Three auto-themed products to splurge on this week

Refurbish with spray-on vinyl

Changing the colour of your alloy wheels or other hard plastic or metal surfaces usually entails painstaking prep work — even stripping the old finish — and then expensive repainting. However, Superwrap lets you simply spray on your choice of colour in a gloss or matte finish (you can peel it off when you tire of the look). Each coat dries in about five minutes, and 10 coats are recommended. It will last about two years, according to the manufacturer. The basic kit provides enough material to cover four 17-inch wheels, with options available for larger sizes. Prices start at $65, getsuperwrap.com.

Keep your cup holders clean

Most vehicles come with at least a couple of cup holders and some have many more than that. And it’s a safe bet that nearly all of them have some sticky, gooey drink residue on the bottom caused by spills and leaks that have combined with food crumbs and other grime. The simple solution is to drop in some removable CarCoasters from WeatherTech. Made from a soft rubber-like material, they can be easily removed for a quick cleaning. Each package of four contains two 3 7/16-inch diameter and two 3 1/8-inch diameter inserts. $19.95, weathertech.com.

Improve your sight, day or night

Driving at night can be tough enough, especially when visibility is compromised by rain, snow or fog. The Lanmodo Vast Pro Night Vision System with integrated dash camera can help you see your way clear through these conditions. Attached to your vehicle’s dashboard, the high-definition, 20-centimetre wide-angle colour screen provides a 45-degree field of vision and can view objects up to 300 metres away in any weather or in complete darkness. The camera’s 128-gigabyte storage capacity can record for up to 28 hours using an MP4 video format. Prices start at $369 (U.S.), lanmodo.com.
