Top 5 accessories for your vehicle

By jjohnson

Cars are an important part of our life, and having the right accessories to take care of our vehicles can make things a little easier. This is just as true when the car is new as it is when it has acquired thousands of miles, especially when the vehicle is our primary means of transportation. Making sure our automobile looks nice gives us a feeling of pride of ownership. Being ready for emergencies is just common sense. Anything that makes control of the car easier, well, that can make driving a joy. All these things can be accomplished with some much-needed accessories.

Road grime building up on our car can not only drag down the appearance, but also damage the paint. This foam car cleaner offers thick suds that will remove the dirt without removing wax or sealants. No need to wait for cloud cover or find a shady spot because this cleaner is safe to use in sunlight. In the kit is also an interior cleaner that is safe and effective on leather as well as other surfaces. The grime will be gone and a fresh scent will remain. For the windows, the glass cleaner will offer a streak-free, clear view. There is even an upholstery cleaner that can have those fabric surfaces and the carpet looking and smelling better than new.

Having taken care of the exterior and interior of our car, let’s not overlook the tires. This kit is going to give us all we need to get that wet shine and deep rich black color we love. Not only is this going to restore the look of the tire, it will also protect against fading and discoloring caused by sunlight. Included are high-quality brushes and a microfiber towel to give us what we need for that perfect tire detailing. We can look like we have just rolled off the showroom floor.

Now that we have gone to all the trouble of making our car look shiny and detailed, let’s not forget to protect it from the weather. This universal fit car cover is perfect for protecting from pollution, dirt, dust, and all the weather events that nature can throw at it. This is heavy duty and made with five layers making it durable and unlikely to tear. Getting in the car is made easier with a zipper, so now we don’t have to remove the cover to access the interior.

There is no reason for us to worry about starting our car when we have this car jump starter. No more waiting around with jumper cables for someone to help us out. Now we can keep this powerful device with us. This works with cars, SUVs, and other motor craft. It is fully charged in just six hours. Once charged, it can hold a charge for over three months. It is more than a jump starter.  This also includes a bright LED light which can be used as a flashlight or emergency beacon.

Dash cams are a great idea for any car. This offers both a front and rear camera with clear views from a 4K and 1080P resolution. It records in Ultra HD and comes with a 32GB card. The wide-angle front and back lenses offer excellent vision and reduce blind spots. This all connects to a smartphone to view for playback. Included in the recorder is a built-in GPS, real-time speed, and other important driving information. Not only does this work for making a record of driving, but also has a 24-hour parking monitor.
