Review of Shell X Oil 15W-40

* A Word in your Shell - Like! . . .

Advantages: Good price, good quality, for long distance Diesels.
Disadvantages: Not for Turbocharged engines.

This Shell D40 is part of the Rimula range of oils, this version being suitable for use in larger Diesel engines, mainly commercials, such as buses and trucks. The oil is marketed at applications like this because this is an old fashioned type of oil. It is a High quality monograde oil, not multi-grade, and as such is designed for high load applications, especially in warmer environments. Let me just say that it is not only suitable for the Paris ...
...209 Litre! The Shell oil company has a very long history,they date from 1833! and you can find out all about this on their website, see here:- http://www.shell.co.uk/ I was going tolist contact details, bit in this case there are so many, so I will let you look it up on the website. So, in a nutshell (pardon the very small pun) this oil is for static engines, big Diesel engines, commercial and industrial ones, with no turbo, Oh and not for our winters ...

Review of Shell D40

MER LIN MAGIC IS WHAT THEY SHOULD NAME MER CAR POLISH

Advantages: Can be put on in the sun, buffs off easily, gives great result.
Disadvantages: No negatives at all

...Nottingham just to buy my Mer supplies. That was about 20 years ago and fortunately it's now stocked by some major suppliers throughout the UK and long journeys to buy it are no longer necessary. Over the years I've used this product on various cars in various colours, it's amazing on black cars as you don't get swirley marks that are often associated with black cars. It is by far the easiest polish to apply and you can put on in the sun and take ...
...you look at the price of equivalent products for example Autoglym which is also a carauba wax you'll find that Mer is much better value. Mer is the only polish I know that you can use in the sun without it baking on. I definately recommend this product. ...

Review of Mer Car Polish

No Poor effort from Poorboys

Advantages: Protects your paintwork and gives added shine
Disadvantages: I haven't seen it in the shops, only available on line

...I had never heard of Poorboys products, let alone their EX-P Sealant but I was shopping for some polish and this was recommended to be used with the polish I had chosen. I did a little bit of research and found out that a sealant is a synthetic product which is designed for long term paint protection and also easy application. This particular sealant made by Poorboys is a “pure” sealant and an 'Amino Functional Resin'. It can be applied in the sun ...
...I have noticed about the Poorboys products is that they all have a nice smell to them, this particular one smells of coconut which is a huge hit with me, though of course others might not think so. As I had never used a sealant before, I read the instructions of the bottle’s label before I went about smothering my car in the stuff. It seemed pretty straight forward so I set about getting my car looking sparkly clean. The first thing I did was give ...

Review of Poorboys EX-P Sealant

Natty waxes on and off

Advantages: Excellent long lasting results, only need to use a little
Disadvantages: Only available online, makes you hungry when using it

Until earlier in the year I had never used wax on my own car. Years ago my Dad had asked me to wax his car for him and to be honest it was hard work!! For me washing and giving my car a quick coat of polish was more than enough, it gave a nice shine and lasted until I washed it next. When I bought my new car I knew with it being black I would need to put a little extra work in and set about looking for a wax. I logged on to my favourite online car ...
...Natty's Paste Wax caught my eye for three reasons, the price, that it was specifically for dark paint and the promise of easy on easy off application. Okay I admit being called Natalie the name was also a bit of a draw too. This wax is made by Poorboy's World a company which was established in 2002 with the aim of economy, ease of use and the ability to apply in direct sunlight. Wax forms an invisible barrier on your paintwork and protects it against ...
