Using Holts’ Holiday Checklist and some inexpensive ‘keep-you-going’ products will prevent small dramas developing into a crisis and ruining your trip.
More than a quarter of UK motorists suffer a puncture each year and changing a wheel beside a busy road is both hazardous and time consuming. Holts Tyreweld is an emergency puncture repair that is quick, safe and easy to use. It seals the puncture and inflates the tyre automatically, allowing driver and passengers to stand safely away from the car before resuming their journey within minutes.
To cope with clearing up the inevitable cabin debris of holiday travel, jumbo sized Simoniz Upholstery Wipes and Leather Wipes will deliver maximum cleaning for minimum effort.
Good visibility is essential to safe driving. Summer driving can pepper a car’s windscreen and headlights with sticky insects that normal wash/wiping can’t shift. Award-winning Simoniz Bug Shifter is a powerful, rapid remedy, quickly and safely dissolving insect smears, while also softening potentially damaging bird droppings ready to wipe off paintwork.
To effectively combat summer downpours, the unique formulation of Prestone Screen Wash not only quickly and effectively removes traffic dirt and light soiling from the windscreen, but its advanced Rain Guard actively repels rain and road spray. And Holts Screenies interior screen wipes will help keep a smear-free finish on all interior glass surfaces.
Looking under the bonnet, motorists would be well advised to ensure their engine doesn’t lose its cool. Instead of letting a cooling system leak and the resultant overheating engine ruin your trip, packing a bottle of Holts Radweld could save the day. Its fast-acting formula instantly and permanently repairs leaks in the radiator and cooling hoses, while combating corrosion in the system. You can even use it as a preventative measure to minimise the risk of leaks occurring.
If your coolant level has dropped, award-winning Ready-to-Use Prestone Antifreeze/Coolant is the perfect choice for every motorist. Its unique formulation is guaranteed for use in all makes and all models of car, and mixes with any existing coolant. It provides extended life corrosion protection for up to five years or 150,000 miles, and meets or exceeds the requirements of ALL car manufacturers. Its unique patented all makes all models formulation – which includes a bitterant to help protect children and pets – makesit easy to choose and easy to use.
Finally, motorists can help ensure their engine runs smoothly and most efficiently throughout the summer – all year-round in fact – by using Redex diesel and petrol fuel additives. The UK market leader, Redex is proven to clean injectors and fuel systems, restore power and performance, improve fuel economy and reduce exhaust emissions. One shot in every full tank keeps car fuel systems clean and optimised.
