WeatherTech No-Drill Mud Flaps are made of an OE approved thermoplastic resin. This durable plastic material withstands the elements and provides exceptional protection for your vehicle.

Because there’s no drilling required, there’s no risk of rusting out a steel fender. The stainless steel fastening system ensures a secure, rust-proof connection.

Currently, WeatherTech has limited vehicle applications but they are adding new vehicles every day. If you would like us to check on the availability of mud flaps for your vehicle, please call 1-800-869-3011 or email us.

Connolly Hide Care – Hide Food

Over-indulge your leather!

Connolly Hide Care Leather ProductsPerhaps the most trusted, reputable name in the leather industry, Wimbledon-based Connolly Leather has gifted leather owners with a magic potion to prevent the aging and deterioration of leather. Hide Care Leather Conditioner restores leather’s essential moisturizers and protectants in a creamy emulsion of lanolin, white spirit, and natural oils restoring and maintaining the original beauty. Furthermore, Hide Care Leather Conditioner is properly pH balanced to offset the natural alkalinity of leather, and keep it healthy.

 

Since 1878 Connolly Leather has been at the forefront of the leather industry, supplying superior quality leather to some of the most sought after automotive companies. Jaguar, Ferrari, Bentley and Rolls Royce consider Connolly leather to be the only acceptable leather for their cars. Connolly Leather also graces the seats and interiors of many luxury liners, the British House of Commons and the House of Lords, and the Concorde, when it was still flying. To reach that pinnacle of excellence and maintain it, Connolly Leather had to develop a care regimen that would complement and keep healthy the regal leather for years. So, they developed concentrated Connolly Leather Cleaner and Connolly Hide Care Leather Conditioner, which will without a doubt, maintain, moisturize and protect your leather, thereby extending its life.

Neglected leather will shortly give away its status: Hardening, brittleness, cracking, dryness, fading… the list of traumas goes on. How to avoid this demise? A regular program of cleaning, and more importantly, conditioning will keep the surface as lush and satiny-soft as the day it was born.

Treat your leather as you would your own skin. A good, deep cleaning gentle cleanser like Connolly Leather Cleaner, followed by the best moisturizer to keep the fibers supple, flexible and strong is proper care. Connolly Hide Care provides all the nourishing ingredients required to keep the leather fibers pliable, soft and supple, as well as attractive to gaze upon. Hide Care Leather Conditioner is scientifically formulated to penetrate the porous leather and supply the necessary lubricants to keep it warm and inviting. A protective layer remains on the surface; an enduring “polish” that delivers a pleasing visual finish that begs to be touched.

Connolly Hide CareFor best results begin a monthly routine of cleaning first with Connolly Leather Cleaner to remove excess dirt and grease. Follow with a nourishing treatment of Connolly’s Hide Care Leather Conditioner formerly called Hide Food, before the FDA caught wind of it being called food). Apply the Hide Care sparingly with a soft cloth, foam or terry applicator or with your bare hands. Luxury car owners report that massaging the Hide Care into the leather with your hands produces the most satisfactory results. Hide Care needs to bask in the sun all day or absorb into the fibers all night to ensure complete permeation. Buff or wipe the entire surface to remove any excess product, then sit back and enjoy the distinguished luxury of your sensuous leather interior.

The Connolly Leather Care Kit comes with Connolly Leather Cleaner, Connolly Hide Care Leather Conditioner, an applicator pad and a microfiber detailing towel for finishing the job with a final buffing or wipe down.

Please Note: We import directly from Connolly of England. The green Hide Care label indicates a product directly from the manufacturer, guaranteed to be the freshest product available.

Connolly leather products are, and always have been, packaged with the green label with the Connolly Brothers logo. If you do not see Connolly on the label, it’s not genuine Connolly in the jar!

Menzerna develops new varnish finish “Power Finish”

It is free from silicone and can thus be var-nished over, achieves a brilliant high gloss without holograms or matting and can be used on all varnishes,most of all the extremely hard, scratch-resistantand dark ones. It is this combination, in connection with its one-step application and its speediness, that makes this new “Power Finish”of Menzerna so unique on the market. “It is a worldwide unique product”, enthuses Product Development Manager Dr. Michael Hauber when het alks about the newest result of his work.

Super-micro abrasives leave a “best in class” finish that requires very little finishing work. Remove your vehicle’s worst imperfections quickly with professional grade Meguiars Mirror Glaze 105 Ultra-Cut Compound.

Meguiars Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound utilizes exclusive, super-micro abrasive technology that effectively levels blemishes and leaves a nearly wax-ready finish. Unlike traditional compounds that leave compounding swirls, Meguiars Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound leaves a deep shine with few – if any – swirl marks! A quick pass with a finishing polish will completely restore the shine and prepare the paint for wax.

The real benefit of Meguiars Mirror Glaze 105 Ultra-Cut Compound is how fast it works! The super-micro abrasives cut quickly to remove 1200 grit sanding scratches, acid rain, and severe swirls and holograms. Rather than going over and over the same spot, you can remove the blemish and move on to the next step. Because #105 Ultra-Cut Compound does work so quickly and with such small abrasives, it leaves a smooth, glossy finish. For professional detailers, Ultra-Cut Compound is a time-saver!

Work at a maximum speed of 1500 to 2000 RPM with a foam or wool cutting pad. Work until the compound starts to dry. Wipe off the residue with a clean Cobra Microfiber Towel. If necessary, follow up with Meguiars #82 Machine Glaze to completely restore the gloss.

Meguiars Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound can also be used by hand around door handles, spoilers, and anywhere else the polisher cannot be used. Use a foam or microfiber applicator pad and rub the compound on the desired area. Wipe off the residue with a clean Cobra Microfiber Towel.
