The holiday season is here and Christmas is fast approaching. For inexpensive, effective and head-turning results, I have recommeded some produc ts that are sure to make the recipient smile! Last year, I received a few gifts that I could actually use! I recommend the following gifts for your friends and family that are interested in maintaining their vehicles, motorcycles and boats! There are many products I could suggest, but I want to keep it simple.

You ALWAYS need clean microfiber towels. You can buy them 4 for $3 at Family Dollar stores. They have a good quality towel and they hold up very well in the washing machine.

For the driver who loves that showroom shine, Adam's Polishes delivers! Adam's has buckets that are deliverable for gift-giving and personal use. They have it all! Tire Shine Applicator Sponges can be obtained almost anywhere but you should avoid any applicators that have a sponge glued the the handle - it won't last long enough to use all of the Tire Shine!! Tire Shine Applicators should be round and all sponge. Visit www.adamspolishes.com for applicators and everything you need to keep your vehicle looking its best.

Your basic spray waxes are always good for quick wax jobs and touch-ups! I recommend Eagle One Wax As-U Dry and Eagle One's Nano Spray Wax for those super fast waxing products. In fact, Eagle One has everything you need to keep a ride looking sharp from roof to wheel. For those of us who would rather use a liquid wax, Eagle One's New Gel Wax is ideal for deep penetrating, color boosting results. Eagle One's Tire Shine Gel is by far the best for longevity and tire conditioning.

For the online shoppers:

Freedom Waterless Car Wash is a best pick for the ultimate waterless clean! With Freedom, you can choose a formula or try them all. Don't forget to include the Freedom Microfiber towles as well as the Tire Shine. Your entire vehicle will look showroom polished!! Visit: www.freedomwaterlesscarwash.com.

Armor-All and Meguiar's both have fantastic lines of cleaners and restorers for leather, vinyl, rubber, plastics and metals and of course, Tire shining implements.

Don't forget your air fresheners!! They always make great stocking stuffers!

Happy holiday shopping!
