We wanted to provide consumers and car fanatics alike with a product that is perfect for them both. “303 Touchless Sealant’s ease of use lends itself to the home detailer looking for a safe quick way to protect their car, and to the enthusiast or detailer looking for cutting edge technology to boost their already immaculate ride.” Trico Products says the quick and easy-to-use spray and rinse product provides superior waterbeading protection and a deep, long-lasting, glossy shine. It also prevents UV damage and will help to protect against light scratches.

This cable also works with 16 amp cars by down-rating automatically, making the 32 amp version “future proof.” The cable is five meters long and made out of a flexible lightweight rubber, making it very easy to store and transport.

The Type 2 end of this cable must always be plugged directly into a charge point socket, this cannot be used as an extension or an adaptor to a tethered lead.
