When Canadian Tire invited me to take a look at the upcoming spring/summer products showcase, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. Being an automotive writer, we usually don’t cover topics that aren’t directly related to the industry.
However, the nice folks at Canadian Tire decided that they would be more than happy to show-off some of their latest automotive products to be released in the spring.
So without further ado, here are my top five new automotive products coming to a Canadian Tire near you (in no particular order)
Rust and salt go together like AWD and a Subaru STI, which is why Metal Rescue will be supplying Canadian Tire this winter with its patented rust remover wash. This rust remover is “Rust’s worst enemy” but is completely safe on materials such as iron and steel along with the human hand.
This bath is designed to be dangerous only to the rust that is on the component, meaning that any contact with human skin will not result in any harm. This wash can be most useful for someone looking to restore an older vehicle by dipping the rusted out components in the bath and removing it once the rust has been eliminated.
Turtle Wax – Black Tire CoatMSRP – $14.99Turtle Wax has a long-standing reputation in the auto industry as one of the premier companies for supplying and manufacturing paint waxes and protectors. This year they have launched the “Black Tire Coat” which promises to shine for months without leaving an oily texture on the surface of the tire. The spray is designed to handle all weather conditions and even survive through those summer hand washes.
Ferrari High-back booster seatMSRP – $149.99Okay, so not necessarily something revolutionary but how could any car obsessed dad resist having their child sit safely in a booster seat that boasts one of the fastest logos on the planet? This booster seat is designed for a child between 40-100 pounds and features a removable back portion that can convert it from a child seat to a booster seat in mere seconds.
3M - Paint DefenderMSRP – $24.99Much like Turtle Wax, 3M is highly respected among automotive enthusiasts and is used extensively in the detailing industry for its polishes, waxes and paint films. 3M has released a spray on film that aims to extend the life of your vehicles’ appearance by absorbing pebble chips and paint scratches. This easy to apply, spray on film lasts for months and easily peels off in sheets when expired.
Everyone loves watching a good Russian dash cam montage on YouTube but what happens when you find yourself in such a situation like the people featured in those infamous compilations?
HP has you covered with the f210 Car Camcorder. Capable of “locking down” in the event of an accident, this dash cam can also give GPS locations at the time of the accident and features a wide-angle lens in the front of the vehicle to help capture everything that transpired. It also features micro-sd storage up to 32GB and can record on a continuous basis by looping into old, uninteresting footage that has been previously captured.
