Product reviews

In such a tight field, a high price does the Meguiar’s spray no favours, and nor does the slightly smaller US pack size

As the name suggests, this is another third stage in a maker’s car care process

Minimal instructions do this detailer from Simoniz’s new-look car care line-up no favours

There’s not much to choose between this closely matched midfield pack, but if ease of use is key for you, this detailer from Autoglym is the one to go…

Excellent test debut for Sonax’s detailer.

At under £30, this water-resistant Sakura cover is easily the least expensive on test and offers basic protection.

While we focused our test on indoor covers, this Halfords version is also good for outdoors and claims to be fully waterproof while remaining breathab…

This semi-tailored cover is ideal for cars kept in car ports and barns as it’s showerproof.

For that tailored look without the expense, this Classic Additions cover gets close.

If you keep your car in a public multi-storey or underground car park, the Concours Luxor is well worth considering.

This is the cover to go for if money’s no object.

If there’s a lot of traffic through your garage then this could be the solution for you

It was tight at the top, but this keenly priced, two-tone Cosmos narrowly takes the win

Former test winner is finally starting to show its age in the face of ever improving competition.

Part of Sealey’s Premier range, this wrench really packs a punch and is rated up to 650Nm

Professional quality from this Bosch tool, which comes with two high-capacity 5Ah lithium-ion batteries

Top quality from this compact Makita, which was close to taking the win here

Japanese giant Panasonic finished second in our last impact wrench test, but takes the win this time round.

Made of a hard plastic composite rather than steel like rivals here, this Sealey still has a quality feel.

Another large box, this time with two deep drawers and one shallower one.

With six deep drawers, rather than the more usual nine for a unit this size, Halfords’ chest could be perfect for those with lots of kit in boxes.

It was a close battle for the final podium spot.

The most expensive on test, but it’s easy to see where the money has been spent.

Only the colour, drawer handle covers and a few pounds separate this Screwfix-sourced Hilka from our winner.

Keener price just gives this Clarke chest the win over the similar Hilka.
