Lexol 1015 Leather Conditioner Spray

Posted by: Auto Buff  /  Category: Car Maintenance Tips

Lexol 1015 Leather Conditioner SprayThe Lexol 1015 Leather Conditioner Spray is a unique emulsion that feeds leather to keep it soft and supple while maintaining strength and durability. Regular use will maintain leather in top condition and not leave the surface slick or greasy, unlike other all purpose products.

Work into the leather with a clean, soft, 100% cotton cloth or Lexol Applicator Sponge; allow the conditioner to be fully absorbed (15-20 minutes) and then buff off the excess with another soft, clean, 100% cotton cloth. Use 4-5 times a year to keep your leather in top condition. You do not have to clean the leather every time you condition, but you must condition every time you clean it. Do not use on suede.

Price: $8.99

    Reva Launches Two New Electric Cars

    Posted by: Auto Buff  /  Category: Car News, Eco-friendly Cars, Motoring News

    NEW REVA NXR ELAt midday on Wednesday 16th September 2009 Reva Electric Car Company (REVA) will be unveiling two new M1 classified electric cars at the 63rd Frankfurt International Motor Show.

    The REVA NXR is a four-seat, three-door hatchback family car suitable for urban driving that can be ordered at the show, with production scheduled to commence at the beginning of 2010.

    The showcar, REVA’s model for 2011, is the REVA NXG; a sporty two-seater with a targa roof that was designed by Dilip Chhabria of the internationally renowned automotive design company DC Design.

    Another world-first for REVA at The IAA is the launch of REVive, a technology unique to REVA that addresses ‘range anxiety’ and acts like an invisible reserve fuel tank. The customer just has to telephone or SMS REVA for an instant remote recharge should they run out of charge. Both the REVA NXR and the REVA NXG will feature the REVive telematics technology. Further technology and pricing announcements will be made at the IAA.

    NADAguides.com Awards 2010 Ford Mustang GT Convertible “Car of the Month”

    Posted by: Auto Buff  /  Category: Car News, Ford

    NADAguides.com "Car of the Month" for September, the 2010 Ford Mustang GT ConvertibleNADAguides.com, the leading provider of vehicle pricing and information, today announced the 2010 Ford Mustang GT Convertible has received the NADAguides.com “Car of the Month” award for September. The fading summer heat means the time is right for cruising with the top down, and there is no better way to do it than behind the wheel of the new Mustang. The latest iteration of America’s favorite pony car takes performance and refinement to a new level with an aggressive new exterior, stylishly designed cabin and even more power from the V8 engine.

    The star of the GT Mustang is the magnificent drivetrain. GT models are equipped with the 315 hp 4.6L V8 from last year’s Bullitt Mustang which is mated to a 5-speed manual or optional 5-speed automatic transmission. Respectable fuel economy figures of 16 city/24 hwy mpg hint at the Mustang’s relatively small displacement V8, but the sound coming from the stainless steel dual exhaust is pure ’60s big block.

    With a choice of body styles and powertrains, there is a Mustang to fit nearly anyone’s budget and lifestyle. The base V6 Coupe has an MSRP of $20,995 while the GT Premium Convertible we tested starts at $35,995. All models are backed by a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
