New Gadgets For Motorists
Monday, 21. June 2010
It’s gadget time again! Just as I was adjusting myself to touch screen technology in cars with the new touch screens able to control the sat nav, heating system, on board computer and stereo I’m told it is now old hat! The new technology about to be introduced is hover technology whereby you simply hover your finger over the key you would have previously touched on the screen and the screen senses it and carries out the command without the need to put your finger on the screen, leaving it clean. How cool is that? I still haven’t mastered sending text messages so I stand no chance but it sounds great as does my gadget/product of the week. If you’re the sort of driver who either cleans his own car or uses a mechanical car wash you know that when the car is sparkling there is something that lets it down, the tyres. They look dull and lifeless and still dirty if they are scuffed but now I have the answer. It’s a new tyre dressing that lasts. You have a pot of blacking that you apply with a sponge applicator, like the quick shine you use on your shoes. You leave for a few minutes and the tyres look like brand new, setting the car off a treat! If you actually prefer a matt finish you can brush the tyres after 10 minutes and you have a clean matt finish. The product is Spautopia Rubber Dub (clever name eh) retailing at £19.99, visit www.spautopia.co.uk. By Graham Hill
