DRY CLEANING
As summer temperatures soar the prospect of the inevitable hosepipe ban looms. Fortunately for car-proud motorists this doesn’t have to mean splashing out on a garage car wash. The DryWash kit will clean your car without the need for water by lifting dirt off the surface. Simply spray on the solution, wipe down with a damp cloth and polish with the accompanying microfibre buffing cloth. The spray solution and two cloths cost £11.75.

MUSIC ON THE MOVE
With the iPod revolution well under way, in-car entertainment is changing. Some cars, such as the Citroën C1 and Smart, come with iPod sockets, or you can use a cassette adaptor or auxiliary cable to play tunes from your iPod through the car stereo. The only problem is keeping the iPod in a secure position and fully charged on long drives. The new PodGear iPod CarDock plugs into the cigar lighter and charges the iPod as you drive while also keeping it in a convenient position to operate. It costs £24.95 from www.boysstuff.co.uk or phone 0870 745 2000
