Motor industry boffins...
Motor industry boffins have decided that colour-coded filler caps and clearer labelling on forecourt pumps may be the only way of preventing drivers accidentally filling up a diesel car with petrol. Engineers have been working for a year to find an answer to the problem. Electronic solutions are considered too expensive to retro-fit to cars and pumps.
For windows and screens...
For windows and screens there’s the microfibre Glass Cloth. Priced at ÷£1.99, it can be washed when it’s dirty and then reused.
Also, the brand’s award-winning wipes range has grown to include cleaners for seats and carpets (right). They claim to shift dirt without dam÷aging the fabric. A pouch of 15 is ÷£2.99, with a 25-wipe tub ÷£3.99.
The final newcomer in the line-up is the ÷£1.99 All Purpose Cloth. This is also made of microfibre, and the firm claims it will protect your car’s rubber, plastic and vinyl surfaces when used in conjunction with Armor All Protectant. As with the Glass Cloth, it can be washed in hot water and reused.
