it was done. This one is much more well made and works perfectly. It easily seats and seals on the valve stem and is very accurate. I have a few other gauges I use on my FJR, one that talks (it is accurate, but difficult to seat on the stem). Another one that is digital (but again, difficult to seat). And a host of the auto store pocket style, that read all over the place. Tire pressure is very important for safe motorcycling and makes your tires last longer. I bought one for my son and he loves it too!Buy this gauge.
This is a quality, well-built gauge at a good price. It is bulky but I got tired of using inaccurate gauges that fit easily into the glove box. It has two different fittings for the end that goes on the tire valve stem. One is of the gas station air hose type. I saw no reason to change to it.
Pros - Easy to read / rubber line is very flexible / bleed valve works quickly / well built and sturdyCons - People will try to &#34;liberate&#34; it from my toolbox
This is a great pressure gauge.  The size is just right to fit comfortably in my hand and allows for easy reading.  The bleeder button is perfectly situated so that I can hold one hand on the valve stem and in the other hand read the pressure and operate the bleeder.  This makes keeping your tires inflated properly a breeze- you simply fill them up a little too much, then attach this gauge and bleed each down to the exact desired pressure.It has a quality feel and seems to have rugged construction.  I think it will last a long time and am very happy with this purchase.
I use this at the track and every few days to check the pressures on my car. Does exactly what it says it will and is highly accurate.
A very high quality, accurate, and easy to use device. I actually leave this in my wife's car and she's able to use it without issue (compared to my rather complicated digital model). I like the adapter that it comes with for low profile wheels. When my digital gauage goes I will likely buy another one of these.
Like the product as the gauge is simple to read and use.I use it to check the pressure on my motorcycle and the fitting access on my rim is really restricted.With the 2 connector options provided with the gauge, I am able to check my tire pressure with little effort.
I bought this gauge on Amazon (with one of my other accounts) and absolutely love this product.  It comes with two different valve stem heads, but I like the stock one.  The head swivels, so it is easy to position the head in relation to the valve stem.  I checked the tire pressure as compared to two other gauges and it read the same, so I believe it to be accurate.  I really like the bleed feature so you can slightly overfill your tire, and then bleed the pressure down until it is exactly correct.  I will be ordering another soon, so I have a spare!  You can see my video on youtube under redonkilaus if you are interested in seeing it in action.
Works very well. I can go to the station and overfill my tires...then just bleed off to the perfect pressure with this baby. I am very happy with this investment.
When I want to know the &#34;right&#34; pressure, thank goodness I have this device.  It is 100% accurate for the 6 months or so I've had it.  Very reliable.  Don't drop it, though.  Like any scientific device, it needs to be handled with respect and care in order to maintain reliability.
Better than expected. This is a higher grade home garage repairman. Priced well compared to the durability and high quality design. Highly recommend.
I purchased Joe's racing pressure gauge about a month ago because i autox weekly and require a dead accurate readings to ensure proper handling and even tire wear.  This is important since autox tires are made of a soft compound and when they overheat and the pressure is not correct...well...the tire guys start to love you.  so if you autox, you should consider this pressure gauge.this gauge displays psi in single units so you can accurately see the pressure and make adjustments.  Speaking of adjustments, this gauge comes with a release valve to release pressure when the tires heat up.  I'm sure most of you are aware but for those of you who are not...your tire pressure increase when your tires heat up (driving in the street or racing), so the release valve comes in handy when releasing the pressure between runs.The quality of this piece is very good, materials used are robust and the dial indicator in a rubber protector thingy so you should get a lot of miles out of this gauge.with other gauges, I had issues getting the gauge to read properly because i was not able to get it properly seated to the valve...this is not an issue with this gauge.Great product and i highly recommend it.
This gauge is perfect!- Its solid and the angled head works perfectly for my rims.- The bleed option is perfect since overfilling is my preferred choice (gauge does not hold rating and resets for those that didnt know)I wish the cable was a bit more flexible but the rugged design allows me to wedge it under the tire while i get the pressure :-)
I have purchased several of these over time, all of them are still accurate and still work perfectly. Pretty sturdy construction and good quality materials, well worth its price. Only minor drawback is that the rubber casing and fins are somewhat &#34;firm&#34;, would be nicer if they would be more &#34;soft&#34;, they would absorb the accidental impacts/drops better...
Unlike other reviewers I would have to say I have been very disappointed with this product.  I have purchased two of them, and one seemed to be okay.  The second was more than 5-10 psi off accurate measure.  I checked it against the first unit and a completely different manufacturer's measure.  Even the rather crude gauge on my air tank measured more accurately than this gauge.  At this price the gauge should be very accurate and reliable.  Not the case for me.
Just what I was looking for. There are so many cheap pressure gauges all over the place,it was nice to finally get a real nice one that does multiple tasks.
Great, easy to read gauge. I've had a couple of more expensive gauges that either died or mysteriously started reading odd pressures. This gauge is easily the best one I've owned. The bleeder valve is a nice touch. The face is easy to read once &#34;charged up&#34; by exposure to light even when it's dark out.
This is an excellent, very affordable tire gauge. Actually, it's very inexpensive for what it does. The biggest problem is that those buying this style of gauge for the first time do not know how to use it properly. Perhaps the following will help.The proper use of any gauge with a hose and dial requires two hands. Period. One to hold the chuck on tight, and one to bleed off excess air. Always overfill by a few psi and gently bleed out the excess. It works every time. You don't use this type of gauge like a pencil gauge. The gauge goes on two times max per tire. First time, check pressure. If ok, you are done. If you need to add air, add air then place gauge on tire and hold in place. Do not remove it until final adjustment is made. No on off, on off. It's that simple.Incidentally, no one needs a hold feature on a gauge that is visible while in use. It is a waste of money and pointless. The whole idea is to keep this style of gauge firmly in place and bleed off excess air. Once you learn to use it, it will make perfect sense.
I ordered this and discovered it wouldn't hold the reading until you hit the release button.  It does allow for air adjustment.  The quality seemed okay.. until I received their water filled version and then you learn what quality is all about.  It seemed accurate when compared to other gauges.
This analog tire pressure gauge is better than a digital model, those require a working battery. This works anywhere, any time,  unlike a digital model which will fail to work in extreme cold temps or if you reach for it only to find the battery has died.I like that the part you press on the vale stem swivels. I had an older Griot's Garage model previously that did not swivel and this one is much easier to use.It also seems quite accurate and very sturdy and should last decades, if treated well. I don't think you could get a better one for the price.Note-the most accurate way to inflate your tires is to inflate a bit beyond where it needs to be and then use the built in bleeder valve button on this tire gauge to bring the air pressure down to where you want it. Works super!
The readings are repeatable and match up to my other gauges. Being able to push a button near the gauge to release air is very convenient. Especially when filling my motorcycles front tire as it's a pain to get any gauge between the spokes and the dual brake rotors. Now I just have to contort my hand and air chuck onto the valve stem once, put in a bit more air than needed, and then once I've got the gauge on there bleed it down until it's just right.
It's a very good gauge, good quality. I am sure it will last. I bought it about 6 months ago, used not many times though, but whenever did, measurements were very precise and consistent. Out of all amazon gauges I do recommend this one. I picked it and did not regret.
Works great. Came recommended from local repair/tire shop.Very easy to read dial and blow off valve built into dial is fantastic!
Good product at a good price. I also own a Moroso gauge that looks and works about the same but it is about 3 times as expensive.
This is probably the best Tire Pressure Gauge I have ever purchased.  Some people might think twice about spending 20+ collars on an tire pressure gauge, but it is VERY accurate, sometimes my cheap slime one showed 5 psi different than this one. I'm not a racer but I like my car to have the exact PSI the manufacture of the car says to have, my tires will last longer and the car will ride better!
I USED 3 CANS OF THIS LOW GRADE JUNK CLEARCOAT AFTER APPLYING THE BASECOAT. IT WAS LIKE GLASS WHEN APPLYING AND FINISHED..2 HRS LATER IT WAS LIKE A SATIN FINISH LOOK..A DULL SHINE..CALLED DUPLICOLOR FOR A REFUND..STILL WAITING..THEY BLOW!!
I used this to finish the coat on my '98 F150.  It is an excellent clear coat match.  The only problem is that you will probably need more than one can.  8 oz. is just not enough.
Did a touch up on my sons 96 Maxima bumpers and used this as the final touch for finishing.  This puts a very nice, thin coat over the new paint and allows a gloss to penetrate the new paint and show it's real colors.For the price, and ease of using it, this is a must have for any touch up job larger than using a pen or small brush.  Excellent coverage, and great looking final coat.  Only time will tell if it ever yellows or not, but for now, the old car looks pretty darn good!
The clearcoat applied fine out of the can. It had an even appearance and dried to a nice, smooth finish.
i used this product on a fender of a 2004 i knew it would not be a perfect match but thought it would be closer. i probably would have been almost as close looking at the colors of caps on the spray paint in walmart! this product would be better for use in a less visible i touched up a small area under the door and that isn't bad.
I replaced my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's tailgate.  This paint was a dead match for the stock color.  Plenty of coverage to do the tailgate with a few coats, but you're not going to paint the whole car with this can.  Paint dried well, didn't orangepeel, and looks great in the sun.  I finished it off with the USC clear coat http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043B7UQY/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_27After a few days in the sun and drying time, the tailgate looks like it was stock.  If I ever have to replace something else, I'll use this paint again.
Better price than what my dodge dealer was charging, and cheaper too without having to wait 2 weeks for it come in.  Looks perfect.
This Dupli-Color paint was decent match for the OEM paint on my old Dodge pickup. Just like almost all automotive paints I've used, this spray paint needs a top coat of clear lacquer to give it the shine and appearance of OEM paint. Before using it, I made sure the paint was at room temperature and thoroughly shaken. It sprayed smoothly without spurting or leaving blobs on the surface and it dried to the touch in about thirty minutes or so. The last OEM color matched automotive spray paint I bought from PaintScratch.com was around twenty-five dollars per twelve ounce can plus shipping, so I was happy to find this Dupli-color paint here on Amazon. I'll probably order a few more cans to have on hand for touch ups.
This product was easy to install, but it seems loose.  The plastic funnel can move around slightly and isnt as snug as I expected.  But except for that, it looks great.  I painted the screws black for a different look
Easy to install and looks great  Should be standard on the JKU.  Looks great and helps add to the look of the 2014 JKU.
Here's the deal - I give this a 5 star for looks and a 1 star for installation instructions and price (average of 3).  The instructions are bad drawings only - you should take a look at a video on you tube before you install - that will save you a lot of time.  This looks great and dresses up the Jeep, but at $100, it's really over priced.Nevertheless, it looks great and would still probably buy it again.
Easy installation and perfect fit. I complemented the written instructions with a similar YouTube video and that did the trick. Looks great.
As an OEM part, I expected the fit to be good and the installation simple. Fit was good, installation was not good primarily because of the drawing-only instructions. I understand MOPAR is a global enterprise and pictures eliminate the whole technical translation issue. But the instructions are so unclear that it made the job unnecessarily complicated. I eventually scrapped the instructions and used a common sense approach to finish the job. I am not a mechanic but I am comfortable around a car. But a novice could struggle.Worse case by it and the next time you take the car to the garage ask the mechanic to throw it in. Give him a few bucks and you will both be happy.
I received the cover and it took only 10 minutes to install.  It looks great and is functional.  I had really gotten tired of the open gas filler area.  The chrome screws that can be seen from the outside are just for looks it seems, since the filler assembly is held to the quarter panel with plastic snaps.The directions that came with it had no words, only drawings.  However, overall the drawings were good.  One of the drawings had you remove the wiring connector going to the rear taillight.  This is not really necessary, just slide the connector off of the clip that is holding it to the taillight.  The second drawing that is not quite clear is drawing #7.  It shows the rubber gasket that goes around the filler tube.  Basically, the rubber gasket is attached to the filler assembly.  When you remove the assembly from the quarter panel the rubber gasket comes off with it.  You can then remove it and then reattach it to the filler tube opening of the new assembly.  When you reattach the filler assembly to the quarter panel it goes around the filler tube.I researched all of the different after market covers and decided on this one.  I really did not like the idea of those filler doors that were simply a cover over the existing assembly.  This OEM assembly looks original and enhances the appearance of the vehicle.  I contemplated getting a locking cover but decided against it.  Simply too many keys already with the under seat lock boxes, etc.
Easy to install and requires only removal of 2 screws. Took about 15 minutes because I did it slow and easy
as others have stated, it doesn't sit quite as snug to the body as the original gas cap surround, but I can't really see a noticeable gap anywhere, just that you can turn it slightly side to side as much as the locating pin will allow. The allen screws just hold the aluminum outer ring to the new inner plastic surround. I may take it back off ( and probably risk breaking a tab) and try putting a ring of silicone around the backside. I would definitely recommend applying some silicone to it for anyone doing it for the first time.... don't wait and see if it fits loose first, it will.
OEM product.  Well made and easy to install.  Remove the driver's side tail light, push in clips that hold the original.  Take of rubber grommet and put on new new door.  Push the door in until it snaps into place.  The hardest part is getting the grommet in place.
Really adds to the appearance of my Jeep. Easy to install, and works great. Factory should take a look at these, and add to future models.
Fits 2014 JKU Sahara perfectly. Simple Install. Before this purchase went to NAPA and bought a locking gas cap to prevent any sort of vandalism that may occur because what kind of kids are being brought up now-a-days.
Looks great!  Took a little bit to install on my 2014 Rubicon Unlimited when I couldn't reach all the clips to uninstall the factory one but the rest was easy.  The instructions are all pictures and no words but you'll get the idea real quick.  Great addition to my Jeep!
should be a factory part.  covers the gas cap, looks fantastic in my opinion, and it was easy to install with 1 philips head screw driver and 10 minutes of time including watching it done on youtube, since the included sheet of instructions had no words and wasnt really very good.just make sure to watch the video of putting it in and you wont mess anything up like putting the gasket on wrong or something.
OK, the mounting was more of a pain in the backside than a problem, but the look it adds to the vehicle more than makes up for the steps you go through to mount this item.  This is way better than the ones that you simply stick to the side of your vehicle with the 3M tape.  I would much rather pay a little more and go through the steps this one takes to install rather than ever going with the cheap stick-on type.  Great product with a great look that I would go with again.
Looks Great, and Very easy to install.  If I wouldn't have been putting it on a brand new jeep (because of that I took some extra time) it would be a really quick install.
Exactly what I was looking for and they fit both of my cars. There was no problems with threads being cut short or anything thing else.
This kit has every kind of screw, spacer or adapter a man could want to mount a licence plate bracket or license plate. Worth the money, get one today!
Should have used a screw gauge but oh well. Screws are well made with no burs and the allen wrench  worked well if enough room. Would have been nice if both ends of the allen wrench had the center dimple but for my use it wasn't necessary.
One stop shopping for quality stainless hardware to mount licence plates. everything is included. The price is a bit on the high side.
Great kit to enable the user to mount any tag an cover to their automobile. For the complete look and security on your tags.
i was in search on an inverter to power up laptops and dvd players for long car trips for the kid
I've used inverters for many years, and find corded version, more versatile.  I had several compact models such asBESTEK 150W 3.1A USB Ipad charger power inverter car dc 12v 110v car adapter usb charger car samsung adapter pda car charger htc tablet charger mp3 car adapter iphone charger car ipad adapter charger blackberry car adapter laptop charger 1511Cand the biggest problem is they can be so bulky that they interfere with the gear shifter on dashboard 12V sockets or a tight squeeze in consoles 12V sockets.  Many of them get warm to hot at full load, and in my experience, if they end up hot, it shortens their lifespan, and sure enough my old inverter died too.This device is about the size of a box of playing cards.  The fan makes a very faint whine that is inaudible when a car is in motion, and the LED is bright enough to see in daylight.  Its fairly easy to locate because its cabled, and keeping it out of consoles allows it to breath and stay cool, it always seems to run cool.  When plugged into a dashboard socket, it doesn't interfere with the shifter.ProsProvides its rated power without problems, both as 120V and 12VCorded versatility, easy to relocate to best positionQuietSmall & Compact; easily to storeUSB port allows me to use any good cable, be it mini or micro USB say for GPS or cell phone respectivelyConsDoesn't come with USB cablesShould come with a small bag to hold all the parts togetherThis low cost charger is a modified sine wave inverter, similar to many inverters in this class.  It works for most devices, but can give problems powering 2-way radios or audio amplifiers because of the electrical noise this technology creates, and is expected.  Its fine for wall warts, electric motors, chargers, but not everything.
I take an extension cord camping with a queen sized air matress with a built in pump.  This works great for blowing that up.  Also the 2.1A usb port charges my phone when I have music and GPS running.  I like it quite a bit.
Pros:Very smallVery quietLooks sturdyFusedEnergy efficient, can power 9 watts for 5 hours on an old 12v 7ah battery.Great for mosquito repellent devices.AffordableLooks pretty attractiveNicely boxed.Cons:No power buttonPaint can scratch off easily since there is no "rubber" protection around it.Fingerprints will show all over it.Fan seems to be on all the time at full speed.Fan will wear out quickly at that speed.Tried to power a 19" old school tv (39 watts) and it could not power it up.The start-up draw was too much apparently and the TV kept switching offimmediately after it tried to power on. Big disappointment there.Conclusion: Ordinary inverter. Hope it lasts. Nothing special but the small size.
Does exactly what I had planned and makes up for lack of a 120VAC outlet in the car.  Small enough to fit in the console and not take up much space.
I bought this after my previous cheap quality inverter burned down after my jacket zipper short circuited the power.  The problem with the previous one was that it had a lot of exposed surfaces.What I like about this:(1) Works very well - charged laptop, cell phone ... so far so good(2) Corded, instead of plugged this will keep it safe as well as a good utility since I can reach it to power a laptop in the rear seats(3) Single unit with both 110v as well as 12v USB power so I can charge my laptop as well as iphone at the same time(4) Safe, enclosed unit(5) Cool, has a inbuilt fan which keeps switching on/off a couple of times whenever it needs to cool off - the fan is pretty silent, you can hear it only when your car is parked
Just the right size,not too long and the smoke is just the right tint for me(not too dark).Matter of fact I have bought two.
Fits most helmets with 3 snaps.  The picture does not match the product on the website.  Picture shows a visor.  Product is actually a face shield.  Took a chance and ordered it hoping I was getting a shield and did.  Face shield works well.  Keeps the wind from drying my eyes out.  It's more like a half shield.  Only comes down to about nose level, which I also like.
This is a pretty good quality visor.  The lens is not over tinted with no distortion.  Fits right on to Raider Deluxe Helmet.
This is a great item to have if you use a 1/2 or 3/4 helmet.  I keep it in my sidebag during the summer with my rainsuit in the case it starts to rain (I wear a full face helmet in cooler weather).  I then use this shield to keep the rain out of my eyes.  Excellent quality and fit.
Easy to install. Fits perfect and allows you to attach your visor too!Great price and I would recommend it.Not a full face one but does the job. The tint is not real dark but does the job.Get yourself one.
I connected one end of this Female Cigarette Adapter to the motorcycle battery and I can easily use the other end to charge my cellphone or use the air pump. Very convenient.
We mpounted these on our harleys to charge up our phones and out ipods while we were traveling! We love them!
I bought this without reading the fine print, I expected this to come with the battery terminals, guess what, it does not, that is a 5 dollar accessory that had I known I would probably not bought this. It appears to be good quality and I chose to keep it for the price. Not to mention it will come in handy at some point. Read the fine print.
The Battery Tender 081-0069-8 Female Cigarette Adaptor for Quick Disconnect has been used for a volt metter reading of the battery on my motorcycle and GPS.
I can now mount my CB or take my CB out depending on my much space I will be using on a certain run.
The will work on Harley chargers and works great. Has a long enough cord to use on the handle bars or to place in your bags to charge phones or accessories. Nice sturdy product that is well worth the cash you will pay if you want some way to charge or run something 12 volt without running wires. Great shipping. Thanks again Amazon.
A great heavy duty extension for connecting devices! The weather proof cap is securely connected to protect it from the elements.
I bought this item to use on my ATV and will buy another one as it works so good. This item is a must if your going long distances on your rides.
I carry this as a spare for my motorcycle.  It appears well constructed and it works well enough.  Connected directly to battery in this application.
Bought this item to use with my motorcycle.  I keep it in my saddlebag and only use it if I need to charge my cellphone or gps on the fly.  The plug is the same and mates up to the battery charger pigtail that is on the bike, so all I have to do is plug it in and it's ready to use.
If you already have a Battery Tender Pig-Tail installed on your motorcycle, this is a must have addition if you're a biker.  I frequently go on long motorcycle trips and when I stopped for a break I was always looking for a place to plug in.  Now there's no more concern about my cell phone battery going dead or any of my other rechargeable battery devices.  I plug in to the bike just like someone would do in their car, it's great.
Another fine product from Battery Tender! I use this to plug my ARB cooler into,while connected to my deep cycle battery.This is heavy duty,and can carry more current than the other junk that's out there on the market! C.
I bought this along with a quick connect cord and it worked like a charm. I used it for my wife's cell phone on our 2008 1100 vstar. Cord was more than long enough! Make sure to remember there is no bracket to attach it to anything (kind of a bumber), would have been perfect if it did). Wires were thicker than expected (made me feel safer with it) and connector was good quality. All in tall this this works great and is a fair price. The quality is definitely suitable.
I have a battery tender connection on my motorcycle, so when I saw this power adapter, I knew it would be a good accessory to carry on my motorcycle.  It plugs right in to my tender connection and is polarity correct.  It is great to provide power for any rechargeable device you might have while traveling on your motorcycle.
I bought this cigarette adapter for my motorcycle which has a battery tender connection. It plugs into the Battery Tender connector and then you can charge your cell phone or use a GPS or other accessories. The cord is nice and long so you can reach wherever you wish to place it on the bike and it has a weather cap to protect it if you wish to mount it permanently.. I have it in my luggage as a safety in case my cell phone needs charging and I need assistance. The price is very reasonable and it was delivered quickly.
This 12v cigarette lighter socket and attached wire are for my motorcycle to power my cell phone and/or GPS unit.  I already have the Battery Tender shore line connection on the battery, so all I do is plug my cigarette lighter line into that, and unplug it to insert the charger lead.  Very convenient and I drape it over the handlebar cables out of the way when not in use, where it doesn't become another obstruction hard-mounted to the bars.  Good idea that's very useful.
I have a BMW brand battery tender which came with only a cigarette lighter plug.  I use this female connector to convert the plug to battery clamp connectors when needed.
Use this product on my motorcycle to charge multiple devices.  works perfect with a gps or any other portable electronic devices.
I like the fact that the cord is very long.  I haven't actually figured out where to mount it yet but for now I just hook it up to the SAE connector which the previous owner spliced into the headlight power feed.  The nice thing about this is it stops when the key is turned off.  If I need a charge while off I could always go into the battery tender feed which is under the pillion.  But for now this works pretty well.I use it to charge my phone and my Sena and both work well with it.
Have you ever been on a ride, taking beautiful back roads and knowing it really doesn't matter if you try that road or not.. the GPS will get you where you are going...UNTIL the battery goes dead and you have no clue where that beautiful road just took you. I'm the blonde that can't find her car in the parking lot where I left it so on a back road to no where was just ugly.  I would have paid big bucks then to have this charger!  I am SO grateful to have this on the bike now!!  And, its not a bad price! At least someone in the group will know how to get out of that mess if you have this charger. :-)
I got this plug to hook up onto my battery tender cable on my Harley so I can add an accessory if needed in a pinch and it is working out great. When not needed, I unplug the accessory and store the cable and outlet in my saddlebag of the Harley Road King.
Wanted this foe my motorcycle, and one that has a cover to keep out the weather. Not sure if it's completely waterproof though. It does come with a long cord.
Connect it to your Battery Tender, and it works perfectly to charge your devices.  I charge an iPhone 4s with it.
Cheap way to get power from my BMW plug to my GPS as I have a plug that runs to the battery tender and uses this same end.
This adaptor connects directly to my Deltran Battery Tender quick-connect hanging from the side of my motorcycle. I charged my MP3 player today with the motorcycle battery while bike was running and not running. Works like a charm. A good purchase.
Sorry It didn't work for me.  No connection from one end to the other and not worth monking with.  Not recomended possibly because I may have just got a defective one.  Hey,  it happens and lots of positive reviews.
I purchased this adapter mainly, to use on my motorcycle, in order to charge my cell phone's battery. The adapter is very well made and works with my other Battery Tender products. I can plug it into the plug that's connected to my motorcycle's battery. This adapter will allow me to connect other male cigarette type plug products like GPS,radio,etc on my motorcycle.
wire sez 2x18wga - so, not too hefty, but good for the price.pic shows gold plating, which is not the case on the 2 items I received - no big deal.
I needed this in order to charge a cell phone during a motorcycle trip.  Can be installed permanently or just take it along to use when parked, by plugging into your fused Battery Tender connector. Requires your 12vdc phone charger or other accessory with automotive accessory power connector.
I ran two of the direct battery terminal wires off the motorcycle battery and placed this in the saddlebag. Now I can plug in my GPS, iPhone, Helmet speaker for charging while riding or parked. I don't have to be at 110V plug in.
I use this in my basement to connect my Slime compressor to my battery tender lead for inflating the tires on my motorcycle. Since I don't have access to an auto cigarette lighter outlet there, this works perfectly. Great product.
I absolutely love this item for keeping my phone charged while riding or parked at Charity events. Very useful & would definitely recommend!
EExcellent build, buy it together with the extending and use it in multiple applications, so I highly recommend it for all 12V DC applications
Another handy item to have to charge a phone, GPS or any small item that needs a cigarette plug to operate it.
If you have intentions on using this for a cigarette lighter you might want to look else where. The socket is too big. But if you want to use this as a charger, then it will work.
Not a bad product. Very long cable and plugs up with no problems. Only thing I didn't care for was the cap doesn't fit real well. Just used a zip tie to secure the end to the bars.
Like other reviewers have mentioned it will not work with an actual cig lighter (I had to try just to see).  I have had some difficulty keeping longer plugs in so I have a string that I use for tying any longer ones in if needed and use a short dual usb plug as this is all I wanted it for to begin with.  I love the adapter end and how well it works with my tender set up.  I do wish the cord had a cover for when the plug is not connected.
I have a battery tender on Ruby (Ruby is my Harley Davidson XL883) and need to be able to charge a phone from time to time.  So, after looking at the options out there, I went with this.There's a neat little dust cap that keeps out wet, dust etc. and, this painlessly plug into the existing plug that my battery tender uses. So, no need to splice and, I can just connect / disconnect at will.
I bought this as an aux power outlet to power my cellphone while I made a cross country trip on my motorcycle. Worked like a charm.
This item works fine, both on a tender and as a draw from my battery on the bike.  As long as it's not overly exposed to the elements, it's a pretty solid performer.  Would buy again.
Buying a Battery Tender has been one of the best purchases I have made in a while. The quick connect on the battery side lends itself perfectly to using accessories like this. This power port is perfect for charging my phone while I'm on my motorcycle. I can easily plug it in, plug the charger in, and put the whole mess in my backpack with the cord snaking out, and ride for hours. I can also run an AC inverter off the plug, and power a laptop when I'm camping on my bike. GREAT product, and a permanent addition to my riding gear.
Hooked this up the the Battery Tender 081-0069-6 Ring Terminal Harness, and brought a power outlet up to a pocket of my Goldwing motorcycle. It is a fast and easy way to get a power outlet where you need it. I also purchased another and cut off the end and used it to put a powered USB outlet in there too. Worked like a charm. Easy, and removeable if needed.
worked out good for me , not sure why some of the others were complaining , all you have to do is plug it in !  It has a good tight fitand worked like its advertised to do!!
If you have a bike with a battery tender this is a must have accessory. I use it to power my GPS and charge my cell phone when riding. I just attach it and throw it into the saddle bag of my Road King and I am all set.
The length of the cord makes this adaptor perfect for charging any of your devices while you're riding.  I can run the female end up into my riding bag between my handlebars, and plug in my Ipod, phone or even the male plug from my Garmin.  All of the bulky parts are enclosed in my bag with only the wire running along my tank.  Perfect and a great price too.
This is my second one purchasing and they work.  I do not know if it is the product or the way I hooked it up.  I have tried hooking it up two different ways.  Still when I use my phone hooked to my AMP and have the phone on the charger I get feed back from the bike engine.
The Cigarette Adaptor works great with the Barrery Tender, For easy access to multiple applications. Makes adapting accessarys aesy. Thanks
A well made replacement part for use with my system.  Quality is apparent and was easy to use with my battery maintainer / charger.  I can recommend this unit and the price was right on.
Two pin disconnect to a 12v socket.  Is there anything magical about it?  Nope.  Could you make it yourself?  Yup.Would it be the same build quality?  You tell me.No complaints here.  Wired it into my motorcycle (using one of tender cables with terminals on them) so I can power miscellaneous devices, and the cap it comes with seems like it would keep at least intermittent fluids out of the socket.
Great item. Water sealed and everything.  Highly suggest going with this if your shopping for an item like this. Good construction.
I use this product to hook up on my motorcycle and power my GPS when I go on longer trips. Very useful.
Great for charging my cell phone while riding my motorcycle or ATV.
No issues, just as described.  Used to plug phone charger on motorcycle.  Plugs into battery charger connection for Battery Tender.
Plenty of cord to route under my gas tank and install below the handle bars. Being that it plugs in to my Battery Tender cable, it is always live, so I will disconnect it when not in use. I wish it came with a cap for the connector to protect from dirt and corrosion when not connected.
I use it to keep my iphone going on long rides. Pandora and gps eat up the battery pretty quick and this adapter keeps it going
Pleased with this item. I use it to keep my smart phone/gps charged on my motorcycle. Does the job and price was good.
what needs to be said? this just works and is a VERY handy accessory to have if you have quick disconnect / SAE ends on your battery wiring.
I got my first one for my motorcycle and later ordered a second one for my golf cart. Their are so many uses for this...WM
Not impossible, he'll I did it but lost some skin getting them in. Look great once installed, just takes time.
Very difficult to set in the instructions are for a different model have not got them installed yet but I will i have been very busy.
While they look nice, they are a bit stubborn to get on. BE PATIENT!!! Grab a set of needle nose pliers and SLOWLY adjust the tabs on the sides, to grab onto the section that it needs to grasp. Once you have this complete, and you will know because the cover won't have much movement once placed onto the lens onto the correct slots. Once you verify that they are on there properly, take your needle nose pliers and SLOWLY and CAREFULLY start to bend the tabs back down, so they don't have any play in them. Like I said, they look nice, and I'd buy them again,,,,just getting them on securely, must be done with care.
These look great overall, so no complaints about the product.  The only issue, as you may read in other reviews, is the installation on the small fender lamps is a nightmare.  The front turn signal lights only took about 10 minutes, but the sides are very difficult to install.  The problem is you have to remove the light, which very difficult to work out of the plastic housing in front of it (behind the fender).  The project is do-able, but be prepared to spend some time and make sure you have plenty of patience before you start.
Everything about the design is a positive.  The metal is well finished and the paint looks good.  The included instructions have text in addition to just pictures.To elaborate on the included directions I have included the comments below:The larger guards (for turn signal) have three tabs that line up with the light holder. These were slightly too tight to place over the corresponding area on the light assembly. Bending them out slightly allows the guard to be attached easier.  The longest tab needs to be attached first and then the others.  If you have bent out the tabs some be sure to press them back in after the guard is attached.For the smaller guard (side lights) the directions have you completely removing the assembly.  I found it difficult to press the tab holding the lens to the fender assembly to perform this action.  However, I found this removal unnecessary and was able to separate the two assemblies (fender flare and fender) enough to slide the guard into place.Overall time to install was less than 20 minutes.
Good quality and shipped fast. Fits my 2009 Jeep Wrangler. Took a minute to figure out how to install it but once I read and understood the questions, it was okay.
Looks great, pretty easy to install if you know your way around the front end of a jeep. Install took about 20 minutes for all four. I had to wrestle with the front turn signal cages because the tabs did not match up perfectly with the signal housings, but after a while I was able to make them work. I set these up with a pair of headlight cages and tail light cages for my 2008 Jeep JKU Sahara and it looks awesome. Gives a custom look and I get a lot of complements on the setup.
Installed to the parking lights and fender lights. Directions didn't match my vehicle. Seems like the directions were for an older model jeep wrangler. I managed to get the parking light covers on but not the fender signal covers. Need to update your information rugged ridge.
I guess I just changed my mind about installing this product.why would I want to limit my light beams for false security. After taking so much stuff off the jeep,didn't make spence to put these on. Think about what your buying for your jeep or your gonna have a parts department in your garage.
I purchased two of these to assist in lifting the tailgate on my little trailer. I like them because once you get the tailgate open, it holds the tailgate in place, and will not come down until you physically lower it back down. One of the most important things when you install these in a new application is to make sure you get them positioned correctly. I have the formula for positioning these Springs should anyone need that information.
I was skeptical about using these 100 lb shocks in my RV when I first got them since I couldn't compress them no matter what I did.  However, I needed new struts to lift the platform that half our memory foam bed was on, so I installed them and boy do they work great!  They not only lift half of my bed up, but these struts keep the bed up so I can easily get stuff stored in the compartment under the bed.  My wife really likes using them.  However, these struts were so strong I had trouble keeping the bed completely down.  The platform wanted to raise up a few inches.  I fixed that with a couple of magnetic latches - a small price to pay for such super lifters.
We bought a new to us TT.  The master bed did not have struts for the storage.  I bought these.  I've never installed struts before so I didn't know I needed the ball joints also.  Had to run to the local RV supply store and they had them in stock.  The 100lb is about perfect for the bed once you get the bedding and everything on there.  My wife can open and close it with no problem.
I got these today..and tried to put on car... Well guess what... The holes at the attachment points are way too small... Big surprise. I would guess all these would be a standard size... So Beware folks,,, this makes them useless for me...
Replaced 80 lb. struts with these 100 lb. struts to keep a large door (75&#34; x60&#34;) on the back of a motorhome open.  The 80 lb. were week and almost cracked my head many times, and now they stay fully extended and taunt.
I bought these to replace my existing ones on my RV Bed. (The Bed lifts up for Storage)  I have upgraded my camper mattress to a full size residential Queen mattress. The new mattresses was much heavier then the original rv mattress so my bed would not lift up to access storage and stay up very heavy and the existing shocks would not hold it up.  Easily replaced with these 100lb shocks in minutes and it works like a dream.
I like getting these here for my Honda 2009 Fit, empty your glove box push in on the sides, glove box swings down. Grab each side of black filter holder and squeeze , pull towards you and it will side out pull off old filter or blow off with air compressor if not that dirty. New one will drop into place and push back into dash and replace glove compartment.These are half the Price here then at the dealer and install in minutes, very happy with product.
Good filter for your Honda Fit (and various other models). Cheap and convenient when ordering other maintenance items from Amazon. As good as the OEM part.
I figure it's about time to teach the teenager kid how to take care of their joy ride Honda Fit and show the viewers how easy to install a part that dealers want $45 to perform.  Well, my 16 year old did it in 5 minutes following my verbal instructions. It did NOT require to cut 3 tabs as other reviews mentioned and fits perfectly.  Make sure the FLOW arrow is pointed DOWNWARD which is label on the filter's side.  Filter paper is thin but as long as it filter out pollen, exhausted gas, and filthy leaves, I'm happy.
This is the 2nd TYC air filter I've purchased.  The 1st one was for my Honda CRV, which fit great, so I purchased this one for my Honda Fit.  Easier to replace than my old CRV.As others have noted, the TYC filter has three strips of glue and require an easy snipping of the adhesive on the opposite ends.  What you want is to be able to have the end walls separate from the rest of the pleats so you can seat the filter properly into the frame.  It is a very easy step, a scissor or a knife will work, you may even be able to tear and separate the adhesive with your hands if you are careful enough.  It's so simple, I wouldn't even dock it any stars.  So, on the Fit, open your glove compartment, take out all the junk you have in there, just squeeze in the sides of the glovebox walls, drop the glovebox lower (it's hinged so it won't fall off) and you have access to the cabin filter frame in the back.  Release the left and right clips and slide out the frame with the air filter.  Replace with new filter and put everything back together.Remember to note the direction of the air flow (I believe it's downward) and remember to seat the filter properly.  You should see a little "lip" like protruding plastic part on the frame (opposite ends).  Slide your filter into this part (both ends), you want to do so or there will be air that can possibly get bypass the filter.  It is because of this part on the frame and the full coverage of adhesive on the TYC filter that causes a conflict.Please let me know if my review have been helpful to you, it will encourage me to continue writing and updating my reviews, and leave a comment if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer if I can be of help.
This cabin filter was easy to install and fit perfectly. Replacing the filter myself was much cheaper than having the dealer do it.
I had to trim one row of the glue on both ends of the filter to make room for the factory filter frame.  It is very easy and nothing to worry about.  Other then that it is a perfect fit.
I followed all the steps carefully, and these turned out pretty nice.  My only complaint is that perhaps starting with 400 grit wet sanding was a bit rough.  You basically start with 400 grit, then move to 1,000 grit, then 2,000 grit, and then a clay type rubbing compound.  When finished, this kit included the critical final step and liquid UV sealant to finish the job.  The finished lights look pretty good, but there were still some apparent deep scratches that I suspect were caused by the initial 400 grit sanding.  I think that was still a little harsh for the initial rough sanding of plastic material.
I used this on my 1999 Isuzu Rodeo. The headlights weren't super awful, but visibility was low. Well, I decided on this restoration kit versus the rest and I'm glad I did. Took me about 30 minutes, no tools needed. It's a easy process and just takes a little time and elbow grease. Word of advice, if you are like me and don't have a water faucet outside, get a spray bottle and fill it up with water. I had to fill my water bottle 4 times throughout the process. I would buy this again (and probably will for my Ford Ranger). Great buy.
The result of the restoration kit is better than expected. My headlights were nowhere near the "before" examples shown in advertisements but the improvement was nonetheless fantastic. However, the process is pretty long (1.5hrs) and not very enjoyable even though I'm a 'car guy.'
This product will not make a headlight look brand new.  It cleaned up the headlight about as well as I had expected, but they over doing it on the commercials.  I also didn't really even notice a difference in headlight brightness at night.  The turn signals are much easier to see at night though.  I have only had it applied for a couple weeks now so we will see if it lasts.The main reason I lowered the rating is because this kit should have the ability to be reused on multiple cars.  Stage 1 and stage 3 solutions are reusable(and they give you way more than you need).  The stage 2 compound, sand paper, and cloths are not reusable which will require you to buy the package all over again.  With the exception of the stage 2 compound you could easily replace the rest with the product from any store, but without being able to reseal/reuse the stage 2 compound it would make reusing the kit a hassle.  Overpriced for only being able to be used once, in my opinion.  Make stage 2 resealable and increase the volume and I would be happy.
This product worked amazing well. I put in new headlights and I wasn't really impressed with the results. I used this restoration kit and the nine years of cloudy sun damage on my headlights disappeared. My lights are ridiculously bright now. Some people even flash their lights at me while driving at night, assuming I have my brights on when I don't. I definitely recommend the Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit to anyone who has dull headlights.
Works amazingly well.  You will think that you have totally screwed up until the last couple of steps, then it will look as it did when new.Great product.
This was the first product I used on my 2000 and 2003 car. It does take at least an hour to do on the car but it comes out well. It was 6 months ago and so far they do look as if brand new.
I followed the video instructions exactly and I'm very impressed with the results. I have tried other methods in the past to restore headlights on older vehicles and this has provided the best result for me. The 30-minute claim is a bit optimistic and there is a little bit of effort needed (mostly the hand sanding can start to get tiring after a while) but I can't find too much to complain about here. I do recommend not using the written directions and following the video on Amazon or YouTube instead.
I was working on a 2000 Honda Accord in 2012, and the lenses were extremely yellowed and cloudy.  I got failed on inspection and the shop offered a $100 job to clean the lenses.  I went with this kit after reading the good review it got in Consumer Reports.It does take a long time, about an hour or maybe an hour and a half of total work.  I spread mine out over an evening and a morning to let things fully dry.  I followed the directions to the letter.  The one thing that had me worried a bit is my lenses were cloudy even after the clarifying rub, right up to the very end.  Much clearer, but still cloudly.  Then I hit them with the UV stuff and WOW! just like new.  Well, that's not really fair.  Not just like new.  I'd say 90% to 95% of just like new, but enough of an improvement that for $22 I'm well satisfied.  It's been a month and a half now and the lenses still look good.  I'm pleased.Watch the video, read all the literature, and get ready for some elbow grease.  You do have to put some work into this, but it's not terrible.  Bring a chair out into the garage so you can get comfy as you sand away.
much better that the Maguire's product we sell at work, great cord, heavy duty motor, will review later after some use.
Ordered this buffer after comparing between the PCable, Griot's, and Meg's for awhile.  Having borrowed a PCable many times prior I opted for the Griot's since I liked the handle design better than the PCable's side handle.  This one had the longer 25' cord which works perfect in my garage.  I do however find the 6" pad a bit large so I swapped the pad support out for a 5" and use 5.5" foam pads.  This works great and there is a good deal of power available.
Much better than the other cheaper weaker machines. Although it doesn't have the huge area like the 10inch ones, this one needs far few passes with little more than the effort to lean against the paint.
I used the Griot's Garage 10765LNGCRD 6-inch random orbital polisher (with the Griot's red pad) this weekend to apply liquid marine wax to my 35' motorhome.  I'm not a professional detailer, but I'm also not willing to toss $300-450 to someone else to wax my RV so I decided to give it a go.  I'm sore.. but not from applying the wax.  This tool made fast work of a nice, even wax application.  The 6" size is PERFECT even for an RV. A friend used his (cheaper) 10" orbital of a different brand and complained that it couldn't handle the curves well.  This Griot's machine nicely handled all straight and curvy parts, and honestly, the 6" size is none too small even for an RV.  The hard part, as you'd expect, was removing the wax after it dried.  There's no way around that part, and I'm sure that I'd be much more sore if I had to apply it by hand, and my coach would not look as nice as it does now.  I plan on using this product for our cars too, and expect those jobs to go much quicker!
I FINALLY used this polisher that I had purchased a while ago, waxing my truck before the cold weather sets in. It is very well balanced and with the speed selections that are available,it does a great job and you won't burn the paint. The large handle provides very good control. Another great feature is the Velcro backing which provides a quick and secure placement of the pads. If you buy additional pads or for example, a lambswool polishing pad, just be sure it has a hook and loop backing to stick to the Velcro.
I put wax on by hand for years and decided it was time to outfit the garage with a power tool for polishing and waxing. I can't believe I waited so long to buy one. I know there are cheaper ones out there and you get what you pay for. This machine is worth the money in my book. Also, note that there are also random orbital machines out there that cost a lot more but this is for my own personal use and not doing this professionally or would possibly look into a more durable machine. This machine is more than durable enough for what I am using it for and it should last a lifetime.
I have only had this item for 3-4 months but already find it more useful than my 6 inch DA polisher.  So far it has worked flawlessly, holds onto the pads firmly, and gets into the tight spots.  Griot stuff is pricey but I have typically found their products well worth the money, especially their microfiber towels (the best by far).
First this is not like a full size DA in power. Setting 1 is essentially vibrate as the pad with not spin unless making near 0 contact. Setting 2-3 are basically the same. Setting 4 you get some spinning but not really a useful amount for much other than light object finishing. 5&6 the tool becomes useful. To give you an idea I was applying wax with a microfiber pad at like 5 effectively. Even at setting 6 this tool is like level 2 on a normal DA. But this tool has some advantages in size and intensity. It fits everywhere which is great and it buffs chrome and grills very well without destroying the pad. I like how they advertise all of it's other uses as it would be very good for household things as well. This tool can definitely outdo the hand approach at higher settings but don't expect anything like a full size DA's power. I personally love it for what I use it for but am glad I own a full size DA also.
This was the first small polisher I ever owned, and it was ok for light jobs.  It doesn't have much power if you need to do paint correction, and I found that any pressure would stop the rotation.  It never broke or wore out on me, but I found I only used it for light, small jobs like motorcycles and then only if I was applying wax.  It just doesn't have enough power to handle heavier work and it bogs down or stops spinning.  I'm not talking about applying significant pressure either.  I could stop it with a couple fingers applying light pressure to the top.  For the price, it is still a player because it does serve a purpose for small detail jobs, and if you are just covering a small area.  I have added the Rupes Big Foot Mini to my polisher arsenal and it is a much more capable machine.  Admittedly, it also costs 2.5 times as much so I can hardly compare them.  The Griot's machine is your entry level hobbiest machine, and the Rupes is the professional detailing weapon.
This thing is actually a bit more powerful than I expected, based on some of the reviews. I had no problem polishing out some horrible etched-on water spots with Griot's Fine Glass Polish, and glass polishing pads. I know I could have gotten another polisher for less money, but this is a genuinely high-quality polisher, and I don't need to modify it to use hook-and-loop fasteners.
I have had this item for several weeks now and used it many times on some of my projects. They are many different types of hook-it attachments you can use this for. I have used it with high grit sandpaper to refurbish headlight lens, I have polished stainless steel with sandpaper and then the buffer to make it look like chrome. I works great on the windshield with the windshield pads to remove contaminants, and what not, that just won't wash off with normal car wash. I have used it with wax pads to get those area's you cannot reach with the larger buffing pads. It is just a great tool to fill in where others can't. It feels well made and should last for a very long time and it's compact size helps get those hard to get areas. Should be an item every detailer should have.
Does as advertised, VERY well! I even use the squeegee for things like window decals now! The cloth is not very good, I suggest a professional low-lint cloth.
This kit does the job, but the blades go dull with about one window, had to go out and purchase refill blades to finish the window tint job. The solution is easy to make your self with baby shampoo, and distilled water. You will need a lot more for one roll of Gila 36" X 15' film.The lint free cloth does the job.
I highly suggest buying this with any of there window films! You really only need one kit for several rolls of film ordered!
It is hard to apply films your self. Might be better to let the professional do it. I gave up after while
Used this kit to apply frosted privacy film to a few windows in my house.  Made the installation extremely easy.  Would buy again for similar products.
The soap works just as good as using water and baby soap. The blade looses its sharpness to fast. Probably cheaper to buy your own blade and soap ;-)
Stuff works but installing the film is a real challenge
First off the solution i dumped out because it wasn't slippy enough. all you need is to add 1/5th dish soap and fill the rest with warm water. works 10x better. next is yes the blade is not the sharpest because if it was it would cut the glass. next the cloth is used AFTER the window looks spotless. everything worked to get the job done and was a decent price. i tint cars everyday at my work and if you know what your doing this kit will get the job done.
aside the name it does smell good. i have no idea where they got the idea it smells like money or success lol. i can say they use for the base of the smell is girls vanilla perfume. in my math class and i noticed someone smelt just like my car and it was the girl next to me wearing vanilla perfume so thats exactly what it smells like.
This is a very pleasant and pleasing scent.  Itnxould be called perfume and powder and been the same scent.  The name is just funny and attention grabbing.  I will say though that it did not last as long as I had expected.  I sprayed it in my car and for about 5 days it was noticeable.  Now I only catch a wif of it from time to time.  I wish it would have lasted for a couple of weeks.  It is not over powering though when you first spray it which is very nice.
When it comes to air freshners that last, this Chemical Guys is the best stuff to use. I have tried a ton of different fragances from the trees, to the wooden pads, to the gels, i find this works the best. The scent is nice and subtle and smells great. I always use more than recommended though since I have a larger truck. I also purchased the Leather Scent and New Car scent to change it up. And even have my younger brother purchasing as well. Keep up the good work Chemical Guys.Also use other Chemical Guys products ( gallon car wash ) thats a big plus too. Nice and soapy.
This has a nice simple clean and sweet smell to it. It does not smell like old dollar bills, cigarettes and stale beer.
LMAO, it really has that sweet, seductive smell that most strippers have!!! Its amazing... It is a very nice, feminine smell that stays light. Never overpowering! Ever... Great for variety!! Customers LOVE a choice of scents. This one is a hit and among the most popular.
I really don't think anything is wrong with this product, but the scent is too vanilla for me.I'm not a fan of spraying directly on carpets, so I usually spray air fresheners on paper towels and leave in client cars, but the scent doesn't last in that condition.  I'll keep searching for my signature scent.
This is a excellent product. It is made out of a sturdy material  and fits  the spare very well.Make sure you buy the right cover for the tire size, as sometimes a used vehicle does not have the same spare  tire size that is on the vehicle itself. This cover has a good elastic around it which ensures the tight fit.
From the time i took it out of the box until install was finished i spent less than a min.the product is quality and fit my tire just perfect, took some wiggle work to get in betweenthe bumper and bottom of tire.2011 WRANGLE SPORT 225/75R17 TIRES.
I got this for my 2012 Jeep Wranger Sport - mine has 235/75 tires though and the 30 inch cover doesn't fit well.  Get a 32 inch cover if you have the bigger tires and wheels.  Overall quality of the cover is better than I expected, just not going to work out for me and returns are a pain.
This is the second tire cover I've purchased for one of my jeeps. This one was easy to install and looks good from the back of the Jeep. It doesn't fit as tightly arounf the front or as well as the last one I installed, BUT it was much easier to install, so there's a trade off there. Overall, happy with this tire cover and would purchase again.
Fit just right on my spare tire on my new Jeep Wrangler. Seems to be made well also! Good price for a well made, good fitting spare tire cover.
This vacuum works really well and it's very powerful.  Because of it's small size, it is easy to handle and the accessories should handle the vast majority of situations one will probably face.  The hose is long enough for most cars and trucks and can reach each side of the floor if you place the vacuum on the passenger's seat.This unit also functions as a blower by attaching the hose to the blower side (What a surprise!) .  The attachment is quite secure.Negatives include the doors on each end of the vacuum.  They open too easily so some care is required when moving the vacuum from place to place.  The vacuum's tools fall out too easily as well.  I solved this problem with a couple of wraps of tape (painter's tape in my case).  I had to experiment to find out how much tape was necessary but that only took a few minutes.The cord wraps very neatly around the base and there are slots to hold the end of the power cord in place.I fits very easily in my service cars as I detail my ride.I think this is a very well thought-out product and I expect to be using for quite some time.
As other reviews have said, this thing is very powerful!  It is lightweight, so it is very easy to move around the car.  The only reason I give it 4 stars is that the rubber around the attachments has started to come off after one use.  I am assuming this happened because the vacuum is too powerful and the suction wears away at it as you are vacuuming. Either way, this is still the best vac I have owned, and it is perfect for the car as it gets in all the crevices and easily pulls up crumbs and animal fur out of cloth upholstery. It would be nice if it were cordless, but that may sacrifice some of the power, so I am fine with this and and an extension cord.I am not sure why another reviewer commented that the vac caused an odor.  I have not noticed this at all.
Wow this little vac is no joke sucks up everything.really powerful suction is very strong.. i love it it's worth all the money. i purchased it usedwith this vacuum you can't go wrong.
Remarkable power for it's small size. It's a mere 560 watts, but this little bag-less sweepercan accomplish an excellent cleaning for all but the toughest jobs.The vacuum is handy for a large variety of uses ~ in house ~ garage & auto.I've used this many times and I've found it's done a great job.(125 watt = one amp, this sweeper is approx 4 1/2 amp, even though it's stamped 5 amp on side of sweeper)HOUSE ~ the console brush pulls the dust off our PC keyboard ~ lamp shades ~ grate of the furnace vent ~edge of bookcase (in-front of the books) ~ statues ~ and lots more.GARAGE ~ The blower exhaust is great for blowing off a workbench.AUTO ~ Three attachments, carpet tool ~ console brush ~ crevice brush, are designed to clean hard to reach places.> Carpet tool ~ goes under a seat with ease> Console brush ~ has bristles just over 1" which reach in vents.> Crevice brush ~ great for cleaning the 'bend' of seats.Has a nice length 12 ft cord which wraps around base for storage.MOTOR ~ has a thermal safeguard, the sweeper will shut off if it overheats, if this happens -1. Turn sweeper off2. Unplug3. Wait for it to cool4. Remove, empty & clean dirt bag. ( if needed, wash & air dry)When cool ~ reverse these steps & use.Features I wish worked easier ~1. (360 degree) Swivel elbow is quite stiff and requires turned by hand,trying to turn it by directing the hose simply flips the sweeper around.2. The hose reaches 40" then starts to pull the sweeper along also.3. The plastic edges of the base are a bit rough from molding.I sanded the edges smoother before sitting the sweeper on auto seats.4. I've learned to remove the attachments while in use, since sweeper easily tips over.Having said that ~ I still feel this is a five star product for the money.Bought at Costco, Nov 2013 after $4 coupon $29.99 + tax
This little vacuum is super handy to have.  My vehicle has a lot of nooks and crannies and when I am detailing it is handy to have this little vacuum that has a blower function to get the water out of those spots that you can't get to with a towel.  The suction is awesome for such a small unit.  My only complaints are that the attachment storage is not very good and the door to the filter can easily open if you don't use caution.  Oh... and the crevice tool has nice soft plastic around the tip that comes off pretty much the first time you use it.  All in all, it's a handy tool to have and you can easily keep it in your vehicle because of it's size.
This vacuum is small enough and light enough to move around my car with ease but powerful enough to pick up the dirt that has collected in my car this past year. It comes with three attachments to make the job easier.  My only concern is that uses a 12 foot power cord that worked fine for me but will be a problem for someone who can't park his or her car near an electrical outlet.The vacuum cleaner is light and easy to carry. It comes with a carpet tool, console brush and crevice brush in addition an attached blower grip handle.  All these brushes and tools have storage spaces on the vacuum so and are easy to attach and detach from the vacuum.The suction of the vacuum is strong and it picked up dirt that was under my car seats as well as between an arm rest/storage console that is between the two front seats in my car (I used the Crevice Brush for this). This is a good feature since I have used hand held vacuums that charged in my house and these had much less suction.All three attachments work well. The bristles on the crevice brush and console brush are soft enough so that they won't damage anything. The carpet tool is long enough to get under my car's front seats. There is an exhaust blower feature that works but I have yet to use it on anything.It is easy to change to dirt collection basket.My only concern as mentioned above is that this vacuum only works plugged into an electrical outlet and cannot be charged at an electrical outlet.  I have a garage with an electrical outlet so this is no problem for me especially with a 12 foot cord.  In addition, I have found that vacuums that can be charged at electrical outlets don't seem to have great suction and this vacuum is powerful. Still, if you can't park near an electrical outlet this will be a problem.Overall this is a small, lightweight vacuum that has a powerful motor and some good attachments.
Used it today for the first time.  I was able to get all the areas I never could get to in my cars with other vacs.  As opposed to some other reviews, I prefer to use the cord rather that some &#34;plug into the lighter vacs&#34; that drain your batteries or a battery operated one that loses power after a few minutes.  This is one is much more powerful and gets the stuff that is caught in the car carpet, under the seats, the sides, etc...............  My wife also loves it to vacuum the furniture with it.  She doesn't have to pull out the big vacs with all the hassle to do upholstery and break out into a sweat having to drag the home vac all around the house.  She just carries an extension cord that is easy to do.  All we do is take a extension cord, keep it hooked up to the 12' cord that comes with the vac and just then wrap the extension cord around the vac,  Never a hassle.  One of the best things we have bought.  Makes life easier and who doesn't want that......?
Best drying towel I've used so far.  Only gripe is that because it is a large towel it is difficult to wring out.  Other than that it works as advertised.
Maybe it;s just me, but paying this much for a drying towel seems a bit silly.  But, I did.  The towel does work fairly well, but is not all that much better than the old terrycloth towel I was using to dry my car.  The only thing that MIGHT make this towel worthwhile is that it is micro fiber and will scratch the paint less than a regular terry towel.
This is one of those products that stands alone.  I bought this item back in 2003 and I haven't come across a product that performs better.  Keep in mind that some other companies sell a similar towel and I'm sure it performs just as well.  I just stick to Griot's because they have the lifetime warranty.Before I purchased this towel, I used to use cotton towels which tend to absorb very little and instead push more water around.  They also leave behind lint no matter how many times you try to "season" the towel. Then I used a product called the "Absorber." I think it is a synthetic chamois but I just grew tired of it. This drying towel is superior to any other drying product for a few reasons.1. The waffle-weave design is perfect for absorbing water and not introducing new swirl marks.2. It has hand pockets sewn in so moving it around your paint is easy.3. It's big enough that one towel will dry a medium sized car in no time.4. It's very efficient; it cuts your drying time down considerably.My advice regarding using this towel is to make sure that you do a final rinse of your car with a flat stream of water so that most of the water sheets off.  Don't try to dry a car that has too much water already on the surface as the towel can only absorb so much.  Just remember to do that final rinse and this towel will work 10x better. Also, you might be tempted to dry off some dirty parts of your car like the windshield cowel but don't do it. Don't stain this towel.  Use this towel only on the painted surfaces and then use the Griot's door jamb towel for dirty spots.  Do your best to keep this towel clean.  I have never washed this towel since 2003 because it never got dirty and I just air dry it after every use.I liked this towel so much that I bought two.  If they ever discontinue it, I don't know what else I would use.Five stars.
I have to admit that I am a bit of a Griot's fanboy. I have been using the products for years, and my garage looks like a Griot's commercial. Somehow, I had avoided trying this towel for a long time, although I stared at it in the catalogs regularly. Like many others I probably thought it was too expensive for just a towel to dry the car with.I finally bought one, figuring "I'll give it a try". That was two or three years ago - and I've bought more since then and use them every time I wash the cars. I have two SUVs... one full sized and one medium sized. I can dry the entire full sized SUV with one towel, when using this amazing towel along with the Griot's Spray-On Wax.The fabric is soft and will not scratch your beautiful paint finish. It is also super absorbent. The waffle design of the fabric really soaks up and holds the water! But my favorite feature of these towels is the built-in (or should I say sewn-in) hand pockets. Each corner of the towel has a sewn pocket for your hands. It is amazing how much easier this makes the job.These towels will spoil you and you may never be able to use any other again!
I got two of these for my birthday a few years back.  They are the best towels I've ever owned.  Griot's includes thoughtful innovations such as the little "pockets" that your hands fit into while maneuvering the towel.  These towels have remained soft with years of usage and are as absorbent today as the day I received them.  The price is ridiculous but I am still tempted to buy them as a gift for my motorcycle enthusiast dad.Based on my time with these, I believe this is something worth splurging on.
I've several waffle weaves for drying cars after washing.  Some are ok, some are poor, this one is excellent.  The best that I've found in absorbing water and has a very soft finish to not scratch your show car finish.  Just never launder it with any of your micro-fiber cloths that you have used for spray detailers or removing waxes.  This will compromise its ability to absorb water.
This is a really nice quality MF towel, but it's too big to be useful. The size makes it easy to drag on the ground or a tire and pick up dirt that will scratch your nice clean paint. It's also a total pain to wring out, I've tried all sorts of folding combinations but nothing seems to work well for me. If this were half the size I would probably give it four stars but as it stands it's just too big and cumbersome to work with.
A little on the expensive side for something made in China.  For this price, it should be made in the USA.  Good product otherwise.
The price was an issue, but I went ahead and got it. I'm glad I did. I have never had a drying towel or chamois dry this easy. The towel just keeps absorbing. I used it on my 2013 Highlander. The roof just holds water no matter how much I try to flood it. This towel doesn't push water around like a chamois it absorbs it. I dried the whole vehicle and I could barely squeeze any water from the towel. The pockets come in handy when going down the sides of the car.
These mini fuses are sometimes had to find, especially in the variety.  I haven't used them yet but I am sure the will come in handy.  Thet come in a case with each fuse clearly marked.  I would recommend these to anyone.
This fuse assortment is a much better deal than getting fuses at the auto parts store. I will certainly reorder when I run low on fuses again.
Great value vs. buying a few at a time. I know I will use them but it may take 20-30 years. I would recommend.
THIS WAS A GREAT PRICE  ! and the product works as described. Hubby threw it it the emergency bag in his trk and has already used it several times.
Good deal on a bulk package of mini fuses.  Great to have on the shelf when you need them and the case is great to keep them organized.  I think I now have a lifetime supply of mini fuses but hey, I can worry about other things now! :)
These seem to fit the bill for what I was looking for.  Have used a few and they seem to hold without a problem
I saw several sellers offering this kit of assorted car (as well as motorcycle) fuses.Even here on amazon.com you can buy this kit from more than one seller at a time.This guy sells the kit for the fairest price. I didn't count the fuses as others did it.So I can't say whether 120 were in the box. But for this price you can't say ssth.
Don't need all that many. Not the best quality but it works. Wish they drop the quantity and up the quality and keep the same price. What can I say; I now have enough fuses to last a few lifetimes.
The assortment of fuses is very nice because they are the ones that give the most trouble. The numbers are hard to see but they are color coded so if you are a car guy you know that a blue fue is a 15 amp and so on. You can't beat the price and the super fast delivery.
To look at the photo of this kit,..... it may cause you to think it is just more "off shore junk" but be certain that it is not.  I was pleased when I received the two of these kits I placed my order for.  Even the plastic box is good material, and the fuses look as good as any you would or could buy anywhere else..... especially for the price!  I bought 2, but if I needed more I would certainly buy them again.  Enjoy!Gary
This is a nice big assortment of mini fuses at a great price. The fuses look a little cheap as far as the rating number markings on top of the fuses go, but that really does not make a difference.
I bought these here on Amazon pretty cheap and they turned out to be a great deal! I've used a couple of them with no problems. I'll buy again when the need arises.
I separated these into several small sandwich baggies so I had an assortment in each of our cars. I put a couple of each color into each baggie and threw them into the trunk with our emergency kit.
It's always not fun when you pop a fuse and you have every kind of fuse except the one that you need.  Well this is a pretty good set so that you should be all set when that fuse blows...  And it's always good to have a couple of them for when it blows again and you have to figure out why :(
The title says it all. This kit is a great value and is an incredibly good value. Worthwhile in any car kit.
For the price of what I would have paid for 8 fuses at a local Auto Parts store I got 120 fuses here on Amazon. They loose one star because the print (15, 20, 30, etc.) is very hard to read. However they are the correct color to amperage.
These are the same fuses selling at most automotiver parts stores for $5 for a pack of 5 fuses.  Worked well and no issues thus far
Never know when you, or a family member, will need a fuse. Nice to have these on hand when needed.
installed these on a 1985 BMW 325e. I had some difficulty installing them because the instructions were not clear. There is a little latch that you must open using a screwdriver or other object to pry it open. I ended up watching the installation video on Trico's website before I realized how they install. It still took me a minute or two to get the J-hook of my wiper arms to slide all the way in to the wiper blades so that I could close the latch and lock them in.They fit nicely and seem to work nicely, with no streaking, etc.The all plastic housing does not give me much confidence that they will last very long, but I guess that remains to be seen. Because of all-plastic mounting system and installation confusion, I only give these 3 stars.
Easy to install...took maybe five minutes.  Works great too.  The blades push the rain away and leave no streaks at all.
These wipers are awesome. They glide across the glass and leave no streaks whatsoever. Definitely a worthwhile purchase. I installed them on a 2006 Chevy HHR and he match was exact. Easy clip design and no gaps on contact.
We will see about durability, the jury's still out. But on my truck, 2004 Silverado, they are not able to follow the curvature of the windshield so the blade does not contact the lower right hand portion of windshield. They do look good and where they contact they are OK. When these go bad I will switch back to old style because of this fault.ONE YEAR LATER: Well it turns out these don't last any longer than the usual blade. The first meaningful rain in a year and after one day they are chattering badly. The blade, when it reverses direction does not bend, instead it keeps the angle inward, so it chatters and grabs on the return stroke leaving streaks of rubber. The rubber in this blade deteriorates in sun just like any other cheapo. Damn made in China junk.
These are great blades!  They work as good as the Bosch but look better and cost less. I put one of each on each side to compare them and was quite surprised that these lasted as long. I will keep getting these..
Not great but ok  I thought they would would be better, plastic frames won't hold up in cold weather !
I purchased a set for my car and they're exactly the same as the OEM  units at HALF the price!
I ordered these blades because they are the same design and style as the factory OEM blades on my 2011 Sonata.  So far they are working well and I'm happy with them.
I have a big compressor that is not very mobile.  This tank meets my needs for topping off our RV tires and the truck tires
This is a well above average air storage tank, nice hose and carrying handle, vey compact but effective good buy for the price along with AMAZON prime.
I purchase this for inflating tires on my ATVs and truck while out camping. I have a nice little heavy duty 12 volt tank-less air compressor and it can take awhile to fill tires. I now just fill the 5 gallon tank then top off my tires...much faster and no complaints from family like before waiting on the 12 volt compressor to pump up 35"s. No leaks as delivered at 100lbs tested. I have removed the tire inflation chuck and replaced it with standard 1/4"ntp air-tool quick release connector so I can use it with a air hose for using a blow gun and other air-tools when portability is needed. My only concern is the on-off fill valve not sure how long it will last but will replace it if ever needed.
Hey, it does what it is suppose to do. Size, weight, air gauge is all good. Would do it over again.Larry
I really like this tank.  I choose this one over other ones listed on amazon because I like how it looks and I like the handle.  I have picked up other ones that are just the flat piece of metal and it's not comfortable at all.Tank doesn't leak at all and I was so happy with this I just ordered another one for my father!Only thing I did so far was put a quick disconnect on the unit so now I can use other attachments and I am going to be adding some little rubber feet for the bottom so when I put it down I don't keep scratching stuff... very minor thing but I think it would make it that much better.Only gripe is that it's 100psi tank and all others are higher rated.  The saftey valve is rated at 125psi and just like another reviewer wrote this tank is probably too conservative as far as rating.. I fill mine to about 115psi.  Held pressure all night with zero drops.The welds are nice and the blue is a nice looking color as well.  It's also light, so anyone should be able to pick this up.  Even the little gauge that comes on the unit (unlike what is pictured) is blue..lolEDIT:  I got a second tank because I was so impressed with the first one that when the second one arrived I was truely dissappointed.  It looked used and I think it probably was... wrench marks all over the valve, leaking from the hose..etc.  I sent it back.Another thing that I am not a fan of is the large price hike it just went to..  This tank was $37... now it's almost $45.. Still a decent value I guess but I'm not keen on how the prices here sometimes go up drastically with no explanation why..-Nigel
This is a well made, clean looking tank. It weighs 13 and 1/2 pounds. The tank part measures 18" long and is 9.5" in diameter. My measurements do not include the handle and valve. Five gallons of compressed air is a very limited source, but works great for topping off car tires. Easy to store and carry. In my opinion this is a great little portable tank.
It sure took me too long to find out that I can simply get one from Amazon and program it in less than 30 sec !!!!!Thank you very much.
Works Perfect, great range. Setup was quick and easy.. (With all doors closed and unlocked, quickly cycle ignition on and off 8 times ending on the on position, the doors will lock and unlock to signal the vehicle is in program mode. Press any key on the keyfob, turn off ignition. and done..) don't get ripped off at the dealer *sometimes up to $120* just to program your keyfob.. I definitely recommend this product
Worked like a charm!
I was able to program the two remotes I got and went through the process several times. Some of the times the remotes didn't transmit. Once programmed, they take several tries right next to my truck to get them to work. They won't work from ten feet away like my factory remote does. Putting in a fresh battery didn't help.While they may work for others, they're useless for my 2009 F150. Buy at your own risk.
Great deal on a seemingly integral piece of equiptment for your vehicle. Well-made, high-quality OEM replacement. Super easy to program, often taking less than 15 seconds per vehicle (instructions included). Great price, super fast shipping. I've ordered 3 of these and have yet to have any problems...good stuff
I actually own the older yellow model.I understand the newer model has an upgraded grill and can measure the appropriate amount of car wash.That's fine and it certainly is an improvement over the model that I have but the two units still look the same and suffer from one big problem.That problem is that they are too big to be used effectively as wash buckets. They are light when they are empty but once you fill them with six gallons of water, they become quite cumbersome. Just picture a steep driveway and a runaway bucket with six gallons of water! Luckily my yellow model does not have the casters so I don't have to picture that scenario. But then again, I can't move the bucket around easily because it is heavy.I personally use a standard Rubbermaid bucket to wash my car and I use this Ultimate Car Wash Bucket to store my detailing brushes. I tried to wash my car with this bucket a few times but I just found using a standard old bucket to be more effective. In the end, car washing is not a science, you don't need grit guards and all this fancy stuff. I mean what is a grit guard going to do for you? Some debris will still make their way to the good water.As a storage bucket, it's great and it holds all my long-handled brushes and small brushes. I am happy with the product because it solves another problem for me in that it holds a lot of my detailing supplies.I'll give it three stars because it's an awkward wash bucket but a great storage bucket. Considering the price, I'm sure you could find a better alternative for either use.
I had the previous model of the Griot's Garage wash bucket, which did not have wheels.  The grit guard in the old model floated as well, so it was absolutely worthless.  While this thing is very over-priced for a plastic wash bucket, I bought one just to have the wheels.  I've long looked for a better bucket, and even considered mop buckets which have wheels.  However, they are essentially the same price, and don't have a grit guard of any type.  The grit guard on this one stays put, at the bottom of the bucket, so it actually does serve a purpose.  This would be well worth the money at $25-$35, but at the current price, you have to be pretty enthusiastic about your car wash equipment for this to be worthwhile.
This is the perfect bucket in lieu of the standard round bucket with a grit guard. After you fill it with water, it will get heavy so the casters are a welcomed addition. The included grit guard has a small car wash measuring divot so you don't have to worry about using too much or too little solution. The shelf gives you a place to put your wash mitt while not in use so you don't need to leave it floating in the water or trying to find a clean place to leave it.Although as others have said you need to be on a fairly flat surface so it won't roll away.
I've had this bucket for a few years and LOVE it.  The size is right for car washes and it has a handy grate along the bottom to keep your sponge/mitt above any grime that settles in the water.  Having wheels makes it easy to maneuver this around the car as you go from wheel to wheel, etc...  One flaw, and the reason I took a way a star, is that there is a second raised "grate" to hold your sponge above the water but the plastic on mine broke the first time I used this thing and I haven't been able to use that grate since.  I don't consider that a critical feature so it didn't bother me too much.  Also, this thing is WAY overpriced.  But good luck finding a cheaper one purpose built for car lovers.  Such is Griot's Garage.
This is a pro's wash bucket, has a grate on the bottom to trap grit & dirt, and another that hangs above for your various detailing brushes, etc so you don't have to seach if you left your brush in the massive 6 gallon cap bucket. Having it on wheels is a bonus as i like to wash in great detail.$40 bucks may seem like a lot for a wash bucket....but it's worth it.I did not buy this from amazon ....I bought it direct from Griot, they were offering free shipping and gaurantee their products, with my recent unsatisfactory customer service rec'd from Amazon over a measly $12 purchase, I decided to check out the vast number of online vendors out there.
This bucket is OUTSTANDING.  It has many designed in features.  Pour the liquid soap in the provided center cup.  Bottom grates separate out the dirt.  Top grate is useful to hold tools while washing the car.  Once done (and all the gear has been washed and dried) I can store inside the bucket.  As I said, Outstanding.
The moment I took these out of the package and felt how abrasive they were I suspected that they would scratch alloy/clear coated wheels. So, instead of first trying them on my $3K, presently installed Lexani's I tried them on one of my winter-wheel Beyerns. The wheel is clean alright, but Lo and behold, that wheel now has hundreds of micro-fine scratches all over it. The material is just way too abrasive for alloy/clear coated wheels, it literally feels like the scrub brush we use to clean the shower.Anyway, they're great for cleaning calipers so I'll use them for that.
Its great that amazon has a griot products (makes sense since both are in washington), my experience has mostly been positive with this company and these  continue that, seems sturdy and up to the dirty task of cleaning wheels.  I would give five star rating, but the only thing is that it does not get into all the nooks that i need to partly because the head is on the big side.  Other than that, works great .
My wheels have large openings between the spokes, so I guess I didn't think out my purchase properly when buying this.If you have smaller openings it may suit you, but for me it just doesn't cover enough &#34;real estate&#34; for the work I have to do when I use it.
Not much to say about these other than they work really well. For the price they are a good bargain, they'll last longer than you think but they will eventually wear out.Don't bother with the short handled version unless you are cleaning motorcycle wheels.Combine these with a quality wheel cleaner like Griot's, Meg's Gold Class, etc and you'll make short work of keeping your wheels their proper color instead of brake-dust-brown.Pros- price, effectiveness, quality.Cons- they won't clean your wheels for you.
I originally got these to clean up the wheels on my 12-year old car, which I'm trading in this month.  Looks like it cleans great!  However... My wheels are all beat up, and I can't tell what they do as far as scratching goes.Most alloy wheels have a clear coat on them, just like the painted parts of the car.  These brushes will surely scratch your wheels if you use it on nicen new wheels with the clear coat.  I tested this on one of the rear wheels where the clear coat was still pretty pristine, and using a 10x magnifying loupe before and after cleaning, this brush produced scratches.  I will NOT be using these on my new car.No one will notice the clear coat scratches on your wheels.  So take my advice with a grain of salt.  If you clean your wheels with this brush, spend about $20.00 on a good sealant, such as Klasse All-In-One, or better yet, Gtechniq 1.5 Silo Seal.  These are wipe on, wipe off liquids that will help protect your clear coats.  So scratch up the rims if you must, but at least put on some protection after.I'm becoming OCD when it comes to detailing my auto, so I'll stick to hand-scrubbing my wheels with a foam finger mitt.Recommended for people who just want to see clean stuff - this does the job! Not recommended for people who are anal about being careful with their car from top to bottom (like me) :)
These brushes work great for cleaning the tail pipe and wheel barrels on my car.  I do wish the brush was a little softer and slightly more flexible to make it easier to clean directly behind the wheel spokes, but that might effect longevity.  I have used them quite a few times and they seem like they will last longer than expected.
I took a chance on these and they are so-so.  I am worried they might &#34;blow off&#34; if the wind was strong as they just fit (15&#34; wheels) so maybe after they are on a little they might fit better.  No way to insure they will stay on so will have to weight and see. $500 plus tires need to be protected from SUN.
These are great tire covers. Then again, I'm outside Phoenix, AZ too.  These covers are loose-woven cotton canvas with a wire tension backer for quick-on/off.  They are NOT vinyl or vinyl-backed. When it rains, it is going to get the tire wet. They are good for a little wind-blocking, and UV blocking...but aren't going to help you a bit when it comes to rain or dust.I got them because out here in the desert, if you don't UV block your RV tires, you will be buying tires every single year, even if you don't put a mile on them...the sun is brutal to tires! These are like sunblock for your tires...I've used them before (then again, I've used old T-shirts, too), and they work excellent...but if you are in Louisiana, or Tennessee, or South Carolina, or anywhere else you are going to get 50-70-inches of rain each year with lots of year-round humidity...they will rot in no-time, and doubtful do anything to help preserve your tires...in that case, you need VINYL COVERS. (Here...we are lucky if we get 10-inches of rain a year...during a two-week time period...rot is NOT a problem).Bottom line:  Be aware that tires dry rot because of two things - OZONE and UV in combination.  You can't keep Ozone or Oxygen off your tires...so you break the 'dry rot cycle' by blocking the sun.  If you are in a dry hot climate and need sun protection...BUY THEM. If you are in a rainy place...take a pass, and look for vinyl (also a good sun-block, but it won't rot like canvas does when wet).
You get what you pay for, and the price on these should be 0! Crack from the sun and discolor almost immediately! Bought a new set by Adco, and the difference is night and day.  The Adco products are a bit more money, but worth every penny!
These would be fine for a trailer but they don't fit on my 16-1/2&#34; motor home tires. Good for the price but not for truck tires. They got the three 'cause they are advertised as &#34;RV Auto Truck Car Camper Trailer to 28&#34; diameter&#34;. The sizing must run small.
Nice fit on my 14 inch RV wheels and easier to install than the vinal  one piece ones that I had before just hope they protect as well and last.
Lights up the interior of my '88 Wrangler fairly well. A positive is that you can easily detatch and reattach this light if you need to. The bad...and I'm not sure what causes this, is that I sometimes have to tap on the light for it to reach a high level of brightness--which can be annoying.UPDATE: You may want to buy a better light. This works well; however, the backplate on this light does not hold the batteries securely enought. Don't get me wrong, the batteries have never fallen out of the light; however, the backplate seems to be crucial in keeping the light lit. When I press on this plate, the light becomes very bright. Since the plate bows out a little, the light has a tendency to flicker or become dim. The majority of the time, this light does what it was intended to do, but the flickering and dimness aren't very desireable.
This is good product, works well but have to consider two things. The first is that light is not very bright, at least not as bright as one would originally OEM dome light in any car. The second point is that the straps are too short to be able to fit well in the roll bar that is above the seats, is rather to sujaterse seamlessly into the rollbar of the sides of the side windows.That is why I'm taking 2 stars out from 5.
This is a really bright LED light.  I actually ordered ASIN: B00CXJR1CQ the Dc/dc Converter 12v Step Down to 3.7v 3a Power Supply Module and wired it directly into my door switch so now I don't have to replace and AAA batteries in this light, and it comes on any time the door is open.  Makes my wife feel much safer driving my 98 jeep (with no top) to have an overhead dome light come on before she gets in.It was pretty easy install and I am sure they sell something else for more money that will work, but this is easy with a few steps1) power converter wired to light socket under driver dash2) power converter output wire connected and run up through the roll bar3) wire from roll bar (yes I drilled a tiny hole to pull the wire through) attached to light positive and negative metal tabs inside battery compartment4) closed up battery cover, strapped in place, and done.the whole thing was less than $15 for a really nice, door controlled, overhead dome light
BOUGHT THIS FOR MY SXS. PUT 3 AAA BATTERIES IN IT AND HUNG IT FROM THE ROLL BAR.  JUST WHAT I WAS NEEDING FOR AN INTERIOR LIGHT WITH NO WIRING. PERFECT!!!
Light is not bright as the advertisement states but works for what I needed it for. Protective film was very sticky and took a while to remove. The battery cover is cheesy, but so far mine has stayed on. Would not purchase another.
The company deleted my review so I am reposting it!!!!!!!!! Packaging was cheap and the whole led's feel cheep and flimsy. 2 out of the 8 didnt even work( yes i know only one side is positive and i did flip them around). Very cheap product!! I would honestly only expect to pay about $5 for it.
Good lights. Not too bright but provide great white light. However, they stay on dim when the car is driving. It doesn't provide any light that illuminates anything, but you can notice it. Not the biggest deal in the world, though. I can usually forget that it is even happening.
I use these on the front fender side lights on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler, and on side maker lights on by trailer. One thing to know is these are only to be used in the location where the blub mounts is pointed out. These LED do not cast light to the side. They are very bright is work well in a high shock areas. When you put them in and if they do not work just pull them out and turn them around and they should work then. Will buy again as needed.
I used these for my license plate lights and they are nice and bright white.  they are instant on with my keyless entry along with my other leds and make finding my truck easier due to how bright they are.
Bright not not blinding.. I am using 2 of these bulbs on my 2010 Altima license plate and 2 in my wifes 2011 Rogue as the map lights. Much nicer than the stock bulbs and at the price you just cannot go wrong.
These fit all 194 bulb applications, and for clearance  issues these are great as they have almost no protrusion. Great for license plate bulbs
The product came in DOA. flipped the bulb and still did not work after trying many times.  I believe it is a contact problem. the plastic fitting was too small in order to make a proper metal to metal contact. For T10 bulbs, I would recommend JTech, where I did not have any problems with their similar LED bulbs. Having said that, dome light bulbs worked fine.
I like how they are white illuminating and not super bright.I also like the fact that the height is short so it fits into tight housings.Overall, a very pleasant experience with the purchase.  With 6 spares, I hope it lasts me a long time.
good bulbs, very blue. fast shipping
I replaced all of the lights on my Honda PC800 with led's. Since the bike was blue I really had no choice but to go with the blue led's for the dash lights. Very nice color and so far they are doing excellent. The only issue is the socket could use a little work. The wire that makes the connection is a little recessed and I had to bend it a little to make a good connection.
Bought 16 and most of them have a tendency to loose contact and cause them to go on and off when driving and of a few of them only one or two of the 4 LED's light up, so you have to remove dash and put them back in gets annoying after a while so i just put the regular bulbs back in the dash. these are great for places that easy to get to for replacing, like map lights, glove box, license plate, gauges that go in tuning pods, etc. They look good when they work, gotta give them that!
Installed in the door lights for my 2010 toyota sequioa.  I like the look.  not for seeing just decoration.  the fit is not exact and can be a tricky installation
Installed these in my 2010 Nissan Altima Sedan. These look awesome. I like them so much I purchased a set of the red led's for my whiles vehicle.
These are very bright and have no blue tint!  They are nearly as bright as some taller bulbs I paid much more for, which have the unwanted blue tint.I ordered the 9 SMD bulbs from XKGLOW and hope they are the same color as these when they finally arrive.  I previously ordered another 9 SMD brand and am disappointed that they are barely brighter, and bluer, and hope the XKGLOW 9 SMD are the same color as these, and brighter to boot.
Replaced the map lights and trunk light on my 04 Camry.  Nice bright white light.  The low power draw means I can keep my doors and trunk open a lot longer
I have got these bulbs for my Mazda 6 and replaced all interion, glovebox and door panel lights. They shine like stars and there is a huge difference compared to stock &#34;yellow&#34; bulbs.
These bulbs are far more brighter than stock bulbs and so far, they are completely compatible with nearly every bulb in my '04 Cavalier (168, 194, and 912). Polarity was not an issue when setting up, since all of them turned on upon installation. Interior, trunk and license plate areas now look much more modern, giving off a clean, white light. Only thing I have to say, is that when they turn off, they still seem to give off a dimly lit shine; I hope that they will not run down the battery in the future. For now, these are a very superb upgrade from stock bulbs; will definitely be ordering more for the other cars!
I changed all of the bulbs on my motorcycle out to leds. These little bulbs turned out to be quite a surprise. Very bright for the size and very white color. Just perfect for what I wanted to do.
These work well but mine are very BLUE, not white.  They look kinda of white in the day light but very blue at night.UPDATE:  These started to flicker after about two months of use.  JUNK.
nicely packed, stay cool, the price was super great. they didn't fit in my camper where I wanted them to, but they did fit in our cars...really nice product, if you leave your light on by accident, it won't drain the battery lol
Everyone who gets in my car compliments how these look. They really make the interior look sharp and they give off a ton of light. Also replaced the door lights with these and the lights over the license plate. They also stay cool and use less energy. If you happen to forget your cabin lights on over night, theres an excellent chance you won't come out to a dead battery the next morning.
Ok so since Ive purchased I had a couple get really hot on me and begin to smell of burning plastic and #2 which is also important is there not Very Bright. There Yes High Powered but with a cheaper SMD. What a shame, well lesson learned and superbrightleds is the way to go except there alittle pricey but the SMD are Very Bright and won't burn.
They fit and light up well. not as bright as the regular 194s but close enough. If you are trying to save amps without having to use resistors like I am, try to do it often.
Upon all the Led light bulbs i've been buying, this proves to be the most reliable. It has a very strong light penetration and lasts long. Though it breaks easily if not handled properly. Two of mine got broken while trying to insert them in their positions
these are decent but I tried the 10bulb version since I bought these and they are much brighter and more of what I was looking for.  I've had these for several months now and one or two of the individual LEDs have failed.
for the price these things are good. But these will not at all light up the sky. If you want super bright don't go with these
Bought these to replace my license plate bulbs and dome lights and they light up way better than the stock yellow ones. Definitely recommend buying these, but make sure you have enough room where you want to fit them because they are a little taller and wider than the original ones.
I bought these bulbs as I saw it had good reviews. I installed a pair on my TSX's license plate and it looks great - the white LED light makes the license plate more visible. I then installed the othe pair on my MDX's trunk and it looks great as well. One thing though - if you install them and they don't light up, just uninstall, rotate and install again. Very happy with this purchase.
cheaply made the led leads are loose in the base had to glue each one before use to keep them from vibrating and turning off
bought this for a bunch of reasons mainly my 2012 mercedez but i also use it for the center head light on my 05 cbr and in both instances they work well and are really bright
I purchase these for my Acura MDX, used the for the license plate light and the front side markers, the are pure white and the light is so bright and amazing.  I will really recommend getting them for you auto.
Of the four only one actually popped right on when I plugged them it.  After popping them in and out adjusting them they all eventually started working. Perhaps the two metal prongs on the male end were not properly aligned.  Definitely going to order four more and change out the lights in my Liberty's cab. Good buy for the price.
I put these in my 2006 f150.  They are quite bright colored, but don't necessarily give off more lumens than the factory bulbs.  If you are sensitive to "daylight" bulbs, these aren't for you.  If you aren't, cool.. buy them.  They are worth the extra bucks.  The quality is questionable because the wiring is lose but I still got them to work without a fuss.
They work well but FYI they do flicker a little when I unlock my doors by remote. My truck has that slow light up feature. When I turn on the the lights with the switch they work perfect. I'm not sure if the slow light up will affect longevity. I will post if one burnsnout but so far so good.11/5/2012 still working no burnouts or Color changes. 3/5/2013 still working.
it is bright and it is small to fit many different light holders. i like it a lot. it lasted for 3 months so far
LED worked for a while, but eventually died. I had the product for about a year. Did notice there was a variation in color between the bulbs. Some looked 5000k and others looked 6000k
I switched out my tachometer and speedometer lights using this LED's. It was fairly simple on my 2000 Camry and this product gave it the finishing touch!
I've had a lot of luck with LED auto bulbs off Amazon, these were the exception. I put these in my Ford Ranger and only 1 out of the 4 worked. Had to return for a refund.
I use these in my Nissan Altima for the license plate lighting. I've used these on the last several vehicles, and I used to spend *so* much more than they cost now.I rated them 4 stars instead of 5 because the contacts are a tad bit touchy and sometimes the prongs have to be bent out to reach the socket properly. Once done, it works and works reliably.
This fits perfectly fine on my Lancer 2008. Looks Awesome. I used these bulbs for my licence plates and city light.
They fit nicely into the sockets of the tag light of my '97 FORD Expedition. I gladly recommend this article.
Very poorly made,I'm going to give them 2 days before i request a refund.  We'll wait and see if they last.  They were installed in my license plate and barely got them to work.  Had to play around with the socket for them to fit.  I'm100% sure if I hit a bump they'll come loose and turn off.
I found these lights to be not quite as bright as regular 194s whereas there are plenty of 194 LED replacement lights that ARE just as bright.  Also, I bought 12 of these (3 packs of 4) and three of them did not work.  25% DoA rate is a little too high for my liking.  No, I did not contact the company to get my few dollars back...
A HUGE difference between stock and these. Uses less power, produces more light, and fite the stock socket perfectly. What more could you ask for? I'm currently in the process of replacing ALL my bulbs with these. Looks great and functions amazingly! Buy them, you won't regret it.
It works well as a light for the license plate.  As other people have mentioned, you may need to reverse how you plug it in if it doesn't light up the first time.  Polarity matters for LED lights!
I surveyed all market sewer hoses and the RHINO Extreme rated first overall in performance and cost. A valuable asset to all Rv'ers.
I upgraded my sewer hose with this item and I am extreamly satisfied with it. I also ordered the 5' extension to give me a total of  20' of sewer hose. Very tuff and durable hose.
I needed a replacement and this was advertised as heavy duty; not sure it is the best you can buy but it works for intended purpose.
It seems everything I have read/reviewed has to do with the durability of the outside surfaces coming in contact with abrasive surfaces.  The other thing I have encountered in use, is the angle or grade is important to just how well camper holding tanks can be emptied.  We are using this in conjunction with sewer hose support brackets to control the amount of any dips that would try to occur over the length of the run to the  sewer connection or even the Thetford 40515 Smart-Tote when placed on a slope to help with draining the trailer tanks.Important to Note:  The tank holds 27 gallons, but be sure to take into consideration any fluids in the hose system when connecting and disconnecting to the main valve of the trailer.  I also made an anti-abrasive ground sleeve (we encounter a lot of gravel and asphalt) for the unit, with multiple handles that help us better handle the length of the hose, while spreading it out over the ground support brackets, and does not interfere with the brackets making solid contact with the hose.
The first time I used it it had small leak but thankfully I used water hose to test out first time. Reason the fitting was not tight and secure. I consider this my fault since it warned to check this. I then tightened it and no leaks. We went camping last month and it worked great.
Light weight, comes in its own bag, easy to store. Can be made into a ramp for leveling or shimming.
Now I don't have to take 2x6 boards to level the rv.  I saw other rv people have these building blocks, easy to keep in the sack provided, build up either side of the rv to keep it level.  Stack, interlock, easy to clean, bought 2 sets,can't ask for more.Good Luck, happy camping.
I've used these twice so far and am very pleased with how they work so far.. I'm currently using 2 blocks, 1 under each tire at a somewhat level camp site... A few weeks ago I used 6, setting up 3 under each tire in pyramid style in a parking lot and they worked out great... much more organized and lighter than my collection of planks...
I have a 6,400 lbs travel trailer. these things do just fine. 10pack was all i needed even for some pretty uneven ground. must better than trying to use stabilizers to push up one side. worthwhile purchase.
I use these under my wheels, and leveling jacks. Even though they are plastic they appear to be holding up well.
So I really can not give it a 5 star due to that, otherwise looks like it would be a 5 star.
These are small - almost too small for a 16 foot travel trailer with a single axle.  Used these several times during a 2 week camping trip all over the eastern and southern US.  Then on one fall trip at a local campground, one of them split while trying to level out on some soft (wet) lawn.  Over priced and cheap plastic.
Easy to assemble and can be stacked up like legos. Seem to support the trailer weight well. Easy to pull onto with out slipping.
Compact enough for my TT and easily stores for transport..... Reliable and strong when I need it, not recommended for Big Units, you'd be silly to use one of these on a large RIG...... Easy clean up and easy to use . . .
My husband and I have used these several times now and they work flawlessly. We have a 36ft 5th wheel. older heavier model and theres no problem with the wieght. Excellent product
Compact and nice to use.
If your RV weighs over 250 pounds, these will warp and give way under the weight.  I have a lighter fifth wheel and these don't do anything but buckle under the weight of the trailer and sink right into whatever ground they are on.  Even on cement pads, they stink.  I went back to using pre-cut hardwood planks and boards and am glad I did.  Don't waste your money on these pieces of junk.  Even the storage bag they come in is cheap, flimsy, and tore after one use.
Very good ..........
These blocks work great. It is so much easier than using wood blocks. Plus they do not rot or rust. Their versatile for just about anything. I would recommend these to anyone. Must get!!!!!
These blocks are okay but, they don't have any ridges to grip my tires, they are slick on top and might cause tires or jack to slide upon contact.
I knew I needed something better to level our RV and to put under the stabilizers, but was unsure what to get.  Up to this point, I'd simply thrown some extra bricks and some 2x6's in the storage bin to serve as a level and stabilizer blocks.  Now my family is planning on going fulltime in our RV for an extended time (up to a year, possibly).  I didn't want to have all of that extra weight and space being used by bricks and 2x6s, so I search for another alternative.  I was concerned about using something that was just &#34;plastic&#34; that might break or that had openings that will fill with dirt and rocks.  I bought these because of the brand, reviews and the design and I'm very happy with them so far.  They interlock like &#34;legos&#34; so that's what my kids actually call them!  There are 10 in the package and I bought 2 sets to serve as the block under all of the stabilizers, the tongue and also levelers for the tires.  I haven't used them to level the tires yet, but I have had them under the stabilizers and the tongue jack and they have performed perfectly.  They are lightweight, functional and store neatly in the bag.  The bag is a bit flimsy and I am not sure how long it will last, however, I'll just replace it with a cheap duffel bag if necessary.
Recently acquired Class B RV. These light weight leveling blocks at 7 pounds replaced 20-25 pounds of wood blocks [made for a good campfire]. Carry case keeps them together. Like piecing together Legos. Well constructed plastic. Easy setup and takedown. Time will tell how they hold up. Note: Doesn't hurt to use a good stabilizing jack.
Cheap price, but perfect to do the job.Not bulky, easy to clean, and very compact for storing with a handy, and durable storage bag.Shipping was excellent, just a couple of days with normal shipping. Very satisfied.
would work better if the hubby would read the how to use portion.. lol they work to get our 40+ foot cyclone level which will save your refrigerator, so recommend to any new or experienced camper.
I like the ease of stowage for them in the bag.  I have yet to use them though in my camping because my travel trailer has not needed them for leveling purposes.  I have them stowed, whenever the need arises.
I back my trailer in on a slight grade. And these leveling blocks are working great under the leveling jacks.
These blocks are very useful to put under the stabilizer jacks on our travel trailer.  They can be stacked together if more height is needed.  I usually stack 2 or 3 together and they work fine on a hard surface.  They are light weight yet strong and come with a zippered carrying case.
They work well, Infinitely configurable and are a lot stronger than they appear. If you have to go more than two high, make them into a ramp...  For those of you who put 10,00Lbs plus on a single block, then Yes, they will warp/break.  I have found that using at least 2 ea on each jack point eliminates warping or breaking.  When using singles (for leveling) they will warp but after a bit without load they return to their original shape.  The wife and I call them "adult legos", even use them to elevate the griddle so we dont damage the formica while cooking......
NOT.  Great way to level your RV/Camper.  Quick and flexible way to add/stack blocks to get the right height for your single or dual axle camper.  They're good on asphalt (yes, even the asphalt campground spot has grooves), dirt and grass parking spots.  The pack up compact and are easy to store in the provided bag.
have not had a chance to use these yet, but the seem heavy duty and the interlocking systems works well
I think these blocks are more convenient than wood blocks and weigh a fraction of their wood equivalents. Depending on how out of level your site is you may need 2 sets.
I already had a set of these and they work great. If you only camp in well groomed camp grounds then 1 set will work most of the time. However if you camp in less groomed sites then you will need at least 2, maybe even 3 sets to get level. Storage bag keeps everthing nice and tiddy.
I was expecting to see more support on the bottom. Not surprisingly, because of the large bumps on the top, there's not much room on the bottom to spread out support. These worked great on hard surfaces, but I'm a little concerned about how well they'll stabilize on dirt.
Never had them in our previous RV's, just brought pieces of wood.  These are MUCH safer, easy to carry in the attached carrying case, and lock together like lego's to level your RV almost effortlessly.Great product, a little pricey, but I'll never camp again without them...
Great Leveling tool for RV/trailer camper.  I like the fact that is plenty to use on the stabilizers.  real strong.
Works as designed.  Wish I would have gotten two packs.  Not much else to say.  The carrying case is sufficient.
Nice quality leveling blocks and perfect for my 5th wheel.  Had no problem handling the weight and did not break or crack anywhere.  Did the job just fine.
Like that it came in a bag and convenient.Appears to be good product .We have used this product before and were happy.
Unlike some other leveling blocks, these seem to last and don't break up or crack. (at least in the first year of use)
The case these come in is solid and great.  Constructed of durable material for the blocks - would recommend for purchase!
These plastic blocks are interlocking like 'Lego's' so make it easy to level the trailer.  The included carrying case helps keep them in one place for travel.  I would recommend that you get more than 1 set, you will need them if your site is very uneven.
Just like OEM and alot cheaper then what the dealer quoted. Bought 2, one for back up just in case the other goes out. Highly recommend.
It is really easy to install.  This is my first time changing the car's light bulb and it took less than a minute.  This bulb fits 2002 Volvo XC70 headlight.
I stopped in at my local auto parts store, they wanted close to $10 each for a simple headlight. I checked Amazon and found a better brand at about half the price. I should have known better and just checked Amazon before driving down to the store! This headlight fits perfect in my Toyota 4Runner. Nothing special about the headlight, but it works great. Takes only a couple minutes to switch it out. If you have just 1 light out, I suggest changing both at the same time while you're at it, so you won't be dealing with another blown headlight for a while.
Perfect replacement for fog light bulb. Easy install. Note that the Philips 9006 bulb is not a replacement for the fog light.
They were not as bright as the ones I had replaced. (One side went out) but they do the job.I would recommend getting electric grease for the connection, insures a good connection, and makes it easy to replace down the road. Do not touch the glass part of the light or you will be going through these light crazy. Wear gloves if you're forgetful.Hope this review helps!
Well what you see is what you get. This is a good bulb, it arrived as described. It was delivered in a timely fashion, I am very happy with this purchase.
After spending $15 on this at Autozone, I figured I would try Amazon to see if I could find another cheaper! Of course, a week later my second bulb went out, and it was time for a replacement. The light is bright, not too yellow, and so far the bulb hasn't shorted out...These can be found cheaper, but with free 2-day shipping I can't complain!
Made my 1995 accord headlights up to date.  Replaced 9006 with this and it much brighter as well as whiter.  My old disappointment is There is no such upgrade for 9007.  But thanks so much for making this bulb.
Installed on a Corolla and can easily say this is the best most noticeable and useable auto upgrade I've done on the car.  The difference in lighting is like night and day.  There's no voodoo science behind this either - these emit 800 lumens more per light than stock.  That's over 1600 lumens total.  How does that work in the real world?  Take a typical LED (not old bulb) flashlight and these emit just under 100 lumens.  So it's like having 16 LED flashlights pointed out on the road over what you originally had.  Best of all, the light from ahead differs little from stock lights so nobody gets blinded (unlike HID bulbs in regular headlights).Yes, these require modifications to install into the stock 9006 port.  The modifications require a toenail clipper, common sense, and that's it.  Just take the old light out and match up the tabs then trim down appropriately.  It takes about 45 seconds to do right per bulb.  That's right, 45 seconds.As I stated, the difference is immense.  No reason to not get these since they don't cost that much more than regular bulbs either.  No flashy packaging here with ridiculous marketing slogans you see on other nonsense bulbs sold out there so many do not know about these.  Buy these and educate others too.
needed a headlight bulb for a 2002 kia rio cinco . this was about $9 at the &#34;zone&#34; .... got it here on amazon for less than $6 .  this bulb took 15 minutes to install as I had to remove the windshield washer reservoir to get access to the headlight housing........bulb works ,as bright as oem.......nuff said
These bulbs are very bright and are a big improvement over the standard H11 bulbs I replaced them with. Slight modification to bulb necessary to fit harness but real easy with Dremel tool!
These are nice and bright, and take only about 5 minutes to install. Perfect fit for my 2004 Toyota Solara.
Bought it for a spare bulb so when the other one burns out I have one.They work like factory part and would recommend to every one.
You will need an adapter harness to use the bulbs on the new Accord. These lights have a second vertical guide bar in their base which blocks them from plugging into the factory low beam H11 harness.Impossible to file or cut off without damaging the two contact blades in the bulbs, and beyond brain surgery to attempt to cut the second slot into the factory plug,  you will need an H11 to H9 conversion harness. At least two vendors on Amazon sell these conversion pigtails.
Headlight bulbs can be expensive from $5 to $50 so when saw these bulbs on Amazon I grab them. For $11 this is a great deal and they come in the blister pack as shown.
PERFECT upgrade from my stock WRX H11 bulb.  I simply used a small drill bit to remove the small tab to allow proper fit for my modification. ( instructions and much more info on the net ). Do go easy with the drill bit as I did destroy one bulb... if the tip grabs when drilling it will go in and all the way through!  Just use the sides to round off that tab, go slow and you will be good to go.All I can say is WoW... I can see now! The quality and build of these bulbs are superb, Made in Germany ( you know the Germans make good stuff).  IMO the BEST Bulb on the market! Don't fall for the blue tint is better as the blue tint is a color filter as WILL cut your light output! The silver labeled bulbs say they give you brighter light but they overdrive the bulb with end results a very, very, very short life. Those cheep HID kits that are not made for a stock reflector / lens and  is simply going to make your fellow oncoming car drivers mad. if you simply want brighter light that will help you be safe on the road this will work great for you!Quality, Clear Quartz, German made, INCREDIBLE Low price,and  long life...these bulb and simple mod is the way to go if you want to see what is in front of your WRX!I did use an inexpensive ceramic wiring harness extender available on Amazon2 x H11 Ceramic Male Female Type Wiring Fog Light Foglight Socket for Carto help protect my factory wires from the possibility of any additional heat from upgrading to the larger wattage bulb. This was a very easy modification and only takes about 15 min to make driving at night much less stressful! Highly Recommended inexpensive upgrade as those H11 bulbs are for the birds!
Works just like the original did, no issues just remember not to touch the glass with  with your hands, ok.
At 10 years, my right headlight went out but if I knocked on the bulb assembly, it would light up.  I would have to knock on it from time to time but 3 years later, it was still working, but I bought this bulb anyway just in case.  4 months ago, knocking didn't work and I replaced the original Toyota bulb.  It was easy to replace, just twist off, twist back in and don't touch the glass of the bulb, just the rubberized plastic mount.  No tools needed! Compared to the original one still working, it is as bright, and I can see no difference.  I tried replacing the other original bulb so they'd be replaced in pairs and be in sync, but I found that when the bulb works, the bulb assembly gets very hot, and its impossible to twist the bulb off until it cools down.  So, since its easier to remove once the bulb blows or I let the car park overnight, I just carry another bulb in my glove compartment to prepare for the day it eventually really does blow.
I got this to replace one on my 2005 Chevrolet Impala. It's the same fit and color/brightness as what was in the car before. It's been installed for two months and no signs of dimming, blinking, or not working.
These bulbs really improved the light output on our Mustang. The car has aftermarket headlamp assemblies and the bulbs it came with were terrible.These appear to be made very well and really lit up the road so it feels safe to drive again at night!
So here's the scenario. I was driving my car at night and noticed that I couldn't see that well. At some point I actually got OUT of my car to check to see what was the matter and determined that my headlight was out!!!! OMGWTHBBW what am I going to do?Well I did some online searching and came across the Philips 9006 Standard Halogen Headlight Bulb (Low-Beam), Pack of 1 available on Amazon with free (Prime) 2 day shipping.It seems you don't need a mechanic to change these light bulbs. I received the blub and actually replaced it myself. I can only attribute this to the quality design of the Philips 9006 Standard Halogen Headlight Bulb (Low-Beam), Pack of 1. I have no idea if you can just willy nilly change bulbs made from a different manufacture so take that with a grain of salt.So since I know for a absolute fact these will work in my vehicle and I can change them myself, Heaven forbid if I'm ever faced with a headlight deficiency crisis again I will purchase the same Philips 9006 Standard Halogen Headlight Bulb (Low-Beam), Pack of 1 and pray that I don't have to drive in the dark with only one headlight.. like Jacob Dylan did in that song. Such a sad sad song...
These are standard bulbs. They work. They're cheap. Not much else to it. These give more light and clearer light (less glare) than the &#34;blue&#34; expensive bulbs that you see. Buy these instead.
Phillips, Thank you for removing g the needless greedy markup for a car headlight bulb, and providing us with a comparable to factory replacement at a bargain basement price!!!
OE for BMW fog lamps. No complaints. Inexpensive, name brand quality, easy to replace, bright, not much else to say
These worked great as OE replacement bulbs in my Honda... the low beam on the passenger side had gone out, and when I came across these, I just decided to replace both bulbs since they were so inexpensive. They work great, Can't beat the price!
Cheap and light quality was similar to oem, at this price I can have a couple spares on hand. Will buy more as needed
Reasonable price.  Works like just the OEM.  Don't see any difference with the light output.You will have to press the middle lever of the white receptacle to release the hook, then pull it down.  After the wire has disengaged, rotate the base of the bulb and pull it out from the socket.  Reverse the process and your are done.  Very easy except my old wire socket was stiff that I needed to wiggle it a little bit to pull out.
These are perfect replacement bulbs.  You can't go wrong. And for the price you should get two... I understand it's recommeneded anyway.
this is the standard OEM 9006 bulb... it's a warm white, very warm... maybe like 2700k-3000k.... these, while not having a white hot look, last a very long time in comparison to other 9006 bulbs I've used.... even other Philips brand bulbs don't last as long as this one....it's cheap and gives you a OEM like lifespan instead of having to change aftermarket 9006's every year when they burn out....I'm fine with the OEM look and not having the hassle .... so two thumbs up for this product
I wouldn't go so far as to say these are twice as bright as factory 9006 bulbs, but these are definitely brighter than they were before.  You do have some slight modifications necessary for the 9012 to fit in the 9006 housing, but it took less than 2 minutes to modify each bulb and they both fit the first time.
It does what a headlight is supposed to do and for the price you cant go wrong.  Cant comment yet on life.
Nice and bright like a high beam should be. I'm glad I found a pack of one because I broke one when taking apart light assembly
I was really hoping that these would put out some good light, but I found them to provide less light than the originals.
I used these in my 2013 Impreza for the HIR mod.  I cut along the line with nail clippers and the popped right in.  They are much brighter than the stock bulbs, just remember to disable your DTRL if you want to prolong the life of these.
These are great bulbs for the price. I've been told the more expensive ones just have a coating of blue on them to make them seem whiter, but actually put out less light because of that.I'm using these modified in my cars H11 socket since they are brighter than H11 bulbs. I'm quite happy with the amount of light output and the price is quite good.
Perfect fit, why spend more money buying their so called super bright halogen bulbs that burn out fast and don't always have a brighter light.
Used to replace the original H7 low beam headlight in my Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.  It is very easy to install, and the beam is properly focused.  Cannot comment on life expectancy as it has just been installed.
Its good to buy a few of these for your car and keep in your glove box, never know when you will need a bulb, and a local parts store will sell them at 2 to 3 times the price of these.  Only thing is, the price of these bulbs fluctuate a lot on amazon, so add to your wish list and check back often how much the price has changed.  Otherwise good bulb!
Although i didn't buy my first set from Amazon. These bulbs are brighter than the stock bulbs that came with my 2002 Acura RSX. They lasted about 35,000 miles before one burned out. I believe this is more than your Osram/Sylvania average.  The bulbs are tinted blue which gives the headlamp similar to the color of HIDs but definitely not the same output/volume of light.  You simply can't get the same amount of output without converting from a halogen system to HIDs.  I recommend you try these if you want better light output then what originally (OEM) came with the vehicle.Note:  This is not 35,000 miles of night time driving.  Just racked up 35,000 miles after installation.Update 11/28/12My second set from Amazon, I had one bulb burn out after 15,000 miles. Installed in March of 2011 and died in November of 2012. Guess there are consistency issues here.
These are nice bright/white headlight bulbs and I would get them again but I switched to HID's which are way brighter and whiter.
You pay a little more but I think you see much better then the cheaper bulbs. I suggest keeping extra package around as they do not last as long as the cheaper bulbs.
I have these on my tundra and my wife's civic. They are great, we used to have more expensive lights we bought at autozone or someplace but they would last for 6 months and burn out. My wife has driven with both high and low beams in this model for over a year and no problems yet. I always use rubber gloves when installing lights to keep from forming hot-spots. These are a great price ($27).
Installing these after using the stock bulbs, there was a clear difference in brightness at night. good price too, compared to the auto store.
I installed this on my car, it definitely looks whiter and clearer than stock. For the sale price on Amazon, its worth the money versus other brands. I recommend this to folks who want a nicer look for their light and dont want to blind on comming traffic. I would buy this again.UPDATE 1/30/12: After 8 months of use, no troubles, the light is still white and still running strong. I just saw there's an extra $5 rebate for these, so what better time to get an extra set!For the people that have failed bulbs, maybe they touched the glass with their bare hands. I used latex gloves when installing the bulbs to prevent any contact with oils and have not had any problems.UPDATE 5/11/13: One of the light is dead, the other still working just fine. Only added about 22k on the car, it seems to be short lived, I will have to knock this down to 4 stars. I will buy again, hopefully the next one will last longer.
Contrary to many people's experiences and reviews, these are in fact not a pure white, but rather just a cute looking halogen bulb that projects a less yellow hue of light. Other than that, it is whatever...
Bulbs are fairly bright - though not significantly brighter than OEM. I thought they would be more whitish in color - but they are in reality very much like the OEM bulbs - much more yellow than white. Not a deal breaker - as they do work and do light the way.
I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars getting an LED light kit for my car, but these bulbs are the next best thing. I have every other type of bulb for the last couple years, with no luck. These bulbs are VERY bright and come VERY close to being LEDs. I will be getting these brand of bulbs from now on.
So I bought these for my dads 03 mercedes S430, one early morning he gave me a ride and I noticed how dull and weak his headlights were! I said for a mercedes this is pretty bad! He doesn't have the xenon or HID headlights, just the old fashioned yellowish bulbs. I replaced them myself, I tested them out on a wall at his work, not as blue as I had hoped, but definitely a cleaner light and a wider angle!! I can't tell you how they looked at night, but he texted me that night after he went out for dinner and said thank you their great!!! So I guess they are a success!  For sure it's a cleaner , brighter light and throws off a wider angle on the street, sounds worth it to me.....
I needed to replace the headlights on my 2003 Subaru Outback, and decided to give these bulbs a try seeing as they claimed to be white(r) than stock. Read ahead for a (in my mind) fair review.PROS- Coming from my car's stock, these are bright and very white- Relatively durable- DOT Compliant- Not blueCONS- Don't last long enough for money spentCOLORPersonally, I dislike the blue tinted HID headlights. When in the car, I find them very distracting and I just don't like the color tint. These CrystalVisions do not have a blue tint, and while they are definitely not HID, they aren't yellow either! When reading reviews where people say that they aren't different from their stock headlights, it is important to note that they might be comparing it to the stock bulbs, and some manufacturers have whiter stock bulbs than others. I know that my 2003 Subaru Outback had yellowish bulbs, and in comparison these are much whiter. It all depends on what came stock with your car!DURABILITYThis is my one complaint. These didn't last very long...maybe a few months at the most. I installed them properly, using new mechanic gloves to avoid getting oils on the bulb. Several months later, you guessed it, I was opening up the hood again to replace the first. I decided to go with a more expensive but reportedly longer lasting bulb, and so far no problems. If these had lasted 6 months, I probably would buy them again at the current price of just over $20...but at this point I am sticking with the other brand I found!OVERALLYou might get lucky, I have read reviews of these lasting upwards of 9-10 months, but I wonder how often these people drive at night. I'm not recommending these if you don't want to spend $120 on headlights a year!
Yes the light is white, if not whiter than the OEM bulbs. You can't tell if the light is white or yellow unless you spend more than 1 second starring at it. Considering the fact that you have to spend at least $100 to switch to Xenon bulb assembly, I say these bulbs are worth the money.
Very good replacement lamp for the Honda Pilot which takes 2 sets of these. Easy DIY, just google for it and you will find easy to follow instructional videos. Great product from Philips.
I do not own these, and never will for good reason.Any bulb with a blue tint to it will have significantly lower light output. It's best just to use regular, clear ones rather than these with a blue tint to the glass.
Ok, one of my headlight bulb gave up after about 6 years of use (from brand new car).I got this set hoping to get a more Xenon like light.It took me a little bit of fiddling to install it but it was due to my own clumsiness.Once the one replaced (I left the other one installed), I do not see much difference in color or power. One thing I am not sure about is if there was a way to install it that would prevent me from putting it wrongly. It seems ok but there is a kind of rainbow effect (on the upper edge of the beam) resulting from it.I did not get anyone flashing me as if my lights were bothering anyone so I guess that should be alright but I cannot help wondering if I did it right.
The bulb colour is approximately the advertised 4000K. It's certainly not that bright HID white; you'll want to go to the Diamondvision 5000K bulbs for that. Still, if you want a nice, natural 4000K bulb, this is a good buy. The price is right, and they haven't failed in the 2 months I've had them. Hardly an indication of how long it'll last, but it ought to be better than the Sylvania's. I feel like the throw has increased when I drive at night, and can now clearly see where the left beam is shorter than the right beam (as it should be). For anybody wondering, the bulbs have a slight blue tint to them.
I replaced the original lights on my 2010 toyota sequioa.  I like the look, bright white light, no glare, no blue tint,  good visibility to the sides, illuminates the road better than the oem bulbs
Great Match for my Morimoto Retro-kit!!!  These lights came in advertising 4100K.  My retro-kit is 4300K, they match VERY well.  Nice bulb at a great price.
And this is based on experience.I plugged a pair of Sylvania SilverStar Ultra headlights into my previous car, a 1996 Subaru Legacy.  Displeased with the results, I restored the headlight lenses with the 3M kit.  The lenses were crystal clear to the naked eye and the light thrown by the SilverStars appeared pure white from the driver's seat but head-on the headlights still revealed a trace of yellow.  In addition to oxidation, plastic headlight lenses yellow over time on the inside.  The only 100% solution: replace the lenses.That said, when I replaced the stock low-beams on my 2013 Subaru Impreza hatchback, the CrystalVision Ultra H11s delivered 99.99999% of the marketing claims.  The light output is pure white from both the driver's seat and to oncoming traffic but without the harsh glare of misaligned or aftermarket HIDs.  At certain angles, one can see a trace of the blue tips in the reflector but it's not the cheesy blue of non-steet-legal bulbs.  Longevity is unknown at this time, but I donated the Legacy to charity with the SilverStars installed after at least three years of nighttime-only operation (the Impreza uses the 9005 high-beams as daytime running lights).  We can only hope the CrystalVisions perform as well.
This is the second pair I have purchased for my Jetta and these are by far the best bulbs I have used when compared to the other three I previously ran: Anzo, X-treme Bright and Silverstars. There is a white output which brightens the road at night, even highlighting pot holes on my daily route that the other bulbs did not show.  Definitely worth the $$$.
I bought the Crystal Vision's to compare to the Silverstar Ultra's I had in my 2010 Fusion. The Silverstars are rated at 4100K, and the Crystal's at 4000K. But what was strange, was the Crystal's were actually white with some blue to it, the Silverstars are still yellow. I think it's a marketing scam with Sylvania. Philips seems to hold true to what they put out. Philips all the way! Very pleased!
Needed to replace a low beam headlamp on my Z4. This did the trick just fine. Seems to match the original and fairly easy to install.
HUGE improvement over my stock bulbs and only cost $20.  These are a really cheap and easy upgrade and are about as bright as you can get without going HID.
I like these lights they are DOT compliant. Blue is illegal in My state. These really light up the night. I think they are whiter than Sylvania Silver Star. I have Silver Star on my Fog LIghts and they are rated at 4000 K and so are these H11 lights. The Philips are wihiter and do not match perfectly but close enough. There is no blue in the light. So dont think you are getting HID lights. HID runs at 6000K not 4000K. GO to your local hardware store that has LED home lights displayed and see what 4000K looks like its white.
In my book, only HID's look like HID's, so buying these to make your headlights look more expensive is probably an exercise in futility.However... if you like bright, pure white light, the H11 CrystalVision bulbs absolutely demolish SilverStar Ultras, Nighthawk Sport, and Nighthawk Platinum -- and until today, I've been a very big Nighthawk fan.The color difference between OEM bulbs less than a year old and the CrystalVision bulbs was absolutely obvious on a newer Subaru Forester. I was expecting a bit more blue, but these are dead-on white. The difference in driving was spectacular, too, as peripheral details really became more pronounced with these bulbs. And, while they're really bright, I didn't have any problems with oncoming traffic blinking at me.For the price, you really can't go wrong giving these a shot -- especially if you're due for replacement anyway.
I recently ordered this for an '07 Mazda3 s Sport.I was always frustrated by the poor light performance of the stock low beam bulbs with its short lighting distance, lackluster brightness, and off white/yellow color.  I had to get something different and after some research, I ended up getting these bulbs and boy, what a difference!The lights are more towards the whiter end with an VERY slight tinge of yellow and blue if you look at it from certain angles, but that's only if you look REALLY carefully.  The light output is considerably higher which is a HUGE plus and the lighting distance is about twice the distance of the OEM lightbulbs.Good range + good light output + 4000k color temp = Safer.  You'll be able to see obstacles in the distance & one wouldn't need to turn on high beams as often on dark roads.I'd very much would rather spend the money on mid-$20 headlight bulbs and prevent accidents from happening rather than paying $1000+ for damage repair.  Wouldn't you? ;)
First of all, there is a slight difference in light output, whiter than normal. But to get that whiter look your gonna have to go to the 5000K diamond vision range which turn out to be illegal here in Australia (best to check on your local laws) the beam output length is the same as OEM, and this becomes shorter as you go whiter in light. These lights are pretty much for looks, although whiter light has more clarity, you sacrifice beam length for whiter light intensity. HID however are the opposite.It is true what people have said about the life of these bulbs. THEY HAVE NONE! Think of your normal OEM bulb, then reduce the life of that bulb by 75%, that is pretty much all you can expect out of these. Don't be surprised if they blow after going over bumps in the road. I've been experimenting with a few bulbs out there, Although Phillips do make very good long life bulbs in the 3300k light offering 120% longer beam, these whiter bulbs (4000k - 6000K) just don't last and will end up costing you a fortune in replacements.Osram Bulbs are much more durable from what I have found. still on my first set of OSRAM Nightbreaker Unlimited, Have lasted me 8 months and they do have a 20% whiter light rating.Lets get serious. If you really crave that white light for your car, research HID xenon kits. I know the white light is cool, but be sensible and kind to your back pocket unless you have cash to burn.
3 of my motorcycles use H7 bulbs for the regular (low beam) headlight.  I replaced all three with the Philips H7 CrystalVision bulb and the results were impressive.  The light output seems to be noticeably  higher, but the most impressive part is the light is bright white - not yellow.  You can see my videos on Youtube under RedonKiLaus.
It is somewhat brighter (less yellow) than the stock.  My 2013 Elantra GT has projector headlight and compared to the stock i see a bit of improvement.  Its more white than blue, but def not close to the HID lights.My only concern is the longevity, and i'll keep you posted.
Just installed these and it was a breeze. I put one in and compared with stock and it was noticeably whiter and maybe even a tad brighter (then again that could be due to the whiter color).These are a good in-between from OEM halogen and those third-party HIDs. The third-party HIDs are no good as they blind oncoming traffic. So for the price, these are worth it to me.Now we'll see how long these last, but the first install and test looks good.
The color do not look whiter, no difference at all from my stock 4000k halogen bulbs.Do not expect this to shine whiter beams, but it is slightly brighter than my stock Osram bulbs though.
Great quality but the lights are too yellow. Switch to HID so these are now being used as fog lights.
I prefer Philips brand when you are getting new headlight bulb if you want them more brighter, Silver Star burns out to fast compare to a Philip Brand.
I was extremely careful with installing these bulbs, but upon testing out the bulbs I found out that one of bulb might have been damaged. Upon removing the bulb, I had found out that bulb was coated with weird material. I have installed and removed a large number of bulbs so I do not think it's related to installation issue.Now, I am stuck with one usable bulb out of two.
They went into my wife's 2009 Mercedes C300. The factory bulbs lasted 4.5 years. After a week I have not heard any complaints from the driver.
These bulbs are much brighter than the stock ones.  You will notice the difference once you put them in.  They provide a lot more light.
Purchased these for my new 2013 Impreza in last year. Works great, it's much brighter than the stock. But they don't has long.  only last a little over 1 year.I don't drive at night that much, but after one year and a cold winter, both burned out. back to the stock bulb for now.
I put these on my 2007 Sequoia fog lights and they light up the road pretty good, much better than stock.  However, they aren't the crisp xenon white that I expected from the picture since they're only 4000k, still has a slight yellow (my housings are clean and clear), so I'll be upgrading to the Diamond Vision Ultimate White 5000k's soon.
These are NOT Xenon White (I wasn't expecting them to be) but they are bright, safe, and economical. I would highly recommend these.
I replaced my burned out SilverStar with a set of these. I have not had them long enough to rate their life span but the emitted light is very bright and welcomed by my aging eyes. I would say they are brighter than my SilverStars but since I don't drive after dark very much that could not be a positive statement. I am very pleased with them so far.
This is an improvement on the original lights that came with my car.  I can see more of the road now.
Great product. I think they are way brighter than the stock bulbs on my wife's 2012 Honda. I had some bad experiences with other bulbs in the past which I paid $40 for. These are half that and if they last at least a year I will be impressed. Don't touch the glass when you install them it can cause them to burn out quickly. Good price and nice look, I would recommend these.
Right on the box " Bright white Xenon look ". In their advertising " Bright white / blue light " I have to call BS on this one. All I can say about them is average incandescent yellow in color. Made in Korea.
Used these to replace 11 year old headlights on an acura integra.  Night and day difference. Nice white color with very good visibility improvements.  Ive had a set of these in another vehicle and they last much longer then Sylvannia Silverstar or UltraBrites.
Bought these for the wife's 2006 grand cherokee, she loves the whiter light they produce. I also bought the high beam ones.
These arrived on time .They are a great improvemeny over originalscannot see purpose in going to HID bulbs when these are fine.
The biggest question about these lamps I can't answer yet - how long will they last? What I can say, the 9006 bulbs fit my Buick Rendezvous perfectly (darn you Buick for making those headlamps so difficult to get at). The bulbs are much brighter than standard 9006 bulbs. There is no real blue tint to the light; at least that I can see (the Rendezvous has a reflector cap over the end of bulb, so that might make a difference).As always, when one headlight burns out, the second one will probably burn out soon anyway. It is always a good idea to replace headlights in pairs.The packaging for these lamps has to be some of coolest looking but stupid I have ever seen. They should design these packages so that you can remove the bulb easily without ever touching the glass capsule. The package should also protect the bulb while you are installing the bulbs. This package does neither. When you pull off the cardboard wrap, there are two thick clear plastic covers that fall off. The lamps are then held in a plastic base. You have to bend the two bases apart to get at the bulbs. Once the halves are separated, you have to really pull hard and wiggle the lamp to remove it from the plastic package. I hated the package.I hope these lamps last a long time. They certainly are bright.
I bought these for my 2009 Chevy Silverado. bought them along with the same brand for the low beams, as I was putting in new headlight housings also.These are definitely brighter, and whiter, than the stock bulbs were. They haven't been in that long yet, so I can't comment on the longevity, but I've very happy with the light they put out. Was a good upgrade!
Firstly, Gabriel Ricci's review is spot on, I did similar exhaustive review and read up of all the aftermarket replacement bulbs (DRLs and High Beams) for Honda Pilot 2011. These came closest without going the expensive, warranty voiding HID conversion or other brand bulbs like Syl and PIAA etc. also Philips reputation and several owners' experience counted  in the decision. The vendor Morex shipped it fast. Now if you know what you are buying into and have expectations accordingly, these bulbs are awesome, they are brighter than factory OEM bulbs ( Sylvania and  Osram), little hint of blue, still remains in the yellow , near white spectrum, maybe about 3800 to 4000 kelvin. These are nowhere near HID nor meant to be. Neither they are the Gaudy, bluish color that some of the other bulbs look. These preserve or enhance the intensity of the OEM while improving about 25% light output, which in turn is very effective during night driving. Cannot comment on the longevity as they have been in use just a few hours now... Will update after 6 months or earlier if there are any life related issues. BTW, installation on a Pilot is a real PITA given the tight working room to access these lights. Need good amount of finger dexterity to get the job done. Driver's side is more difficult, but not undo able with some patience, nothing to be removed like air filter intake etc. wear thin working gloves and ensure no dirt, smudges on the bulb during installation.
These lights cost a lot less than the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras I have been using. I cannot tell a single bit of difference and am very please with that. They look to have exactly the same color temperature and brightness. I still had one of the old ones in and just put one of these in initially for a comparison. Hopefully they have a long life - that was a huge problem with the Sylvania's and why I am trying a different brand.
These are really great, come manufacture-packaged very well, and install easily. Filiments can break easily in shipping and I metered both of these bulbs 1st, and installed both. I was going to install one bulb but it is so much brighter than the original I replaced both and will keep the older one as a spare. I recommend these and the good price.
I bought these to replace the GE Nighhawks that only lasted about a year and just barely brighter than the OEM lights. These are significantly brighter and i seldom need to use the hi beam to see. Don't have a clue how long they last but they are at least a bunch brighter than the originals (even though they last forever)
Installed a set of Fog Lights in Jetta Sport Wagen. The lights I bought are VW OEM style and replace the lower grill. They however are not OEM and come with some garbage bulbs. I made a huge mistake and using the bulbs that cames with the lights and lower grill inserts. One of them burned out with in 15 minutes of use. These bulbs are much brighter and have a better pattern. I don't use the fog lights much but they have been in for about 10 months and work great.....
Appear to be a little brighter but not a lot, the price was great very cheap compered to store purchased lamps.
I like the light from these lamps.  I made sure to install with rubber gloves to prolong life, so I'll see if I can get a good year out of them at least.  Given the fact that a set of these cost me less than the price of one standard OEM replacement bulb from the parts department of my dealer, it's not like I'm spending a fortune if I replace them yearly.  Besides, the much better illumination makes it even more worth it.  Although they won't be mistaken for HID lights, they are definitely whiter and brighter than standard halogen bulbs.  It gives off a nice natural looking white and most importantly, bright light.  I like the increased visibility it provides my wife's mini-van.  I feel a bit safer when she's driving at night with the kids.  That was my primary reason for buying these, not as an HID wanna-be.  If you're buying these for a Xenon or HID look, save your money or buy an HID conversion kit instead.  My car has factory HID and side by side, they look nothing alike, not even close.  However, these perform well against HIDs and aren't exactly a slouch.  They actually even illuminate wider laterally than my lamps. I originally thought about installing an HID conversion kit on the van, but after researching online for a few weeks and reading numerous stories about problems ranging from water intrusion to bad ballasts or bulbs, I decided to stick with standard yet brighter bulbs.  They may not be as "pretty" as HID lamps but they seem just as bright.
I have led low beams headlights at around 5500k and that has a yellowish to them. I installed these high beam bulbs at night when I turned them on and my first thought was ugly yellow color so much more so then my other lights, what a waste of time and money then i noticed how far they project and am surprised how far they project light.  i was disappointed the light from these is really on the yellow side, yet they project much farther then anything standard bulb I have tried and i like that,I drive on country roads and a bright headlight is very helpful. i only used them a few times and am happy with the distance i can see.  i don't know if you can get any better with this standard bulb type, there not white. if you want white your going to have to use around 6000k xenon or LED, any more then 6000k it turns blue anything under 6000k starts turning yellow. As for standard bulbs these are the best i have tried and cant beet the price.I remembered trying blue tinted brand name bulbs like these on my other older truck many years ago and was disappointed from low brightness and color, I thought things may have changed over the years so I tried these. I not positive these are brighter but they do project farther then the bulbs that they replaced
A real pair of beauties.  Easy installation and make driving a pleasure again.Worked very well, no problems on installing the bulbs
These are the combination daytime running lights (DRLs) and high beams in my 2013 Subaru Impreza 5-door, and a curious thing happens depending on how much voltage passes through them.In DRL mode, the light is as yellow as the OEM Sylvania bulbs, yellow enough to make you mutter "What the Frank?".  But come the night, when the road is clear ahead in both directions and you fire up the high beams, they blaze into white-hot glory, illuminating signs, reflectors and taillights of parked cars a good quarter- to half-mile away.  They won't make anyone say "Ooh, HIDs!" but on the other hand, no one will sneer "Look at the dork with the cheesy fake-HID definitely NOT street-legal blue headlights!"Longevity is the only unknown.  Time will tell.
If you're looking for the bright white light offered by Xenon, look elsewhere (or invest a bunch of $$ in an HID conversion kit).  I will say that these are significantly brighter than stock and seem to have a wider beam path so I'm not unhappy.
These are not HID like, they are not even ID without the HThey are not whiter, not brighter and not even better than stock.DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THESEThe other ratings you read here must have been paid for .Move on and don't buy these .I just save you 30+ bucks.
I bought this for a 2007 Toyota Corolla LE. Originally, I wanted to install HIDs on this car. However, after looking into it, it would have required cutting a wire to disable the Daytime Running Lights (DRL), as well as retrofitting in projectors in order for the HIDs to output light effectively.Dismayed, I decided to look into &#34;higher output&#34; bulbs, not even knowing if such a thing existed. This product is it. Understand, it WON'T and is not meant to output light like an HDI light. That they market it that way is probably the reason they get any bad reviews at all. However, what this bulb WILL do is improve the light output of your standard halogen setup - in my case the light output looks to be about 25% brighter at LEAST (this will depend on your current set up), and the light is much whiter than before. It isn't so white that it borders on blue and is bothersome to the eyes, but it a good, bright, white light. The best part is the price - at ~$30, it is a very very reasonable alternative to a +$200 HID kit, not including retrofitting projectors and any other issues you may have to make an HID setup work.
These are great headlights. They are bright white, but don't have that awful fake HID blue look. I picked up a pair for my 2006 Scion tC to replace the stock bulbs (they lasted over 6 years!) and should have done it sooner. I picked up a pair for a 2008 Jetta (amazon part finder said "this fits") but they did not.
This is a review from a guy who just had enough of Sylvania Silver Star or w.e. their fancy bulbs are. Most of us can agree that Sylvania is good for a few days or weeks. If you're lucky but then it starts to lose its brightness and fades. The Philips hasn't faded out and I've had it for several months now. And boy! does it make a difference in distance and brightness. I can see about 3-4 blocks ahead and its bright not yellowish but a white/light blue color. TO BE CLEAR it's not bright enough to blind oncoming drivers.
Replaced  ten year old oem bulbs with these. Very nice white light. May not be actual white but compared to  the old it is brilliant white. So far very nice color and great improvement in ability to see. Hope they last long but the price is good compared to equal products in other brands.
I bought this for my dads 2003 Mercury Sable as a 2012 Christmas present.  His vehicle had the original bulbs in them and they were starting to dim and always had that nasty &#34;yellowish&#34; look to them.  Installation on his vehicle was a breeze and I am happy to report that this product was a major upgrade from stock factory headlights.They provide a nice clear beam with a small tint of blue, but not that annoying BAM blue.  Do not expect these to mimic HID headlights or light up the road like a good pair of HID headlights will.  However, if you are looking for a solid set of replacement bulbs from factory these should satisfy you.I own a pair of silverstar headlights on my truck and I would have to say that I do like the silverstars better.  However, it is one thing to take into consideration that I have HEARD that these bulbs last longer and are of course, slightly cheaper up front.Pros:Light up the road considerably better as opposed to stock &#34;yellow&#34; beams.Gives the car a cleaner/fresher/newer look at night from the frontWallet/Purse friendlyCons:  Some may find these to be just a tad bit on the blue side.  If you are looking for something a little more sharp and true to white I highly recommend the silverstars.  Stay away from the ultras though.  They are way too overpriced and last for a very short time period.
Product is exactly as described, probably 40%-60% brighter than my original lights. This particular model actually installs in 5 minutes total for both lights!
Excellent upgrade. My last set of bulbs were pretty weak and it made driving at night fairly unpleasant. These definitely brightened up my field of view. They are a little whiter than your standard halogen bulbs, but don't expect an HID/Xenon look. If you need brighter lights you can't go wrong with these. They've been in for about a month now. Will see how long they last.
I purchased these headlights to replace the aging ones in my 89 LeSabre. I had a pair of similar Sylvania's in my 89 Oldsmobile, and I really liked them, so I thought that I would give these a try because they were only $20 instead of $60 for the Sylvania's. These are just as bright I think, but they don't have as blue of a tint as the Sylvania's, but that doesn't matter to me. I just like them because they are brighter and whiter than traditional halogen's and they are really great in the fog.There is just one thing about these lights. Because of the gas used to power them, they will not last as long as regular halogens because these are a lot brighter. On average, these will last about a year, maybe two with depending how much you use them.Overall, I would highly recommend these to someone looking for replacement headlights.
From great packaging to excellent performance, I am happy with my purchase. I was looking for quality lights that are bright and do not have the yellow tint to them, all while not planing on giving away my entire wallet. The item arrived on time, was packaged very well both by Amazon and its own packaging. I got it installed within 10 minutes.
....which is true if I was changing the fog lights. While ordering the high beams the configuration guide suggested these as low beam. Not very good symmetry when obvious I was replacing high beam headlights not my fog lights. Seem well made and great packaging and Amazon was great about taking back.
There are brighter bulbs out there but these are the highest quality brightest that will give the slight blue HID look.
I read that these bad boys don't last too long, but I've got over 30,000 miles on them, and all is good so far.  I installed these on a 2011 Jeep Wrangler and they are a vast improvement over the &#34;yellowy&#34; stock bulbs.  Maybe it's the color spectrum that is highlighted by this &#34;whiter&#34; light, but they actually seem to light up the road better than the stock units in my application.  Rest assured, these are a nice, brilliant WHITE light. They do lean a bit &#34;cool&#34; so I guess you'd say they are more going toward blue than yellow, but they are certainly not those Angel Eye blue types of lights that the import crowd love so much.
Amazon's parts search lead me to these bulbs and I purchased without hesitation based on excellent reviews.  Took them to my mechanic for replacement and to my surprise the socket size does not match factory's socket size.In addition, Prius ( and most Toyota) factory original head lights have dual filaments, one for low beam & other for high beam.  This Philip 9006 has only one filament for the low beam and no high beam.  Not a smart move if you want both low & high beam for your vehicle.Needless to say, I had my mechanic ordered a set xxx brand bulbs that comes with dual filaments while these are going back to Amazon for a refund.
Not pleased! Light bulb burnt out less then 60 days. The brightness yes is good, but only lasting 60 days not good. I will be upgrading to PIIA light bulbs. No more &#34;good buy for the money&#34;.
This light is still too yellow. I switched these out and out in HID and used these for my fog lights. They're better than stock but no where near as white as HID.
This is an improvement over the factory bulbs that came with my vehicle.  While not a HID, it's better than stock.
Absolutely the greatest lights for vision and peripheral coverage. I'm using these in a Lexus GS300 along with the Philips 9006 lights.
I had GE NightHawks installed in my Civic before getting these but they only lasted 11 months (still waiting to hear back from their warranty department).  CrystalVision&#8217;s are similar to the NightHawks - I would even say the NightHawks are slightly brighter.  For $23 I guess they are a good buy.  You really won't know if they're worth it until you get close to months 6-12...that's when they usually burn out.  I don't understand, I have Nokya Yellow 9005 High Beam headlight bulbs and those have been working for almost three years now and mind you, the Civic's have daytime running lights so they're always on!I'm not sure if it's been proven the CrystalVision, NightHawks or the all of the Sylvania's burn out from use or over time but it seems like no-name brands (like the Nokya's) are built better.  Back to the CrystalVision's, they're pretty bright and provide sufficient lighting on unlit roads.  I probably wouldn&#8217;t buy them again if one were to burn out but it&#8217;s a okay buy.  Next, I think I&#8217;m going to try the Nokya&#8217;s Artic White DOT headlight bulbs since I&#8217;ve had a good experience with the non-DOT approved high beam light bulbs.(check out the on-the-road picture I posted)
I put a set of these in my 2006 Tacoma and they are noticeably brighter than even the Toyota factory bulbs.  I had extended visibility with these bulbs, and the price is right.  Nice white color, no blue look to them at all, and nobody high-beams me because they are too bright to oncoming traffic.My only issue and why I gave these 4 stars instead of 5 was that the driver's side bulb went out after just less than a year, but I do a ton of off-roading on some very rough roads and that always beats up the filaments in all of my lights.  For just street driving, I would expect these to last twice as long.Overall, these are great lights and I just bought another set to replace the burnt bulb and have a spare onhand.
I am trying these this time. I have tried the Sylvania Ultra Vision and they don't last. Maybe a year? Which is unacceptible.
I have aftermarket headlamps in my car that have a reflector known as "black mirrors" basically the mirrors are tinted so the front glass is clear but it appears to be darker.  The problem with the headlamps is that the bulbs I was using didn't end up projecting much light onto the road.  They were too dim to drive the car at speed on backroads, even with my high beams on.I did some research around on Amazon and decided to give these bulbs a whirl.  What a difference!  I'll definitely be sticking with these.  I wonder how much brighter they'd be with my factory headlamps -- but not enough to switch back. ;)
Don't waste your money on these bulbs. I installed them in my Grand Prix and saw no improvement, just a dent in my wallet. Don't fall into the hype like I did.
I ordered these 9003's (H4's) not expecting the world considering I had tried Silverstars and another off brand from Ebay with little results.  These bulbs are for a 1994 Honda Civic.  They are slightly brighter than stock, but nothing for me to get excited over.  For the price, they are worth it though.  You can tell as soon as you open them from the box that they are a more "heavy duty" bulbs.  They just look neat.  Perhaps these would work better in something newer than my old 1994!
They do indeed get more light out on the road compared to standard  H7.  Worth it, seeing is believing.  so far they have also held up well.
I got this bulb for my 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe to replace the high beams that burned out. It works great. They are brighter than the ones before and cheaper. I will most likely be sticking with these bulbs from now on, unless something happens to them in the near future (if it does, I'll edit this review and post it).Pros: Price, very brightCons: none so far***NOTE*** Keep in mind that these types of bulbs burn brighter than normal ones in older cars that used to last an entire year. With these types of bulbs, expect them to only last 6-9 months at the most. Halogen and Xenons burn brighter...so it is kind of a cost/benefit ratio when wanting a headlight bulb. A lot of negative reviewers complain that they only lasted 7 months or so, that is to be expected. With better technology, comes more cost. So expect them to last less than a year when getting these types of bulbs.
i bought 2 sets one for my ford freestar and one for my ford escape they are much brighter than the factory ones .....they are not as bright as HID bulbs but for an inexpensive street legal bulb they are an excelent choice. when switching to a higher performance bulb always keep in mind they use a finer filiment and you can expect a shortened life. also when replacing bulbs make sure you dont get any fingerprints on them as this causes the bulbs to run hotter reducing the life further.
Phillips uses a smaller capsule to raise the temperature of their filament and thus make it burn brighter, plus has a higher-pressure noble gas charge to dissuade the filament from outgassing and burning out early. The end result is a bulb that lasts as long as and uses the same amount of power as what comes with most cars, but which puts out almost as much light as the 100 watt bulbs that are illegal to use on the highway and have a bad habit of melting connectors and headlight switches -- *without* the short life of the high-powered bulb, and *without* extra draw on your battery and *without* extra strain on your head light stalk switch (which is very expensive to change out if it gets melted). It's a no-brainer. If your car or motorcycle uses 9003 or H4 light bulbs -- or can be modified to use 9003 light bulbs -- buy these. You'll get more light on the road. And if your car or motorcycle uses standard round headlights or can be converted to such, add in the Hella euro-spec reflectors (which have better light control than US-spec reflectors to direct the light to where you need it rather than into the eyes of oncoming traffic) to get a lot more light on the road where you need it, rather than lighting up the tree tops like the US-spec reflectors do on high beam  (why does the NHTSA think I need to light up the tree tops? Are they expecting an outbreak of vampire bats or killer owls or kamikaze squirrels or something?!).
I purchased the Xtreme H7 bulbs based on other reviews and I must say many of the reviews are true.  These bulbs are impressive maybe not 80% brighter as the package claims but they are brighter and the light much improvement over the last H7 bulbs I had.  With the last set of H7 bulbs I had I tried my hardest not to drive at night but I know find myself wanting to drive at night.
Bought a new car and thought the headlights were dim. Bought these after seeing them praised in many forums.Unfortunately, these didn't make as drastic an improvement as I was hoping. They're certainly not worse, but also not the night and day difference I've seen others describe them as.Will be looking into wether or not my projectors are worn out. Lens and headlights are crystal clear. Unsure what else to do.
Pros:1.  Brighter than the OEM halogen bulb2.  Has lasted a yearCons:1.  It isn't all that brighter than OEM halogen.  It's not anything like putting in a set of HID headlights.2.  Has an average lifespan of a yearSummary:Sure, the light output was a bit more than what I was getting with the standard halogen bulbs from Sylvania.  But it's not a significant increase.  Just marginal enough that you don't feel terrible about spending the extra money on these bulbs.  That being said, when my headlights burn out, I'm probably going to buy another set.  Compared to the light output on true xenon/HID bulbs, these aren't all that impressive.
I replaced my stock Jeep headlights with these. They seem brighter and the pattern seems better too. Some people flash their highs at me now because they assume I have my high beams on - so I know they're at least brighter because that hadn't happened with the stock headlights. These swap in just like any replacement bulbs. Besides the hassle of having to remove my air intake and horn to replace them - which is very specific to a Jeep installation - they take maybe 5 minutes to remove the old ones and replace with these. Make sure you DO NOT touch the bulbs with your bare hands at all. If the oil from your skin gets on the glass it seriously diminishes the life of the bulb.
I was hoping that these would be noticeably brighter than other bulbs.  After all they pitch them pretty strongly.  These are no brighter than the Sylvania bulbs they replaced.  They are less expensive so that is a plus.  Let's see how long they last.
These headlights are super bright.  Probably the brightest that I have ever had.  When I'm driving down the road with my low beams on, people are flashing me to turn my high beams off.  These light up the road like no other bulb that I have ever installed.
I was looking forward to brighter vision, especially on some 2-lane blacktop highways that I travel.  Really disappointed with these bulbs as they don't seem any better than the original lights in my '98 Ford F150.  In order to get better vision, I finally installed halogen driving/fog lights, and that solved the problem.  I do not recommend these bulbs, not worth the extra money.
Compared to the stock bulbs these are definitely an upgrade for my Jeep Liberty. The bulbs shine wider on the road and are slightly brighter although not as bright as I expected.  I have these bulbs for my VW as well and they seem brighter, to the point where oncoming traffic are flashing their high beams at me. Overall, a good bulb for the price.
I had read many reviews on automotive forums praising these bulbs so I decided to get some. While for some folks they may seem excellent, for me they were literally no brighter at all than my OEM Sylvania bulbs (nor whiter, though I know these aren't necessarily supposed to be white). Either that means these bulbs aren't as great as they make them sound, or my OEM bulbs are fantastic to begin with, or a mix of both. Either way, don't think they're worth the price. Not bashing these, just saying there were definitely not the improvement I was expecting. You'd be better off spending a little more for a cheap HID kit that would be much brighter than these.
My last set of bulbs from Sylvania were brighter than these and lasted 5 months longer. The four month life span i got out of these did dissapoint.
I chose the Philips X-tremes after reading a few good reviews and after reading a lot more negative reviews on the Sylvania Ultra`s. The Lamps came in a very sturdy package. The light output is better than the OEM headlamps in the 2011 FJ. The Philips X-tremes pattern is good with a slightly wider and longer beam. It is just the right "White" light and not to over bearing. No flashes from on coming traffic. I`ll say these are worth the cost. I gave them a 4 star rating bc they are a very good replacement bulb, but not the greatest, could use more side lighting. I don`t know the length of service as of yet, I hope to get 1-2 years with no Day Time driving light to wear them out early. So far so Good!
I could not tell the difference between these and the stock bulbs in my 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6. I was looking for a brighter bulb with reasonable life expectancy and decide to go with this brand/model and avoid the so-called &#34;Death Star&#34; by another brand. Since installing on the 2009 Honda Accord is easier by removing the front wheel and peeling back the plastic fenderwell guard (there is no access from under the hood), the level of effort was not worth the gain; especially since there was no noticeable increase in brightness from stock.
I had been researching bulbs to increase my vision at night on my cruiser motorcycle. After much hunting and reading reviews, etc, I decided on these.  I put one into my headlamp, and WOW !!!What a difference !!!  I love the results.  I will carry the other bulb in the bike's toolbox for a spare, just in case.
Purchased the bulbs to replace some dim bulbs with nearly 100k miles on them. The packaging for these is very protective but was a hassle to remove the bulbs from. Easy to install, fit perfectly on my vehicle. Definitely brighter, but I was replacing original factory bulbs so I can't really say whether they are brighter than new factory installed ones. I can't comment on the life, but for the price I would definitely purchase again provided they last a decent amount of time.
These light do make a difference for a 2012 Jeep Wrangler, stock light were not bright at all, I estimate that there is at least a 50% increase in brightness. Well worth the expense for the upgrade!
This plugged right in and worked as advertised. The packaging when I received mine had &#34;9008 xps2&#34; vs &#34;9008 H13&#34; as shown in the circle, so don't worry if that happens to you. The end result was a very much more white light vs the factory yellow/orange. The distance it goes out is about the same as the factory. The fill out to the sides and near the front of the Jeep is better. It's not holy crap better, but a bit better. Now I don't feel the need to run my fog lights all the time. I think the brights are no better than the low beams on these really. I got mine with a rebate for about $20. In theory because they are burning brighter they will burn out faster.TIPSDon't touch the bulb when installing.
I'm trying them one more time then THAT'S IT . We bought these last July now 13 months later one burnt out?  They put out great light at night but having a life of only a year is pathetic, maybe I got a bad one? because only one burnt out and no it was not from touching the bulb ( when I install ANY auto light I do it with a fresh pair of clean gloves on my hands to prevent skin oil transfer )I will try them one more time and then move on to a different bulb if they burn out in such a short time again.
Maybe I'm biased because the Toyota FJ Cruiser seems to come with the most anemic headlights ever made... but these Philips were a marked increase in brightness for me. I'm very satisfied.
Still have not blown out on me as other people keep saying. I can't help but wonder if they know not to touch the bulb itself.  It can be difficult to see improvement in a headlight on any regular night but I have found on wet and rainy nights these bulbs make a huge difference.
I have a 2001 prius c dim lights. I used a cleaner on the plastic and it was brighter. I tried these headlights cause of the ratings. I put only one in for now and was trying to compare in the dark. the package says its 80% brighter, I dont think so. More like 25% brighter and a little wider. I really want to know how long these will last, some have said one year, I hope so. Ive had them for a couple of months and they are better than the old ones, the price was not bad on amazon too!
No complaints. I previously had the Sylvania's in there and I don't know if it's because they lost power over time but I don't have the issue of low light on those dark stormy nights.
I had some other bulbs in the car before that I thought was pretty bright but then I tried these based on reviews and price, and all I have to say is that I am amazed at the distance these light bulbs project to! I feel much safer driving at night because I can see a lot further and the angle is much wider. So worth the money!
Nice white light, a little brighter than a "regular" bulb.  It helps me spot El Chupacabra that has been spotted in the area recently and a nice unpromoted feature of these lights is the color balance of these lights are specifically made to fend off vampires. I had the chance to try it out the other night on my way home from my competitive bread making club and they worked great.
After doing alot of research on aftermarket light bulbs for my late-model vehicles, I decided to go with these. And i'm glad I did!!! First of all, I think the wavelength of the Silverstar lights is inefficient and obnoxious to say the least. I've utilized silverstars in the past with less than pleasant results, often hindering my driving ability in everything but clear weather. This is not the case with the Philips bulbs tho. While I wasn't blown away by the brightness of these lamps (as other reviewers have noted), the lights pattern is MUCH more effective than stock lamps. These bulbs also retain the OEM yellow/incandescent color, thus matching any stock fog light bulbs you might have on your vehicle. This simple fact keeps the vehicle appearance clean as opposed to having different color/intensity sets of bulbs. Good stuff...
Nice bright white light.  I hope they last more than one year, but let's see what happens.  Consumer reports say these brighter halogens are basically just whiter lights, not much brighter anyway.  But I got it for 20 bucks if my rebate check ever comes in.  But you can buy regular phillps for 12 bucks a pair and they will last at least a few years, but I personally like the whiter light.
I noticed the extra field of vision from these bulbs . I used them in my Subaru replacing both bulbs as one was out, they were GE bulbs.  They are brighter then the old bulbs.
I purchased these love-beam headlight bulbs to replace the stock bulbs in my 2003 Toyota 4Runner; per the Amazon parts tool.  I'd never replaced the bulbs myself, but after a quick 'how to' on Google, I easily replaced the bulbs myself and was pleased with the illumination they provided.The light is visibly whiter than the stock bulbs they replaced, and seem about 30% brighter with good coverage to the sides as well as the front of the vehicle.The claim by Philips that these bulbs provide 'up to' 50% more width and 50' longer beam is debatable, but I would imagine that depends a lot on your driving conditions, age of your vehicle, type of vehicle and similar.A single OEM bulb was about six dollars, so for a little bit more per bulb I believe I installed a much better product.  I'm pleased with my purchase and would recommend these bulbs to others who are looking for brighter, whiter low-beam headlights at the right price.
For some reason all of the bulbs in my VW Golf, not just the headlights, seem to burn out frequently. I've gone through about 7 pair of headlight bulbs in 10 years. I've tried expensive ones, long life ones, and many others. None seemed to last any longer than the others and even light output seemed to be the same. The last set I bought were these and so far they seem to have lasted longer than the rest, including the OEM bulbs. I bought this set to keep in the car for when the other do go out, which I'm sure they will. These are not supper premium, high output, magic bulbs, and therefore are reasonably priced. Even though they are not the newest wiz bang bulbs they seem to me to put out the same light as any other bulb yet also seem to hold up better.
These are a great deal to replace stock bulbs, but if you are expecting whiter light don't bother with these. I installed the Philip bulb in one side to compare with the stock, no difference what so ever. Trust me these are not any whiter color than stock.
So far so good. I hope these last longer than some of the other reviews I had read on them.My vehicle is white, and these lights are whiter than the ones I had in them before. I enjoy the look and the clearness of them. I do not think they go 50' further though&#8230;The price is the same as if you purchased it from the local store (in my case). The shipping was really fast, I am pleased with the purchase.
Definitely brighter than stock bulbs. Have been using them for 2-3 months now and no issues. They do illuminate the road a little further.
The quality and performance of these bulbs cannot be equaled by any other $18 pair of lights I have used yet. After a couple of trips, and more extensive night driving in my 1997 F-150, I can, with all confidence, say these are the best lights I have ever used. Properly adjusted, in my truck these lights easily reach out another 50 feet on the pavement, as advertised. The distance may be a little further, as is the 50% wider spread. The street signs on the side of the road and at the end of the street are easy to see again and I have actually been driving when, more than once, people in my truck asked if my high beams were on. Driving in my neighborhood at night, I have not been flashed, yet. When I turn on my high beams I can see even more difference. If they failed today, I might still give them a positive review, with my 59 year old eyes saying oh thank you. I don't know for sure if Philips is going to discontinue the Vision Plus line as I have heard, but if they do it's a shame. I will buy a couple more sets, just in case. Amazon is still the best place to find deals on these lights.
These bulbs are noticeably brighter than the OEM bulbs (this is compared to 3 year old bulbs). They definitely put off more white light, and have more light at the edges of the cone than OEM bulbs.
Purchased these for my '12 Jetta and I must say there is a noticable difference compared to the stock bulb. The OEM bulb was a dull yellow and shined maybe 25' infront of the vehicle. Once the new bulbs were installed I immediately noticed a change in light output. First, the beam is a shade whiter than a stock bulb. It's also brighter and shines a great distance further than the original. Granted, the headlight assembly plays a major factor on how well the bulb performs but considering both Philips and VW are German engineered they seem to work well with eachother.  Definitely a great purchase especially for the price!
Like the title says, the package looks nice, but is difficult to open without touching the glass of the bulbs. Keeping the bulbs clean prior to installation is a big factor in a long lifespan (skin oils will burn off, causing localized hotspots and possible cracks, as I understand it).The bulbs are nice, definitely whiter than the old stock bulbs I had, and the price is right.
Bulbs appear to be of high quality but i can't honestly say they improve visibility by the amount claimed on the packaging...it appears the same as OEM.Still good bulbs though
These are the best and brightest bulbs for the $$ that I have tried, out of 3 other types. Great and long lasting.
The cost of these bulbs on amazon is way cheaper than the parts store by a lot. These are clearly brighter than my originals but I don't expect them to last as long since they probably run hotter. One trick, turn on your daytime running lamps, gimmick to make you buy more.
These are ordinary, run of the mill H7 headlight bulbs. They do what they are supposed to do and they fit the sockets fine - like they should. I cannot confirm that the beams are any wider or longer than they used to be with any other bulbs that I've tried, but maybe I've been using bulbs that also emit "50% wider and 30% longer" beams - I don't know; I can only report that the illumination is appropriate but not extraordinary.The bulbs are priced a quite a bit under the Sylvania Silverstars that have a slight blue tint on the glass and appear to be a little whiter but emit more or less the same amount of light.For some reason Amazon believes that these bulbs don't fit my 2004 Mazda 3; but an H7 bulb is an H7 bulb, and every H7 bulb is designed to fit an H7 socket, and these bulbs indeed fit my car's sockets well, and they don't overheat, and they are OK.It is always beneficial to put small amount of dielectric grease on the contacts before installing a bulb, so do your car a small favor.
Easy to install. Be careful that you are buying low beam for your headlights (which these are) and not low beam for fog lights. Philips Amazon configuration guide indicated my car would use the 9006 as low beam when I also bought 9005 as high beam. Well, that's correct if I wanted to put in new fog lights. The actual low beam bulbs are these H11's and they are brighter! 9006's went back to their happy home at the Amazon warehouse. Note, I saved the old bulbs and put them in the new packaging just in case I have a burnout and need a quick replacement. You never know.
Eh. I have a 2005 Acura RSX and these lights look identical to the stock headlights in the car. Wouldn't recommend these as they don't seem brighter or anything of the sort. Waste of money in my opinion.
This product is good for your car which I recommend to get when your lights blow out and need another bulb.
So this stinkin little saab 95 I'm working on looked like it has xenon head lights, but after opening it , it's a standard halogen bulb!! Seller said it would fit this make and model, make sure you actually take the bulb out and inspect it and the numbers that are on it! Overall nothing wrong with the bulb I was sent, it just was not the right one for this application.....product and shipping was great!!
This thing is actually same as the original one from Dealer.  Dealer gonna charged $150 for the lightbulb and another $200 for installation.  I bought 2 of it because many people told me the light will look difference after awhile(color may look vary).  After i installed and i think it looks ok for me and i just keep another one in the trunk just in case.  It is not easy to take out the old one but is little bit tricky to put back the new one.  Anyway, it took awhile to do it in 1st time... but after you know it, it should be done less than 15 mins
Excellent!!! The price is right and the temp is as well. I compared the numbers off of stock with these and they are the same! Whew! OEM all around, same maker and color temp! Look at the savings over the steaer, you cant beat Amazon! i buy everything off of Amazon because i save $$$
Don't hesitate with these, they are the same as the OEM manufacturers use. They are also so much brighter than aftermarket D2S bulbs due to the quality of the glass/salts/other components.
The price is decent and the quality is the same as OEM. Slightly yellow and they get whiter as they age. The difference between the new and old bulb is amazing. I didn't realize how much HID bulbs degrade over time. Highly Recommended.
I know these are tricolor, so depending on what angle you are at in front of them, they yellow is too dominant.  I have very white LED fog lights and they make these headlights look like yellow fogs.  They are bright enough to light up the road, but next time I'll get a whiter bulb.
USE the AMAZON fit guide as this will not work in my 14 WRX. It is my fault not Phillips as I did not use the fit guide and just went on the fact that a 9005 bulb will work in my car but THIS 9005 bulb only works in one direction or you get the yellow on the wrong side. Truly I hate this will not work as I can tell this is such a well made product so if it will fit in your car... Go for it!
I've had these in my car for a bit over a year and have been very impressed so far.I'm surprised by the short bulb life reviews, and I'm not doubting those, but ~15 months along and mine are still burning bright.I have them installed in a 1987 BMW 325is that have new Hella housings from a '91 325i. The low beams have very good light output and even color. They do not have the fake-HID blue look and the three color design does seem to work well.The high beams are incredibly effective, especially considering that these are a stock wattage bulb.A note on the amount of light that stock wattage aftermarket bulbs put out; they are all going to put out the same amount of light. Most of the wattage claims (100 watts of light from 60 watts!) are crazy marketing lies.Highs - good light output, even light pattern, no fake-blue color.Lows - hard to find, not available in some sizes.
Much brighter than standard bulbs and the Philips Crystal Vision, which is more white than anything else.  I really like the tribeam effect too.
Having been unimpressed with Silverstars and some of the "blue lights" on the market, I decided to give these a try.I have been very pleased with the performance of these units.  Unlike lesser products, they do not color coat the bulbs in a way that diminishes lighting just to achieve a color shift.  Instead, they have what look like little reflectors inside to send blue / yellow to the sides.Where I really noticed the difference was in how they really make the side of the road look much crisper.  The other big plus, especially versus the silverstars, is in rain or fog where they really do excel.While these will not turn your old headlights into HID's, they are a good upgrade and probably the best replacement option out there.  Sure, you could go with something higher wattage but that risks melting components or wires, or even creating an electrical fire.
The right half of the bulb is like a neon (highlighter) yellow color and the other side has a mild hint of blue. Overall the effect is nice and seeing at night is great. I used these to replace my silver stars and I have to say these look neat and seem to project as well. This has dual 55w filaments which is perfect for my car which uses 1 bulb for high beams, low beams, and running lights.Packaging was very sturdy and bulbs arrived save and well protected.
I purchased these for a co-worker who need bulbs for his truck. He didn't give me any complaints so I assumed he was happy with them.
Strong pressure when pump washer fluidEasy to install and good instructions how to wire to existing wiring from your vehicleGood to replace original windshield washer or make it universal windshield washer  for your car if you have room under hood
I replaced the old windshiled washer bag on my 72 AMC Javelin with this unit and it works perfectly.  I'm thrilled since the bag hasn't held fluid for the better part of 2 decades.
I bought this for my 98 Jeep Cherokee. It has a snorkel installed so the washer pump needed to be moved. Well this kit has every part you could imagine for a full installation from the switch to the tubing to the jets/nozzles. I was very impressed with all that it came with. It holds a little more than a quart.  For $13, I am 100% satisfied and will buy more if the need arises.
I got one a while back for the motorhome, and it works great.  I got another one for my Nissan 4x4, and am glad I did.  You can't go wrong with this unit.
Dont expect this to hold a full bottle of washer fluid! I'm using it as an Intercooler Sprayer & It's perfect for what I need it for, very easy to mount anywhere you like.
This is the one to get if you are replacing the waterpump. I used for a 2005 chevy suburban 5.3 liter. The original had 114,000 miles and was still good but i decided to replace it and all hoses for reliabilty. This pump looks like it is well made and includes the thermostat bolts and gaskets. This needs a new design thermostat and is different than the original, it costs around 30 bucks and includes housing and thermostat. GM makes another one which is cheaper but i read some reviews that the quality isnt there on that pump.
The water pump is very high quality and fit perfectly on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe 5.3L. The new pump came with two new thermostat bolts and high quality gaskets. The manual said to torque the bolts to 22 foot pounds and I also used medium strength blue lock tight. My original pump lasted 10 years and 110K so that's why I'm sticking with a new GM part. Update 5/6/13 The first pump failed it had a leak at the top metal pipe where it connects to the pump. After calling Amazon and speaking to several people then a manager I got the pump warrantied. Amazon can be tricky with auto part sales because of there 30 day money back guaranty even when the manufacture warranties the item for a year. This may be a problem for me buying auto parts from Amazon again.
This is the exact part that was on my vehicle and has lasted 10 years so I chose to replace the original with this one.  Kit comes with set of 2 gaskets (you should still use some RTV silicone water pump material on each side of the gasket to prevent gaskets from moving and leaking during installation.  There are also 2 bolts where the inlet for lower radiator hose containing thermostat gets bolted.  It is advised to purchase a new inlet with thermostat and to (check me on this) a new fan clutch when installing a new water pump.  I also decided to install a new serpentine belt tensioner which is bolted to the water pump at the same time.  Parts fit perfect and no leaks!
I purchased this for my 2003 Silverado 1500.  As recommended, I also purchased the updated thermostat housing, as GM updated it for 04-05 models.  Everything went perfect with the installation, until I put the thermostat on.  I had the torque wrench set to 15 lbs (as required) and the first bolt's head broke off before even getting to the TQ. spec.  I then had to remove the part, go to a local part store and pickup a non-GM part.  Sad.  When I installed the waterpump this time, I reused the factory bolts.  Everything is fine now.Sad that I went threw the effort to by the GM Canadian part (as opposed to Chinese), only to find that they included some cheap bolts made of tin.
Used to replace a failed (frozen,whoops) pump on my 2002 Chevy Silverado 5.3L and its running very well, no leaks. Make sure you order the ACDelco 15-11057 thermostat because nothing else will fit. If you order a thermostat to match your vehicle, it will not fit because this unit's outlet is smaller than OEM. Also, make sure you save the factory bolts and use blue thread lock before re-installing. I've also read reviews about the 2 thermostat bolts that come with unit having a breaking issue, so I didn't even risk it and just used my old ones.  Again, use the blue thread lock when reusing bolts. Another tip: use a little hand held razor scraper to clean the entire face of the the block where you will be setting the new pump into, removing any crust or build up before installing the new one. I also used a thin skim-coat of RTV water pump sealant around all gaskets and bolt holes. Just a little reinforcement since the gaskets are usually the first to go on the water pump.
I purchased this water pump to replace the original failed unit (coolant dripping from the weep hole) on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe with the 5.3 non-flex. The pump was boxed inside a box which was nice. Prime $3.99 next day shipping was also a plus. This pump is "Made in Canada" and is OEM GM. It comes with everything you need including 2 reusable gaskets and the 2 bolts for the water inlet housing. You will need to reuse the 6 original mounting bolts though.While looking ALMOST identical to the original pump, the thermostat/water inlet is slightly smaller on the new pump. The original thermostat is integral to the original inlet and it's physically too big to fit in the new pump. Luckily I purchased GM Part # 12600172ACDelco 15-11057 Water Pump Inletfrom Amazon at the same time. Together they are a perfect fit.
I purchased this to replace the water pump on my 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 and it fit perfectly.  It does not come with mounting bolts but it DOES include a pair of gaskets and the water pump inlet bolts.  Based on the advice of others, here, I elected to purchase the ACDelco 15-11057 Water Pump Inlet to go with this (which fit perfectly) and reuse my original inlet bolts.  I also used Permatex 22071 Water Pump and Thermostat RTV Silicone Gasket on each side of the gaskets as well as between the water pump and the water pump inlet.In case it might help another, the torque spec for the water pump inlet bolts on my truck was 11 ft-lbs, while the  torque spec for the water pump mounting bolts called for 37 ft-lbs.
I bought two of these for my twin-engine boat.  The hour meter portion works fine, but the tachometer is unreliable and continually jumps between accurate and random readings.  I've re-connected them multiple times, carefully following the instructions, and they just don't work right.  But again, it's a good hour meter that is easy to read.
Wanted to use this for rpms on a tractor with magneto, but it is useless for that.  Keeps giving erratic readings.  Ok on a single cylinder set up though
It works great.I use it  to tune small engine in our shop [...].I can see how I would not use these for a permanent mounted deal on a vehicle but we use these all the time tuning.Also when use none contact tachs for diesels.It seems all of the lower ratings are from people mounting them and the high ratings are for people that use them like I do.
easy to install, needed a tach to set the idle on my 1988 EL250B2, I was way to low in the rpms. now i know why the battery wasn't staying charged.i recommend this product to all those who are not really ace mechanics, just wrap the wire around the number one spark plug wire on multi cylinder  engine and your done.
I purchased this digital tach for 2 stroke chainsaws that I port,the tach works perfect, it gives me a no load rpm as a starting point foradjusting the carbs, it also works perfect in the cut so you can dial inthe rpm you want the saw running at full throttle while cutting woodunder heavy load, before purchasing this tach I would do all my tuning by ear,I was always pretty close but with this tach I can now tune saws to perfection.
I bought this instead of a better-known competitor (also carried by Amazon) to throw in a service kit I carry on the trailer for working on motorcycles (mostly other peoples') when I'm away from my shop. It's been with me for about a year, still working fine, but I won't purchase another -1. The display is difficult to read, even only slightly off-angle.2. The meter is not as sensitive as the competitor; sometimes it's necessary to experiment with position on the spark plug lead and the number of turns on the lead to get it to work consistently.3.  There's no "off" or "time out". Riding in mostly warmer climates as I do (Southwest U.S.), that's less of a concern, but I've since acquired a competitive product, since I expect the meter to be found, dead and utterly worthless, just about any day.4. It came without instructions of any sort; I'm advised that most do, however, arrive with documentation. Since most of the operations mimic my favored competitor it's not been difficult for me to use, but for the uninitiated it'd be no less than a disaster.To be fair, I can think of many, many applications where such an inexpensive meter would be perfectly acceptable; it is unfortunate that I have no similar uses for the meter and am obliged to publish such a negative review. For the price it's an absolute bargain, but sometimes it IS necessary to spend extra to get what you really want.
I noticed I'm making 1.5 additional MPGs on my Optima SX, the performance difference is not that significant, but, you feel more response when ECO is on with this filter.
I installed this is my 2011 Hyundai sontata gls. Easy to install and wash. I have had it for almost 3 years not (67000 miles) and just take out and wash and oil as needed. All my car I install K&N as soon as I buy them.
Bought these filters for 2012 Sonata GLS and 2010 Kia Sedona.  Was attracted to them because they last life of vehicle, but also curious about potential performance and fuel economy gains.  After a couple of months in both vehicles I have not noticed any gain in performance at all and fuel economy is exactly the same.  I just hope they work as well or better at filtering than other standard filters.
TestVariables-Car = 27k miles- tire pressure (35psi)-Oil (Royal Prpl )-Weather-TransitResults after changing filter/oil/oil filter (Royal Prpl)Average mpg gain (50miles daily driving) = more/less 3.2mpgAfter getting to know the car a little, performance (responsiveness) has increase.I do recommend this to others
I used this on my 13' sonata turbo limited. Dealership wanted 50 bucks to replace filter with a stock paper filter. Seemed like a lot of money to pop 2 clips, take filter out and put new one back in. Installation in this car was a lot easier than in other cars because the filter slots into the box, making the seal and closing of the air box effortless. I guess the tool that puts the filters in at the dealership is pretty expensive lol. This is almost 25-30$ more than the paper filter, but it flows a little more air, and still cheaper than the dealer. There is the 100K warranty thing, but requires services just as often as you'd replace a paper filter which costs about the same as the regular filter (part only, from amazon). Putting the filter in took me quite a while almost 30 minutes. That's only because there were quite a few leaves in the air box that I needed to vacuum, and my shop vac wasn't working so I had to get my house vac. Otherwise it would have been a 10-15 minute affair. As far as performance, and sound, I couldn't really tell any difference. I've used these filters on all my cars and I like the slight performance and mpg boost from them. With other cars that I've put it in, I usually notice a 1 mpg boost which makes me feel like the filter pays for itself. I've only owned the car for a month but I've noticed about the same 1 mpg boost so far.
I purchased this filter for my 11 Kia Optima. Filter give better fuel millage and I save money by not having to spend 10+ dollars on air filters every oil change.
Before K&N; 21.08  41 tank fillsAfter the K&N; 22.59  4 tank fills  1-3-12My gas mileage has increased since I installed the K&N; filter.  I replaced the filter the Santa Fe came with after a year.  On my 1994 Toyota Pickup the mileage went up about 1 mpg.  To prevent most people from being bored I have the specifics at the bottom of the review.I have used K&N; filters since the 1980's and I have never had any problem caused by increased engine wear or component damage. Being a mechanic I maintain my own vehicles. In 2010 I sold my 1994 Toyota Pickup that I had new since 1994 and it had a K&N; since 1995. It has over 130,000 miles on it, does not burn oil, and is still running for the third owner with the K&N; I purchased back in 1995. My 1996 Honda Civic is still running for the third owner with the K&N; I purchased as well. I will not bore you with the rest of my vehicles that used K&N; filters. Being parsimonious I thoroughly investigate products and keep my vehicles as long as possible. I get the best parts because of safety and who wants to redo because you use cheap parts?I have tracked the gas mileage on my 2011 Santa Fe since it was new.  I got the car December 10, 2010.  My average mileage before the K&N; filter was 21.08 and the last two fill ups before the K&N; I got 19.32 and 19.65 probably due to the winter gas blend.  After K&N; I got 24.72, 20.48, 21.69, and 23.46.I take the miles driven and divide by the gallons added. To date my average mileage is 21.22 and the mileage calculator the car has is 22.73.  The car's calculator is off by 6.64% and it is factory calibrated with gas without ethanol and my 2003 Corolla gets about 7.83 less mileage with ethanol so the car's calculator would be off by 1.19 if I could buy ethanol free gas using this calculation.For my ethanol info read the comment.
Bought this product so I could add some exterior lighting to my trailer. They seem like they will do the trick even though I have not had the chance to use them. Wish I could have found them in black cause then I would not have had to spray paint them.
I had read all of the other good reviews on this light and hoped that it would meet those expectations upon arrival and It did.I am impressed with the overall design and composition of the light.  The lens and housing are lightweight yet durable and made really well considering the weight of materials used.  Possesses a good quality bulb socket and switch as well.Although the light can be used for exterior applications, please note: the light fixture is not watertight.  The back panel is thin gauge sheet metal and has mounting holes drilled through it, the sheet metal is recessed ever so slightly into the fixture housing.  This allows the housing to mount tight against most surfaces.  There is a water 'seepage slot' cut into the bottom most portion of the housing if some water were to gain access into the light fixture from above.  The manner in which the clear lens snaps into the white, outer housing seems that it would readily shed water and prevent entrance in this region.I have one of mine installed in my camper shower and have nothing but praise for this light. Never had any issues.  Very nice light....super happy with it.Chris
Replaced my 2001 lights with these new ones they work good and mounted into the existing holes that were left by the old ones.  Good product and arrived just as scheduled.
Used it to replace the old light on our RV and it lights up the tongue area very nicely at night.
Thanks, just. As described and great price compared to local shops,, you have put nite lite into my dark nights,,,,,,
I recommend this. Works well.  If anything I wish I bought more.It is good to have a tube handy.
not a single leak after a full season.  Usually I get a few new cracks or leaks, but this stuff stays flexible. Nice
The product does exactly what it is designed to do...it seals fully around roof vents and other problems for our motorhome.  Easy to apply
I always buy the Dicor. I am sure there are others that are good but  I won't take that chance so I get the Dicor.It works. It flows evenly and sticks well. You need to remember that lap sealant is self leveling and can only be used on a level roof. The only drawback is the price.
Does exactly what it is suppose to. Use it on cracks in existing caulk. Stopped my antennae leak. Emergency fix till I recoat entire rook
Use with EPDM Adhesive roofing around vent flanges. Worked well but if it is cold set near heat to warm up and makes it a breeze to work with,, price locally was twice this price!!!!!!!! Thanks
neat that it aslo does tire wear, but it can range quite abit depending on what point you take the reading from or how you hold the unit.
100% absolutely love this product.  The only down side to this product is you cannot use it really well to deflate your tires that easily.  Otherwise, for it's intended use, it's amazing.  Costs a little more than your standard gauge, but this is a great 2 in 1 item!
I don't have much to compare this to but the gauge works and has been able to help me keep my tires as they should be.  Quality is good.
I just purchased a second Accutire MS-48B after losing my last one in a totaled car.  It is not the most ergonomic or sturdy gauge, but it works well and is affordable.  I like having a numeric measurement of tire tread depth rather than using a coin.  The large display makes it easy to read the results.In short, while it is not the best or heavy duty, I bought another one because it works well for the price.
The does what it says,1. Measures tire pressure. I do this every two weeks in combination with a portable air compressor while the car has been sitting for a few hours to make sure my tires are at proper pressure. I have noticed an extra half to full week of extra gas.2. Make sure the tire is safe to drive on via the tire depth tool.It has a built in battery save feature which has always worked for me.I highly recommend this product and for the price I promise you wont regret it.If this review helped you please let me know. Thanks and happy shopping.
When I opened the package, the wiring harness was gone.  A quick phone call to Amazon, and they had one on the way to me.  This thing is very easy to install, but the bolts take some finesse unless the bumper is removed.  In retrospect, removing the bumper would have been easier and probably faster, but I just used some needle nose pliers and a little patience.  It seems sturdy enough, and is rated at 3500lbs. I'll update the review if the receiver proves to not be sturdy.Better directions, or at least more forthcoming directions would have gotten this 5 stars.
I'm not a handy person... but this was ridiculously easy to install.  After reading the reviews, I decided to take the bumper off which in my case was about 8 bolts.  I used a hand torque wrench to get everything snug and put everything back together and had the wiring hooked up in about an hour.  The only mistake I made was 'installing' or rather pushing the white plugs into the frame of the Jeep to hold the wiring near the frame prematurely.  I should have lined everything up and made sure I had found all of the holes before I shoved them in.  Ended up needing to take out two of the 'plugs' and didn't know how to properly do it which led to them breaking.  I just used a couple of small zip ties to hold the wiring up and I am good to go.
This is about the 5th or 6th time I rated this as now I know how they get so many ratings. This item fits a 2009 Jk jeep perfect and the light harness works awesome to. They will run you close to a hundred bucks local so this is a great deal. No problems. Thanks Amazon. Shipping and receiving were very good with no problems.
This receiver hitch is very easy to install and is made of high quality steel. The welds are very neatly done. Installation does not require bumper removal as previous reviews stated. Wiring was easy to install as well with a nice feature to attach to the frame of my Jeep.
Simple to install if you just pull the back bumper.  Can be done without, but it was faster to pull it rather than fight with bolts in tight spots.  Holds my Allen 5 bike rack no problem.
This hitch is a complete P.O.S.  The pin box (the 2&#34; receiver box) was welded in crooked.  It was so bad, I could tell immediately with the naked eye upon test fit.  I verified how crooked the receiver was with a level.  It was off at least a 1/4&#34;.  Absolutely no excuse for this poor workmanship...even for a Chinese-made product.  Mounting a trailer to this hitch would have been unsafe.I learned my lesson.  No more will I opt for the cheapest priced item.  Rugged Ridge should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this unit to be sold with their name on it.
Installed on a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. Very easy to install.  I didn't even need the instructions! Very solid made. Would recommend.
I was looking for a simple hitch, and this was a much better price than from my dealership. Not too hard to install.
Went on fairly well, no issues at all.  Had to buy the ball mount separately and it fit just fine.
solid. well designed. easy install. plug and play was really nice. very sturdy. worked perfectly. instructions don&#8217;t tell you this, but you have to remove the rear bumper to install the receiver. only took about 30 minutes total. having a second person helped.
Fits,  bolts right up with no problems.  Wire harness is good, Price is right, Quality is great.  What more do you need.
No problems what so ever. Price is great and install is super easy. I would recommend this product to any Jeep JK owner whose Jeep is not equipped with trailer hitch.
Great deal for hitch and wiring. The hardest part was figuring out where the holes were on the body for the fasteners already on the wiring harness. Simple to install. fits perfect.
Fits perfect. Took me 30 minutes to do it by myself. Comes with easy to follow directions.  No reason to spend more. Get this one.
I just installed this today. Everything looks good and works well on my 2012 jk. The bolts are metric 8.8. That's equivalent to grade 5. The hitch fit on the crossmember easily with about an 1/8" gap. When tightened down the gap went away. The powder coat looks good.INSTALL TIPSI was able to install the hitch without removing anything by duck tapeing the washer and nut on. You need to tape 2 opposite sides of the nut and washer. I also taped the nut and washer separate. The bolt is 19mm (you'll need an open ended wrench this size or 3/4") and the nut is 18mm (you'll want a socket for that).  I put a bar over my ratchet to get the bolt torqued down real good. I would wear safety goggles and bring a small pillow to rest your head on.The wire harness is easy to install. You only need to unscrew the 2 innermost screws on the driver break light (the outside 2 just hold the light cover on). Then just wiggle it a bit and it will pop off. Put the screws back in a few turns right after removal so you dont lose them. You unplug the wire harness for the driver break light by pressing the middle "button" on the harness and wiggle. The trailer harness goes in that spot. The wire easily runs through a hole in the bottom of that cavity.  I ran the wire over the top of the frame rail and behind the body bolt. I would add a couple 14" zip ties to back up the push plugs. The push plugs attach to the wire loom with just a couple wraps of electrical tape.The whole install should take about an hour and is rather easy. Anyone can do this.
I bought my Jeep Wrangler new, but skipped on the towing package option for one reason:I knew very well that I could find a hitch and cables MUCH cheaper here on Amazon.And, I did...Rugged Ridge makes quality Jeep parts, so I do not expect this hitch to fail me in its duties.I also do not expect it to rot out over the course of a few years (if it does, I will definitely be updating this review).Anyway, this hitch and cable are painfully simple to install. *Even if one posses little mechanical know-how, it should install within an hour.*Though, if you possess so little mechanical knowledge that the thought of installing a trailer hitch frightens you,perhaps a Jeep is not the proper vehicle for you to be driving.~Rusty
Just like everyone else who has reviewed this hitch I had the same results.  My welds were all solid and overall the quality of construction was very good.  The square tube the receiver slides into was a little cockeyed.  It isn't quite square with the brackets so when the hitch is installed it is slightly rotated to the right.  With all of that said the hitch and wiring were $62 shipped, nearly half the cost of what a resse hitch alone is without the wiring.  I'm very pleased and I have no worries at all towing anything with this hitch.  If the receiver portion wasn't slightly twisted I would give it 5 stars.  The harness is good quality, the wiring is durable and thick, not flimsy harbor freight quality.  If you are doing a lot of mods on your jk and trying to stay on a budget I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this.
My husband installed the Rugged Ridge Black Receiver Hitch Kit on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport, in less than an hour all by himself.  Not only was it easy to install, but we towed a full 8'x6' trailer from Ohio to Florida and back and it did great!!
This hitch is very well made...maybe some of the older feedback got thru to someone, because the welding looks like smooth caulk and the fit is perfect. I installed it without removing the bumper, but as others have said, it's a bit tedious and difficult to get the nuts threaded, but not impossible. The wiring harness is also a snap to install. Highly recommended
I read several of the reviews and was hesitant to buy this product.  The alternatives were much more expensive, so I went ahead and ordered it.  The shipment came quickly and when I went to install it, I was unsure if I really needed to remove the rear bumper or not.When I got underneath to locate the position of the mounting holes, it was clear I needed to remove the bumper.  I have a 2012 Wrangler Sport, and you can't insert the bolts from inside out because the exhaust system is in the way.  I had to take off the bumper and put the bolts in opposite of how the instructions stated.  But the bumper is just six easy access bolts, and I got it off, the hitch installed and the bumper back on in less than 40 minutes.Wiring through the tail light was a breeze as well, nothing more than taking off the covers, disconnecting the existing wiring and making the new connections, then fish the wires through the body and out the bottom.Great product, easy installation.
Easy install and solid as a rock!  Wiring harness fit perfectly and was also an easy install.  Would recommend to anyone.
The unit we received is actually labeled as a Soliport ELM 327 Bluetooth OBDII OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner, ELM327 wireless OBD 2 Scan tool check Engine Light CAR CODE READER, not a Elandpower. I am guessing that these are "generic" devices manufactured in the same factory and just labeled with different seller's stickers.That being said, the device we received works better than I expected and performs all of the functions that the scanner should be able to do on my 2009 Chrysler Town and Country mini-van. I did not use the software on the mini-CD and could not really find anything useful on the disc. I am using the paid version of the "Torque" application for my HTC EVO (Android) and have not experienced any issues with slow response or drop-outs over Bluetooth (connection pairing code "1234").Recommended for the device functionality, but your experience may vary based on the device you actually receive and the application you choose to use as a monitor.CFH
i orderd at least 4 none worked until the final try,it works but has no intall help like others have they all had bad disc.
Sure, it lags a little bit, but that could be the adapter, the ODBII system, or the Bluetooth adapter, so I can't chalk it up to this device.Never...EVER...did I think I'd be able to 'hack' a vehicle using a laptop.Ever.
The OBDII reader works perfectly on my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Torque Free&Pro for android receiving real time updates and error code readouts without any issues(in my case PO401.) Bluetooth pairing was the same as any other device would be(pair code=1234.) The product I received is a bit different than the product photo. Although Same in size and shape, the port is reversed in relation to the LED/sticker putting the LEDs face down when plugged in. The sticker image (ie:the whole top) is also completely different. While not an issue, I feel it is worth mentioning. The only actual issue I had with this purchase was the included mini CD. It's a typical blank cd one can find in the electronic section of any store but it seems someone forgot to burn anything to it. I never planned on using the PC software anyways and now have a free blank CD to burn stuff to. :/ In all, I would recommend this product, The OBDII reader deserves 5 stars but the listing is getting 4 due to inaccurate listing and absent software.
I was so pleased to find a much lower priced and greater amount appliqu&eacute; for all the gaskets to the compound retractable hardtop of my VW Eos.  I also now apply to my other cars' general door gaskets.
Perfect size and consistency for quickly treating your car's door/window seals. Product is not too oily, unlike other multi-purpose products. I use it for both classic cars and daily drivers.
I just don't get the high ratings this product gets.  It is an expensive white, watery liquid that you rub on your car seals with its foam applicator.  I couldn't feel any difference between treated and untreated. It darkens the seals a little and makes then a little shiny looking.  Dries fast.  I'm not really sure what this stuff does.  Couldn't tell but I do know it says you have to re-apply often? I guess it does have a cool name though.--------------------------------Update 12/2013:  Foam applicator has fallen off like others have reported.  I now put the liquid on a small pad and use that to apply.  Recently used it on all the door seals of an Audi that had been badly sticking for the past few winters.  Have tried the doors in the most recent bad icy winter conditions and absolutely no sticking.  The seals feel good and seem to be resisting moisture and freezing/sticking.  I have upgraded my rating from 2 stars.
Another Einszett product that I'll always keep in the garage. Works great on all the rubber, wish I would have used it from the the day my car was new so the seals never needed to be reconditioned.
I use this on the rubber trim on my old Mercedes. I live in South Carolina, so the intense heat and constant sunlight (I don't have a garage) does a number on exterior trim pieces. This stuff makes them look and feel like new. It's amazing. I'll try to remember to upload some pictures later.
Own BMW 328i coupe(no frame window). Bought this product expecting to reduce my wind noise coming from door. This product cleaned and shined my rubber seals but did not stop windnoise.
Surely they could come up with a better applicator. Maybe something like a wedge shaped one. I have to use my finger it tight places and corners. But it does seem to rehydrate rubber and restore it's original black color. So far it's lasted a few weeks and still looks good.To bad it couldn't actually reverse the deteriorating.. Now that would be the product of the year!
I used this to restore some life on some rubber trim I had on my car.  It did a great job.  I tried it on some plastic and it didn't work as good.
Someone has finnally produced a rubber protectant with an applicator that makes sense.  I am able to quickly and easily apply the protectant to the seals of my doors and my moon roof.  Furthermore, the rubber seals maintain their new appearance.  I used this product on a friends 3-year old car seals that appeared cracked and dry due to have UV exposure and this product has brought them back to new.  The previously dry feeling rubber seals are now clean and pliable, like new.  Amazing!  What a great piece of mind that my car's rubber seals are protected from UB damage and will hopefully last longer.
This product is great, the rubber trim on my 01 Taurus had a grey look and cracks all over.After using this on the trim, it makes the cracks less visible, and restored a decent amount of the black color back to it.Overall, I'm really satisfied with the product.
This works great on the rubber trim around car door windows, but from using this after quite a few car washes, the foam applicator ripped off. No good way of putting it back on.
This is some pretty amazing stuff. After reading all the reviews, I decided to try some on the sunroof seals on my wife's Civic Si. They were looking horrible from sitting out in the South Texas sun for several years. It had cracked badly and one place and was dry and cracking pretty much everywhere else.One application made an amazing amount of difference. The seals were much more flexible and didn't look grey and dry anymore. The large crack is still there, but it's smaller and less visible.I've only had to apply twice in the last year, and the seals still look great.
This product should be sold at all auto parts stores! Very easy to apply and keeps ALL of your auto's seals lubricated and  in good condition. Doesn't leave behind any residue and therefore, will not stain clothes as some other products do.
Helps replenish seals on older cars and keeps seals on newer cars from drying out. Actually plumps seals up to reduce wind noise and prevent leaks.
My AC was barely blowing cool air, so I thought I'd give this a try before taking it to a shop.  I followed the directions that came with it, and it worked exactly as advertised.  When I hooked up the hose to the low pressure port with the Air running on max, it registered 12psi, which is low.  That fortunately told me there's no leak because the system is holding pressure.  I filled the system mid-way through the safe zone to about 35psi, and the truck is now blowing cold air.  I plan to wait a week and hook it up again just to make sure it's holding the 35 pounds.  Would definitely buy again if I need it.
Basically idiot proof. You just need to find out the correct port to fill. I don't notice it make the air colder, but I do notice it makes it faster. I knocked off one star because I think the gauge wasn't accurate. I put in 4/5 of the bottle in my car and the needle didn't move at all. I checked that it was on secure and the car was running with full blast. However, the gauge did work in another vehicle I tested. I would recommend to anyone
i just did what it says on the can, most of it went in a little leakage but whatever to tune it up yourself whatever, air is COLD now, air was cold before but after SUPER CHILL.
My daughter watched a video and put this in her truck easily.  She reported her ears were frozen after a summer of no AC today.  Had to turn down both the temp and blower.  I would say this product is a success.
Read all instructions if you're going to DIY.My 2005 BMW 325i (120k mi.) was blowing warm air on passenger side and goggle / youtube searched & decided to charge it myself.Initial reading (at 78 degree outside temperature) was at low blue level and I spent about 15-20 min to charge. It sounded like freon gas was going in for few second and stop. So I was repeating the process of release the button, shake the can for few second and push button.Problem was while I'm charging, this built-in gauge didn't work. I almost emptied the can (about 80-90%?) and it was cold inside the car. I was worried about the actual level as the gauge was still at the lower blue. So I checked the level next day after an hour of driving and it was mid blue level. I don't know if I can trust this gauge but did the job for me.I believe proper way to charge A/C is to evacuate the existing freon to release gas pressure, build-up moisture and recharge but can only be done in shops w/ proper equipments and can be costly. On the other hand, overcharging it can be even more costly.
I first bought the charging and measuring kit (hose and gauge) that screws onto134a cans and it was a total disaster as the screw on metal fitting leaked and wastedmost of the two cans of 134a I had.I went back to Oreilly's and bought this product, and it worked great.
Maybe I'm dumb, but I couldn't get this thing to work even while following the instructions to a T. I ended up taking my car to a shop to have the AC service done, which cost about as much as buying this thing did in the first place.
Takes a little effort to get the bolts out (unless you have an impact wrench, which I did not).  They are very accessible, and an impact would have certainly fit.  I used a rubber mallet and ratchet with an 18mm socket.  The install time states 15 minutes.  That must include the time to read the directions and open the box.  This is a zero effort (besides breaking the bolts loose) install.The box is solid, I am very happy with it.
Excellent lockable storage for your 2009 JK Jeep under the front driver seat. 2 bolt install, or about 10 mins. time to put in. Great product for the money and to keep things safe. Thanks Amazon.
A solid, easy to install, lock box.  Don't be fooled, easy to install with the right tools, and the bad guys won't be able to just snatch it out or pop the door open.  It's nice and easy to use and seems like it'll last.
so i bought this for my 2011 JK it does not fit like it should in my opinion yes i had to remove the bar under the seat no big deal but i had to loosin up my front to seat bolts just to slide this thing in... an im 5'8 so i ride with my seat like half way back aan this sticks out like 3.5 inches out from under my seat an i couldnt push it back anymore due to the frame part of the seat i mean i still installed it an it hold my Glock 23 perfect an theres plent of room for more stuff i almost wish it wasnt so deep my pistol slides to the back an i have to reach my hand in there to get it the drawer only opens up 1/2 way  so the other 8 inches is a mystery things could easliy turn intop a pain to get out
Real disappointment; very well made box, and I was really looking forward to having it.  However, the Amazon &#34;parts fit&#34; tab said this would fit my 2 door.  It DOESNT.  Paperwork with box even says its only for 4 door models.  Bummer.  I do see however that Bestop is now making a side opening box for the 2 doors.  Might not be as convenient, but maybe would still be worth looking in to.
Installed in a JKU 2012. Less than 20 minutes to install. Removed little bracket under seat and it silde right into place. I will remove this from JKU if I ever sell it and use it in my next Jeep. Holds more junk than I believed it would have. Only problem was the shipping box did not make the trip from intact (I live about 120 miles from shipping location), but the safe did not have any damage at all.
I originally installed a unit under the passengers seat.  I liked the unit so much that I obtained this one for the drivers seat.  It is well made and strong.  The unit also perfectly aligns with the seat mounting post on my 2012 Jeep Wrangler unlimited.I may decide to change the lock one day though.  I was surprised when I discovered that the key that I had for the first one also fit this one.  I wonder if that is the case for all of the units.  If so, then all a thief has to do is to buy one of these units and then they can start targeting Jeeps.
This lock box is just like a mini vault.  It's not going anywhere without a struggle. The way it is attached to the bolts that hold the seat in works great. Easy to install for the mechanically inclined. I added some Loctite to the threads to make it even harder to remove, I liked it so much I got one for my truck. I think it's a great idea for added security besides the trunk of a vehicle.  I carry extra keys, gas card, my pistol, which I feel is secure enough that anyone who wanted to break in the box will certainly will have to make extra effort to do so.. Will worth the money!
Check the dimensions carefully.  I bought this to store a pistol and ammo when out in the desert / woods.  Really it is too small for that. It will hold a wallet, small purse or pocket type camera but that is about it.  For example a Ruger 1911 or Glock 19 will not fit in here.On another note, the unit is a quality built item.  Good lock, good slides, carpeted, and goes right into place under the seat.So depending on what you are looking to use this for it could be a good buy, but I think for most it is too small.
fits great, sturdy. 20 minute install. seat bolts were tough to break loose
Bought this item hoping it would fit my 2011 4-door Wrangler Sahara. Other than the previously noted wiring harness bracket (removes in a couple seconds with a torx wrench) it was an easy install and looks like it could be an OE product. Very impressed.
It's Summer and time to take the top down and put the tube doors and mesh top on my 2007 Jeep Wrangler.  But all that frest air and open-air makes the Jeep tempting for opportunity thieves!  I installed a heavy steel glove box in the dash and rang across this looking for other ideas.  It took me about 30 minutes to install it (hardest part is removing the bolts in front of the driver side seat).  I suggest an impact wrench if you have one; I used an 18&#34; socket arm to get enough leverage to loosen the bolts.  Overall I like the box and the extra security to store items when I leave the Jeep in a parking lot and run inside a store for a short period of time.  I would not suggest use for areas where you will be away from the Jeep for extended time or in remote areas for long.  It's a lock box, but the more time you give a thief, the more time they will have to spend to defeat this box!There are a couple of downsides that I would like to see Bestop consider:(1) Make the box slightly wider; ther is room on the non-sloped side to add an inch or so and would give more options to what would fit in the box(2) Run the padding all the way up on the sides of the box; some items will slide around in the box and could be damaged or scratched(3) MAKE one for under the passengers side seat as well!  I know there are wires under there, but they can be moved easilyOverall, If you own a Jeep Wrangler, check the  year and make sure this box fits your Jeep.  I think you will like the unit and is pretty good quality for the money you invest.
great product.  Loosening the screws holding the seat down was the only hard part.  The easy solution is use an impact wrench and they'll come right off.
Install was super easy, two bolts and you're done. Fits nicely under the front driver seat. Did lots of looking before buying. Quality is top notch. Only complaint is that the drawer does not fully extend out to see the back part of the drawer. Not a deal breaker. Drawer is big enough for most anything and has a carpet lining. Good value for the money.
This thing is bullet proof.  I would like it to be slightly wider to hod something bigger, but real protects your valuables in a pinch.
Easily installed after the seat bolts were loosened. One key was bent, but the company immediately sent new locking mechanism w/2 keys.  It's great, out of the way, and holds my valuables. I would recommend this item for everyone...Not just gun owners...however...if concerned about width/depth...this will hold a Glock 22 w/magazine in a Blackhawk holster.
This Michelin Stealth wiper blade is a combination of classic standard metal frame and brand new flex beam wipers. It is an outstanding wiper blade.My 2002 Buick Rendezvous hated the Bosch Icon wiper blades (expensive and wore out quickly). It tolerated the Goodyear Assurance blades (good price, bad connecting clip, and wore out a bit early). Both are the flat beam one piece design, everything is in a sealed flexible bar.Michelin has come up with a blade that combines the best of both worlds. The blade itself is a standard steel frame with a high tech rubber blade. It is then covered with a flexible boot that looks like the flat beam style blades. The combination is great pressure against the window, an airfoil to press the blade down at high speed, and a boot to protect the frame from getting jammed with snow or ice.The business part of the blade is a very fine smooth rubber blade. In theory it could be replaced, but Michelin didn't put a clip on the end of the blade.Installation, well I'm not a huge fan of their clipping mechanism. Bosch actually got this way right, an easy to insert U zone and a snap cap over the connection. Most U shaped connectors have a tab inside the U to remove the blade. Michelin went with two clips at the end of the U. It will be no fun to remove these when they wear out.This is a classic great wiper blade.
I recently bought these for my wife's Honda Odyssey and they are hands down better than the Bosch Icon blades I got for my Dodge Charger.  They make great contact and are constructed well.  Installation was also easy.  If you are looking for new wiper blades and like the beam style then these will do the trick.***UPDATE***After using a while they have kind of a warm up period and don't work all that well right away.  It helps to clean them with a wet cloth occassionally.  The stock wipers were the same way.  I still think they are great in terms of contact.
I purchased a set of these for my 2013 Subie Outback...(26" Driver & 19" Passenger even though Amazon fitment said it wouldn't fit) and they fit perfectly. I've read all the reviews about the wipers not making contact with the center of the windshield but as far as my Outback goes they make full contact all the way across and are very quiet. I just got home (literally an hour ago) after driving in severe weather consisting of a mixture of ice, sleet and snow and I'm very happy with the performance. I'm not sure how long they will last but I hope to get at least a winter season out of them. In my opinion these blades might be better suited for windshields that are designed with very little curvature. I also have a 2001 Chevy Malibu and on many occasions over the years I've had to be very selective when purchasing blades because  of the inward curve of the windshield. So why only 4 stars?, don't know how long they will last. If I get a full season out of then I'll update my score.UPDATE 6/28/2013: I had to remove these wipers from my Subaru outback after a few months because they started making lots of noise while in the rain. I tried cleaning the blades multiple times and nothing worked. They continued to clean effectively but the contact noise was not tolerable. They are also slightly shorter than OEM and it was causing my Onboard Collision Avoidance System (Eyesight) to disable during rain because it would not clear lens area effectively. I re-installed the OEM wipers and all is well. From now on I'll stick to Subaru OEM wipers.
I bought a pair of these to replace a pair of Mopar Wiper Blades. I finally got tired of them , decided to switch to try another brand to try. They work perfectly; no streaking or smearing at all. They make firm contact with the windshield.When it rains it leaves my windshield spotless.These work great at removing snow as well, unlike traditional wiper blades where snow gets stuck in the frames. Let's see how it does when it snows....But  I would definitely recommend these wiper blades: So far, they are the best that I've ever used on my car. My only main concern is it's made in China usually things made there aren't of good quality from my experience. The Mopar or Motor craft wiper blades I tried before were made in the U.S. Let's see how long these will hold up....
I have used the Stealth Wiper Blades a few times now and continue to be amazed at how good they are and their long life (I always wipe of the blade when I get gas to keep it clean). What sells me on them is the aerodynamics of the blade over the competition.
Put this on my 2005 Toyota Prius and it worthless. Doesn't touch the windscreen in the center 2-3 inches. This leave a big wet streak right in your field of view. Standing still or a t highway speeds no difference.
Wal-Mart shoppers, and Hyundai or Kia owners shouldn't be reviewing these.You know what owning a Hyundai or Kia tells the world?It tells the world you know nothing about cars or how they work.I've run these on several of my cars and they perform with aplomb.
works good and will probably last ah while longer than my original set, so far so good ,until i see how long it last, for now it works fine
In my opinion these are the best windshield wipers I've bought. I replaced the ones it came with when I first bought my Explorer so until yesterday Dec 20, 2012. ( Felt the need to change wipers the day before Dec 21 2012 just in case haha. I've used them during hurricane Irene,Sandy heavy rainfall and it always worked with perfection. Not one time it did leave my windshield blurry.
This wiper did not fit a 2006 Cadillac STS even thought it says it does. The adapter did not work!
Installed on other truck and loved performance so much that I decided on these for another truck..Great design to keep snow and ice from inner works and give clean, squeak free wiping of the glass.
I like to invest in things that work well . . . and these do.  At any speed, they hug the windshield and clean it like a great squeegee held in the hand of a professional.  I do recommend them for your vehicle if you want better wipers.
These blades slipped on the wiper arms very easily, and locked into place. Used these models to replace the older Michelin type which also worked well. Will defeinitely buy from this vendor again, quick shipping too.
So far so good, quiet and wipes good although i had an original Michelin brand that has lasted two years almost and these newer ones seem cheaper in quality of plastic used. Seems kinda cheap but as long as it stays on, against window, and lasts i'll buy some more.
Saw the exact same wiper blades in Walmart a week later for $4.00 each less. Not as good as the OEM blades. Leaves streaks and lines of water as if the edges were already worn. I may have gotten used blades. Next time I will purchase locally to be sure of quality and a sealed package.
For the price these gloves are very good.Maybe ordering a size larger than you normally wear would be a good idea.
Bought these two months ago and I've driven about 2500 miles in them so far. I love 'em. The interior of my car is all black leather, so they obviously look great. The leather helps me grip the wheel easily and keeps my hands from getting all clammy/gross/sticky while I eat, drive, get gas, etc.Ventilation isn't great - so your hands do have a tendency to get warm on long trips. Stick 'em out the window once in a while and you'll be fine. I haven't had sunburn/tanlines from them yet - but I look forward to the day that I do.
These are okay for the purchase price, but you get what you pay for.  They are not that durable and they wear out rather quickly.  Heavy signs of wear after using them twice.
I fortunately read the reviews and ordered a size larger and it is still a tight fit!Leather is OK,but the seams inside are very uncomfortable.I suggest you spend another twenty dollars and get a better glove.
These are poor fitting, quality and finish but I kept these as my backup driving gloves as price is reasonable.
OK warm weather motorcycle or automobile driving gloves.  Would prefer softer leather but good value for the money.  For the cost I'd buy them again.
The price was right and it saved me a drive to the local Toyota dealer to buy this filter.  Genuine Toyota part.
changing oil filter in these new car are easier than ever.  slight learn curve the first time, but should be simple later.  the money i saved go to full synthetic oil.
I own a 2013 Camry SE. I do my own oil changes and other maintenance as much as I can to avoid going to the &#34;stealer.&#34; This filter works perfectly and changing the oil is pretty much a breeze. You will need the special wrench/ adapter.
Nice, delivery takes a while, but you save a lot of money buying them in greater quantity.  OEM filters, can't go wrong.  It is nice having them at home when I am ready to change the oil, rather than drive all over town looking for who carries a filter for my car.
An exact OEM filter for my 2011 V6 lexus RX350.Part number here is 04152-YZZA1 which appears to be the same for Toyota TRD# PTR43-00082.  Both will fit most current Lexus products (excluding the LFA?).  Toyota changed from spin-off into element type filters starting with the 2008 model year but the Lexus had these since 2000 in the RX line.  IMO, a strategy initiated to persuade owners to have maintenance done at dealerships.  That won't work with me as I have changed oil in all my vehicles for the last couple of decades.  Having worked at a high-end dealership and closely with the auto industry, I can tell you that they do oil changes as fast as your neighborhood &#34;quick-lube&#34; outlet.  Many mechanics are professional and torque bolts properly but there are also an equal amount who just don't care.Purchase your 0W20 synthetic oil from Amazon, as well as the proper filter socket and your oil change will cost you less than $50.  A huge difference from the minimum of $180 Lexus dealerships charge for the same job.  Creates enough savings to drive your wife/partner and have decent dinner w/ wine!!!!
This is the exact filter dealer change on my 2007 V6 lexus RX350.But, I don't understand when I put my model on the matching model system, it kicked me out of the match.I went back to check the invoice when I brought my car back to Lexus dealship for service. This part number match exactly. I re-type part number here 04152-YZZA1 so you can be sure it fits your lexus.It looks like AMAZON needs to do more reserch for this part so they can sale more...
works perfect on toyota highlander 2012 model good price and genuine factory item from toyota good to see pic on back of the cover its helpful
What else is there to say. Hope it holds up to holding my winch mount. We will find out. Blah
This is a great hitch pin. The clip slides through the pin more easily than the others that I have. The Rubber coating looks great. Should serve me well. Solid construction.
Any one who has a tow hitch needs a extra pin just in case. Cheep inshurance. I always keep a couple extras in my vehicle.
Does what it's suppose to do ... nice addition with the added rubber coating makes it easy to handle ... and for the price it's a steal!
It's a standard hitch pin and clip from a reputable manufacturer, and it fits well.  The vinyl-coated handle and clip are a nice touch which is easy to clean and feels nicer than a corroded "regular" pin or clip.  And the price (at the time of this review) is actually less than the non-coated version, so it seems a no-brainer.  I'm going to buy a couple more just to have them on-hand.
Very nice hitch pin and I was surprised for the money.It's a spare since people have a habit of stealing trailer balls and mounts around here.
This fits like a glove in my Curt receiver hitch. The rubber covers also aid in eliminating annoying rattles and squeaks. Well worth the money over non coated type.
Not much I can say, it's a hitch pin and clip. The rubber coating covers the parts that see the most use so it may help out with surface rust and grip.
This hitch pin is a perfect fit for a 2x2 hitch.  The coated portion helps with the grip to insert it or pull it out.
solidly built, the rubber grip makes it easy to handle, but where is the CLIP?!  Not in the package anywhere.  So not much use without the CLIP.  Giving 3 stars as with the clip it would be a great item, but not including one makes it somewhat less useful.
I give it 4 stars because it does not state for a 2&#34; hitch.  I purchased another Curt product and it was for a 1&#34; hitch and did not work for my needs.  I kept them because it was a hassle to return for the price I paid.
Not much to say here except for the money having the plasti-dipped parts is a nice plus.  I purchased as a backup to my lock set.  Used them one so far and would recommend to anyone wanting something similar.
A nice thick coating protects the end of the pin and clip. Other than that, they are just what you would expect.
So far works great. Not much to say but it holds my hitch in place and it works great at doing that it fit perfect and was here fast.
If you have a Nissan GL4 manual transmission that specifies 75/85w gear oil then this is the oil that you should use.Seems to have made the tranny shift a little better than the 75/90w royal purple that I used,especially when its cold.Safe for brass synchros, as it lacks the reactive sulfurs found in most GL-5 oils that cause damage.
I used this oil in my 2013 Elantra GT (hatchback) MT.I changed the factory OEM with this oil at 8000miles.  I must say that I can trulllllllly feel the difference in how the gears are behaving and smooth the transmission has become.  VERY VERY happy with this product.  Change your MT oil with this oil and DONT LOOK BACK.
Put this in my 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0T.  Shifter feel is much improved.  Upshifts and downshifts are much faster.  2nd gear always seemed to be hesitant to engage.  After using this fluid, it goes in MUCH easier.  Not perfect, but way better.  Car took just over 2 quarts, so I bought 3 to fill the differential as well. Haven't had a chance to fill the differential yet, but plan to soon. This is one of the best things I've done for my car!  Such an improved overall shifter feel.
I have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra with 100,000 miles. I put in MT-90 before, 30,000 miles ago, due to the fact that I couldn't get the MT-85 quick enough. The MT-90 ran great but I wanted to go to the correct weight for my vehicle. That is why I switched. I have seen the same smooth shifting that I had with the MT-90. This vehicle tends to grind when doing quick shifts from first to second and 90 removed that issue and it has not returned with the 85 either.I have noticed that the MT-85 feels different driving when compared to the MT-90. I would say smoother and less resistance/free'r spinning but I will attribute this to being all in my head.I love the redline fluids. Knowing that this is full synthetic I know it will last longer than most regular fluid out there. The added piece of mind is worth the added cost and I would put redline MTF in any future vehicles as well.
Great fluid! It's in the gearbox of my 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Big improvement over the OEM fluid! It's hard to shift on cold days until the gearbox is warmed up though. But once it is up to temperature it is a huge improvement over the stock fluid.
I recently bought a new car and have decided to use only Mobil One products meaning oil and filters in this car.  The filters came quickly and were a better price the the local brick store.
I've been using the Mobil 1 oil filters for years now. I can really tell a difference in how long my oil stays clean.
The oil is cleaner longer with these filters.  Nothing special about the exterior.  I wish it had a no slip grip exterior.I will be buying again.
I always use Mobil1 synthetic oil (0W-40) on my sedans and change the oil every 10,000 miles.  This is the Filter to match the oil.  The interior is the same as the K&N one... and cheaper!
If you want the best, this filter is among the best.  The benefit of buying it thru Amazon, is that they have it in stock.  Many stores do not carry this filter.  I certainly do not want to hunt all over town looking for this filter.
2009 Infiniti G37Doing my first synthetic oil change using the mentioned combination. Both the oil and the filter have solid testing and numbers to prove the actual benefits.I just hit the 60k marker and will post my findings in a week. Also, whilst the car is in the air, gonna drain the trans (6MT) and differential. Replacing with royal purple fluids.Reason for not using RP oil filter, not enough non biased testing to make it a sure choice. So far, all I see is a lot of sales pitches...Mobil M 1-108 is shorter then M 1-110.... I was surprised to see how small the filter is.
I prefer to use Mobil 1 products, as they are recommended by Smart for their vehicles. It's a huge benefit to see that Amazon sells them cheaper than I can find them anywhere else. Excellent product with great ratings!
This filter looked good!! So far I have nothing to complain about as I've only had it installed for roughly 300 miles. The filter does go on smooth and because of the ribbed end cap you can hand twist this filter instead of having to use a tool to tighten the filter. On a 2003 Mazda Protoge5 there is very little real estate to maneuver. Thank you
As I do my own oil changes, I wanted to reduce amount of times I have to change oil by utilizing Synthetic Oil (I go for fully synthetic Mobil1 or Pennzoil) and I am able to accomplish it in conjunction with this filter. It was great, I never had any problems, and I get extra time now to do other tasks other than doing a yet another oil change.
Best filter you can get. I love these and won't use another brand. I actually had these with the Mobil 1 oil and did run to past 7500 miles with no issues.
These worked perfectly on my bikes undertail.Thanks. I was able to get my LED blinkers to blink at a normal speed and not that hyper blink speed that looks like youhad your 4 year old nephew install them.
I installed some LED bulbs for rear tail lights, and had the hyper flash problem. Of course this makes the LED use just as much energy as the stock bulbs, but the work normal. I don't know if a LED burns out if they will tell you by hyper flashing does. They don.t install in line You must splice in to the positive with one wire and ground the other, which I did by using the screw mounts. They will get hot if used long so keep them Isolated. They have cooling fins and seem to be of good quality.
I installed an off-road bumper on my 2002 Tacoma, and with it I used LED turn signals.  The turn signals flashed very quickly because the LEDs off different resistance than the stock bulbs. Install was quick utilizing the butt-split connectors.  I attached the resisters to the truck with self-tapping screws which I provided, there was no hardware provided to attach them.
These resistors work very well and do stop the &#34;hyperflashing&#34; problem that occurs on some vehicles when LEDs are installed.  However, if you are looking for something to take advantage of the low wattage and power savings of LEDs, these are not it.  At 50w-60 Ohm, they are basically adding back the full load to the bulb thereby negating any drop in wattage and power consumption or load on the alternator.  A better alternative would be a 1W-1000 Ohm insulated resistor which would create the same effect and maintain the low wattage draw of these LEDs.  Now I just have to find them!
These were super easy to install and stopped the &#34;Hyper Flashing&#34; I got after installing LED Bulbs in my turn signal housing. Just make sure they stay away from any wires or plastic because they get pretty hot.
these had no effect and did nothing on the led lights I bought and on the one's I already had very poor product I wired them up just as the instruction's said so I had to send these and the bulbs back because they flashed to fast.
Pros:- They provided enough resistance to allow my turn signals to work with LED lights- Relatively inexpensive- Mountable- Come with wire connectorsCons:- The wires seem a little bit brittle- Cold weather seems to effect themI put LED bulbs in both the front and rear lights in my truck. The lack of resistance made it so that my brake lights didn't even work. I got the pair of these, and mounted them behind the rear taillights. They fixed my resistance issues, allowing both my turn signals and brake lights to work. The only problem, beside quality which is a little low, I have had with these is when they get cold. I find when it is about 50 degrees Fahrenheit out, they lose enough resistance that my turn signals don't work. They do fix themselves once they warm up with electricity flowing through them though. This would probably happen with all resistors this cheap.Overall, they are a decent price and they get the job done.
This item is great for cars with incandescent brake lights.  They are very high quality and should work fine to correct fast blinking light issues for normal cars.In my case I bought them for correcting fast blinking light issue on my Lotus Evora that happens after doing the popular DRL-disable hack, which involves disconnecting the main headlights from a relay circuit that controls the brake lights. The ECU is programmed to expect a certain load on the brake light circuit to determine whether or not the brake lights are out.  This value includes a default load of used by the DRLs.  By turning off disconnecting the DRLs from the brakelight circuit, the baseline has lowered and therefore the ECU thinks one of the bulbs (front or rear) have failed (when they are actually not) and increases the turn signal blink rate. (The Evora has no independent turn signal lights, it uses the brake lights).Anyway, the fix is to mock the original load, thereby correcting the current levels back within the expected threshold.While these resistors will work in eliminating the fast blinking, the draw far too much amps than actually needed.  Also, at drawing 2 amps of current they generate an amazing amount of heat, which would be okay on most cars with metal body work, but for the Evora, the delicate composite body and trim panels surrounding the heat sink can potentially warp  under prolonged heating. Also, because the DRL circuit leaves the lights on while engine is not running, more battery power will be used up than before. Lastly the excessive 2A load would negate the car's ability to actually detect a real bulb failure in the event it really happens.All that is needed is to simulate the original 3W bulb load at each brake light using a pair of 30 ohm 5W resistors.  Each of those will only draw a miniscule 250mA.Anyway, I hope this helps.
I needed a little charger to maintain a motorcycle battery and this one works great. It's automatic. It will will charge the battery and automatically switch over to maintain on it's own without having to flip any switches manually. It can also detect whether the battery is a 6 volt or 12 volt and automatically change to charge and maintain either one. I also like the connections that were included with the charger. You can put a permanent pigtail on the terminals on your motorcycle and all you have to do is hook the charger to it without having to lift the seat or remove anything to hook up to the charger. It also includes the regular alligator clip type connections if you'd rather use that type of connections.  It was also very reasonable in price. Couldn't ask for more for $19 bucks!UPDATE:I've been using this charger continuously now for almost 7 months and it's still working great.
I write this review, looking back...I am either SUPER happy with things like this!orThey just S.U.C.K.  2 Star or Lower - Good product is not expensive...This ranes true with the Schumacher brand, I have two other products that I have had for 35 years... and they Still work perfectly!I Especially like the charging wires than can switch between, Clips vs. Eyelets for a Permanent mount to my equipment. Then you only need extra Clips and then you can simply Plug in the Charger between batteries.I am going to add them to my Riding Mowers, ATV, and two Motorcycles! Then in the Winter, just rotate the charger every week to a different machine! A great product at entry level price... My Battery Tender works great for my long term storage Cars, But I may have been just as well off with out the price difference...I would rethink this if I were to do it all over again. Plus you can do 6 Volt and 12 Volt systems in one product and "GEL-Cells" too.... Better Value with out a Cool BAG!BatmanDSM
As another reviewer noted, this thing is dummy proof.  I have multiple units keeping batteries charged in seasonal use vehicles & boats.
This thing works great and must be quite simple inside of the plastic housing as the first thing you will notice is how lite the charger is .The cords are long enough for pretty much any use and the plastic housing is smaller than the picture makes it seem. It is pretty much the size of a Kleenex box if anyone is wondering as this could be a selling point for some users but I have been using to charge power wheels batteries and it is working great. I would buy again if I need a second.
Super easy to use!  I use this to keep my 2008 Harley Electra Glide's battery topped off.  It comes with a quick-disconnect harness that allows you to quickly attach the charger.
Very easy to use.  The only problem I find with it is the green &#34;Charged&#34;  indicator light  is a little weak in brightness and sometimes hard to see.  About 1/3 the price of a Battery Tender and does all of the same things.
Bought this on a recommendation from a friend to use as helmet visor cleaner/polish.  It works GREAT for this application, I just wish I could find the smaller can....
Found out about this product through amazon and it's awesome. I use all types of waxes and spray detailers. If this wasn't in a spray can it would be even better.
I will most certainly buy again, just have to run out first. This stuff is incredible at cleaning ANYTHING related with the motorcycle.
It cleans and polishes, no residue or streaking. It works well on any paint job leaving a high gloss finish which actually repels dirt. Highly recommend.
It works really well and I have used it for many years.  I use it on the plastics on my motorcycle and cant say how well it works on chrome because I do not have any!
Just wiped down my Star V1300 with this stuff. Goes on easy and comes off easy. Leaves a real nice shine and is a breeze to use. It did not let it dry and just did one section of the bike at a time. Worked flawlessly. I will keep a can of this in my saddlebag. Used a micro fiber towl to wipe it down.
When I bought my new cruiser this past year, the dealer recomended this product. I have been using it ever since on all my bikes and I love it.Safe on plastics and vynal. Cleans and leaves a showroom shine.
This is works great. I use it on the mirrors, fairings, aluminum, black plastics,my gauge cluster, and on my polished frame. It gives a brilliant shine and gives the appearance that the bike was just washed. This reminds me ofGriot's Garage 11066 Spray-On Car Wash - 1 Gallon. They both have the same smell and do almost the same thing. The only difference is the pro Honda spray is lighter and takes less effort to wipe off. The is a great product for keeping your bike nice and clean.
Don't get me wrong, I like this kit, but and it would of been nice if it came with some kind of wipes or cloths to use with the cleaning solutions. If it came with wipes then it would be a &#34;complete&#34; kit. The box states it is a TRIAL size. These are to be used for touch-ups, they are not intended to be used to clean your entire vehicle. There is probably enough of each product to be used at least 10 or more times depending on how much of each product you use.I don't see a use for this for my everyday vehicle, but it has come in handy for our street and hot rods. Our family has two antique muscle cars and 3 hot rods. A couple of the vehicles date back to 1930. We are always going to car shows and exhibitions with them. These are the perfect size to keep underneath the seats hidden away from the public eye. If you have ever been to a classic car show, you know all the men stand around buffing their vehicle all high and mighty. It does not phase them that they are cleaning the same spot for 4 hours, but all that matters it looks shiny! This kit has everything we need - all purpose cleaner to remove break dust from the rims, dashboard protector, carpet and upholstery, leather protector and window clear. The scents are wonderful, not too harsh or strong. I can not stand using Armor All because of the smell it leaves behind. However, these cleaners smell like a very light scented hand lotion or deodorizer. The window cleaner has no scent. I have attached a few pictures showing a couple of our classics cars with &#34;notes&#34; where the Eco Touch Care Care products were used.I would of given it a 5-star rating, but since it did not come with cleaning wipes or cloths I really do not consider this set to be a &#34;trial&#34; kit.
Has five components: leather cleaner, window cleaner, carpet cleaner, dash cleaner, and all-putpose cleaner.  Convenient to get all in one package.  Now to review the individual items:*all purpose--works well on all surfaces.  Cleans and shines nicely.*dash--works well and as described.  Also clean and shines well.*carpet--easy to use, removed old stains, and has a nice scent. Kind of a citrus scent.*glass cleaner-you will need a microfiber cloth to use this. I got a little microfiber handheld squeegy/cleaner from a local Dollar store and that worked great. Cleaned just as advertised. Streak free.  One of the nicest cleaners we have used on windows.*leather--this was just average.  Hard to dispense as it has to be poured. Did not like the smell AT ALL! The cleaning was quite average; Maguire works much better.So, overall, the four cleaners are a good value but the leather cleaner is something I will never use again.
Most eco friendly products seem to have some drawbacks, unpleasant smell or texture or being  very expensive. These products seem to work very well on my "new to me " SUV. There is a great windshield cleaner that you can spray on to remove those huge bugs that seem to leave an impermeable deposit on the windshield. If I am getting gas and have a particularly nasty spot, I spray with this and it disappears along with the normal grime that you can get with the sponge and squeegee.It has a dashboard protector which I found handy because this vehicle came with scratches as if a small dog was trying to get to the windshield. The scratches disappeared with just a spray and a wipe. The kit includes an all purpose cleaner which I use in the car seat, an upholstery/carpet cleaner and "surprise", a really good leather cleaner. As the owner of several saddles, I have been using leather cleaners for fifty years and this is good stuff. The seats look like new when I am done.
Eco Touch's Car Care Kit Mini Pack is true to its name. It is a "mini pack," more of a sampler than anything, that includes small (2 ounce) bottles of various cleaning fluids. There's the "All Purpose" fluid, another designed to clean the dashboard, another for the carpeting, etc. I thought each did its job well enough, and this mini-pack is perfect for anyone who wants to try it out before committing himself to a more expensive purchase.
Everything you need to give your road weary vehicle a spa treatment.  Not only was the kit very handy, it contained products that did the job. I will say it is targeted to the higher end vehicle as it has a leather treatment. Not every car owner needs this. I might like to see a version that contains a treatment for fabric seats. I also think the inclusion of a couple microfiber cloths might be handy. That way, you could store it in your vehicle and have it ready for emergency spot cleaning.
This isn't really a kit, in that there are no cloths or wipes to use when applying the various cleaning agents; rather it's a collection of cleaning agents in sample sizes.  That being said, it's actually quite handy.  I keep this in the boot of one of my cars, along with some paper and micro-fiber towels, for touch ups when I'm away from my garage.The "kit" contains an all purpose cleaner, a glass cleaner, dashboard protectorant, carpet cleaner and a leather care product.  They all work fairly well.  The glass cleaner, in particular, does a nice job; streak free with little effort.  The leather care product, however, has a very offensive smell.  Speaking of odors, most of the products are scented.  I don't care for that.  I don't want an artificial smell in my cars; I prefer the smell of the natural leather.Overall a nice handy kit to tuck into the glove box or boot.  Nothing earth shattering here in terms of performance; the Griot's or Mequiar products are as good or better, but it is compact and travels well.
The eco touch collection makes a nice interior cleanup emergency kit.The window spray works wonderfully to get interior window buildup which causes nighttime glare. It can vaporize very quickly on a hot summer day.The all purpose cleaner wasn't as effective with what I felt comfortable spraying on my center console material. The carpet and upholstery cleaner didn't appear to do much for the dirt spot on the floor either; perhaps I didn't use enough of either product, but I finished them off by my usual method.I protect my dashboard with a towel and use my horsehair brush vacuum cleaner attachment when particulates are present; it's not the type of dash that would benefit from such a treatment, so I have no use for the dashboard spray. I haven't any leather in my car to use the cream on, either.I'm not a big fan of filling my car with scents. These sprays' scents are very light and subtle, so for those who like that stuff you shouldn't be overwhelmed by them.I experienced a growing discomfort in my hand while continuing to pump the little spray jar - switching hands helps. I had to "burp" the jar too. The sprayers are reusable, so that's nice.These care products are acceptable, I'm sure, but I have my proven solutions already, and none of these items have succeeded in converting me. Having a care kit can be essential for some people, and this would be the perfect size to keep on hand.
I'm a car guy who used to own a custom detail shop and who has his cars detailed regularly.  So, I'm going to be a harsh critic of this type of product.This is not a kit that you would keep in your glovebox for quick clean-ups.  In fact, it doesn't even include any cloths.  This is really just a trial pack with 2oz of five of their products, probably intended to get you to buy larger quantities.The products are:"All Purpose" spray"Window Clear" spray"Dashboard Protect" spray"Carpet + Upholstery" spray"Leather Care" creamThey all worked OK (not great), but they are also all scented. Some are lemon-orange scented.  Others are lavender scented.  All smell pretty bad, in my opinion.  If I walked out of my detail shop after paying a few hundred bucks, and my car smelled like this, I would not be happy.My only real concern was the leather care - it seems to be very oily and not really like leatherique, saddle soap or other products I use.This stuff might be OK for 90% of people driving around in ordinary cars, but if you are someone who really pays attention to car detailing - you actually own an orbital polisher - this is probably not for you.
All of the products work great.  These are more of sample sizes, not full size.  The leather cleaner worked well too but it smells terrible.  I wouldn't buy the leather cleaner. The other products, I do recommend.
I must admit I'm really impressed.  The size is such that it fits neatly into the glove box.  I get in the car all too often look at my dash, remember I need to clean it and forget it again.  This set is great in that I can keep it in the glove box and clean it then and there.The sent of the dash cleaner is great.  Not over whelming (even when you get in the car after the car has set in the sun).  Also it lacks the chemical smells of the leading products.  Unlike other products the finish is a mat finish. For me this is great because if any accidently gets on the windows it is not a mess to clean off.  I also feel like the glossy finishes show the dust more and even tend to attract dust or show finger prints / smudges.The leather product a little goes a long way and enhances the look of the leather without a slippery residue.The carpet spot cleaner is a must for me as a coffee drinker/spiller.  In previous auto detailing packages I bought a carpet product was not included.  The sent is good and does a great job at spot lifting.the window cleaner cleans without streaking and does not have the overwhelming scent that other window cleaners have.  This lack of a chemical scent is essential for me when working in close places such as a car.What would make this kit even more effective would be an included cleaning cloth.  Since it is not there I recommend consideringZwipes Microfiber 36-Pack of Cleaning Cloths.  There are many more cloths than you would need for your car - however I have found them to be a good bulk value and I have had a set for over a year and they have worn really well.
I'm always looking for products that are better for the environment and ones that have non-chemical scents. This is especially true in the summer when a car sometimes sits in the heat for hours and anything you use for cleaning can come back to haunt you with an overwhelming smell. I found this sampler kit of products to do a decent job of cleaning and the fragrances are pleasing and not too heavy.As the description states, these are 2 oz. sample sizes, which really goes a lot further than I thought at first. These are the different items in the kit along with their scent:"All Purpose" spray - Lemon-orange scent"Window Clear" spray - Unscented"Dashboard Protect" spray - Lavender"Carpet & Upholstery" spray -Orange-grapefruit scent"Leather Care" cream - Not certain what the scent is, but it's nice!None of the fragrances are overwhelming, so even if you used them at the same time, I don't think your car would smell like a perfume counter. But I use them on different days because I like to smell each one. The handy 2 oz sizes would be great to take along on a trip. You know how easily a car's interior can get trashed when you're driving several hours a day. These are products that I enjoy using and will order the full size versions when these are empty.
I can't say this is the best product I have ever used for interiors. (That belongs to products I have used from Zaino Brothers). But these are adequate, and do seem to be less harsh than typical cleaners.I did have a problem with the bottles. Weirdly, every bottle in my kit had a "straw" for the pump that was way too long. It actually curled from the bottom of the bottle so that it was unable to pump any fluid. Not just in one or two bottles, but all of them. Not a flaw of the product itself, but a bit annoying when I was trying it out.I did not think that the cleaners worked quite as good as others I have used, especially the leather cleaner. But they did not seem very harsh at all, and using a light brush (I used a toothbrush) yielded good results.Would I use these again? Probably yes. Would I go out of my way to find them? Probably not. But they do represent a good way to keep materials clean while helping protect your interior as well as helping the environment.
This package includes five different bottles of car cleaning products; one each for leather, windows, dash, carpet/upholstery, and all purpose. One thing I noticed immediately was the pleasant smell. The dashboard cleaner works very well. It doesn't leave a shiny look, and does a great job of actually cleaning and protecting. Same goes for the leather cleaner. I've used the window cleaner the most, so I think this bottle probably needs to be a larger size or sold separately. I haven't used the all purpose bottle yet, but will try it on the wheels, as recommended by another reviewer. The small size of each bottle allows easy storage in the glove compartment or console for those quick touch-ups. Recommended.
It definitely doesn't clear it up perfectly but the chip is much less visible now. They give you quite a lot of the fluid but the entire kit is a single use item. A bit of a bummer really but it does what it says it does. Quite simple to use as well.
Fixed my windshield crack as expected.  Almost as good as a Windshield repair service and a lot cheaper.  Would recommend to anyone.  Follow the instructions very carefully and you will get a good result.
My review basically says it all. I did not have a chip, I had a spider webbing crack, about 1 inch by 1 inch. This did nothing for it.
This product is ok but to be honest it can only fix a crack maybe 1/3 of a size of a penny. I used it and it was quite useless for the crack on my windshield. I even bought two and basically you can only use it once and that is it. Then it is useless. I cannot recommend it based on my experience but if you have a tiny tiny tiny tiny crack that does not even require fixing this maybe your solution.
I had a pretty big spider web crack in my windshield from a rock. It was probably about half an inch in diameter. This repair kit made the crack much less visible/transparent, but the larger cracks are still visible.
Had a stone that deflected off the windshield and chipped the glass. If left untreated, the crack would grow and the windshield would have to be replaced. Make sure to follow the directions very carefully. Even being meticulous, I had to actually do it 2x, as the adhesive did not penetrate well on the first effort. Second time around - the adhesive finally sealed all the cracks and the windshield had held up.
The kit itself is easy enough to use, the instructions are clear but I've only had luck repairing tiny star cracks. Repair of small star cracks makes them nearly invisible but anything longer than 1/2 inch doesn't get filled well. Repair of longer (more than 1/2 inch) may stop the crack from spreading but does nothing to conseal it so the crack is still very visibe.Bottom line - don't procrastinate and use this product before the crack spreads. If you do that, this product should work well.
I used to do some windshield repair 15 years ago back in college working for a detail shop.  Same technique this product uses.  But we were able to not just fix the rock chip and prevent from spreading, but we were able to visually eliminate between 90% to 95% of the chip.  This product most likely prevents a rock chip from getting bigger, but visually, it didn't eliminate anything!  Use this to prevent from spreading but don't expect the rock chip to be diminished visually......  At All.
I read the directions and also watched the &#34;how to&#34; video on Youtube.  It was very easy to apply and it worked great.  Yes, I can still see a little of the rock chip, but I'm confident it will not crack.
Instructions were fine and it was easy enough to do. I had to do it twice though to get acceptable results. Good thing there was enough solution to do it multiple times.Posting this a few months after using it, and the windshield is still holding up fine.
It worked but it's only one time use. Fixed a small spider crack I had in my speed3. Looks a lot better.
This stuff didnt work at all. The intructions were a bit hard to understand, but once figured out, the product was a piece of garbage anyway. Didnt really make a difference, if anything made the problem worse.
Well my headlights were a gross greenish cloudy hazed color.  Used this kit and they literally almost look brand new.  Now all I use when washing my car is PlastX to give them a nice shine, and have not had any issues or cloudiness comeback.
Cool product. I used this kit to restore a yellow headlight on a 2001 Nissan Sentra and a 2003 Ford F150. It takes some time and you don't want to rush the process; but they looked good when I was done. Saved me about $200.00 from a dealer.
Do what the instructions say and you will get what you expected. The headlights look like "new". Be sure to take your time and get a stool (or bucket) to sit on. Bending over to polish the lights makes your back tired and causes you to hurry!
Worked great on my oxidized headlight. I should've recharged my drill before doing the second headlight, however. But the results are amazing!
If you want like-new headlights, order this.  So simple and easy to use--it couldn't be more clear and simple.  Remember, you do need a high-rpm house drill for this kit, or this won't work for you.By the way, this is my second kit, for what it's worth.
I've bought Craftsman's C3 XCP wireless drill (max 1600RPM) and tried this kit. This kit worked very well and my cloudy lens is restored to crystal clear. Note, however, that some swirl marks are still left is you look closer. Also, if you are not careful, you can strip the bumper paint as the masking tape can easily be torn.If you're not confident enough to use drill, let someone with skills or a shop do it for you as you can cause damage.
i was blowned away after using the 3M 39045 Headlight Renewal with Protect-ant kit as the finished product was amazing. That was 2 months ago and the buff still holds. Highly recommended.
If your headlights are yellowed, fogged, or opaque from sun damage, you're not seeing as well at night as you could be. There's a ton of kits out there to refinish headlights, and they all work the same way, by sanding off the damaged layer, and polishing the plastic underneath to a smooth surface.The bonus here is the protectant, which helps prevent the yellowing and oxidation from coming back. You do need to apply it often, once a month or so, to keep protection in place, but a good car wax will work once you run out of the packet.3M has frequent rebates on these products, so keep an eye out and give one a try. It's a small price to pay for safety on the road.
I used a single kit on the headlights of my 1998 Chrysler Town and Country and my 1996 Ford F150.  The result for both vehicles was amazing.  The polishing sequence of the pads in the kit transformed my lenses from so opaque the bulbs weren't visible to nearly new looking.  The increased nighttime visibility was truly impressive. I would not hesitate to use this product again.  I can't imagine a better DIY solution to tired headlight lenses - and it keeps stuff out of landfills by eliminating the need for replacements.
This works better than the other brand I used before. All the renewals seem to do a good job, but reoxidize w/i 6 months. After this last time, I bought kevlar headlight adhesive sheets-$30 on Amazon. These are available cut specifically to the size of headlights and driving lights of auto.
I purchased this product to restore my headlights and it did a great job.  Cheaper here than at the auto store and identical product.  Follow the directions or watch the video and you will be impressed.
Follow the instructions and your back to seeing a bright road ahead at night. They have put together the perfect combination of grit and liquid to do the job. Just keep in mind that once the factory coating has deteriorated to the point you need this lit the damage is done and you will have to redo the light regularly (Yearly) until they need replacing. I believe the Headlight are the eyes of the car the clearer they are the newer the car looks.
I get about 18 months out of these,they do work. I've had my headlights professionally done and used the 3M. This works as well as professional $50 job.
This is a nice product and did exactly as I expected it would. My lights went from yellow and dull to crystal clear. However I did not expect that it would take as much effort as it did. The light has to be sanded three different times with three different grades of sandpaper and then an additional once over with a fine sanding cream.Like I said my expectations were that it would be very quick and easy and maybe I had unrealistic expectations. The reality is it is fairly easy but takes closer to an hour to do properly. I would certainly use this product again and I would recommend it.
I used this kit to do the badly damaged lenses on a motorhome. There is enough for probably 2 more sets. It took about an hour. This is a nicely made kit of everything you need to make the worst lenses look great. You will need a drill.The things that you must remember.The drill needs to be around 1600 rpm. Less and it may take a long time. A corded one may be the best.This is not for the merely discolored but not scratched. For those an oxidation remover is better. This is for the ones where the hard coating is damaged and scratched.This will remove any UV barrier left and you can expect UV discoloration and scratching to begin showing up again in 3 months with all of these kits. The included UV protection won't do much to stop it. I suggest getting either a spray on UV cured hard coating or a aftermarket protection sheet coating to protect them. (Amazon sells them). In my case that added $40 to the cost of the job but replacement lights would be $500 for the pair!. I expect this to last for 1-3 years before needing the scratch covering replaced.
Nice system. the Drill bonnet inside the kit makes the job easier. I would highly recommend a drill system. OTW, it will take twice the time and effort. It does not get your plastic on the headlight back to 100%. I would say, 85-90%. But, noticeably improved, whiter and clearer than before. The first system lasted about 2 years without the lens UV protection application. So, this time, did it with a final UV application. It was more like a wax finish as opposed to a clear coat finish I was expecting. Nevertheless, I will see if will last longer with a final UV coat.
The instructions are very helpful and easy to use. This is a good product and lives up top the 3M name.
Maybe since I park my car inside my headlights weren't too bad, but they were getting a tiny bit frosted so I decided to head it off at the pass.  The first step with the gold sanding pad is the key to a successful outcome.  You have to sand off everything you want to get rid of in this step because the remaining steps are just to minimize then buff out those scratches.  I should have been more aggressive with the first (gold) step, but I was scared of doing something I couldn't undo.  When you start sanding and your headlight gets frosted you think that it will never be right again.  Trust me, spend some time with that first step and use all of your sanding discs to get rid of all of the haze and pits.  Then, follow the remaining steps per the directions and your headlights will be beautiful again.  Use this kit when you have some time to dedicate to it.  Pull up a chair and allow yourself at least an hour so you can slowly and thoroughly perform each step.
I was able to bring back the headlights from my wife's 2003 Corolla.  Almost brought them back to new.  It does take some time depending on how bad the headlights are.  It took me 1 hour each headlight but the headlights where very hazy.
The lights are easy to see in daytime. They seem to be well made. If anyone rear-ends my trailer it will be because they are blind.
This led light is excellent. Easy to install. I replaced the original lights in my trailer, and these lights are twice as bright.
Not near as bright as others I've seen, the original incandescent light assembly was a lot brighter.The gaskets does not fit snuggly in the hole opening allowing the light to just sit loose in it, it would eventually fall out. I was able to use my original gasket but again the brightness is the main issue, should be twice as bright.
Converting my old tandem trailer to led. They have  the same standard plug as all ovals, fit perfect, and have been running for a year with no issues
Replaced some original "light bulb" type of lights on a boat trailer with these LED's.  Very low cost, and installation was very easy.  Just get something under the round black grommet, start to pull, and it will come out of frame.  Just connect the wiring, and slide the new one with new grommet into the frame.  The light is held in place and "suspended" by the grommet.  I have not put the trailer into the water yet, but the lights look fine, and are reasonable bright.
I love this wax! It gave my car a great shine and it protects my paint from any harsh contaminates.
The liquid wax goes on easily and, after wiping with the microfiber cleaning cloth provided, leaves a nice clear shine. For me it's all about ease of use, quality, and results. Meguiar's delivers!
I love this new wax by Meguiar's. I applied this to my clayed and polished car, so just note that. It is VERY HARD to see when you apply this to your car (I have dark blue paint). It is basically clear even under my garage lights. This might make you put on more wax than is needed. After awhile, you get the hang of it though. I put this on a quarter of my car at a time, waited 4 minutes, then buffed off. After this was, my car was incredibly shiny and had rich color. This also repelled the dust and water that seems to get on my car every morning.
its an excellent wax, easy on and off, it leaves sometimes black streaks on my black car, but i learned how to do it properly the second time, is to go 1/2 panel maximum and wax off immedietly, this way i had no streaks, ok on plastic mirrors and trim, very easy to apply than paste waxes, in the commercial on you tube meguiars claim you can wax the whole car and then wax off, , i dont think so, again 1/2 a panel each time and then moving to the next is the most ideal way, for example the hood of the coupe is long, so i devided it to four sections, t,he door devided to 2 sections and so on, at the end excellent product.
I used this to wax my Jeep and it worked really well. It was very simple to apply and remove (even in direct sunlight), and left a nice rich shine on the paint. I'll definitely buy this product again.
This liquid wax is very easy to apply and even easier to remove.  It is not like paste wax that usually takes a lot of effort to remove.  It leaves a nice shine and I expect it to last about 3-4 months.  I normally renew wax every 3 months anyway, so it works out good for me.
Once I figured out how little product I should be using on the car, it was amazingly easy to apply and take off.  Like many people, I figured the more the better.  After talking to and watching the Meguiar's tech, I realized that I have been applying wax wrong all these years.  They've got some good videos on their website, so I won't waste print describing the proper way, but I will say that the haze left to dry out should be close to non-existent.  So an extremely light haze that can just be seen is just about perfect.  If you have to work to take it off, that's way too much wax applied.  It took me a long time to get away from the old paste waxes, but I won't ever go back to all that work.
I must say this wax leaves a brilliant shine.It's better to let this wax dry thoroughly before taking it off to make the job a bit easier.If it's taken off to soon it leaves streaks.Overall a good wax.All Meguiar's products are good.A few are pricey but U get a good name product.Complete Microfiber Towels Car Kit - 2 All Purpose Microfiber Towels - 1 Microfiber Towel For Streak Free Glass- For Home Or Auto - 2 Ultra Plush 16 by 24 Microfiber Auto Detailing Towels - 1 Auto Dust Pad For Home Or Auto
This wax worked out really well. When I was younger I used to only use the three step wax products. Not that I'm older and really don't have the time to wax my car three times, I wanted an all in one application solution. This product worked just as well as my former three step product. It's been six months now and the water still beads right off my car.
I received this product as a gift recently (I had posted this in my Amazon wishlist) and could not be happier. As the product states, this is their &#34;Ultimate&#34; synthetic wax. I've worked with various types of waxes and this was by far the easiest to remove. Application was no different from the carnuba style wax paste, but removal was so easy. Literally, you can apply, walk away, and come back to remove the wax.Just remember to follow the directions and don't push too hard into the paint to prevent any scratches. Meguiar's is one of the top brands for a reason, and this does not disappoint.
The key to successfully using this product is to apply it extremely thin,  applying it to thick causes streaking, and is hard to remove.  With 1 bottle and being wasteful, I can get at least 20 applications.  This equates to less then 1oz of Wax...Highly recommend this wax for anyone that keeps a car outside 24/7.  Holds up extremly well under high temperatures.
This wax can be used under full sun exposure! Meaning that if you dont have a garage to do it under, this is GREAT news!It was super easy to remove, to those people having trouble removing it, make sure it dries for atleast 10-20 mins, and use the included cloth.The smell is WAY BETTER than Meguiars NXT 2.0, and somehow it last much longer also, it has been 1 week since I fully waxed my war, and I can still smell it!Is it really any better than NXT 2.0?As far as shine goes, I felt it was the same thing. I did not have any streaks or other problems the other reviewers are having.I used my clay bar before waxing, maybe this made the difference.As far as durability goes, I have not had it for more than 1 week, so I cannot tell yet, but am confident it will be same if not better in durability.Conclusion: If you have metallic paint, I would Definitely give this a try! It is around 5 bucks pricier than NXT 2.0, for that reason I will remain using NXT unless I noticed a difference in durability.
I've used the Meguiar's Ultimate Spray Wax, Ultimate Liquid Wax and Ultimate Paste Wax and this was the worst, the other two products were great. I clayed my truck applied Meguiar's Ultimate Polish and this wax left streaks. I tried many different detailing techniques and I still noticed streaks. I decided to purchase the Ultimate Paste Wax, after hours of frustration, and it removed the streaks this left behind and it was so easy to remove with a Cobra microfiber rag. The only way this product works, without leaving streaks, is if you spray it with Ultimate Detailer or Ultimate Spray Wax afterwards. What a waste of $20 this was.Update: After posting my review above I found this wax works really well if you use a DA  buffer, I purchased the Porter Cable DA sander/buffer with Meguiar's pads. So if you don't have a good DA buffer don't bother with this one buy the Ultimate Paste Wax.
used Meguiar's ultimate polish first then the ultimate wax WOW! my factory 2002 purple harley looks better than new honest! the meguiars polish used first takes out all the really fine imperfections then the wax omg stunning! read my review for the ultimate polish cleaned my truck headlights!
Super easy to apply and remove.  Very forgiving when you get it on non painted surfaces.
As the other reviews state this really is a fantastic wax.  I haven't waxed a car in many years and was used to the goopy waxy dry cheap stuff.  This is really in a league of its own.  The wax goes on smoothly, almost kind of greasy in how easy it spreads onto your surface.  Let it dry for a few minutes then take it off with the cloth.  My car is new and it left it with a better-than-new finish after using the polish from Meguiars.Application was very easy and the included pad and cloth are very useful.  At the end my car looked great.  I'd use this polish again but am curious to see what the tech wax is like as well.
This wax is great your car's paint gets a smooth and soft finish and it also smells great nice product
I kinda like idea on Easy On, Easy Off. I even apply it on my plastic trim, rubber lining, and on my vinyl stickers. Its great and smooth to touch.
Have used this stuff for years, since it came out, and in the Florida sun, it's the only wax that holds up. Easy on Easy off.
This wax gives your paint an awesome deep gloss and is very very forgivable, unlike caranuba which gets rock hard after 3-5 minutes. Mind you caranuba gives your paint a much richer finish but I still prefer the ultimate line for general paint maintenance
Bought this to wax up the Lexus for the first time in two years...worked well and brought out a nice billiant shine.
Simply amazing product... Goes on easily, and leaves a super sleek shine that will simply satisfy your need for clean shiny paint.Wish I had found this product a long time ago.
Well, this is actually the first Wax I have ever applied. Don't have much experience to compare with. Bought it as Step 4 in complete paint care kit.For those who have Nice fresh cars (I have '08 BMW 335i, Silver) with paint in good condition I do not recommend anything except Clay Kit and Wax, you will not see any difference using all other products such as compound and polish. This wax worked good protecting my paint. I liked the result. So far so good.Recommended.
Goes on easy, wipes off easy.  I really like,this wax, Meguiar's makes good products.  It's really a five star wax, however, I gave it four because of the smell -- a Vanilla, not sure it needs to be so aromatic, but I do not like to hover over wax because of the odor.The micro fiber towel is nice, the applicator is ok.  I do highly recommend this product, even in spite of the fragrance.
This is a really amazing wax, just because, mug and water from the road rolls off over the paint with fresh water or itselves , one thing that i love it's doesnt blemish black plastics with spots and stains using regular waxes. Recomended for entusiast and proffesional care of your car !
Using this kit was a lot easier than I expected, and the results were pretty amazing. It was definitely a bit of a mess, but well worth it. I honestly think it took about as long to mask off the headlights with blue painters tape, as it took to do the headlight sanding and buffing. The sandpaper "handle" could've been better, as mine broke apart once I was done with the first sanding stage. Make sure to apply the UV protectant about once a month, or your headlight plastic will most-likely start to suffer again.EDIT 1/5/14: Since my original review, the headlights are now back to their old yellowy gross appearance. This was after methodical applications of the UV Protectant. I'd say overall, the LIKE-NEW! appearance lasted for just over two months. What a letdown.
For more then slight discoloration this kit works.There is enough product in the kit for two vehicles if youFollow the directions.
I was apprehensive in buying and trying this product.  I mean, who wants to use an abrasive product (sandpaper) on plastic headlamps?  We have a Volvo XC90 with the active xenon headlamps - replacement cost $1,000 EACH.Well - It's well worth the time and money.  The kit comes with a small 1000 and 3000 grit sanding disc.  I opted to buy some 220, 400 and 1500.  I started with the 220, very lightly wet sanding the headlamp.  Then on to the 400.  Then I used the kit's 1000, then the 1500.  I finished with the kit's 3000.  Very impressive results.I would recommend this to anyone that wants to greatly improve the appearance and the restore the transparency to damaged headlamp lenses.
This product works!  I had previously tried the Turtle Wax resoration kit and had pretty much resigned myself to buying new headlight lenses at about $100 a piece.  Then I read the reviews on this product and decided that I would give restoration one last try.  Wow!It works!  My headlights look like new!  Follow the instructions, be patient and voila!
Used it on wifey's Honda Civic Si. After an hour or so of work, looked 95% better. The lenses don't look like new, but you have to be looking closely to notice any imperfections left. All of the yellowing is gone and nearly all of the haze. Drastic improvement.I'm sure I'll have to repeat every year or so, but that's fine considering the cost replacing the lenses would be.
I love Meguairs products, but really question whoever designed this spray head.  Its like a fire extinguisher.  You can empty the can in 60 seconds.  Probably only enough to do 8-12 tires in this can.  I recommend the gel instead.  It does last a good while, even driving through several rains.
I love this stuff.  Meguiar's Endurance Tire Dressing Aerosol -15 oz is the best tire dressing on the market.  No sling off, last forever even with all our rain and looks fantastic.  Always get compliments on how clean my truck tires stay.  i use this in conjunction with Sanctiond W30016 Wheel and Tire Cleaner.  Never a complaint yet.  Two thumbs up on this one Meguire's don't ever change the endurance tire dressing.  Highly recommend this tire spray to anyone who ask.
Now this review is going to be somewhat of a contradiction between positive and negative, especially for a four star review but I will do my best to explain in detail as best as possible.Aerosol:  For an aerosol I haven't found a product that beats this.  Of course with any spray you are most likely going to get spray where you don't necessarily want it.  With that being said if precision and "endurance" is key I would recommend the gel.  I only tried these because they were on a huge clearance at my local auto store.  I've used others and the results were horrible, bad run marks even under light usage, large amounts of sling, and severe "browning" of the tires after only a few days.The shine is still unfortunately due to a silicon based product, which is never good for auto body paint.  If your main priority is paint protection then this product or any other product containing silicon is NOT for you.This product has definitely outlasted my expectations.  After week 1 the tires were still showing moderate shine even in upper midwests currently salty winter road conditions.  It also seemed to hold to the tires better in general not "slinging" all over the place like other products i've used including Meguiars.  The funny thing is if you look up the product description of Meguiars Endurance tire GEL part of it reads as followed "Saves time by eliminating all the mess common with sprays and foams. Saves money by lasting longer, requiring fewer applications". It's like they basically said, yeah, those stink. lol.. But again, for a spray, its good.Final note:  my tires did not brown with this product unlike most of the others.
it dries wet, beautifully and streak free. It sprays on more evenly as most products ive tried as well..love it.
This does last rather long. It makes the tires smell great too. Hey, don't judge! ;-) But seriously, it's a very good product and I do like using this one over the other offerings Meguiar's has for tire dressing. I use this on my Michelin PS2s on my CTS-V.
Was recommended this product based on the fact I had swirls on my car. I applied the product to the car as directed, but it was harder to take off than apply. I may have let it sit too long, but I don't know until I try it again. But it did remove my swirls and brought out the best in the paint. After adding, I just applied some quik wax and my car went back to looking fresh!
This stuff easily removes some black swirls and marks from my blue paint. It gives your paint a deep shine and reflection if you use a nice wax after this (I used meguiar's ultimate liquid wax). Just be aware that this polish does dry extremely quickly. Pull your car into the garage and let it sit until the paint is cool to the touch. I recommend doing small sections (like a quarter of the hood) at one time. Make sure you apply and then immediately buff off with a microfiber. Overall for 7 bucks, it doesn't get any better. I love the entire Meguiar's ultimate series.Just FYI I used these steps on my new carWash and dryPulled into garage to let paint cool off.Clayed the whole car (mother's clay bar kit)Ultimate PolishUltimate Liquid WaxMy car looks awesome, just took 3 hours of elbow grease.
This is a dynamite product, easy on-easy off, great results!I used it on a 14 year old Lexus with white metallic paint.  Although the car has been well cared for, it had amassed its share of swirls, light scratches and bonded contaminants.  I thought for sure I was going to have to clay it first, but as that's a step I am not fond of, I thought I would take a chance and try the polish alone,  I'm sure glad I did.I applied the polish by hand. Afterward, the car felt absolutely smooth to the touch, and many of the previously mentioned defects were either gone or faded into the background. The paint was shiny, with depth and brilliance restored.After carefully wiping off all the excess polish, I gave the paint a "quick detail" with a detailing spray to make sure all the dust was removed before waxing. I followed this with one coat of Carnauba Wax.  The result was outstanding.  I have never seen white paint give off such clarity, depth, gloss and reflectivity.  The surface of the car is now smooth to the touch and the envy of many of the mechanics over at the Lexus dealership when I went in to buy some parts yesterday.I think that the Ultimate Polish is a great product, at a very fair price.  I highly recommend it.Ps.  I did use a more slightly more aggressive pad to apply the polish.  It's called a Polishing pad  (as opposed to a finishing pad) Used with a hand held pad holder called a Polishing Pal (available on Amazon).  All work was done by hand, following Meguiar's instructions for multiple passes over each section.
I use this as the middle step between the compound and the wax, and it does great.  It's not meant to be a wax, but a very mild cutting (polishing) compound to reduce marks left by the heavier cutting compound before applying the wax.
I purchased this polish to remove swirl marks on my black 2007 Chrysler 300C. I used it with an electric buffer and a Chemical Guys BUFLC_103_8 - Lake Country Heavy Polishing Pad which I also reviewed separately.I watched a few Youtube videos to get a basic idea on how to use the product and followed the instructions on the bottle too. The product performed well, removing almost all of the swirl marks after one application. Some took a little more effort and some did not come completely out, but are barely noticeable now. I suspect I would need to use a bit more aggressive methods to get them out, but did not want to go that route.I learned quickly that the surface needs to be completely cool, which is stated on the bottle, or it can dry and be difficult to remove. I used Meguiar's X2020 Supreme Shine Microfiber Towels (reviewed separately) to remove the product and the combination worked well. When I did have smudges or dried polish I removed it with Meguiar's G14422 Ultimate Quick Detailer, which I highly recommend and have reviewed previously. A nice side benefit is the product has a nice smell so you don't have to suffer through a couple hours of dealing with a foul odor.Overall I am very pleased with how this polish performed. I can't recommend using it without an electric buffer. I just think it would be too much work to be effective and way to time consuming. It took me a good 3-4 hours even with a buffer. But I got the results I was looking for and can recommend it for anyone looking to get rid of swirls and light scratches. Anything more than that and you'd want to use a rubbing compound and different pad.
For the price it can't be beat.  I apply this product right before I apply &#34;Ultimate Liquid Wax&#34;.  I get phenomenal results every time especially using a Dual Action Polisher.This product works best when you apply it to a cool surface.
This was the final product that was recommended that I put on my clear coated wheels.  It keeps the shine.
I have a black 2013 Lexus. I refuse to take it to a car wash or use a buffer. I do not want any swirls. I do my own washing and detailing. I use ONLY Meguire products. The polish did great removing road film before I waxed it. It was hard to put on without a buffer and remove before drying. It was worth it. Great shine!!!
I used this on my dark purple harley before using the Meguiar's ultimate wax WOW ! shine on baby! used  it on my 1999 tacoma headlights rub hard and fast wipe before dry oxidation gone wax with ultimate for continued protection shhhhh don't tell anyone
This really is a great product.  I have a brand new car so there wasn't much work that needed to be done.  I just wanted to add some depth to the paint and this certainly does the trick.  It wipes on very easily and comes off just as easy.  Like the instructions say - give it only a few minutes to sink in then wipe it off with a towel.  Product is creamy white but goes on clear and almost greasy in a way like an aftershave.  Remember to wax your car immediately after using this as it only polishes you car, it doesn't protect it.
Used clay bar before applying, provided a good surface for applying wax.  Removed most of acid rain stains and improved shine.
Good stuff.  I'd say ultimate is about right.  It goes a long way and gives my car a super shine.  I really was surprised at the difference between this stuff and some of the other products out there.Since purchasing this I bought a new car that is black, and I bought the Meguiar's Black Wax, which is also great stuff.
goes on smooth and makes my car look very good. Comes off just as easy and takes very little to do car will last long time
It was fine and did the job. Manage to smooth out fine swirls but just be careful not add in new swirls.
I purchased Meguiar's Ultimate Polish to address some light swirl marks and fine scratches on my otherwise well-kept paint job. It was quite difficult to hand-buff off, even when doing so immediately after application. I think the process, both in ease and efficacy, would improve with mechanical application and buffing. I had recently clayed the vehicle so maybe the paint was just in better shape than this polish could improve.After spending quite a bit on cleaners/protectants, I came to the conclusion that if a car's paint is already in good condition (in this case a five year-old Accord), all I'm going to do from here on is wash, clay (twice per year), and apply a good synthetic polymer wax/sealant. I'll leave the multi-level regiment of glazes and polishes to those looking for show quality.I was conflicted on the three star rating. While it didn't deserve only a single star (&#34;I hate it&#34;), the &#34;I don't like it&#34; of two stars is somewhat accurate. For me to like it, it would need to accomplish something beneficial, which it did not (to my eyes). However, I think two stars implies something is still wrong with the product, which I'm not comfortable saying. So it gets an &#34;It's okay,&#34; because I think much of the experience had to do with my vehicle, and I don't want to sway someone from trying something that may in fact work for their needs.
I use this polish, followed by the Meguiar's Gold Class Clear Coat Liquid Wax. I am pleased with the polish. It did a fine job filling in the small marks and thin scratches in the paint, and after the wax, it produces a nice deep glassy color.
This product was the hardest part of my wash and wax.  It takes a lot of elbow grease to buff this stuff out and man was it a workout.I actually was relieved when I all I had to do was add a coat of wax afterward.  Wax is so much easier to apply than this.  I feel I could get a better shine from another product.
the meguiars polish is easy to use and a breeze to remove with X4014 microfibres! I apply with meguiars DA bugger
THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT..I'VE NEVER USED IT BEFORE BUT I FIND IT AN ALL AROUND SATISFACTORY PRODUCT...EASY TO APPLY, EASY TO REMOVE...JUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BEFORE YOU USE IT, NOT AFTER...
I like how easy it goes on and how quickly you can remove it.  The polish does a really good job of making that clear coat sparkly.  Remember to wash, clay bar, polish and then put on a good carnauba wax.
If you want a perfect finish use Ultimate Compound (only if needed) then this, and than a wax of your choice. This polish makes the paint look glossy and deep, I suggest applying it by DA polisher. Wort the time it takes to apply.
I have used a few Meguiar's products before and they were all great products and didn't expect anything less from this one and it did it's job. It worked great on my micro marring and swirl marks.
First let me say I polished by hand, not by machine.  This being said it worked well, removing micro scratches from the hood of my black car.  Doing this by hand is tedious and time consuming.  The finished product is however very satisfying.  Did not clay first, just washed and polished and coat of Meguiar's  carnuba wax.Remember to follow the directions, and you can't miss.
As title says, I did not see any difference even after applying for long time. It would probably work better on older paints. Meguiar should have specified in the description, that this product is not recommended for good condition surfaces.I Do not recommend this one.
This was easy to apply, easy to remove and it was noticeably bringing out the best in my paint. I have an 07 Sentra and the car pretty much shines all the time with this wax.
Great sealant (wax)! Some things to remember though:1.) I'm not sure why the description here on Amazon states that it doesn't dry white on trim because it does (the packaging even says to keep it off trim).2.) After applying, bake it on in full sun.3.) Takes about 2 days to 'cure'.4.) If you use too much on dark cars, especially black colored cars, your paint will look like someone tossed gasoline all over it until you wash it again.Happy waxing!
This is the first wax I've used on my car and it is real easy to apply and leaves a great coat of protection. This wax also smells amazing!
This wax goes on smoothly and comes off even smoother. Makes waxing your car a little bit less stressful. Best wax I have ever used.
Just got a new 2012 rav 4 and even though its a new car, used the polish after washing with meguiars gold class shampoo. It gives a nice wet look and is easy to take off, also smells great and my car is showing off more of those metallic sparkles than when I bought it off the show room brand new, great product at a great price, five stars all the way. Love all meguiars products
I really like the easy of the removal of this wax. It has a lusture after buffing. I use nothing but this now.
I use this and Turtle Wax.  I like both.  Turtle was seems to use more product each time whereas the Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax seems to need less to cover but both do a great job.
It's good for a peace of mind but I've yet to use it on really supple leather of a higher end vehicle.
I read some reviews on Amazon about this leather conditioner and decided to try it. I have 2 cars with leather seats but we have very nice leather furniture that has really lost its luster. We have tried numerious leather products that claim to bring its look back, but they work for a day and it slowly goes back to that dull look.I tried McGuires Leather conditioner on this furniture a few days ago and it has not look this nice in a long time. It brough back luster and nice satin shine and it feels really nice and soft. Unlike other leather products that smell and/or try to smell like leather this has a nice mild odor.Even If I have to fast spray on the seating areas which were the dullest parts of the furniture ever few weeks thats ok it uses very little product to do the job, but so far its holding its nice look. My wife is happy with the look of the leather again. Beats replacing the most comfortable leather sofas I ever sat on.I did the leather seats in our Ford Fusion which has really nice black leather and the old Ford Taurus which has nice tan leather and like advertised it did a wonderful job on both cars.I really trust and use McGuires car care products and I should have not been suprised it works. McGuires products always do what they claim to do.I love the fact Amazon carries the entire line of McGuires products and buy and use them weekly.
Works great to soften up & protect leather seats. Be sure to allow plenty of time for it to dry before sitting on the seats to protect your clothes from residue. At first the leather will feel greasy after applying the conditioner, but that feeling goes away once the conditioner soaks in and dries fully. Works great on leather shift knobs & steering wheels too!
I have to admit I was expecting a better product than this, being a Meguiars loyalist.  Used it as a follow up to the leather cleaner by Meguiars.  Added minimal luster to the leather and felt "drier" than it did prior to the application.  Better products out there.  Meguiars rich leather foaming conditioner is one of them.
Leather conditioner I got for my truck and car seats. Keeps them soft which will make them last a lot longer. I spray 409 on the seats to clean them then I use the leather conditioner and good as new
Apparently these are no longer in stock but I purchased this helmet directly from the manufacture.The size chart was accurate.  I first put it on and felt pressure on my upper cheeks and was worried it may be too small, but very soon it broke in nicely.  There is enough firm padding to keep the helmet feeling secure yet comfortable.Unless there is some crash testing i dont know about, no one will know how well a helmet will keep a head safe, but I feel confident enough with this full face.Visor swapping i found very difficult and would not look forward to doing again.  but no need as i like the tinted shield.  It is difficult to see out of it at night but what tinted shield wouldn't.The matte finish doesn't provide scratch protection but what matte finish does.Even with the vents full open air flow is  minimal, that REALLY could be improved for summer use.The 2 gripes are the the chinstrap, it is a double loop that is a bit tedious to use as most loops are, but if one really wants to they can add an adapter, I just may.And its rather difficult to raise the visor being there is a very small lip for this, too small, and gloves dont help.That said not sure why i dont give it the extra 5th start considering the comparative low price.I suppose cuz its not perfect.
Pro:- Super cheap- Rigid- 2 visors/screens- Aero dynamic- Not too much wind noise- Comfy helmet- DOT approved- Cool looking matte blackCons:- Not that much airflow from the top vents- Harder to install another visor (switching between tinted/transparent wind screen)- A bit heavy- A bit tight on the bottom (a bit harder to get the helmet over the head)- Not Snell approved- Heat attracting black- Visor clicks into place. Can't click it between places.- Visor handle is on the left. Sometimes opening or closing it, results in the visor to be angled (the right side clicked, but the left side of the visor still is in previous setting).- Visor fogs up a bit in chilly rainy days.Other thoughts:I wore only 3 helmets in my life. My experience with this helmet is, that it makes much less wind noise at high speeds than any other helmets I've wore before!It's also very aero dynamic; meaning this helmet does not tug on me when driving above 65. The noise levels are quite low at 70MPH, not as low as some more expensive helmets, but lower than some $120 helmets I've tried.Compared to this helmetPGR Jet Pilot Open Face Motorcycle DOT APPROVED Helmet JE02 (L, Silver), this black helmet is way better and safer; though noticeably a bit heavier too!Overall, this is a great helmet, which I would buy again for this price! I don't care much about helmets sold for $120 in the stores, they generally don't have more quality as a helmet like this one.
First of all, it is a great price point.  Second, the product arrived in half the estimated time, thanks a bunch who ever shipped it.  Third, it more than meets my expectations.  I love the matte finish as opposed to a boring and normal glossy look that scratches up all the time.  The two shields idea seems okay and all but I don't see myself changing them out.  I am fine driving with a dark screen at night no matter what the rules are.
Bought this as a backup helmet and chose it because it was so cheap. It comes with 2 visors which is nice. However, you can tell it uses cheap material in the inside cushioning. Road noise is pretty loud and it would not be my first choice for a longer road trip. Nonetheless, at the price point it is great if you just need an extra helmet.
Installed on my '13 Wrangler. Make sure you look and do a test fit before removing the film off the 3M tape. They are a very specific fit.
The product is very easy to install, seems to be high quality plastic, and looks great against my white Jeep
Very easy to install once you get the plastic paper off the tape , small knife and needle nose pliers. Nice look , very over priced for what it is. But I love the look.
I ordered these to go along with the ones I got for the headlights.  I am very pleased with the way these fit and the look they added to my 2011.  Just make sure you pay attention and istall them the right way because there is a difference in the width of the inset part.
I really like these trims for my turn signals!  My jeep is Rock Lobster Red and trimmed in black, so these really made the front end pop!  Just clean your signal area really good as directed, remove the adhesive backing and insert and press, that is all there is to it!  Great look!
I have a Jeep Wrangler and I put these on in addition to the headlight trim and some grill inserts.  gives the jeep a whole now look and keeps the look balanced.  My jeep is black and it is very subtle, but looks sharp.  my friend has the Dozer Yelow Jeep and these look awesom in Black on his rig.
Easy to install. Looks really great on the Jeep, sets it apart from others. Have had many people ask what was different about my Jeep.
These installed very easily and they look great if your looking for a quick way to add something to your jeep these are great.
Simple to install with double sided sticky tape. Both installed in minutes.Simple touch of differentiation but makes a nice change.
These look great on my rock lobster red wrangler! Really accents the front along with the matching headlight trim and mesh grill inserts. Super easy installation.
The fuels today use 10% Ethanol that burns cleaner but also absorbs moisture so if your lawn equipment sits for more than 30 days with the same fuel it will damage the components. This is cheaper than other products and it's worth the money to keep your machines works properly.
Just to be clear, this is not a stabilizer for storage, this just helps to prevent the problems associated with using Ethanol. I use it religiously in my mowers and other small engines, 2 ounces per 5 gallons of gas, and I have not had any carburetor problems since. On my car, I always, and I mean ALWAYS, had 2-3 degrees of spark knock registered by the knock sensors, it goes away when I treat the gas with this stuff.
I added a bottle of this to my daughters '94 Camry 2.2 before she took off for Memphis Feb 2nd. We live in the central Illinois. First tank out she calculated 31.8 mpg. That was an increase of 3mpg from when she drove there last June. Was it this product? Too many variables involved to say this is the secret to the Holy MPG Grail. I used it my car on 2 tanks and put it in my wife's car and saw no significant increase in performance or mileage. Long highway distance is where it will most likely make the difference. I will for sure start adding it to all my motorcycles and lawn equipment when they all go down for the winter and see how it compares to the standard Sta-bil.
Good product if you store ethanol gas in anything. Ethanol turns back into water in a few short weeks. This stuff combines with the water and allows it to burn. Great for lawn mowers, motorcycles, etc. that you store over winter.
i like the easy measure, easy pour spout. Not sure if this is as good as star tron, suppossed to be a similar formula, but not as concentrasted, so overall more expensive.
Our government has required 10% ethanol be put in our gasoline, in spite of auto manufacturers warnings that it is NOT good for some of the car parts. STA-BIL balances out the fuel perfectly for my antique auto.
I bought this devise to get more information about my car before I went to a mechanic. The price at Amazon is half what other sites charge so I felt the $75 would be saved after the first use for sure. The devise is simple, but that does not mean it is easily understood. In my case I understood nothing. So I called customer service and in about three minutes someone picked up and slowing and clearly explained everything and answered all my "dumb" questions. This devise works and the customer service is great. It gives me information and that is it. One point. When the codes come up you have to write them down and go to the web site for the explanation of the repair code. This is OK because all I wanted this devise is to tell me when something is wrong so I can deal with it.
fast shipping and at a great price. Easy to use, it will pay for itself and then some after your first use. Only wished it came with a storage case but my wife had a make-up bag she wasnt using and it fit in there perfect, I'm probable the only one that has a scan tool stored in a Coach storage bag. LOL
I've used this twice to diagnose self-repairable problems on 2002 and 2003 Honda CRVs. This scanner is more than worth the cost in time and diagnostic fees. I've only used the scan and clear functions.
Easy to use. The CD is very helpful. The software downloads just fine on my windows 7 pc. Easy to read display
The scan tool has performed as described on several different vehicles. My friends really like it too. But now that I have one, they don't need to buy one. Whatever. This scan tool has been worth every penny but it why doesn't it come with a case. Even a cheap case would have been nice. Most scan tools bang around the toolbox until its needed, right? I would have gladly paid an extra $5 or so to have the case.
This is the highest level tool for Innova's BASIC line of OBD II code readers. I used this thing almost every day at work and I have to say it's not all that great. My shop has the 3130a version and that one works quickly to read codes.This 3040 models, in my opinion, takes to long to connect to and read codes from most cars. Innova says it connect and retrieve codes from a car in 15 seconds, but it's been more like 30-40 for most of the cars I have connected it to. On cars with the new CAN system it does go a bit faster, but anything older takes closer to a minute to retrieve codes.
This cleaning cloth is generously sized 6 7/8" on one side and 5" on the other side. You get one cleaning cloth in the package. One side is terri-cloth like micro fiber, the other side is satiny cloth. It is machine washable.Toddy cleaning cloths comes in many colorful designs. The design appears only on the satiny slipery side, the micro fiber side has a solid color.I am attaching a photo collage which shows both sides, as well as in use cleaning glasses for relative size. The photo can be located by following 'customer photo' link under the main photo.I received a sample cleaning cloth from the manufacture to share my opinion with it whether positive or negative.Is it better than other less expensive micro-fiber cleaning cloth? No. But one side has a colorful print and you are paying premium price for the colorful design.Ali Julia review
One of the challenges of our new "Touchscreen Age" is the ability to remove fingerprints from all of our screens. While a couple of smudges and fingerprints are not that big of a deal - they may become a little distracting if you try to view photos or watch a movie. The Toddy Gear cloth are a fun way to clean your screens and still show a bit of style. Admittedly, not everyone is going to understand why you would need a "Designer Screen Cleaner" - but never fear... the product was not designed for them.Notes-- Is effective in cleaning touch and other smart screens. It will clean your screen without the need for water. One side is to clean your device and the other (silk) side is used to polish.- Large variety of designs to choose from- Has an antimicrobial coating- Machine washableFinal verdict - While it is bit more expensive than the typical screen cleaner the Toddy Gear Microfiber cloth is very effective and comes in a wide variety of designs. While it may not be for everyone the Toddy gear cloth is a fun way to clean your touch screens with a touch of style.4 StarsPlease Note - I received this product for reviewing purposes.
I've always been a fan of microfiber cloths for cleaning, but the Toddy takes it to a new level.  This is an ultra-microfiber that is soft, lint-free, and seemed to absorb those smudgy fingerprints on my iPad almost instantaneously.  The silk-like patterned side is rather slick so when I went to clean my iPad I simply folded it in thirds.  The pattern, which almost looks like a walkway, is set against a dark brown background.  The Toddy logo is in the upper left-hand corner.The Toddys are perfect to keep on hand to clean everything from your glasses to your computer screen.  I especially like to use this Toddy on my iPad and my glasses as those tend to need the most cleaning.  As far as cameras go, the blue mircro fiber can "camouflage" a bit of grit.  If you have an expensive camera, you may wish to haveKimwipeson hand instead.  I did however, find this Toddy especially useful for cleaning the camera itself and my numerous black battery packs which tend to be print magnets.I did wash my Toddy and dried it on low heat.  Anyone who uses a lot of microfiber cloths for cleaning will warn you not to use any fabric softeners, including dryer sheets.  The Toddy came out of the dryer as good as new and continues to clean just as nicely as it did when I removed it from its box.  It does have "antimicrobial protection to prevent the buildup of mold & mildew," but I don't think I'll have that issue because it's not necessary to use any other cleaning products such as Windex with it.  Great little accessory to have on hand and I love it.Sample provided for review.
There are two cellphones and two 7&#34; tablets in our house, and we've been cleaning them with pre-moistened B&L; Sight Savers. They work very well, but they cost about a dime apiece, and you can only clean 2-3 screens before all the alcohol has evaporated. I tried one of the Toddy Gear microfiber cloths, and I was sold. The plush side of the cloth does a fine job of removing the greasy fingerprints and dust that accumulate on a touch screen. The manufacturer says the silk side of the cloth can be used to polish a screen, but I found that it usually wasn't needed, with the microfiber side doing such a thorough job.I ran the cloth through a cold-water wash, then put it in the dryer to tumble with no heat for a half-hour, and it was good to go again.The Toddy Gear cloth is small enough to carry around with mobile devices. At 5&#34;x7&#34;, it can easily be folded and carried in any pocket. All-in-all, it's a very handy and effective accessory for any device with a touch screen.A product sample was provided by the manufacturer for review purposes.
I have a whole drawer full of microfiber cloths.  With multiple iDevices, a pair of eye glasses, and camera lenses smudged by children, I always need the ability to clean delicate glass and lenses.  This Toddy Gear cloth is one of the best things to come along in that department.  One side is a soft plush lint-free cloth, perfect for heavy cleaning of fingerprint laden tablet screens.  Those ultra-thin microfiber cloths can take forever to get off fingerprints, but the plush side of the Toddy Gear cloth cleans it right off.  The other side is silky smooth, and is good for getting your devices to a beautiful shine.  I use the silky side for my eye glasses and the plush side for my iPad.  The silkscreen is attractive and the color is quite bold.Topping it off, both pieces are well stitched together around the whole outside edge.  This is a great little cloth and a nice small gift for the iDevice lover you know.
The Toddy Gear microfiber cloth for cleaning screens is a necessary accessory for any touchscreen device to remove those annoying and unavoidable smudges that are so distracting. Now not only phones and tablets but even laptops have touch screens and short of wearing cotton gloves, there is no way to prevent a screen from smudging.I also use this cloth on my eyeglasses. There is a plush finish on one side for drying and heavier cleaning and a silky finish on the other for a final buffing which gets my eyeglasses perfectly clean and lint-free. The microfiber doesn't scratch like tissues do as they are made of wood fibers. For heavier smudges, it is helpful to use just a few drops of water. The size is just right for handheld devices and laptops.The colors are much richer in reality than they appear on my monitor and there are a lot of nice designs to choose from. These make a nice add-on to an electronic gift.A sample was provided for testing and unbiased review.
I keep it handy in my iPhone pouch so I have it at the ready for phone. IPad, and PC.  I rinse it out occasionally and it works like new.  Plus, I like the design.
I keep this in my camera bag, but I also use it on my tablet that has a glossy surface. The plush side, similar to velour, gets greasy fingerprints off the camera's LCD screen without having to use water or any type of cleaner that may harm the screen coating. The silky side is perfect for polishing the UV lens without worry of scratching it. This comes in a zip-lock-type clear vinyl storage bag. Wouldn't be without one of these! I was provided a review sample by Toddy Gear.
These harnesses are excellent quality with an injection molded end quality ring terminals....they are not some knock-off imitations.  I have a harness on my Harley but purchased the additional harnesses to add to my riding mower...I'll keep the other as a spare in case one of them gets pinched or frayed.
Just installed on my Lawn Tractors.... Seems they the materials are not Cold WEATHER friendly.Become Hard and nearly impossible to open the cover on the cord to Charge. Must be recycled Materials, not engineered as you would expect. I am beginning to experience the &#34;Made in CHINA&#34; effect of what used to be a much better product when it was Made in the USA! Looking for a better long-term product, made in the USA or Germany!
I purchased a couple of the battery tender for various atv and garden tractors we have. The are simple to install and work with both my solar charger and electric trickle chargers.
Like that they have a cover for the exposed end. Have them on all my motorcycles to keep them ready to ride in a moments notice.
Very nice harness. High quality, exactly as you would expect from Battery Tender products. Would purchase again if needed. Recommended.
I put these on all my snowmobiles and motercycles to keep the tender on them in off season.  it works flawlessly.
I have several sets of these connector now. My Riding Lawn Mower, Motorcycle, 2 Scooters and my Farm Tractor. Plug it in comeback in 24 to 48 hours and they to go are ready.
As always, anything with the name Battery Tender on it is great.  I have two on each bike I own.  Always a great product with a great name.  I would highly recommend this to anyone that needs to keep a battery charged, weather a motorcycle or an  RV.
I enjoy a easy hook for a battery , don't have to get  to post when I want to use a charger.
They aren't magical.  Wires with connectors on the end.  With the right parts you could make them yourself.  I figured the build quality of these would be higher than I could manage on my own (and likely cheaper), and I was right on both counts.
i used a few of these to add a quick connect to my atvs and lawn mower, the size of the terminal was perfect and works with my battery tender...
This should have posted the gauge for the wire which would help decide if it will work for you.  I would recommend doing more research before purchasing.
I have a number of battery maintainers and these harness work on them all.  It makes it easier to connect some of the batteries that I leave in the car or trucks that I leave outside in the winter.
Great product and does the job nicely... Well made and just right for your installations needs. I would recommend for sure...
Fits easily over the hook of my M12000 Warn winch and is nicer than the red Warn handle.
Works well, looks good, solid construction.  It has a nice solid rubber grab handle and is solidly made.  I've just left it on the winch full time and it's surviving that just fine.
This grab hook helps get my cable out with no problem.  Easier to grab and hang on to than the red strap that comes with the winch, especially when having to make long cable connections in the woods in the dark and in rough terrain.
Fills a void in the market and isn't outrageously overpriced. I use this strap with synthetic rope and it works well. If you have a nice big hook on your winch then this product isn't really necessary.I'm also not sure I would use this product with wire line. The product doesn't seem heavy enough to support much force that would probably be needed with wire line.
Quality product that fits my needs.  I use these as stabilizing handles for folks riding in the back of my 4 passenger golf cart.  I hang them from the roof support and they give a great assist getting in and out as well as stabilizing the rider.
Best step I have seen and very versitle... Solid and very rugged... I figure its great on and can help protect your vehicle from rear collision...  Giddy-Up.
Feels solid and looks like it will last a long long time. Fits a little loose but not bad. Really happy with the purchase.
I had read all of the other reviews about this step prior to purchase and expected it to meet high expectations upon arrival and it did.  I am pleased with the overall durability of the design, the composition and the welds are highly professional.  I use this as my step to gain entrance into my slide-in truck camper and there is ample room to shift both feet towards one end to accommodate opening of my door.  Also use it in my front mounted receiver when working on my truck, very nice for this...no more standing on inverted five gallon buckets.The square tubular portion that inserts into the 2&#34; hitch receiver is solid metal, not just some thin wall material.Would work well to attach a tow strap or rope to in order to extract a vehicle.  There are no sharp edges on any facet of this step so one would not have to worry about damaging tow straps.I am the type of person that complains and critiques all of the manufactured stuff on the market that cannot and will not live up to its claims.  Well, with this step I have no complaints.  I almost cannot believe that there is actually something that is made so well still available in the 21st century.Chris
Like others have mentioned it is very heavy and rugged.  It is not quiet so imposing on the back of my Jeep as others have mentioned since the rear tire still sticks out further.  If I open the tailgate it makes for a very convenient step and I am sure that it will be a great tie down spot for the things that I am always carrying on top of the jeep.  It is a little loose in the 2in receiver but everything that I put in it is also loose; something about every two inch receiver that I have had.  To keep it from moving around I attached three 1/2 in by 1 in small strips of self-sticking Velcro; one on each side except the bottom.  I adjusted the Velcro so that as the hitch is fully inserted the Velcro is just exposed so it is sort of being wedged into the receiver opening.The quality of the finish leaves some to be desired.  There was still some welding splatter on the bottom and the paint job was chipping.  But for the price that is not a distractor.  It just means that I will probably wrap it with some waterproof leather strips or something else just as cool looking.
Kind of dresses up my back bumper.  I like the "stinger" look, and it's a functional step AND a recovery point, in the center of my rig.  It also puts me at the perfect height to get items into and out of the roof rack.
This thing is heavy duty. Totally solid. I only wish it had a rougher paint job. During the winter this thing is slippery and my boots slide right off it. On the upside it sticks out a little bit more than my spare tire. Exactly what I needed.
it looks pretty heavy duty but damn when its in your hand it is heavy and super solid! kinda glossy finish but nothing a matt black coat wont fix!looks pretty sharp and be useful to access the the roof rack! wish it flipped up though! thats the only improvement i would make to it!
I bought this for my skid steer, to do some plowing in the winter.  It does not look real durable (it's just cheap plastic and the cord is a little stiff) but it works great and is very bright.  I've had other &#34;strobe&#34; styled lamps, motorized rotating lights, etc.  They seem like junk in comparison, now.  An excellent purchase for the price. Time will tell on the durability and longevity.
I purchased this a number of months ago, nearly a year ago in fact. It has gone through weekly use, hot summer and very cold winter. No problem whatsoever. The LED is the way to go versus the revolving motorized light shield of others I have had that froze or wore out. I believe you will be highly satisfied with this light.
I bought this as a gag gift for a bad golf cart driver. It actually works really well and is in regular use - not just as a gag.
Basic safety device light. Magnet is plenty strong to keep it in place. It has worked so far. They give you plenty of wire attached to it.
I just receive my order with this Blazer C48AW LED Emergency Strobe Beacon Light. I'm very pleased with this light, is working very good and have very,very strong magnet.
I've been detailing my own cars and my customer's cars for a total of 13 years; I'm a professional detailer. I'm also very obsessive compulsive when it comes to detailing, I detail with a flashlight that positions on your forehead; looks funny but helps a lot. I've been using Meguiar's professional products (Mirror Glaze) for a while and then figured I'd try this product out on my own vehicle, I always test new products on my own cars before adding to my arsenal. Black Light is a great alternative if you want to save some time by skipping the polishing process after removing all contaminants and only if your car's finish is free of defects. I rarely detail cars that are defect free, unless it's my own vehicle, so I'm still applying a compound and/or polish and after applying a sealant it leaves an extremely wet and slick appearance just like Black Light; except it takes longer. After using Black Light on my own car I didn't notice any deeper or wetter appearance, only that the surface felt really slick like I had polished and sealed my car again. I own three different brands of DA buffers, one rotary buffer, 15-20 microfiber rags from different manufacturers and shelves full of detailing products to include all different brands and types of pads and mostly Meguiar's products. Would I buy this again? Maybe for my cars to reduce the time on my vehicles since they are well maintained. My theory as to why black light is so slick is that maybe this product contains both a polish and sealant in one, remember, just a theory not a fact. You can find a link to my website on Facebook since Amazon likes to dot URLs out in reviews, search for E (and symbol) J's Detailing.
This really makes my black jeep shine. Just apply thin coat in lines not circles like wax. Wait 20 min and wipe off with a microfiber cloth. Easy on and easy off.
I have been doing auto detailing for over 10 years now and chemical guys has got me hooked! On quick details for dark cars I love using  black light. It truly brings that dark finish back out and leaves a mirror finish. Top it off with v07 and it is a great quick combo to keep a great maintained finish. This isn't intended for paint correction so I would highly recommend this if your paint  doesn't have any major scratches or swirls. If your paint needs some correcting and you want best results then you need to clay bar or use a clay mitt to remove all contaminants , compound, polish and then seal &/or wax.
I have been detailing cars for over 35 years, and have used just about ever product you can find on a store shelf. I read some reviews for this last week and decided to give it a try on my Black Cadillac. I did the entire car in less then an hour and the shine was excellent.The thing that really got my attention however was the next day it rained and my car was out in it all day at the airport. I came home and put it in the garage, the next morning it looked like someone cleaned the car, there was not a spot on it, it was actually so clean I asked my wife is she wiped it down, she laughed and asked me if I did the same to her car which is lighter in color, but I had also don't with the black light. All I can say is I am very impressed, and will continue to use this product on my cars.
I purchased this product and have used on my Porsche Cayenne Turbo (black) and my Corvette (red). Applied with high speed buffer with great results.  Really brings out the color.  Before I used a light scratch remover on my Porsche, I used the Black Light.  I was surprised that it actually filled in a lot of the swirl marks on its own.  I still applied the 2500 grit swirl removal and then went back over the entire vehicle with black light.  Does a great job.
I've had this stuff for over a year but yet to use it. After washing a vehicle, I get too lazy to finish it out with a good wax job.I finally used this the end of last year after a wash and I was really impressed at how much the car shined. Looked clean for much longer than I've ever experienced.
Just starting out in the detailing biz, or if you're an experienced detailer, buy and use this product! You can shop here and find every store bought product that you can find on the shelf at your local parts store or family shopping center, but you can't find "Chemical Guys'" product there.Checial Guys was the best find I ever made in my automotive detailing career. I only buy mostly polishes, waxes, and detailers from them, and you should too.When you want a polish that will give your car or your customer's car that brilliant shine, buy Black Light. CG's Buetter Wet Wax and Carnauba Waxes are also excellent choices, and Black Light actually enhances both of those products too.Nothing you buy off the shelf will come close to the finish Black Light will give your vehicle. Give Chemical Guys' products a try if you're serious about maintaining your vehicle's finsh and keeping your factory shine on your vehicle.
I use this product exclusively on any dark colored vehicle that I have worked on (it is also GREAT on any other color as well).  It is extremely easy to apply and just as easy to remove and it looks AMAZING!  I typically apply Black Light to the entire car, let it cure for 15 minutes to 1 hour (sometimes more, sometimes less) while I shine the tires and finish up some other odds and ends, then remove the Black Light.  I then wipe the entire car with Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 spray sealant.  The Black Light + V7 combo is a well known process in the detailing world and is hard to beat!  You will love this stuff, and it smells great too!
If you are looking at this oil, you likely own a Volksagen, Audi, Mercedes, or BMW.  German auto manufacturers are particular about their oils and Motul is certified by all of them.  Unlike American &#34;Synthetic&#34; oils, this is 100% synthetic and not a blend.  Which means better consistency and lubrication for your engine.  This was my first oil change in my recently acquired New Beetle 1.8 turbo and it has certainly brought a little extra to my bug over the previous conventional 10w-30.The price is worth it and it can safely extend your oil change intervals to 5000, and in some cases, 7500 miles.
I ordered this instead of the Mobil 1 Euro 0W40 that I had been using for a few reasons:1. recommended by various porsche mechs for lower wear/ longer engine life2. VW/Audi and porsche approvals3. prices similar4. I want the five liter package to save on packaging; one of the few better oils available this wayNice package, includes a pour spout that pulls out.
I drive my wrx in the city and also do some auto x and track days. This stuff doesn't appear to burn off between oil changes and is great for use all year around. I heard rotella T6 is cheaper and works as well but I'm an oil snob.
I used this oil in my tuned Subaru STI, and it works great.  Very little oil consumption.  I also like the extendable neck which is an integral part of this bottle.  Definitely the best oil for the money for a turbodiesel or turbocharged 4-cylinder.
I've been using this in my STi for over 4 years now... I used to use Mobile 1 and wondered why I would always pull out LESS oil than I put in... Found this on my forum and decided to try it...  Needless to say it's awesome.  Car no longer burns oil and the fact that it's a little heavier weight means when you autocross it, it's not going to be super thin and burn.  Overall I love it.I use motul in both my Daytona 675's and couldn't be happier with their products...If this is for a DD then I'd probably look at something cheaper, like the Rotella sold at costco for the same price but you get 12 quarts, actually I do believe it's 10 bucks cheaper... but for anything performance this is the way to go.-Nigel
I ran this in my Last AUDI and I just did a change in my 2003 Porsche Carrera S4. Consumption has gone down drastically and the car drives noticeably smoother. At the price you pay on Amazon, you have nothing to loose. It's worth it.
When I know I'll be off-roading on a rugged trail, I always air down my tires to give me better traction and to soften up the ride.  Well, with this little gem I no longer need to use a screwdriver and a separate tire gauge.  Just screw the business end of this ARB deflator onto your tire's valve.  Then, take the small secondary knurled knob on the back of it and push it forward while turning counter-clockwise.  That smaller knob actually unscrews your tire's internal valve stem and holds onto it, allowing for a much faster deflate.  Use the sliding collar on the deflator to periodically check your tire's pressure, and once achieved, keep the collar in the closed position and use that back knob again to re-install the valve stem.  Don't overtighten that little inner valve stem too hard, as they have tiny threads.  Remove the entire deflator and move on to the next tire.  I deflate my 33&#34; KM2's from 35psi to 18psi in less than a minute per tire.Note:  the included pouch makes great storage space for extra valve stems just in case.
Love it. I makes airing down tires easy and accurate. Give you alot of control when airing down tires. The gauge helps so you dont have to let out the air and then check it with a separate gauge.
Makes deflating tires on the trail very easy.  I like well made products that save time and this fits the bill, you can always count on ARB to make good stuff.
if you dont know what this little gizmo does ill explain.where you air up or air down your tire, there is a little bitty valve installed in that rubber valve stem.  when you have a bigger offroad mud terrain tire (i have two sets, 35'' and 37'') it takes FOREVER getting down to 15 pounds of pressure from the 30 to 35 pounds i normally run.  when i say forever i dont really mean forever, more like 3 minutes or so per tire.  that doesnt sound bad, but times that by four and you are at 12 minutes just airing down.  thats 12 minutes you could be trying to break something expensive on your offroad vehicle.this little gizmo removes that valve completely while housing it in its body.  there is a part of the body that slides back then wham-o, you are airing down with no valve in the valve stem.  you are now looking at around a minute or so per tire.4 minutes versus 12 may sound trivial, but when you are wanting to go play in your jeep, toyota, whatever and you are stuck with a tiny stick or rock you found on the ground poking at the top of the valve stem you will wish you had this guy.
I used to hate airing down my tires. Now I love airing down my tires because this makes it so fast and easy. Where have you been all my life?
This product is of high quality and a great value. The only flaw would be that you have to deflate one tire at a time. I like it and have used it many times with no issues.
I was always the last to get my tires aired down.  Now I'm fast as my friends who already have these deflators.  Easy to use and rugged.
Very fast. Air down from 35 to 18 on all four tires within 3-5 minutes, then help others who only brought a stick to the trail.-1 star because the Amazon packaging it arrived in was small and left a kink in the hose. Doesnt seem to effect performance, but still irritating on a $40 tool.Recommend Viair 85-90P as a convenient way to air back up.
A solid product from ARB that gets the job done fairly quick -- and the pouch is well-made too. To be honest, I have not tried the kind that you actually leave on the tires, so I can't compare. But this thing worked very well for my needs.
Works great! Wish i would have gotten this earlier, when i was letting air out with corner of screw driver,lol..
Love the quality here, this deflates our tires very quickly for trail use.  I'd buy this again for sure, comes with a nice bag too.
bought this to air down the tires on my Jeep. Practiced in the driveway before a trip we are taking in a couple of weeks.Easy to control the deflation. Read the instructions - makes it easier. Compact size fits easy in the Vaiair compressor bag.
This is the same as anther one on the market but I think just because it says ARB on it i'm pretty sure its made better and the other one that looks like it.
The pads for my 5" electric polisher fit perfectly. The are snug and don't slip.It takes some effort to install them, but it is worth it to get a smooth action of the polisher
Gotta admit,, this will come in handy... These are a Value type Bonnet Kit but I think they will do the job
The 6 in bonnet fits great on my turtle waxer. Make shining my Cadillac a breeze. Always nice to have a clean caddie.
Nothing special. They do the job and they last a reasonably long time.I always hate it when the shipping is more than the price of the product, but in this case it wasn't too bad at all.  For $.35 I got 4 bonnets and am still using them.  I find that they do a good job, I don't worry about scratching, and they are washable.
These are just too thin to hold much removed wax and if you're going to do the job properly, you'll find yourself changing pads a dozen times while doing the whole car.  Easier to just use some good micro-fiber towels and hand buff.
If you want bonnets with the texture of a used kitchen towel and like to add swirl/scratch to your car than this is the product for you. It is by far the worst quality I have seen, this isn't even microfiber or clear coat safe. I can find softer material to use on my car at a 99 cents store. The blue pads are seriously the same material the dentist uses as a bib for patients, it feels like a cheap plastic sheet of foam and the white buffing pads feel like a dried up used rag you would use for cleaning kitchen counters. Don't waste your money on this cheap representation, shame on you Turtlewax for allowing such garbage product to be under your name brand.
I only got to check it out a a couple seconds, when I touched it to the contacts in my truck's dome light, it was a bright clean light, definitely what I was looking for.  But when I was installing it, one of the contacts snapped off the circuit board.  The end contacts are only attached via solder connections, and it didn't take much for that to break.  Looks like I'll just get a regular incandescent bulb from an auto parts place.  Disappointed.
This bulb is brighter than others that use 9 LED's.It makes my car's interior look like daylight.Buy it if you want something bright as hell... Just don't look right into the damn thing.Oh, and the color is really good. Very nice, crisp white color. Not bluish like some other "white" LED's.
This works great as a replacement for above head dome light.  Just be aware that you may need to adjust the position if it doesn't light correctly and as it is a LED (non-incandescent) it will shorten the dimming if your car has auto dim features on the light.  The light is a cooler white and not as warm.  Great if you know what you need.
The old light would give off too much heat, causing the plastic navigation light lens to crack. So after buying a new lens, I decided to replace the bulb with LED which is about 3x as bright and barely puts off any heat, you can touch it with your finger without getting burned while it's on. VERY bright light. One note, the back of it does not light up. You get 180 degrees of illumination so if you have something that requires more than 180, get a different bulb. My nav light only needed 180 so this was perfect
Brighter than my OEM single bulb. Fit perfectly in a na miata dome light. Easy!The coaster is an odd little addon though. Got a few chuckles out of it.
Ihaven't used it yet.  I have been looking for something this size.  They don't all have these features.  I beleive it will serve my needs.
Nice little inverter. Would be great for a laptop or charging a phone. Read complaints about the loud fan but I didn't notice and I can't imagine it being that big of a deal.
Nothing exciting, but it does its job.  I think it even had a USB outlet on it.  This went in one of our service trucks.
I have had this product running in my car almost every day since March of 2012.  The fan isn't too loud.  It is the same today as it was when I bought it new.  I am in the car A LOT.  This thing is on ALL THE TIME.  I do like how I can flip the power switch and it will shut off the fan as well as the 110 outlet but will keep the USB powered.  I don't like how the USB works.  I charge my Galaxy phone and my Wilson cell phone signal booster at the same time with this inverter while I keep my laptop charging.  It does not matter what I do. I can have nothing plugged into my 110, I can have something plugged in, I can have ONLY my phone USB plugged in.  No matter what the combination I cannot charge my phone.  For example.  Last weekend I put the phone on the USB.  At the time my phone had a 100% charge. I had a 10 hour car drive.  By the time I got where I was going (the phone plugged in the entire time) I was down to 77%.  I have tried switching to the other USB and it is the same concept.  No matter what I try this is the end result.  If it wasn't for this little issue I would throw 5 stars at this thing all day!
We used it on our first road trip to PA and it worked great. At one point we used both the 110volt and usb connections without any problems. It is built tough and quiet. Has a power switch on front and indicator light. It was well worth the investment.
This little inverter packs a punch! Has plenty of power yet is small enough to use & store. The multiple outlets (AC & USB) will become very useful!!
This item worked as described but I had to send it back. However, if you need a good plug for traveling, this does it well.
It works well, and it feels solid. When you run it there's a little fan that turns on inside to keep it cool. At first I'm like &#34;aww man, now I gotta listen to that fan the whole time&#34; but now I realize that the fan keeps you from accidentally turning off the vehicle and leaving this thing on to drain the car battery...
I like this power inverter for the following reasons:- It is cheap- It has 300W of power so it should be enough to power at least two laptops in the same time.- It is quite silent- It has also USB ports integrated.In these days and ages when most people are using a Smartphone and want to be in touch all the time, having such a power inverter can be very useful if there is more than one or two people needing power at the same time. I know I need my Iphone to be plugged as often as possible if I want a simple chance to keep the battery for the whole day (which is a shame I have to say!).In my case, the Bestek dual 110V is a perfect solution.
I bought this unit as a replacement for my old direct plug in inverter.  This model is light, quiet and easily powered a couple iPhone chargers and 2 laptops while our family was taking a car trip.  Now I carry this unit on business trips to be sure I've got 110V AC or USB power when needed.  It's small, light and easy to tuck into my carry-on bag.  The cord is about 12&#34; long, so it reaches the floor for a front or rear seat power outlet.  My son loves it too!
Helpful advice, do your research before you buy. I wanted this to be able to vacuum out the car with my little mobile vacuum and I wanted to plug in my 13'' TV with a blue-ray player for trips. This does not supply enough power to do either. It works for plugging in small devices like charging electronics but it can be easily overloaded with big devices. You will need to purchase a power inverter with a larger capacity to power those other devices. I gave it 5 stars because it powers what it is suppose to power just be ware of what you want to plug in to it.
Works great from the cigarette lighter outlet to power a cell phone recharger and a 90w laptop.  small and quiet.
I bought this mainly for charging my apple laptop and it didn't work.  I never tried it for anything else so I can't comment on whether it works for other applications.  I was disappointed because I thought for sure that this one would work after trying others with lower wattages.  I ended up sending it back.
I must say that I am very happy with this purchase.  This was the perfect size to stick in my car's center console.  Unfortunately, you really should not run the inverter in a closed environment, so I did not feel great about turning it on inside the console.  What I found, is that the two USB ports charge regardless of whether the inverter is switched on or not(as long as it is plugged in, obviously).  This is great for me.  This means I can charge my phone while the unit is "off" and still have the AC power ready when needed.  I did not expect this to be the case at all and I am thrilled that it is so.  I have not tried to plug in any more power demanding electronics into this device yet, but I will report back.  I plan on updating this review as I use this inverter...UPDATE(7/20/2012):Aside from continuing to use this inverter in my car to charge my phone, I was able to make use of the A/C plug during recent power outages on the east coast.  I had already purchased the "Roadpro 12V Battery Clip-On and Cigarette Lighter Adapter" which I hooked up to a 12V tractor battery.  I plugged in this inverter and was able to power my TV and computer simultaneously making use of a power strip.  This worked for about a half hour, but I realized that I was drawing too much power from my battery and had to unplug the TV.  There is an indicator light on the unit to show if you are overworking it and the color switched from green to red.  Running the TV and computer was just too much, but after unplugging the TV, I was able to keep my computer charged until the power came back on three hours later.  I had tethered my phones internet to my computer and had power and internet the whole time and was able to use my computer normally.  I recommend only running one thing at a time off the A/C power.
I got a lower wattage unit from this same brand/company to keep in my computer bag for travel.  My dad liked it.  So I got this higher wattage version for them to keep in their van.  Can't beat the price.The fan noise isn't that annoying considering it's in a car making noise and the radio is often on.  I wouldn't use this without the car running though so that the battery wouldn't run down.
Does a good job. It doesn't charge everything that I plug in to the USB ports but I have found that it isn't the fault of the inverter.  I have a couple of older phones that require a lower amperage. I plug the older phone(s) into the AC side of the inverter and didn't have a problem so no big deal.  It is a bit noisy but most with fans are.  I don't notice it much once I start driving as the road noise drowns out any noise it may be making. I plan to purchase again for other vehicles.
works very handily for the computer, cell phones, etc. while I the car, We have had all 4 ports in use at one time and the cigarette lighter fuse did not blow.
I used to use a Dell power adapter like thisDell D09RM, 28F6C, H536T, ADP-90ND 90W Watt Auto-Air Car Automobile/Airplane Plane Travel No Brick DC Power Adapter PA For Dell Inspiron Latitude, Precision, Vostro, Studio, and XPS Systems Compatible Part Numbers: D09RM, 28F6C, H536T Dell Model Number:...to power my Dell Latitude in the car, but when I upgraded to a mobile workstation Dell Precision there was no such option for it.  Since its power supply draws about 250 watts on 110 voltage, and I didn't want to have to wire something into my cars battery, the options for power inverters were limited.  The ones that could provide enough wattage were too inefficient to work with cigarette plug and still have enough power for the laptop, and the ones that were small and efficient enough to work with the amperage constraints of the cigarette plug couldn't handle the load of my laptop.Even though this inverter has a fan that runs constantly, it is extremely efficient.  Being able to provide 300 watts at 110 volts when plugged into a standard car cigarette lighter is incredible.I highly recommend this inverter.  It is compact, well-made, and highly efficient.
I use this item to keep my power wheelchair charged while I am driving. this way I never have to worry about running my battery down
Works great in my truck so far (used it 3 times) was delivered on time and in good shape. Its nice to have a little 110v power out camping
I tried out using this tape for protecting paint edges and trim pieces when compunding and polishing paint.  It did perform as well as traditional blue painters tape for this purpose.  The down side to this tape is that if you do happen do get underneath it while using a DA polisher or Rotary, a good amount of glue will separate and stick to the paint. It also leaves residue behind that is slightly stubborn to removes.  I do not recommend this as tape for paint polishing purposes.
This is the most important thing for keeping your emblems and moldings from getting that white residue from your waxes and sealants.  This is definitely a must have for every detailer.
When I recently used a headlight restoration kit to remove the yellowish haze from the headlights on my 12-year-old Subaru, I ordered a roll of the 3M automotive masking tape to protect the paint around the headlights. The tape worked very well - it was easy to put on, it sealed tightly, and was easy to remove when the work was done. It fully met my expectations for an automotive masking tape.
The best masking tape on the market; body shops use these as well. Made in Canada. Will buy it again when it runs out.
With this tape your will get excellent surface coverage with adequate adhesion to surfaces. Do not use on recently painted surfaces like bumpers as it will lift the paint somewhat if you are not careful removing it.
We all know that one step in painting is masking off your vehicle, I used this tape for just that, and again, i've said it before and i'll say it again, it's 3m. works like a charm
A good time-saving product for those who simply want to wash the car quickly without having to apply polishes or waxes. Does not sud as well as Meguiars NXT therefore i just use less water. Effective against road grime, mud and tar. Cleans and shines all at the same time.
Mothers is one of the best soaps, sids well, and cleans great...Car looks good after a great hand wash!  A Must try for all the detailers at home...
I was looking for a good car wash that, cleaned and would leave a clean slick feel and not strip the wax or finish.  I found it.  The product cleans, easy to work with and leaves a nice slick feel.  I have used it 6 times washing light and dark colors and I look forward to washing my car more often.  Jan 10,2013:  Update - this car wash is worth every dollar, works great and I will continue using
Great for motorcycle washing with almost no spots. Use with garden sprayer and spray on the bike. Let sit for a couple of minutes and rinse. I do this 3 times and then blow dry with the yard leaf blower.Looks like a fresh wax job.Never do this when bike is hot or warm.Don't do this in the sun.Use a microfiber towel to touch-up a little.
Never had any Mother's product that didn't work to my liking except for their Reflections Spray Wax. This product has  a nice smell,  and very sudsy.  Preferred getting this at Amazon since most stores except Walmart do not carry. It is worth paying a couple dollars more for a quality product  (use on my Chevy Tahoe and Silverado). May I suggest using the Carrand 2 n 1 microfiber wash pad? I found this pad will hold more water and maintain the suds than the traditional wash mitt.
I got a really good deal a few weeks back on 3 bottles. Washing two cars each week it goes fast but I have been happy. I have a black car and paint still looks good. I do use Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax after each wash to maximize show car look.
This car shampoo smells good. The car surface feels slick after washing and will not stripe the existing wax. Highly recommended
A good quality car wash with a carnauba wax to help add some shine in between waxing applications.You need to add a little more soap as this won't suds up with minimal amount. It leaves a wax residue so you need shade or dry off quickly to minimize streaking. You will notice the difference over plain wash soap as it adds shine,a good product for everyday appearance enhancement.
The mothers gold carnauba wash and wax works decently.  It isnt overly expensive which is a plus but it will not work wonders on your vehicle's paint. It does its job by washing the dirt from the vehicle but it will not give you that show room shine.  You still have to spray wax or regular wax your vehicle if you want it to look great and feel smooth.
i love this wash and wax.  it does a great job on my truck and rv.  the shine is dazzling after i dry it off with my chamois.  great product.
Just tried this wash and I was definitely impressed. One really doesn't need a lot of this product to work very well. It leaves a spotless finish and won't strip off previous coats of wax, and leaves the car finish feeling like silken glass; smells good too.  Used to be a staunch Meguires man, but I would definitely recommend this wash to everyone.
Works great in the driveway (about. 25 miles from stations). Haven't been able to try on a trip yet, but no reason to believe it won't work well. Pretty easy install, too.
A good guide to helping find a signal.  Helps eliminate all the trial and error time it used to take to find a TV signal.  I installed it using a 'Y' for the 12 volt power to I would still have the cigarette power outlet to power the TV and also power the meter.  It took about hour to install.  You will have to cut a new hole in the wall for this unit in order to keep the signal booster and power outlet,  They don't tell you this in the instructions
Arrived quickly. Great price. Bulb intensity is slightly off side to side but not bad. Easy to install. The OEM fog lights' lenses had fallen out. These are identical replacements.
My fog lights have been dead for several years because of the same thing that has happened to the OEM fog lights on nearly every other GM truck of similar vintage, the lenses fell off at some point.  At the auto parts store I was quoted $100-$150, which seemed kind of steep until they told me that price was EACH!Being a cheap SOB I wasn't paying that for something I didn't NEED.  Then the other day while looking for license plate light bulbs I stumbled across these fog lights for $40 each.  Much better!  So I ordered them, but I worried that they would be poorly made etc.First off, that troublesome lens.  The new foglight lenses are marked as DOT approved and the new design incorproates a tab on either side that mechanically holds the lens in place along with the adhesive bond. Not an equal design, it's BETTER than OEM.  the molding of the housing looks identical in material, weight, and shape.  Perfect!  Just because I'm nuts like this I added a bit of &#34;shoe goo&#34; around the lens as a bit of extra insurance against lost lenses.The lights came securely packaged but it was all easy to open.  the lenses had a protective sheet on them that can be removed after installation to protect from scratches.  Shipping was fast.
This is third set of these fog lights, these seem better made than last set purchased on Amazon. The last set only lasted about 1.5 years. The problem I have had was water getting inside light housing and burning out bulbs. I hope these last longer than last set.
The first thing i notice was that there wasn't a seal around the lens to the housing and that let water into the housing after the first rain storm.The second problem was that the left one developed a crack in the lens and there is no visible signs of impact.The third thing was that the lights shake when going over bumps and that is do to lite and weak plastic.The fourth thing is the bulbs are not halogen and produce a yellow light instead of white.I ended up buying another lamp from another company and that's why i can compare the quality of both lamps.I of course have installed these lights to find all of the imperfections and can not return them so i am out of $50 bucks.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( BUYER BEWARE )!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are cheaper than the OEM. They vibrate a little more than OEM. They fit in the same place as the OEM, plug right up. They do the job when you are on a dark road. Not perfect - thus the 4 stars. Adequate - yes, they are.
I LIKE THIS FOG LIGHTS... ESCALADE  LOOKS  NICE AGAIN... I REPLACE THEM AFTER I LOST THE FRONT GLASS OUT OF BOTH OEMS...
a power jack for the trailer is a great way to level the trailer without wearing yourself out! it makes camping that much more enjoyable
Replaced my dead jack that came on my Keystone Laredo. This jack seems to be better quality than the LCI jack that came with my camper. My camper is 35 ft  long and this jack moves it up and down with ease. Also is more quiet to when operating.
Used only a few times so far but it seems to have sufficient power.  Would I buy it again?  YES.
This jack is an excellent addition and makes hook up and take offmuch easier.  It works smoothly and has an override crank in caseof power failure.  It also has a light switch and small but powerfulleds to light the area at night.  Easy to install and electrify.
Hate cranking that RV hitch?  I was! Easy install, 20 min, lifts my 32' Keystone Cougar with easy... Perfect as well to hook up that distribution hitch.  This unit has no problem lifting truck bed and trailer together...latch your sway bars and lower truck and trailer and your done!
With my weight distrobution hitch system I have to raise and lower the tongue on my travel trailer a couple of times to get it properly hooked up. I also wanted a jack that would have no problem raising the rear of my truck for the WD hookup too. So I was trying to buy on the HD side and I think I accomplished it with this hitch.No more hand cranking the tongue up and down, no more tired arms, no more bending over at the waist straining a bad back. I don't even have to be the one hitching it up now! My wife can hitch up with this jack. We just walk up and push a button while the the other one watches for the trailer to come level or the ball to clear or the truck to rise enough. Simple. Saves time too because we get things done much quicker.It was an added bonus that I found the foot is adjustable for about six inches which also allows me to get my trailer level in my sloped driveway without having to use multiple blocks unter the it. Sweet!I've only had it out a couple of times and used it several times in the driveway when doing maintenance so the verdict is not out just yet. In a year I will gladly raise my standing to five stars but for now it gets a big thumbs up but four stars until we work it some more.
Cannot say enough good things about this.  Was installed on a 35&#34; Keystone Passport.  WHAT a DIFFERENCE!  Easy to install Although I can't understand why the CB isn't pre wired?.  3 - 9/16 bolts and one wire, took about 20 minutes start to finish.  Electrical connectors DO NOT come with it you'll need 2 - 10/12 GA butt connectors (for the CB) and a 10/12 Ga battery connector (Usually the 10-12 Ga connectors have the yellow sleeves) (plus a set of wire cutters, a stripper and a crimper)
Nice look and works well in drive way. Hope to try soon in real world trials!Cam with level to attach to jack but without any way to attach!
I was able to install this with 30min.  The install instructions were right on.  I used this to lift and lower the tongue of 4400lb trailer.  Where it really paid of was when hooking up my weight distribution/sway bars.  It requires you to go down and then way up. No more constant cranking.Did not use the LED lights since I used it during the daylight hours.  They don't seem real bright but something is better than nothing.  I connected to the battery located on the tongue versus using the tow vehicle connection.  Just seemed to make more sense.
Had to replace the old power jack and ordered this one!  Very impressed with the nice solid mount...works great.  I also like the hook on the back to hang your trailer plug when not in use.
This is one of those things you never want to spend money on until you need it.  This won't fix a sidewall tear but it will do just about any puncture.
For a comparison between this kit and the Power Tank kit (which I would recommend over this ARB kit) see the Power Tank KIT-8133 page.This ARB kit is SOLID. Each tool is incredibly high quality, including the valve core tool and the tire gauge. Even the allen wrenches are high quality. These tools could stand daily abuse in a tire shop, it seems.The only complaint is that the kit is relatively simple and doesn't include many accessories. I'm not entirely sure what the black tubes that it comes with are, but they are very cheap looking plastic and don't seem very functional.The only downside (and what looses 1 star) is that the blow molded case is WAY to big. It is gigantic compared to the tools it contains. This whole kit should be at least 1/3 the size. The fact that it is this big now means that I can't find any appropriate space/room for it in my Wrangler JK. It sticks out like a sore thumb and storage space in a Jeep is at a premium to begin with.If you're the casual 5-10 time/year user or less, then go with the Power Tank kit. It will suit you much better (it also has more accessories) because it is much smaller and lighter. If you're a heavy 1/week user, then buy ARB. You won't regret either decision, though.
I tried an alternative but this kit appears well made.  I did purchase some liquid rubber and gizzed up the plug a little before I installed it.  Has not leaked at all since installation.  Not cheap but this is a good kit and I would recommend it!
I have a car that used to have run flats and wanted to add a plugging kit to my compressor I keep in the trunk.  I didn't want to rely on a $5 kit if I ever need to use it - which I haven't.  So I purchased this hoping it was well made.  It is.  The handles are all metal and big enough you can put a reasonable sized hand on them.  The cleaner piece is smoother than I expected but maybe that is a good thing.  There is a decent little container of lub and a BUNCH of plugs.  The case is way more than what I want to carry so I put the two handles, lube, kit of other things (a nice adder, it has parts for the valve stem and other things) and 5 plugs into my air compressor case.  My only complaints are that it is a lot more than the cheaper kits and the case could be a lot more compact.  I think those things are minor - me being picky.  If you want a robust kit, I think this is it.
I received this tire repair kit as a gift for my birthday.  I do some off roading on occasion with my truck and punctures are unfortunately common.  I not only hate the inconvenience of having a flat, but hate worse the charge and wait part of taking it to a service station to get fixed.  In the past I have owned other repair kits, but admittedly they have been cheap ones.  Too often they have broken on me, gotten twisted, or just were difficult to use.  This ARB tire seal set is top quality all the way.  It may be more expensive than most, but this is certainly one of those times that you really do get what you pay for.  The tools are heavy and very rugged, and the accessories make a joke of what I have in the cheaper set I own. I punctured and old tire I had on a rim in a couple of places and used this set to patch it with excellent results.  It was easy, fast, and the tire has been holding air solidly since then.  Lets face it, when you have a flat its always a pain in the rump and a total inconvenience.  This set can repair a tire in no time and be permanent.  The tools are top quality and you can buy replacement seals right here on Amazon.  Absolutely the best, and highly recommended...: )
Haven't had a chance to use these yet but they look very well made, much better than your typical automotive store crap
I have purchased those cheap kits for tire repair and they are just to flimsy and wanted something stout enough to last and I found it with this kit. Not cheap but very very sturdy and you don't have to worry about bending the tips. This should last a life time and all you will need to but are replacement plugs. Very pleased with the construction.
After getting a big nail in my tire of my truck, I tried using my tire plug kit that I had from our car..... fortunately when the handle broke it did not go through my hand.... so a coworker had a kit similar to this (same kit, but a red case) and for the act of having to plug a tire, it was a pleasure to use. As soon as I got home, I ordered this kit.Since then I have had to use it twice... once on my truck and once as a favor to a neighbor. The handles are great as they are big, beefy, and unlike the other local auto store kits, you will not injure yourself.The only problem that I have had with my truck is the composition of the tires... they are thick. With that, the reamer that is included works well, but what I use instead is a drill with a drillbit to ream out the hold. On a car tire, that is not necessary, but on a truck (I have a Toyota Tundra) it just makes the job easier.Besides that, it is a great kit and I take it everywhere I go. My dad also needed a kit and I sent one to him as a gift--- he has used it twice and he also believes it is one of the best kits he has ever owned.

Mainly have these on the front for looks right now. Have not had to use the shackles yet, but they are definitely built well. These have a suprising amount of weight to them. Very solid.
I inspected all of these I ordered after reading some other reviews, but have no issues with any of them.  The red paint chipped off so if style & color are important to you, look elsewhere.
Heavy duty d-rings ! look good also. Red paint on the pin helps to find it if you drop it in leaves or deep grass.
Of course the red paint chips off like cheap nail polish, but these things are solid. I haven't used them for a full capacity test yet, but even with a snatch block, I couldn't put these things to a max weight capacity test!
Shopped around for a bit and found that this was the cheapest 3/4&#34; shackle that I could find. Says &#34;made in USA&#34;.  The picture actually shows that the red color is all effed up ... don't really care about the color.  I would have rather bought an all black one, but they were way more expensive.
Yep, it works good. Be sure you put it where you want it the first time, because it stick real good!!!
Asphaultic smell to it.  Stunk up the car a lot.  Also rather thin so not optimal for coverage.  Spend the extra money on Stinger's roadkill product - has zero smell , is much thicker, and doesn't cost that much more.  Anyone who's done these installs knows the pain is getting your innards out to access the sheet metal.  Why go through that and install something substandard.  Only points would be to have this applied to somewhere ventilated, like outside of the interior of a car or industrial use.Edit:  This started falling off some panels during winter, with temps routinely in the 30s.  I have to lower the rating another notch.  Junky!
this product works well. it is almost identical to dynamat extreme, yet is less expensive. the only diffrence being the aluminum is slightly thinner, but is still great quality. after much research i cant find what the adhesive is, but it is almost certainly a high percent butyl. the odor from it is so so faint its negligable. so its a great alternative to the name brands. will purchase more. and in fact it lays and rolls down better than dynamat. only took away a star because 3 dollars a square foot is still high for what it is.
Great product--easy to install
I used dynomat on the doors but was looking for something different for the floors and for the money this stuff was hands down the best bet. Free shipping and nearly 20% less than the online autostores made this a no brainer. Very good stuff, you won't be dissapointed.
I bought this to replace a missing one in the back of my wife's car.  It seems to be more sturdy than most included jacks.  Happy.
This is just what I was looking for and a Great price, thank you.  Will be using for back up on my little RV.  That little more insurance having this item takes a bit of stress out of different unexpected situations.Received before promised date and packaged well.
Fits into spare tire space for 2003 Hyundai Elantra. Is beefier than the factory jack. Comes with the tool to raise and lower it.
My husband's 97 Cherokee came with no jack, so I saw this on Amazon for less than $20.  It comes with the crank handle, which isn't mentioned in the Amazon ad.  Both pieces fit under his back seat.  He tested it on the Jeep and it worked just fine.
This worked well to change out 2 tires on my 2013 veloster. As other reviews stated there arent those teeth that normally hold the car in place. But they dont seem t be needed the car did mive at all and i have no doubt this will worknwell with future needs
Although made in China this jack seems to be sturdy enough. I tried it and it seemed to work fine jacking the car up but was sticky when lowering the car. The saddle (square on top of the jack) is flat and does not have the teeth that most jacks I've used have which grips onto the bottom of the car better. It also comes with a short shaft to insert into the jack. I suggest greasing the threads so they move easier. For the price you can't beat it but if you own a shop where it would get a lot of use I suggest buying something else.
This is one the simple and inexpensive ways to upgrade your car, no matter how old or new. It is surprising how something simple like this can actually make a difference in the way your wheel looks, whether you have alloy wheels or steel wheels with hubcaps. I have these valve caps on both my Honda and my VW (VW valve caps on that one). They add a really nice custom touch and look a lot better than the black rubber valve caps, which seem to break or fall off. The bonus key chain is very cool too!
I was really surprised by these valve caps. They are a high quality valve cap that looks nice with my alloy wheals.
Nice and good looking, beware of the small screws that are supposed to be 'theft' proofing these valve caps. After the initial 'delight' wears out then you realize the PITA you have to live with. Firstly, filling air is a pain as you need to meddle with a super tiny allen key to remove the anti-theft screws. Good luck if managed to keep them safely. 2 of mine already rolled off on the black tarmac. Secondly, servicing at dealership or other 3rd party places, they will rip these off and even cause damage to the valves. My dealer luckily did not do any air pressure check / refill and just politely asked me to remove these. 3rdly already showing signs of corrosion. I doubt if these would last through the winter in snow and salt. Again, a cool thing to start with, but it wears off quickly.
Nice little caps. They really stand out and make wheels look finished even if they are oem wheels. The wrench that is include is nice so they can be torqued past the point that someone can remove them by hand. I had no problems with the install, however one of my valve stems seemed stripped when threading this on, but it turned out to just be a bit of residual plastic from the old caps. Overall its a great deal.
These caps are well made and they make my rims look better too by dressing up a plain black plastic cap with these chrome and black finished caps.Comes with a key ring too, priced  under 10.00 bucks for both, Thats hard to beat!
I must admit I haven't installed these yet. Ohio weather, too cold, old man, I'll wait for the warmth of Spring. With that out of the way these look and feel great. Clearly they're no light weight plastic. Although I haven't even opened the clear plastic baggie I'm basing this on sight and feel, but there's even a small Allen wrench, I assume to lock  the valve cover.
These are a lot larger/heavier than I expected--which is a plus. The three triangles and cyase weigh a total of approximately ten pounds. They set up easily and seem like they would hold up well on a highway. Definitely a good value and a good item to have in case of a vehicle break down.
Safer and easy to use compared to road flares and they are reusable too. The quality is what you'd expect from any auto parts/accessories store so if you cant find them where you are and are thinking of these for your car for that 'just in case' scenario, buy em.
First off, there's no getting around it, these things are LARGE and HEAVY. But, this is one of those cases in which that's an excellent thing.Still haven't used them in real life, though I did take them out and figure out how to assemble them. Easy enough.They have this odd wire-like piece that's clearly supposed to attach somewhere when the triangles are set up, but I can't figure it out. Luckily this doesn't seem to be critical to its stability.
These things don't seem too strong.  I snapped a couple together and they seem like they'll break without much force.  However, they're heavy and don't seem like they'd get blown over on the side of the road.I put them in a dark room and shined a flashlight on them, but they didn't seem to reflect much.  So I bought a roll of white reflective tape and added small strips to each one.  Once it gets warmer I plan on setting up a couple in the driveway and using car headlights to see how they look from 50 feet away.I will echo what others are saying about the storage box... it's complete junk.  I bought 2 sets of these and the clasps on one box was already broken.  However, I just put a bungee cord around each box and that should hold them well enough.Overall, great price on a sturdy set.
But it looks like it is made very well.  It keep it in a rear storage compartment of my RV.  I hope that I never have to use it.
I need to start with, it work as it should be,  but if you have a big battery or more than just one ( for your SUV / truck )  you better have it placed in sunny spot coz it would take a lot of sun to get the job done.
I love these units I bought 2 of them and use them daily in order to maintain my battery and when I am in the field it works great, I can leave the doors open and play the stereo with no issues.
I purchased a Deltran Battery Tender JR 5 years ago as well as a motorcycle battery. Both the battery tender and the battery are still going strong 5 years later, this is not a typo! Yes, I said 5 years! Anyone who owns a motorcycle (especially a Harley) knows that you typically replace batteries every 2 years. Because of the performance of my battery tender Jr I decided to pick up this Deltran Solar Panel. I recently had to move my bike to a garage with no electricity and had to install the solar panel on the outside of the garage fully exposed to the elements. I've only had it about 2 months but I must say that this solar panel has performed above expectations. We have had some of the craziest weather on record in New Jersey. Warm days, cold days, heavy rains, 50 mph winds, 3 and 4 days at a time without sunlight. Yeah, Mother Nature has been sending us all kinds of craziness. So today I decided to go to my garage and see what kind of mess this solar panel was in. At the very least I expected to find the panel damaged by all the rain we've had. To my amazement it was working perfectly! It was 2 in the afternoon and cloudy due to all the rain and the solar panel LED was green indicating a fully charged battery. The panel has not been hit with any sunlight for 2 days yet it has been able to fully maintain my 5 year old battery. Another great product by Deltran.UPDATE 3/28/2013: Here we are over a year after purchasing this Solar Panel and it continues to work great.  It has been through some of the worst storms on record here in the East Coast without sustaining damage. My "very old" motorcycle battery continues to be maintained. The bike started easily even after 6 months of sitting in storage.
I wanted to use it for a vehicle that is stored in my garage, the light blinks that shows it is charging but when I put a meter to test it shows no voltage. It claims it needs good direct sunlight but you would think in Arizona that would be good but I guess not. I will be returning it back to the company and may try another one and hope it works.**UPDATE, after talking with a company rep it is now working perfect.There was a problem with the leads and this was resolved and works great. Even when the sun is going down it stills shows that it is charging in low sunlight.  The company has good customer support thanks again.
Very simple and easy to use. Put it on your dashboard and leave in the sun. Be sure to buy the car adapter accessory: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CJ927I/ref=oh_details_o06_s01_i00 So that you can easily plug it in inside the car.My only complaint is that there is no carrying case for this, I don't like to "throw" it in the trunk and break the glass.
Got this to keep my truck battery topped off when at the airport.  Works with even clouds or a dreary day.
Got this to keep my lawn mower maintained.  I keep it outside most the year, and was surprised to read that this product is NOT intended for outdoor use.  Called the company and they explained this product is designed to be used inside a vehicle.  Kind of defeats the purpose of this product.
These are good for changing small appliances like a lawn mower or snow blower. Would recommend to others, the price is pretty good and there are rubber backings on the inside.
I needed various spark plug sockets for both my trimmer and lawn mower; set is high quality and the rubber insert stays tucked in after each removal and installation.
I like these alot.  I've only used a few times so far since I got them.  But they have been very good to me.I do suggest that you get yourself something like this one &#34;Great Neck OEM 25292 27-Inch Magnetic Claw Pickup Tool&#34;  just in case it does happen to slip off or something.  Last time I used them the little rubber grip stayed on the new plugs that I installed and there is almost no way to get them out with any regular tool or thin pliers.  So my Claw sprang in to action and it worked really good and got the rubber grip off the new plugs and kept working....LOL.  The rubber grip probably slipped off cause I was using a lot of dielectric grease when installing the new plugs.  So I'm not worried about that too much especially cause I had a way of getting them out.Set wise I think there is a six piece set out there but this 5 piece set should have you covered for most vehicle applications out there.  Even the 5 piece is hard to come by, most sets out there are 3 or 4  piece.  So just get this one and the Claws. hahaha
I bought this set mainly for the 18mm plug socket since it was only slightly more than a single 18mm from elsewhere and came with all the other sizes too. Unfortunately, the 18mm socket won't grip a spark plug at all. The rubber insert's hole is just too big. I can't speak for the other sizes since I haven't used them yet, but I was disappointed that the 18mm won't hold a plug. Might try to wedge something in there to try to take up space. The set overall does feel solid and I'm sure they'll all last a very long time.
Even had the tiny one for those little plugs not even napa stocks that come on some trimmers.  comes on a rail and as such does not migrate all over your tool drawer.
My first time changing spark plugs, and it took only minutes.  These spark plug sockets performed just as described.  No issues grabbing the spark plug, whatsoever.  Very happy to put these in my tool collection.
These sockets are excellent, but I give 4 out of 5 stars because the product packaging is horrible.Sockets usually come with a plastic plug in the base of them that holds them to the packaging. In most of my experience, this plug is made with fins, so to speak, that will pop out of the socket as you wiggle the socket (or the plug) off of the packaging.These sockets had solid plugs in the bottom. Wiggling the sockets usually ended up in breaking the packaging right at the point where the plug left the socket base, leaving a plastic plug in the bottom of the socket and nothing to grab it with. But, these are spark plug sockets, with a rubber protector on the inside that has a very small whole. So not many things can be used from inside the socket to punch out the plug. I ended up putting a long nail down the socket and punching out the packaging with a hammer.It turns out I did not need these, and would love to return them; but I can't because I tore the packaging to shreds, and threw it away... whoops.
I've used the 5/8&#34; socket to change the spark plugs on my truck and twice on my wife's SUV. During the last spark plug change on her car, the rubber insert which grabs hold of the spark plug came out of the socket and stayed with the spark plug. I didn't notice until trying to reseat the plug boot and it wouldn't fully seat. All worked out fine in the end, but a slight hassle nonetheless.Anyway, I found another 5/8&#34; spark plug socket in another socket kit I had.
Had to break down and get some new sparkplug sockets. mine were ragged out missing the sleeves, time to give away & start fresh again. saw this nice set & price was good. real nice sockets if your looking for replacements, covers the bases.
These guys go right to the point. they are strong for their job, they are reliable, and they handle sparkplugs delicately. enough said
I just put on the wipers, and after two weeks (and two rains) notice that they do wipe as effectively as my Rain-X.  Fit was good, easy installation, appears to be well made.Pros:-Sturdy-Little to no streakingCons:-None yet (two weeks of usage)
It is easy to underestimate the importance of good wipers. Ineffective wipers are a hazard and an annoyance.  This is a solid wiper that installs with relative ease. It works well in both heavy rain and that annoying smudge your windshield lighter precipitation. The windshield was clean, smudge and smear free. It doesn't whistle or stick or lift. Only time will tell how durable it is but overall, I am satisfied with this product.
When it came time to install this wiper, my husband and I were ready to come outside and I stopped to put on a sweatshirt. In that minute-long gap, my husband had the old wiper blade off and the new one, so needless to say, install was a snap.These wipers provide a really smooth wiping action with light to moderate rainfall (I haven't hit a bucketfuls of rain scenario yet) and are quite effective at cleaning with the automatic windshield cleaner.The only issue -- and it is a minor one -- is that in the lower right hand corner of the passenger side of the car (where this was installed) the wiper leaves a small sliver of area that it doesn't cover which is peculiar given the smooth arc it creates on the rest of its path.All and all those, this wiper works well (I don't rely on the corner while driving) and the all-in-one profile is sleek!
Works great so far on my SUV. I have not yet had a chance to try it in the snowy sub-zero temperatures that are, for me, the true test of a good wiper blade.  However, in the rain it has offered a squeegee clean visibility.  It also removes some gruesome smashed bugs without the nasty smear...will update after some extended use.  But right out of the box, it works well!
I put this wiper blade on a small sports car with a decently curved windshield (Audi TT).  So far, the wiper has been on the car 1 week & has gone through 80+ degree weather, rain, sleet & snow.  It is exposed to the elements during the day, but is garaged at night.So far, so good, but I can't tell the "superiority" of this ANCO blade over and ACDelco blade that is on another car.  In fact, the brand new ANCO blade on my other car started streaking within 4 days under the same weather conditions. The only difference was that the other car is kept outside all of the time, so was exposed to freezing temperatures & more weather at night.On the Audi, the ANCO blade seems to grip the windshield and it clears well in rain & slushy snow (2 days of rain, 1 day of slushy snow).  However, given the quick failure of the ANCO wiper blade on my other car, I cannot recommend this wiper blade, especially if your car is an outside car.
This all season wiper is supposed to be able to resist corrosion and freezing.  The main thing is that the blade makes perfect contact with the windshield.
I was soooo....happy to see these here on Vine. I had a set on my conversion van and sold it and just had another brand of wipers on the car. I love these. The contour of them make them hug the windshield and keep it crystal clear with just one pass. I also noticed that when it was an icy windshield these didn't freeze to the window like most do. It was almost as if they had their own little antifreeze coating. I live in Iowa and even today we are getting another 8 inches of heavy wet snow and it's nice to know that these wipers will handle the load. I had them on the van for about 2 years and they still worked like the day I put them on. Can't wait to get them on the car...
In my area we have a high degree of temperature change and seasonal weather. Heavy ice under snow is not uncommon in the winter and cold damp nights with high daytime temps during the summer months is the norm. Windshield wipers take a real beating to say the least. We have two trucks, an F-250 Ford diesel and an F-150 Ford. With hauling our horses and other farm related work, the dust, weather and miles are a test for any wiper blade... the ANCO Contour blades pass that test. I replaced one of the 22 inch blades on the F-250 and one of the 20 inch blades on the F-150. The "Kwik Connect" installation was easy. They form a tight fit against the windshield that doesn't faulter with highway speeds. On the other side of the vehicles I used a $30.00 premium wiper blade. The ANCO blade has proven itself to be superior in all areas. I highly recommend the ANCO Contour wiper blade and believe it to be one of the best blades on the market.
Amazon tells me that this product does not fit my 2004 Audi TT. Other sites tell me it does. Ultimately, there was no way of finding out whether I needed the OE or UB version of this wiper blade. I got one of each. The OE version is for those cars that use this style of wiper blade as original equipment and as it turns out, the OE version fits perfectly well once you figure out which of the several adaptors included is required and how to install it on the blade. The instructions are less than clear but after several attempts, I was able to install it. It fits well and operates properly. It rained today so I used it and found that it runs smoothly and without noise or skipped spots. The UB version has a different set of attachments and would not fit with any of the provided adaptors. Based upon the inaccurate information scattered about the web, some related to older iterations of Anco Contour blades, you might want to purchase this at a location where you can try it out and immediately return it if it proves not to fit. Once you know what definitely fits, you can come back to Amazon for future purchases.
These are decent, middle-of-the-road wipers. The rubber is heavy and seems like it will be durable. My old blade (a Michelin...looks almost identical) had started chattering and leaving a huge streak. Replacing it with this blade fixed the problems, but I suspect most new wipers would have. I did notice streaks near the edges of the blade, though, so this wiper isn't leaving as wide of a clear path as it should.If you have a car with "opposing" wipers (rather than both going in the same direction, they move towards each other, both attached at the lower corners), you will have to remove and rotate the attaching bracket in order to keep the "spoiler" on the top edge (this is illustrated in the instructions) on your passenger side.  A bit of a hassle, but not a huge deal.The price seems a little steep, currently $13.53 here, with a MSRP of an astounding $28! I can tell you these are DEFINITELY not worth $28. As $14 wipers, I would give these about 3.5 stars.  For $28, I would expect something really special, which these are not.  They are just okay.  For $28 wipers, I'd only give them two stars.Note: When I ordered these, it appeared that they would fit my Chrysler, but they do not (I needed the UB, rather than the OE, version).  My wipers have a J-shaped hook, and none of the adapters included with this version will work with that.  I did get the UB version as well, which, aside from the connection point, are identical to these.
This Anco contour wiper blade installed easy with just a snap. My husband said it was a breeze. They really work well in heavy rain ( big drops white and hard to see through) to keep the window clear.  Also removes morning frost quickly and cleanly. Will have to wait unitl later to try in the snow, but expect excellent results.
The wiper installs easily, looks nice, perhaps has more rubber on the non-wiping part (not sure why, unless it's supposed to make you feel like you're touching an actual squeegee blade or something)...and it stutters going across the windshield.  Ugh.Installation:  very easy, snap in an adapter, slide it on the little hook on your wiper arm, and you're done.Usage:  on a DRY windshield, it looks like it'll work fine.  But once it gets wet, most every time (not all, but most) it goes back to resting position, it stutters across the windshield.  I'm not sure what to make of this:  in the past two months I've replaced the windshield itself, and applied RainX.  Neither of it helps the stuttering/jumping back, and neither of my previous blades did it.  (Oddly enough, one of my previous blades was also an ANCO...and it worked better.)I'm hoping that these need additional wear or break in time, but if they're not smooth wiping in a couple more weeks, I'm tossing them and putting the old ones back on.  Given my current experience with these, I wouldn't recommend or purchase them again.
Anco C-20-OE Contour Wiper Blade-20" are great. They do the job and keep the rain off the windshield.My visibility has improved and they are quiet! I love them, my old ones on my truck were very noisey,and made a horrible screeching sound. They work for me and they will work for you. Plus they are very easy to install.Just make sure you order two as there is one in each pkg. Thanks.
I used this as a replacement for  stock wiper blade.  It was easy to install and works well.  To be honest most wiper blades perform well when new so only time will tell if these hold up better than cheaper "stock" wiper blades.  So far no streaking or squeaking so they get 4stars (-1 star for the relatively higher price tag).
I tried to install this on my '08 suburban and it doesn't have the right type of adapter included. The '08 and '09 suburbans have different wiper attachments and although the parts finder says this works, it does not.  I even had several other people look at it including a mechanic and we all came to the conclusion that either the adapter is missing or this is the wrong type for my vehicle. Living in rainy Florida I replace my blades frequently and Anco is the first product that has been not compatible.'
The wiper blade was very easy to install - I had to choose the right adapter out of the three included, and snap it on, and then snap the whole thing to my car. It wipes well so far.
Anco has made wiper blades for a long time and quality is always there with them.Plain and simple,they work and work well.They are very easy to install and last at least a year.At least on my car wipers last long.Im in California and it doesn't rain much but when it does it does and you need good wipers.Anco wipers will do a good job for you.I recommend highly.
I have been using a jointless wiper blade ever since it became a popular replacement for the factory jointed type that is usually pre-installed when you buy a new vehicle. The ANCO C-20-OE Contour Wiper Blade - 20" fits the bill when you need to replace or just want to upgrade to a better performing wiper blade. Got this just in time to coincide with persistent rainy weather we've been having in my state. Snow on the other hand is a different story, no way for me to simulate that kind of weather event. It also worked well with frost accumulation on the windshield. It wiped away the frost smoothly, with no kind of hesitation or drag while in the wiping motion.My thoughts:Performance: the jointless type ANCO C-20-OE Contour Wiper Blade - 20" is contoured better to "hug" your windshield with minimal resistance and pressure points. This translates to better wiping ability thereby enabling you to see better in inclement weather. Since it is jointless, this type of wiper gives you uniform wiping pressure, eliminating the pressure points or the "streaks" that you see across your windshield as it moves across the windshield. The curvature of this wiper is aerodynamic, it will prevent a lift-off of the blade even in high winds.Installation: it took less than 10 minutes to install the ANCO C-20-OE Contour Wiper Blade - 20" without using any of the adapters for the wiper arm of my vehicle.Very satisfied with how the ANCO C-20-OE Contour Wiper Blade - 20" has performed. It is in the middle of the pack as far as price is concerned compared to other jointless name-brand wiper but gives you an awesome wiping performance. Highly recommended!
The ones on the current vehicle were a bit more than a year old but in Florida the harsh sun and daily thunderstorms combined with love-bugs and all the rest put wiper blades through the paces. This arrives promptly, takes about 1 minute to install (literally). No squeeking, no streaking. This was my first experience with this brand but like it better tha PIAA...highly comparable to Bosch brand and better than the factory installed version by far.
Note: these blades only fit certain vehicles, which doesn't include the common hook-type attachment present on most vehicles. Make sure you need this "OEM" fit. If you're looking for a more generic fit (including the hook-type), the same blade is available asANCO C-28-UB Contour Wiper Blade.These blades installed without a hitch. I hadn't used single-beam wiper blades before, so this was something new for me. They work fine. But so has every other wiper blade I've ever used (at least when new), some of which only cost a third of what this product does. I don't know that these will last three times as long as other wiper blades I've used (including Anco's 31-series), and am guessing that the others represent a better value.The supposed benefits of this design? "Resists corrosion & freezing". Can't say that I've ever had an issue with either corrosion or freezing with any of the blades I've ever purchased, and I live in northern Utah, where we get a lot of cold and snow.Anyway, they work fine. If you feel a need for this blade design (and these fit your vehicle; double check!), go for it. But I'm pretty sure I'll be back to the cheaper blades next time, since they work just as well for me.
This is a nice looking wiper blade, if you are the kind of person who notices things like that. It is all a matte black, one piece unit, without the 'traditional' metal looking flanges. It has a 'performance' look to it.I like that the blade comes with three different attachment clips, so you can pick and chose the right one for your car. That is a thoughtful touch - normally I have to futz too much with getting a wiper to fit, clipping things to 'make' them fit.They work well in the rain, clearing off a nice section to see out of, as all wipers do when they are new. They work smoothly and evenly over the glass.They don't work as well for dust, but that's really not what these are made for.Although these are touted as being superior for cold weather, the real test for me will be this summer, in the Arizona desert temperatures. Usually any wipers I install around spring end up warped by the heat a few months later. And the dust doesn't help, either. :)Recommended for wet rainy days, for ease of attachment, and for a stylish look.
These windshield wipers by ANCO as I stated in a previous review of other ANCO windshield wipers, are the best wiper blades I have ever owned. The thick rubber blade and solid housing makes these wiper blades very durable. As I stated in my previous review, every swipe of these wiper blades not only dries the windshield but it cleans it. There was a heavy rain storm about two days after I installed my new wiper blades and I was extremely pleased with the wipers performance. Very easy to install, installation takes about 30 seconds.
At the time I selected this blade, the product page gave me the green light with the claim that this will fit my 2005 Toyota Prius, which has flat, cane shaped wiper blade arm attachments; however, it does not. The page  fit results now correctly show as incompatible for my car.On the back of the package, it shows the three types that it does fit, all of which have a silhouette that somewhat resembles a needle cartridge for a turntable. I tried all three clips to see if any were multi-compatible, but none were.
The material/rubber is good, but not high quality soft rubber.The type of rubber in the blade is very important how well it swipes the water.Other factor includes the weight, the curve, etc.The mounting bracket on this is not universal and I think it fits only American cars like Chevy or dodge.It doesn't fit Honda.
The Anco wiper blade I ordered installed easily on my car's passenger side and works well.  It is streak free and there is no clattering or noise.  I don't know what the durability of this blade will be so I left off a star for now, I will update a few months from now.  The package came with several adaptors for various applications but before ordering, make sure the blade will fit your vehicle.  This is easy to do with Amazon's garage app that stores your vehicle to match it with parts that fit.
It was quick and easy to install. I like the unibody design over the old multi-arm style. The rubber is pliable and contours to my large curved windshield so I get a clean swipe every time. The Anco blade seems sturdy and rugged. You need that during the snow storms.
We ordered this ANCO 21" contour blade for our 2004 Honda Odyssey. We thought that the various connectors meant that it would connect properly - but as it turns out it would not connect properly. So the review that follows is for the other contour blade we received, a different length, for our other car.We got a single ANCO 22" contour blade to review, and we reviewed it side by side against a new regular ANCO (non-countour) blade on the other side of the front windshield. I own a Subaru Forester. The Contour blade was slightly clearer and slightly quieter. Both were just as easy to put on and remove.I'm 44 and have been driving since I was 16. In those years I definitely learned early on the value of using a good quality windshield wiper. After all, it's a relatively cheap part which can help prevent a quite expensive (and harmful) accident. So definitely I would say if you're currently using a cheap windshield wiper blade that it's well worth upgrading to something good quality.Do you need to go from normal ANCO to the contour ANCO? Again, I would say it's worth having the best you can get. This is about seeing the road in front of you in an already slick situation. You've got enough else to worry about in a thunderstorm or snowstorm. You don't need to worry about being able to see the road on top of everything else.I'll update this when both wear out, to give notes on the durability of them, but I assume both will have the normal range of durability.
These wiper blades are easy to attach and they seem to be strong enough to do a nice job. Most wipers now have gotten better and cheaper really quickly. I seem to replace them a lot more often now than I ever have in the past. This is not bad. Like these ANCO's, they are easy to attach, are good performers, and they seem to be relatively inexpensive. These ANCO's are all of that.Feel confident that there are good wipers that work well, and that attach very easily. They just don't seem to be anything too significantly better or worse than any of the other wiper blades out there. That is its strength and its weakness. if you need new wipers, buy with confidence ...
My husband's "project" car is an Audi TT.  We put this new wiper on with no problem, except for the pathetic small, wordless instruction sheet. The wiper comes with 3 different plastic clips to attach the wiper to the wiper arm.  It was relatively easy to figure the correct one to use and how to attach it, but with no help from the instructions.The whole operation took less than 5 minutes.  The wiper works well, yielding a very clean windshield, however time will tell whether it is worth the additional cost.  This is not the most expensive blade out there, but they are far from the most reasonable.By the way, they look very sleek without the standard metal frame.
The Anco Contour wiper blades are great blades to use. They look handsome and they perform very well. However,  this OE model did not fit my husband's 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup stock wipers, neither can it be modified to, so be sure to pick up the right model Anco blade for your vehicle. I had to get the UB model for the Dodge truck, which fit perfectly.From my experiece with the UB version, this is a quality wiper blade that is good looking too. Worth your consideration.
I used these on my 2012 Honda CRV - removing the old blades and installing these took a total of five minutes. The attachment system is easy to figure out and instructions easy to follow. Heck, they're wiper blades! They keep the window rain free.
These blades went on very easily, right out of the box.  Once on they worked very well.  Their performance was just as good as the original factory blades that they replaced.  In some cases, like when there was dirt on the glass, they actually performed better than the original blades did when they were new.If you are looking for a good reliable wiper blade, that won't streak even when the glass is dirty or icy, then this is a good blade for you.
Like other reviewers, I misunderstood the 'OE'/'UB' designations... I got OE for my wife's car, but they didn't fit. Luckily, my car was able to use them (although the current blades still have a bit of life left in them)... one wiper was a bit longer then what was on already, but it actually worked out better and cleared more of the windshield. Instructions are a bit too 'simple', as I think some who's never replaced wipers before might have trouble understanding them. I was able to get my bearings and figure out what was being explained. Fit was excellent and they clean beautifully.
I've had a range of wiper blades on my Honda Fit - some expensive, some cheap - and there seems to be little correlation between price and wiping efficacy. The ANCOs are on the cheap end, not at list price, but at normal selling price; however, they don't feel cheap. They make good contact with my windshield and appear to function well. Time will tell if these last or not. My previous set lasted for four years, which is pretty amazing.Installation wasn't too bad. The instructions included could be a bit better for those of us who have to use the little adaptor pieces. It's nothing that anyone of normal intelligence cannot figure out, but I think it could also be explained a bit better. Overall, I'm pleased thus far. If these last long enough, I will consider buying them again.
There seems to be many better wind shield wipers now available. I have tried the contour type blades recently. The Anco brand which is fairly common in this area also seems to have a good one. It was easy to install and seems well made and hopefully will last. Only time will tell. It was easy to determine if it fir my car by just typing in the year, make and model. This blade is easy to recommend.
it was exactly what i was looking for.  i needed it for my city water connection on my camper. the old one died
I'm please with my purchase of this plug.  I needed a cover for the freshwater inlet on the RV and found this.  It's space age plastic fits very nicely in the groves of the fresh water intake.  The strap is a nice addition so you don't loose this vital piece of space age equipment.  Overall, I am pleased as punch with this plug.  Would purchase it pronto!
It's a garden hose plug that actually plugs the garden hose, just like it is supposed to, kind of hard to write a lot about such a simple little thing.  I like it.
Hard to find a cap like this. Purchased for RV and installed very easy. Works better than original. Great find.
The original rubber plug I had broke. I would have preferred a direct replacement, but this is a good enough substitute. As it is, it works perfectly. As others said, the leash doesn't stretch, so keep that in mind for your application. It's a challenge fitting the ring over a male connection.
I went to a Toyota dealer to buying coolant for my 1996 Toyota car and the dealer confirmed with me that (Toyota Genuine Fluid 00272-SLLC2 Long Life Coolant - 1 Gallon) was not for my car because it was for 2005 and later models. The correct coolant type for my car was Toyota Genuine Fluid 00272-1LLAC-01 Long Life Coolant - 1 Gallon instead.
The price is much better than what the local dealership is offering this coolant for. I didn't want to mix and match coolant types or have to flush to current coolant completely from the cooling system in order to switch to a different type. This is a great option at the best price for topping off or for a coolant drain and refill.
This is a great Toyota coolant for the money. Works as described and easy to use. Highly recommend this to anyone looking flush their Toyota's coolant.

My 2006 3.5L V6 came with the pink coolant from the factory so I'm going to continue using the same type; not taking any chances by mixing it with regular green coolant.  I've considered buying the undiluted red one and diluting it myself but the owner's manual and my dealer's parts department don't recommend it.
I have ordered this coolant several times for my daughters Camry. It is all I will use and I like the fact that is already a 50/50 mix. I am fine with paying a little more for the convenience of not having to drive to the dealer to purchase or mixing myself.
hi......we all know that if your toyota had the red fluid when new......you better replace it with the same.....the factory may say it lasts forever but i drain and add 1 gallon every year....a very small price to pay to keep you fluid like new....year after year.....i do want to say...... thanks to amazon .....the dealer did not screw me this time.....nobody beats amazons prices.....i buy all my fluids here and buy the best because the prices are great......long live amazon.com.......joey
This is two half-filters that go into the airbox behind the glove compartment. It fits my Jeep perfectly and captures plenty of dirt. Just remove the glove box, pop open the plastic doors, switch the key on and switch the A/C to Recirculate to raise the gate, and slide in the two halves, the right one first, then the left. There's little rails inside that housing to hold them in. As for Amazon little compatibility robot claiming it doesn't fit my Jeep, Amazon's little compatibility robot is smoking crack. Just sayin'. It fits great.
Sometimes I forget to close the flow through vents when behind somebody on a dusty trail. As soon as I switch to recirculate the air cleans up within a few minutes. Excellent buy for any Jeeper.
I didn't realize that filters worked as well as these. Fit perfect, and easy to install. You can feel the difference in the AC.
Fit fantastic, came as a set of two (as it should have).  I have no complaints with the purchase of these filters for my 2012 Wrangler.
I think they are expensive for what they are but 1. They are more expensive everywhere else 2. When they are in and I'm recirculating airflow through them my allergies don't kick in so it's worth the money for me. Perfect fit for 2012 Wrangler
Simplicity and performance are two of the numerous characteristics that define this charger. It is a leap forward in technology from the old square metal-cased charger that was the norm. It is simple to hook up and with just one push of a button it goes about its business efficiently and thoroughly. Easy to use and easy to store. Another winner from Bosch.
This isn't one of the giant wheeled battery chargers, heavy duty, meant for farm use.  This one is designed for a motorcycle (has a 6v mode as well), or a car (such as a sports/classic car that may sit a lot of the time).  Hooking it up is pretty straightforward, connect power, hook to the battery, and then select your mode on the charger.  For me there was only three options, motorcycle/car/AGM, I chose the AGM (as I have a non-gel Optima battery).  By morning the battery had been charged, and is on trickle charge.The hook on the device is very nice to attach to the hood, or some other object around the vehicle.  The only complaint I have is that a few of the cords are too short.  From the charger to the wall seems to be a bit short, had to use an extension car to get it in proper position by my car (although this may not be an issue for everyone, as my garage is quite large, and the car not by a wall).  The other short cord is the detachable one that goes on the battery (this is also very nice, and additional hookups can be ordered inexpensively) doesn't seem to be long enough to tuck someplace where i can hook it up without opening the hood, I guess it's not meant for that.Overall this charger has a lot of functionality showing you exactly what is going on (if you hooked it up backwards, what it's doing, etc), a method to easily hook up to multiple cars, and plus comes with the Bosch name.  Would recommend this.
I'm very pleased with this Bosch C3 Battery Charger, it's not your basic car battery charger because it's a "Smart Charger" it's computer controlled meaning it adjusts to the needs of the battery that's being charged. You do need to select the type of battery being charged, car, motorcycle or AGM  but after that this charger takes control. If the charger senses a 12 volt battery is between 8 and 10.5 volts it automatically switches to pulse charging, this allows the battery to recover the best possible way enhancing the charging process for such a low condition. This is just one of the many computer controlled advantages of this type of battery charger.I added the optional Bosch C35AC0 Quick Connect Cable Harness for C3 Battery Charger, it's a direct connect harness you can connect to your car or whatever battery that's installed. You simply plug the charger into the end of the harness, I have one in my sports car that's stored Winters, it makes it very simple to just leave the charger connected, once the battery is fully charged the Bosch C3 charger switches over to a trickle, when I want to use the car I just unplug the harness and drive away.  I can't say enough about this great charger, buy one and you won't regret it!Update: I found that chargers made by NOCO use the same plug and make many options for connecting to different application at a lower price. I'm guessing NOCO makes chargers for Bosch and use the same quick plugs. For the same price as Bosch's C35ACO quick connect harness the NOCO harness includes a battery  monitorNOCO Genius GC015 12V Eyelet Battery Indicator
A few of the reviews were spot on about the major flaws.  The biggest being you have to touch a button for it to do anything.  That is simply terrible.  I bought this thinking the Bosch name would mean something, but it does not mean good in this case.  Not sure why they even developed this product.  I used this for one of my classic cars and as others have said, if the power is interrupted, you are back to square one and HAVE TO PUSH A BUTTON! terrible design and thinking on their part.  I highly recommend the CTEK version instead, I've been using it for years and it's brought back batteries that my regular 2amp/15amp couldnt!  That's impressive.EDIT: The CTEK 3300 is a far superior device for the same money.  I've been trying to use the Bosch to get my camaro battery charged without success for the last two weeks.  I hooked up the CTEK yesterday and 4 hours later, the car started and was driveable.  The other advantage of the CTEK is the memory for knowing last state, so if there is power loss, it comes back to same place it was.  Also, once it's done charging, it goes into maintenance mode automatically.  Exactly how a product like this should work!CTEK Multi US 3300 12-Volt Smart Battery Charger
Somehow it started in a wrong mode and then after turning it off and back on it picked up correct mode.I, generally,  have a high regard for Bosch products but this one falls short of top quality professional grade tool.
This battery charger is so easy to use, it does almost everything except hook up the clamps!  This is not your typical charger.  This thing is very sturdy and well built.  It's compact and small, but has plenty of cord to get the job done.  The small size also makes it easy to leave in your engine compartment and close your hood so no one steals it if you charge overnight.  You can't do that with those big square chargers.Simply hook it up and choose your mode by pressing a single button.  If your battery is near dead, it automatically detects that and begins pulse charging to get you up and running even sooner.  It also brings your battery up to full charge and then kicks over to trickle charge mode automatically.  Sweet!The hook attachment makes it easy to simply hang from the hood latch while working, so it's out of the way.  Put the clamps on, plug it in, choose your mode, and you're charging!They also have an inexpensive harness with quick disconnect you can add to multiple cars, motorcycles, or lawnmowers.  This speeds up changing the charger out even more.... and it was quick already!I highly recommend this charger.
Summary: Ideal for storage, the automatic modes are good for less technical people, but do limit what you can do.  Definitely not a "High power" charger.As a "Smart" charger, you just hook it up to the battery, plug it into the wall and push a single button - the onboard logic figures out what you need and does the rest.  It will tell you if you've put the terminals on backwards, it will decide if it's a 6VV or 12V battery, and then starts to charge.  This makes it very simple, but won't let you try and resurrect 12V batteries which are below 8V.The charger itself is a nice size - fairly small and comes with a detachable plastic hook so you can hang it on your car or motorcycle when charging.  It comes with alligator clips or a direct hook up so you can use the speed connector.I wasn't able to find a current rating in the literature but looking at the back it's rated for 60 watts.  This suggests that it will charge your battery at perhaps 4-5 amps.  That's an overnight charge at best.  When I was a kid we used to have a 20 amp charger that could bring a dead battery back to enough charge to start your car within an hour or two.  Other chargers have a "start" mode where it can jump up to 50 or more amps.  If you need this capability, look atSchumacher XC103 SpeedCharge Battery Charger with Engine Startor perhapsSchumacher XC75 SpeedCharge Battery Charger with Engine StartAlthough it's listed as having four modes, I was only able to figure out 3:  1) Pulse charging (when the battery is very low, below 10.5 volts  2) Regular charging, then (3)trickle charging when it's full.Perhaps the other mode is the AGM mode - this only kicks in when it detects an AGM battery and it's very cold outside - Really kind of a limited situation.I'm using it on some 12V AGM cells right now,
Seems counter intuitive to purchase fluids online, but once I started ordering Mobil 1 products on Amazon, I haven't looked back. I have 2 bikes and 2 cars and use Mobil 1 on all of them for everything - engine oil, diff fluids, tranny fluids etc.Amazon prices are great, 2 day shipping on prime makes it a no brainer as opposed to going to the shop.
2007 Honda CB900F 919 Hornet. I found this stuff in the local parts store by accident while looking for brake fluid. Came home and looked it up on the Mobile site and went back and got some. The price is about the same online as it is at the local outlet. (FYI. Here in Fort Lauderdale, for some reason, oil, brake fluid, car finish products, and wax, etcetera, are either the same or cheaper in the store, for the most part, than they can be had online. AutoZone has been matching the Amazon online prices if they are lower than store prices on many of these products if you take the printout to the store with you.) Drained the oil and replaced the filter with a K&N K&N KN-204C Powersports High Performance Oil Filter, that I did get cheaper online at Amazon.com. It took ALL of the four quarts and a smidge of a fifth to fill her back up to the top line in the sight glass. The manual says, "check with engine off," so that's what I did. Before the oil change, I did notice some jerkiness at low speed when I would just start down the driveway. This is gone. And, the shifting throughout the range is flawless, both up and down, at any speed. I'm convinced that this is truly MADE for motorcycles. By the way, just a note to anyone who has been away from bikes since before they invented oil JUST for motorcycles ... this is a requirement nowadays, as the automotive products seem to have additives that the bikes don't need, and may cause the clutch plates to slip, and other problems. Yeah, yeah, I know, that was a LONG time ago ... no comments from the peanut gallery!
i've used mobil one for my cars for a very long time so switching my bike to mobil 1 was a no brainer.  i used this to change out the oil on my cbr and so far its worked well.  one thing i did notice is that my engine is running about 10 degrees hotter than average so for that reason alone i may switch to a different oil next time.  otherwise i think it works great and would recommend to others.
Tried many oils.Rotella aint no Mobil 1.As you know, honda shadow vt750c ace manual states 12000 Km for an oil change.Many oils start feeling funky after 2000km including the rotella T6. Which I change at 4000Km due to the need to re top up and meet the 12 000 km changing of oil filter interval.Clutch slipping improved.Well, So far its been 3000km and feels like the day Ive changed it. I had to top up at 2000km though.Perhaps I might try going 6000-8000km this time around.Im doubtful other oils will feel the same but mobil 1 really surprised me.Lately the price went up too high in amazon.
I highly recommend Mobil 1. I run it in my vehicles and figured I would give it a try in my bike. I have a Kawasaki ZX1400. I've always used synthetic oil and this clearly beats all the ones I've tried! Bike runs smoother and still looks good after 3,000 miles when I changed it again.
had a hard time finding the appropriate weight Castrol as recommended by Triumph.  Threw this stuff in and it's great.  Smoothness, keeps the engine cool, I assume it cleans as it lubricates.  No complaints.
I use Mobil 1 in my cars so I decided to give it a spin on my FJR1300.  I'm sure its a great oil, but I will admit there was no noticeable difference between Castrol synthetic and Mobil 1.  Both allow the bike to shift buttery smooth and run like a banshee.  If Mobil and Castrol were priced the same, I'd probably buy Mobil just based on reputation, but I think for the FJR I'll use Castrol and save a few bucks.
First time using a full synthetic in my motorcycle..I am very satisfied with the performance of this oil and the longevity (5,000 miles between changes- per a Mobil Oil Tech)..
I purchased this to detail the cars and truck after washing. This is really some good stuff. I've used the Meguiars stuff, Optimum Instant Detailer which is a close second but this is the best. I spray it on wipe it in with a microfiber towel then use a second microfiber towel to wipe off. It leaves a great shine and the paint feels really slick after using this. I am really glad I purchased the gallon.
This stuff is beyond 5-stars. There's not much else that I can add that hasn't been said. I love using it on my painted wheels. It makes it so easy and quick. You'll definitely be back to buy the gallon jug.
I have tried Zaino, Meguiars, Optimum, Various Chemical Guy's products and many others and this is the best beyond compare.  It's a little pricey but worthy every drop.  Make sure you use a high quality microfiber cloth and this will bring out the richness in your pain if it is pretty good shape.
When you can't wax your car, use this to spray on and it will do a good job.  Keeps my black car looking good in between waxes.  This is also good for taking off bird droppings when you can't wash your car.  Use generously.  However, I would not use if possible if your car is not dirt free.  It can still scratch the paint.
This is better than the average shine on and shine off stuff that your auto parts store has.The Sequence I follow is:1) Wash and Wax2) Clay Bar with Luber3) Polish http://prowax.com/polishes_glazes.html4) Hybrid V75) Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint SealantThe Little Lady is Happy.
I've used various spray detailers and they are all about the same, except for this stuff. I misted some of this stuff on my car after a wash, while I was drying the car. It left a serious gloss and smoothness that is usually only there after a good waxing. Granted my car was recently sealed and waxed a month or so ago, this really brings back that look, and quickly. It also helped dry the car faster than normal.I would recommend this stuff to anyone looking for a good spray detailer.
I'm a hobbyist car detailer, and have a black car. For people with black cars, you know how difficult spray solutions are to use. Most streak, and if they don't, it's because you removed the product with a wet MF towel.Anyway, this product smells good- like tangerines. The consistency is watery, which goes with my opinion on the product.Overall, I found the solution to be decent- but only as a cleaner. This product leaves practically no residue on the clear coat surface, nor does it leave a smell. Water does not bead (like it would with a real sealant) and it's removed even with a light rain shower.This product is unfortunately a more expensive &#34;version&#34; of a product called ONR, or optimum no rinse. Spray, wipe, then wipe again with a dry rag, and the product is gone. ONR is far cheaper, and more concentrated, and gives similar results.Even in the gallon size i'm hesitant to suggest this product- it can't be applied in sun, and must be wiped immediately, since it &#34;flashes&#34; off very quickly. It cannot be diluted (it's already heavily diluted) and offers no paint protection whatsoever.If your purpose in buying this is to quick detail, that's fine. But the fact that they advertise this as a spray sealant is simply deceiving.I would not buy this product again.
When you need to get a quick shine in less time, this is the product, I am a big fan of CG stuff and this is another winner!!
This stuff is AWESOME! it realy makes a big difference. You will love how bugs come off Compared to your car with out it FL has soo many bugs where I live and this made them come off with just a spray off water no scrubbing needed
I bought this along with a lot of other chemical guys products to get prepped for summer and this detailing spray works really good. A little background is a previously sealed my car with chemical guys jet seal and waxed it over. A few days later I just wanted a little boost to the shine after I got dirt on my car and it cleans nice and leaves a good shine so that I don't half to re wash.
Again, Chemical Guys product never let me down. I got this as a gift from christmas. They're right, if you don't feel waxing or polishing your beloved car, this is the easiest way to make it shine. I could not believe how easy it is to shine your car in an instant using this product.
I'm a professional detailer (Google search for E&J's Detailing, Chantilly, VA). I've been using other products for a while and figured I would try this out. It's good but way overpriced for the quantity. If you're looking for a way to seal your paint this is not the way to go. I use Griot's Garage 3" DA buffer paired with a 3M perfect-it 3" pad to apply Meguiar's Synthetic Sealant 2.0 and it doesn't take that long. If you're looking for a really nice spray detailer between washes I mix Meguiar's Final Inspection ($28 a gallon at Napa)  with Chemical Guys Luber ($15 a gallon on Amazon) and it creates a super slick shinny surface. You can also substitute Final Inspection with Meguiar's Synthetic Spray Detailer for added protection. Is this product good? Yes. Would I buy it again? No, I wouldn't even buy the gallon size because my method yields more product for the same price with the same results and as stated before I use a paste sealant instead of a spray sealant. I own hundreds of dollars worth of products, pads, microfiber rags from various manufacturers and five polishers (Meguiar's DA, Porter Cable DA, Flex DA, Griot's Garage 3" DA and one rotary buffer). Search for E&J's Detailing, Chantilly VA on Google for pictures of our customer's cars detailed by E&J's Detailing.
This stuff is amazing. did a simple maintenance wash of the wife's CX-9 and then threw this on after and the shine was great, and it seems to be keeping a lot of the dust off. Will probably be ordering the gallon of this...
Great topper product, I love the way it flashes into the paint and leaves no streaks.  This product is excellent for glass as well.
Excellent top coat. Leaves behind a great shine and smells great. I have used it on several different cars and the shine is always second to none.
I use this in between waxing on all my cars, I have become a very big CG fan the past few months as there products seem to work exactly as they say they will.
Easy to spray on to continue the look of your clean car,get this brand and you won't be sorry,its fantastic! Kelly K of Shiftn Steel Sport Riderz
I like how it makes the surface shine and also adds a slight amount of 'slick' to the surface for water runoff (rain).  It goes quickly, so I would suggest buying the gallon size to refill this.  Good stuff!
Is virtually disappearing good or bad? Where does it disappear to? The air, the towel or? Unfortunately I was not impressed with this stuff.. I did not notice an increase in shine on either one of my silver-ish cars. I think I would have been better off just getting one of the cheaper detailing sprays and some of the shine spray for tires, etc.
I've used V07 on two cars now.  The product works well, is easy to apply, and really made a difference on black paint!Chose 4 stars because:-Easy application:  simply spray on after washing and wipe in with a microfiber cloth to achieve a suitable layer of protection.  A few days after application, it rained and the water beading proved it worked quite well.  I've used some crappy national-brand waxes that seem to bead water as well as this stuff, but were much more laborious to apply.- Great protection.  After using on my black car, I could tell that the car was repelling dirt and dust because it visually stayed glossy for longer.  My car is in need of waxing, but not badly.  A layer of this certainly made a difference in dirt/dust sticking to the car.  When used on a friends car that had visible medium/heavy clear coat oxidation and bad swirls, the paint no longer had the hazy clear-coat after applying V07.-Value:  a slight bit expensive when you consider the number of uses you'll get out of the bottle this size.  I think that the sprayer that comes with it is partly to blame, as it spreads a very very wide spray pattern that seems to miss the car and/or blow away.Great for people that need a protection after washing, but may not have the time or patience to wax and dry the entire car.  I would imagine this stuff would make a fully waxed & polished car really have a ridiculous amount of gloss if used as the final step, but if you are going through a full paint-correction process, this isn't really NEEDED, but would certainly add that extra pop that you may be looking for.  I think the gallon size has a FAR better value, all things considered!
I found this gallon size here at Amazon at an awesome price w/free shipping. If you have a car with paint in good shape and want to keep it shiny and protected,then this is the stuff you should have. It's one of the easiest products to apply and wipe off. Of course that is on a clean or lightly dusty car. It has UV protection to help your clear coat survive longer in harsh climates like here in Hawaii. One of my all time favorites. Highly recommended,but watch out,your friends are gonna want to use yours. That's why you have to buy it by the gallon.
Way too expensive for a such low quality product i justgong to use my regular product thus dont order this
and it is truly worth the price, the 1 gallon that isthe smaller size is just too expensiveif you want a spray wax/sealant i guarantee this is one of teh bestdont waste your money on the small sizeget the gallonwill last you 1 yearthats 2.50$ a month give or take
I use this as a detailer and it leaves a nice shine. My favorite use for it is on my wheels after I've washed my car. Applies a coat of sealant that helps keep my wheels cleaner and makes washing them simpler.
I use this product all the time.  It is great as a Last Step Product (LSP), quick detailer, etc.  You can use it on paint, wheels, windows, you name it.One of my go to combinations is CG Black Light followed by V7 - this produces an amazing shine and slick surface!I also use V7 each time I wash my car to enhance the protection on my vehicles paint.This is a great product (as most CG products are!) and I would highly recommend this to anyone!-Zach[...]
I own a lot of Chemical Guys and Griots products. The microfiber cleaner has cleaned even my most disgusting towels and pads and left them feeling soft and back to life.
Very good product. I use this product for all of my microfiber products including my golf clothes. Does what it should and the price is very reasonable.
With buying all these microfiber this and thats I needed a way to clean them. This in my HE washer works great. I have a front loader and cleans like crazy and they feel like new!
Find a good dye and perfume-free detergent and wash your towels in it. This stuff seemed to work ok on my foam polishing pads, but I was able to achieve the same if not better results by using 409. I don't see any difference at all in using this to wash my microfiber stuff.
I've only used it once, but it worked. I used it on a foam wax applicator that I had used to wax an aluminum table. So it was pretty black. It didn't take much effort or cleaner. The pad came out looking like new.
If you had dirt in your paint than you get a dirty pad. This cleans the pads well. If you get a dirty pad you are either working with really bad paint or poorly cleaned paint.
I have used the Griot's Microfiber and Foam Pad Cleaner for several years. I sometimes go without using it, but I have found that the towels and pads do get cleaner and last longer with the use of this cleaner.Used as directed, it will help remove deposits of wax buildup in your towels by adding the appropriate amount to your machine wash. For foam pads, I find it best to soak the pad in a dilluted solution of the cleaner and water.What you spend on this cleaner will repay itself (and then some) over time in the longer life of microfiber towels and foam waxing/polishing pads.
It does the job and works pretty good on the pads to remove the polish ...the next step up from chemical guys
I really have not been able to tell the difference between this product and standard HE washing detergent on the microfiber towels.  I will continue to use this, try the Autogeek and Chemical Guys versions, and hopefully, compare them.
I put this in a bucket and let my towels soak in it before dumping them into the washer to clean them.  The towels usually come out nice and clean with this method.
good cleaner for the price, a little goes a long way and this stuff works great! much better then uing regular laundry soap
I decided to go crazy detailing my "Carbon" colored BMW (nearly black).  Used lots of pads and got tired of trying to wash the ones that had non-water soluable products on them.  This cleaned them efficiantly and quickly.  Don't need but a squirt.  Smelled a little like alcohol...so maybe I could've just made it myself?  I tried using it in the washing machine to clean the microfiber towels I used too.  Worked perfectly as does most of the stuff at Griot's Garage.Did I mention I hate cleaning polishing pads?
I use about 5 triggle pulls worth into my detergent dipsenser along with some laundry detergent when I wash my expensive microfiber towels in the washing machine.The cleaner breaks down the waxes and polishes very well, and keeps my towels and wash mitts nice and soft like new.
Works great for pre washing pads/towels if you can't wash them after use. Towels and pads seem much softer using this and regular detergent (small amount).
Product works well and gets microfiber cloths clean. I received the bottle with just the foil seal and no cap though. Good thing I'm a Griot's nut and had an extra spray nozzle.
This product did not do much for me. Maybe I am not using it correctly but it did virtually nothing for me. It's cumbersome to use also. I gave it 3 stars because it may be me and not the product.
I've used Griot's products before. I feel they are generally high quality but also pricey. So, I found this as a used deal at a fair price. It does a nice job of giving my windshield a deep cleaning. I also have used it on my home windows.
This clay does a great job on getting the nasties off of your windshield. This clay is denser than the body clay and not sure why that makes a difference, but, it does. Not a HUGE difference, but, enough of a difference to notice. I'll buy it again when I need it which should be about every 4=5 months as I can get 3 clayings out one bar.
Have used this to a limited fashion in preping the 13 year old truck. Have to admit I can't see a lot of difference between the area I prepped with the cleaning clay and the area I did straight with the polishing compound. Will need to try some more before reaching a final verdict.
At first glance this stuff and its texture sorta reminds one of something out of that old movie, The Blob.  When I came across this strange looking goop at an auto show I decided to take a chance on it for two reasons.  One being that I had never seen anything like it, and second and most importantly, I am sure I am not alone in being one of those poor slobs that owns a car with a windshield that has one of those well known  hazes or films on it that are near impossible to get rid of.  Many of you know what I am talking about I am sure.  That haze that seems to forever be on the inside of some windshields that tenaciously resists anything one seems to throw at it.  And even when you do manage to get a ahead of it a little with a lot of scrubbing and swearing, it just tends to reappear sometime down the road.  This stuff actually did the trick in opening up a can of whoop a** on my horrible and aggravating haze. In the past I have scrubbed my windshield with ammonia, cleaners of all kinds, stiff brushes, pastes, you name it, only to see the haze return like a bad dream.  This cleaning clay was much easier to use that it appears it would be, and a little of it goes a long ways. But even if it was horrible to use or rinse it would have been worth it for me. I used it on the inside of both my car windshields and they have been crystal clear now for weeks. And all I can say is Hallelujah. Even if I never have another use for this stuff ever again it was worth the price just for that. I really can't attest to its effectiveness on water stains and such that other people have commented on since I presently don't have any glass around with that problem.  But with it being so delightfully effective on the windshield problem I had, I would not hesitate to try it on any real glass problem in the future.  Well worth it in my opinion for what it did for me... : )
I must not have a real application for this.  I used it (Jan 2013) on the windows, mirror, and windshield of a 2000 Silverado that had never been windshield-clayed and it didn't appear to pull up anything.  I used Wolfgang clay lube and followed the directions but didn't see any difference.  I folded the clay once just to see if there was a color or texture difference on the clay surface and I couldn't detect any.  Not sure whether my glass was old enough to use this (lol) or just the wrong application.  I do like Chemical Guys product to remove water spots, but you need to use your DA on it and I was hoping that this could get me partly there without all the effort.
I purchased to remove water spots or some film off of my windows. It didn't work as I expected. The spots are still there although it did remove other contaimnates from the windows.
I bought the glass cleaning clay with no expectations.  It did a very good job cleaning of grime of the windshield, which made cleaning so easy and clear.
This is a great product and has many years of reputation behind it amoung the true restoration officiandos. Anyone who works with classic cars and motor cycles will want to have this handy. it will assit in restoring the difficult chrome parts of older vehicles. Fire stations may want to have it on hand to prep for those parades!
My husband used this product to remove oxidation from stainless trim on an older vehicle and now it looks like chrome.  Handy to have on hand for restoring any metal that needs it instead of replacing it.  Actually does what it claims to do.
Griot's Garage started life as a web-based "petrol head" web site. The owner - a car collector himself - only sold products that his company either designed or discovered and came with Griot's personal stamp of approval. My friends in the Ferrari club are regular users of Griot's Garage goods and nobody cares more for their cars than the Tifosi! High praise indeed.My daily driver - an Audi A3 - has twin chrome tail pipes that are always turning black from the exhaust. I have tried several polishes but none gave me the cleanliness and shine I wanted. I crawled under the back of the Audi and started to polish away. I squeezed a small bit onto the tail pipe and then wrapped a soft cloth around it. It took only a few minutes to turn a dark and dirty tail pipe into the cleanest part of the car. Sweet! (Until I realized I now had to wash the whole car to make things even...)I next used the paste on a stainless steel knife blade. It had a few spots from the dishwasher (tiny circles of rust) and with a brisk rub, they disappeared quickly. Of course, I throughly washed the knife afterward because the warning on the tube says the paste is toxic!Finally, I gave our chrome kitchen faucet a quick polish. It did a great job on the dull finish but did not have much of an impact on some calcium deposits (not its fault...)Summary - This paste worked well on steel and chrome. It did not have an offensive odor (a lot of these products smell or ammonia) and it doesn't scratch the surface if used on a clean surface and with a soft cloth.Recommended.
A small dab of this metal polish combined with a cotton towel brought chrome and brass back to life. I tried this on several heavy chrome components of a 1960s pinball machine  as well as the heavy brass 1910 designs of the Cutler Mail company (mail chutes). No use of the Dremel or other electric buffing components was necessary. Simple handwork did the job and I ended up being able to rescue a number of items that looked quite time-worn. 2.5 ounces doesn't sound like a lot, but you need so little for any one job that it's plenty (unless, of course, you're working on large components such as the chrome bumpers or wheels of a car).
I polish a lot of Aluminum and have tested several different brands and types of rubbing compounds and polishes. They all work to some degree, but this Griot's Garage polish is my new favorite. It seems to take less effort to get a decent shine from old aluminum, and with a little more elbow grease, you can get things to really shine! I was very impressed and will be recommending this to my friends as my go-to polish of choice for aluminum. I am certain it works just as well on steel, copper, etc. This is a high quality product without a lot of hype. The product speaks for itself and I am happy to help promote fine quality products like this one.
Had used my Gerbar Gator MacheteGerber 22-41576 Gator Machete with Sheathquite extensively this past week (clearing brush). After give a good manual cleaning of the gunk, tree sap etc; I then tried to bring back the luster with Griot's Metal Polish which did what I expected ... gave it a nice general cleaning and shine I then finished up my restoration with Meguiar's Metal Finishing PolishMeguiar's Ultra Finishing Polishwhich gave it the extra sparkle needed before my next Amazonian adventure.Griot's Metal Polish indeed cleans, polishes and protects!
I've been a die-hard fan of Eagle One Nevr-Dull and thought this would provide the perfect test environment to put Griot's against.  I used it on my Harley polished stainless and chrome, and it cleaned them up BRILLIANTLY!  Don't get me wrong, I love Nevr-Dull and it's hard to do 'one better.'  But I believe the Griot's polish did a little bit better job than the Nevr-Dull, and -- this is the big part -- it's nice not to have to polish an entire motorcycle pinching a cotton ball.The hard thing about any polish is that it totally depends on how dirty something is to begin with before you can rate the performance.  I keep my stuff clean and it still took a bit of elbow grease, but nothing unusual.  Likewise, it doesn't take a lot of polish to get the metal sparkling again.In the end, this is a bit more expensive than Nevr-Dull, but I feel it's worth the additional cost.  I barely put a dent in this bottle so I know it's going to last a bit before I need to replace it.  I also love having it in a tube.  If you have shiny objects that you want shinier, this is an outstanding metal polish!I received this from the manufacturer for testing and review and have shared my honest experience in this review.
Some have noted that a lot of work is needed with this polish.  That is true but you need to know what results you desire.  The finer the polish, the more work will be required because less material is removed but you also have less risk of damage and the end result is more mirror like.  This polish is very fine so it will take some elbow grease if applying it by hand but the results are excellent.  If you have a lot of material to remove, start with a polish that has greater cutting properties then finish with this.  You will like the results.
I owned an aluminum bodied roadster for several years . Before I gave up trying to keep it polished and got it painted, I tried many metal polishing products including "Blue Magic", "Simichrome", "Autosol","Everbrite", "Midas Touch", "Met-all", "Peek" and "Rolite". The Griot's works very well on silver and brass and a little goes a long way. I did not try it on aluminum. Does it work better than the others? I'd say not, so I would base my purchase on a cost analysis of the comparable products.I've never been a fan of Griot's. I've tried various products and have felt that they are over-priced. This works well but price justification is the issue.5/7/14: Just used it to clean up the stainless steel burner top in my motor home and it did a great job. Again, nothing to compare it against.
This is one of the better metal polishes I've used. Now if only so much muscle power weren't needed to get the job done. Alas, that isn't a comment on the polish but rather on my advancing years.
I used this product to shine up the little figures I weld. It does the job with just as much rubbing as most other products. I didn't find it to be better or worse than other similar products.
Griot's Garage Metal Polish is a very good quality metal polishing cream with aluminum dioxide.  White compounds (such as this) which contain aluminum dioxide are used to finish off soft metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper.  They can also be used as an intermediate stage in polishing iron, steel, and nickel and chrome plating.CAUTION:  This white polish should *not* be used on gold or silver as recommended on the package as it is too abrasive.  Instead, use a good quality polish with jeweler's rouge such asWright's Silver Cream.  It will also remove the protective lacquer from brass.This cream is best applied with a soft cotton material;  an old jersey-knit tee shirt is ideal.  Don't be stingy with the polish&mdash;start off with a generous amount and let the product rather than your thumb do the work.  Double the cloth to provide sufficient cushioning and as the material blackens, switch to a clean area.  A soft cotton flannel is ideal for a final buffing, especially for bright plating.I tested the Griot's polish on a decades-old aluminum Bialetti moka pot and on a chrome-over-brass kettle.  In both instances, it effectively removed oxidation, small scratches, and mild pitting and it left a mirror finish on the aluminum.
My husband decided to use this product on his motorcycle instead of the truck wheels due to the high temps outside. The motorcycle's chrome parts were not hot due to it being in the garage, so he felt the polish would work better. It turns out he was right. He was thrilled to see the polish removed even some of the most stubborn marks on his motorcycle. Since he didn't think these marks would ever come off (he tried with some other products), he has decided that this is his new go-to product for polishing his motorcycle.He'll be trying it on his truck wheels once the weather is cooler. I'll update the review to cover how it works with chrome wheels at that time.
Purchased this polish for my chrome wheels on my F-150 pick-up. Over the Winter I had a build up of grime and oxidation that would not come off with soap and water. I had purchased a bottle of the Turtle Wax version of this cleaner and noticed that is took alot of elbow grease to clean the wheels. In some cases I had to apply it twice. When I used the Groit's metal polish it took me half the time. The paste goes on easy and is a little thicker than the Turtle Wax, so it stays in place. Buffing out was easy and did not leave any powder marks. The shine was life the wheesl were brand new. This is not the first Groit product that I have purchased. I am completely impressed with the product line and will continue to use the metal polish as well as other products.
I gave this Griot's Garage Metal Polish to my husband to use since he is a mechanic.  He used this to polish his motorcycle instead and it really worked well!  So well that he is anxious to try it out on other cars he is restoring or working on.  After seeing his motorcycle, before and after, I would say this polish is a good deal for the price.  The tube is good size and the polish works very well.
I have a lovely bronze sink in my guest bathroom. Unfortunately it tend to collect a lot of water spots. I'd been looking for a good polish when I found this.I applied the polish with a paper towel since I didn't have the recommended cloth. It was easy to squeeze just the right amount on the paper towel. Then I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed... Until the polish turned all black (it was so messy that I ended up putting on gloves), then I buffed that off with a clean paper towel. The sink was much shinier, but it took another rub and buff session before it was back to it's original shine.I was concerned that if I used the wrong polish it might damage the bronze, but Griots didn't hurt it a bit. I'm a little wore out from all the rubbing and buffing required but the sink is shiny again.This gets the job done but requires a lot of effort on your part. It would probably be awesome in an application with a buffer.
I used this to polish my polished Aluminum exhaust pipes and muffler on my Motorcycle.  It cleaned them right up, and they shine brightly.  It even cleaned up the haze that the last polish I tried just couldn't cut.  Very good product.  I highly recommend it.
Over the years, I've taken great pains to preserve the finish on my now nearly 20 year old, one owner M3.  But never before had I taken the plunge and tried "paint cleaning clay."  The idea - you rub play-doh all over your car to clean it? - struck me as somewhat ludicrous. A colleague and fellow BMW addict insisted that it works and that I try it.I've tried it and I'm sold. Cleaning with Griot's clay will be step one in my exterior car care routine from here on out.  Unlike another amazon reviewer, I had no problems with 'sticky clay' on the car or my hands - and no need to don the gloves that come with this kit.  Start with a good wash, of course - P21S "shampoo" or one of the Meguiars wash preparations are my usual choice.  Dry well.  Then generously spray the Spray Shine on an area about 12 inches square.  Pull off about half of the clay provided, spray it well and work it in your hands. Spray it again, then start to rub.  Wipe the car with one of the microfiber polishing towels provided.  Wow.  The surface of your paint will feel as smooth as silk. Those tiny bits of bug, sap, and grime will be gone. And the process itself is a very pleasant, tactile experience. The clay provided with this kit seems to be very mildly abrasive and the entire process is effective but very gentle on your paint.I follow with a fine polish - 3M Imperial Hand Glaze is my preference - and then wax - P21S carnauba or Zymol for me, although there are lots of other choices out there. With that regimen, my "Hellrot" '95 M3 looks pretty darned good.Overcome your skepticism and try it.
This clay bar kit is actually everything you need in a clay bar kit. You get a great amount of clay, Speed Shine and 3 super soft and plush microfiber towels. I really want to replace all my other microfibers with Griot's! I don't use the gloves, though. I'm weird about gloves, lol. The clay is a bit stickier than what I've used in the past, but it doesn't really stick to my hands or anything else. The Speed Shine is great, too, and it smells really good. I'm thinking of getting the gallon size of Speed Shine, which will basically fill up the standard 35 fl. oz. bottle around 3.5 times, making it a better value than getting a new bottle each time it runs out. I have to discipline myself, though. If I start looking at car care products, I feel like a kid in a candy store... I want it all!! Great kit, though. I'd definitely buy it all again.
I am a fan of Griot's, they have some good stuff and lots of videos that you can watch and they explain the best way to use their products. I do buy other brands of car products too.This clay bar thing was new to me, never used it before. I heard about it from when I had my car detailed the last time.Couple things to remember, it is easy, don't press hard, do small areas. I was working on 2'x2' or smaller areas of my car in my garage, use the speed shine to keep it lubricated and fold over the clay as it flattens out.I started with a just washed car and waxed the car after I finished with the clay bar and WOW!! Big difference in the shine.My car is white, the paint needed a little TLC and this was the trick.It is easy to see, or feel, where you need to work the clay on the paint. Surface should be very smooth when you have finished an area, if not just do it again. Took my time and it came out great. My neighbor thought I had my car repainted, did I mention, it is a 1998 model with original paint. It is not a garage queen and it has been parked outside a lot in the last 16 years.I cannot compare with other clay bar kits but this one sure exceeded my expectations.
Okay so this my first time using a clay system to clean the grime off the paint.  All I can say is wow, makes the paint super smooth and shiny just like it rolled off the showroom floor.  Just follow the directions and watch the instructional video on youtube by Griot's.  This is a complete system to restore your clear coat paint.  All you need after this is just some good carnauba was to protect from the elements.  The supplied quantity is good and I think it should treat a regular size SUV at least 15 times.  Highly recommended!
It accomplished exactly what I bought the product for. Even though I had enough Speed shine I bought the kit mainly for the clay but wanted the included micro fiber towels which are a soft great towel to use. You save a some of money buying these combo kits over buying them separate. If memory serves me correctly when buying this kit you basically get the towels free versus buying the items separately.
I thought I had to have this little brush to clean the lug nuts on my three cars. It does work and works well on the lug nuts however it is an extra brush that I probably could have done without. Its one of those things that is nice to have but not absolutely necessary. I found that with good wheel cleaner and most any rag I can do the same job. This brush will probably last a  very long time.
