Welcome to
Classic Motoring Accessories, the home of Proper Auto Care.
Thank you for visiting our
website. We've tried to organize all our products into categories for easy
shopping. If you are looking for a " car wax" simply click on the
"Wax
& Paint Sealants" icon below. On the "Wax &
Sealants" page, read the first article, "Which
wax is best?" This is a great article and will help you
select the product best for you. For easy shopping, we group together all our Carnauba
Waxes, Synthetic
(Polymer) Sealants, One-Step
Cleaner/Polish/Sealant Products and also list Paint
Care by Brand.
You may have heard about
"Clay Bars". This is the hottest, new, car care product to
appear in decades. These bars quickly and easily remove paint contamination,
rail dust and overspray without abrasive polishing. To learn more about clay
bars, and to determine if you should use one, click on the Clay
Bars icon below and read the article at the bottom of the page, Remove
Paint Contamination.
Compounds, polishes &
glazes are the most misunderstood products in our industry. Many
people assume that waxing and polishing are synonymous. In fact, they are two
different processes. Polishing deep cleans the paint, removes oxidation, old wax
& minor swirls, and rejuvenates the top paint layer. It prepares the surface
for waxing and insures a uniform, high-gloss shine.
To help take the mystery out of these products, click on Compounds,
Polishes & Glazes below and read "Compound,
polish, glaze. What's the difference?"
You can also Shop
by Brand which brings up the
question of why we've selected the brands we offer. Over the last 20 years,
we've evaluated nearly every U.S. consumer car care brand. We then turned
our attention to Europe and began testing the best car care products from the
U.K., Italy and Germany. Lastly, we looked at the world's automakers and learned
what products were actually being used at the factory and tested those products.
From this experience, we grouped brands into a good, better, best category and
selected the best brands in each category for our website. In our opinion,
Meguiar's, 3M, Autoglym and Mothers make really, really good products for the
money. Brands we found offering above average performance included Klasse, Glass
Science (Rain Clear), 303, P21S, Stoner and Wurth. At the top end, we put these
brands into our "best" category: Menzerna and Blackfire.
The rest of the categories on
this page should be self explanatory. We have grouped together products for Tire
& Wheel Care, Washing
& Drying your Vehicle, Cleaning
& Protecting Exterior Trim and Door Seals, Engine
Detailing, Chrome
and Metal Polishing, Glass
Care, Plastic
Care and Detailing
Tools.
