RB Exhaust protect spray

Seen during our coverage of the Toy Fair in Germany last month, RB Products have now released their Exhaust protect spray. Spraying it on your exhaust system prevents dirt, such as tire foam, fuel, exhaust gas and dust, sticking to its surface so you can keep it clean longer. The dirt on the exhaust system can cause cooling problems which can lead to a decrease in performance. The spray can resist very high temperatures and also works very well on the nylon parts of the cars.

Dirtz Tire Mounting cleaner

New from X-Factory, under the Brian Kinwald Dirtz Dialed Partz label, comes this tire mounting cleaner. Designed to take the mold release off the tires, as well as grease off the wheels it evaporates quickly meaning you will spend less time doing tire prep. Brian, who discovered this special blend, had the following to say.

U.S. tires are various compounds of rubber and they all have mold release on them which absolutely must be removed. The glue won’t stick properly to either the tire or the wheel if you don’t clean both I’ve tried everything you can imagine to clean tires, from motor spray to 91% alcohol. Until now, nothing really worked. I love this stuff, and you will too!
