COOL STUFF TO GIVE AS GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS

It’s that festive time of year again, but a lot of people struggle to buy a present for friends or family. It can often be a bit of a nightmare picking out that perfect item – particularly for those who like cars. We’ve done the hard work, though, so that you don’t have to – here are some top ideas for this Christmas.

Autoglym Polar Blaster £35.99

KNOW someone keen on car detailing or fancy a go yourself? A good-quality snowfoam is a good place to start and is seen by many professional detailers as a great way to properly clean a car. It coats a vehicle with a thick ‘foam’ and helps to act as a pre-wash, making the whole process of cleaning the car a bit easier.

Autoglym is one of the best in the business for cleaning products, but you’re not paying a premium for this Polar Blaster.

Victorinox SwissCard £30

IT’S always handy to have the right tools for the job, and Victorinox is one of the best names in the business. It is, of course, famous for its Swiss Army Knife, but what if you want what it has to offer in a more streamlined setup?

That’s where the SwissCard comes in. It’s slim enough to fit in a wallet or purse but is packed full of really handy tools, including tweezers, scissors and a small blade. It’s also just been released in this cool mint colour.

Apple Airtag

Diptyque Air Freshener £29 £70

GOT a friend or relative who is forever losing their keys? In that case, the Apple Airtag could be the ideal present for them.

It can be attached to all manner of things – from car and house keys to laptops and even bags – and will relay where it is via the Find My app installed on all iPhones.

You can even get them engraved, which is perfect if you’re trying to add a more personal touch to this gift. IT’S easy to opt for a low-cost air freshener, but if you’re looking to add a stylish scent to your – or someone else’s – car, then this classy diffuser from Diptyque will no doubt hit the mark.

Available with a variety of scents, including rose and blackcurrant, it will transform the smell of the interior of the car.

All you need to do is attach it to one of your car’s air vents and you’re away!

Autoglym Professional launches new Spearmint Fogger – The perfect way to freshen up sales cars

• Autoglym introduces new Spearmint Fogger • Effectively counters nasty smells with fresh and minty fragrance • Simple ‘one-shot’ operation • Can add hundreds of pounds to a car’s value • Available at autoglymprofessional.com

Damp, smoke, food debris… All three of these can have a negative effect on the smell of a car’s interior, which can prove a major challenge at resale.

The most effective cure is a deep clean, using Autoglym Professional’s Super Cleaner Sanitiser and Interior Cleaner. But for cars that don’t justify the time and investment involved in a full valet, Autoglym has launched a new trade-focused Spearmint Fogger. The atomised spearmint fragrance is crisp and clean, as well as long-lasting, meaning it effectively hides any unpleasant whiffs.

The Royal Warranted car-care expert’s new Fogger requires just 10 minutes to work, helping to mask nasty smells behind a pleasant minty freshness, thanks to its simple ‘one-shot’ operation – simply press the trigger and leave it to discharge, allowing the fresh new smell to permeate the car’s fabrics.

Its minty fragrance was chosen by the brand’s car-care experts to not be overwhelming, following feedback from users that other branded products on the market had smells that were overpowering in themselves.

Paul Caller, CEO of Autoglym, said: ‘Our trade customers have told us that bad smells are one of the main things that put people off buying second-hand cars, which is backed up by research from the remarketing industry*. Our Professional customers will really value this product, which potentially adds hundreds to a car’s value.’

The new Spearmint Fogger is available to include contact-free home delivery either directly or through Autoglym’s franchise network.
