The ultimate wax job?

For well-heeled drivers, Mitchell & King of Scotland provides a highly specialized line of carcare products. The company bills itself as

“the most unique and exclusive car wax artisans in the world” and based on the prices, there’s no reason to doubt that claim.

For example, the company’s Ultra wax is blended with 78 percent Carnauba that the manufacturer says is the hardest natural wax available. Each 200-millilitre (6.8ounce) container comes in a wooden presentation box and is accompanied by a bottle of anti-UV shampoo and “top-up” spray. The Ultra kit sells for a wallet-busting $995 and is available at www.mitchellandking.com.

A seal for your garage

Many garage doors fail to keep out rain, insects, dirt and other debris. One solution is to install a Garage Door Threshold Kit from Tsunami Seal. This PVC barrier attaches to the garage floor and compresses to form a tight seal whenever the door is closed. The product has also been designed to withstand years of use and extreme hot and cold temperatures. The Tsunami Seal is available in various lengths, from 10-50 feet, and can be installed as is, or trimmed with a knife for a custom fit. Retail prices range from $60 and $280. Purchase from various online resellers, including www.yourgaragepro.com or from Home Depot.
