Now they can grit the road

Introducing the Bilt - Hamber Winter Care Kit.Time needed: One full afternoon.Skills level needed: Low.Special tools needed? Nil. We hate to remind you, but winter is coming. From next month, the Highways Agency gritters will be on winter alert and spreading de-icing salts extensively across our road network.

Much of the undissolved salt ends up down drains or on verges, but of late, the Highways Agency has been conducting research into the use of ‘safecoat’, a molasses type liquid which is added to road salt. It may be great for safety, but its appalling news for cars because more will get displaced onto the underside of your car, where it can turn a slight scratch or nick into deadly rust.

So set aside an afternoon and prepare the underside of your car with our winter road kit. It contains 5 litres of Surfex HD, 500 ml of Ferrosol, 1 litre of Hydrate 80 and 2 x 750 ml of Dynax S50; all you need to protect your car from the ravages of winter and road salt.

Firstly, hose the underside of the car to get rid of any debris and mud. Next, apply Surfex with brush or spray - Surfex is a new technology water-based degreaser

with performance matching or exceeding

the most powerful solvent cleaners. Use

concentrated for the most stubborn oily

grime on suspension uprights or wheel

arches, it is also pleasant and safe to use.

Next, inspect the underside, sills and arches

of the car for rust. Use Hydrate 80 to neutralise

corrosion and to passivate clean steel -

massively increasing corrosion resistance.

Hydrate 80 is proven in long tests by the

German TÜV organisation, and by Practical

Classics magazine.

Then, apply Ferrosol to nuts and bolts, door

hinges, electrical contacts etc. Ferrosol

displaces moisture, keeps water at bay and

will lubricate all winter long. Finally, use our

acclaimed Dynax S50 cavity wax aerosol

provided complete with a 60cm lance to

introduce our cavity wax into box sections

and other vulnerable areas.

Simple care, quick and easy measures, but

ones which are going to keep your classic

car rust free and looking good. Buy the kit

now, for just £49, and it might not just be

money you’re saving.
