Being a New-England based company we see all variations of weather conditions. And we've seen more than a lot of seized coil overs and other metal items that have fallen prey to corrosion and rust. This Winzer Tek Wax is the best defense against corrosion that we have yet to come across. TekWax is a heavy-duty, flexible wax that you spray onto metal surfaces and it forms a durable protective film. It was originally used as a sealant for wheel wells, bodyshells, rocker panels, and chassis panels which makes it ideal for un-coated and exposed metal parts on your car. It has a high-quality matte amber finish that is also slightly tacky to the touch. Another plus is that it can give some components an original OEM appearance. We spray Tech Wax on our coilover threads to keep salt and sand from gumming up the threads and seizing the adjustment collars. We also use it on other exposed metal surfaces that don't have any corrosion protection from their manufacturers (steering hose fittings, even fastners and hardware). The finished surface has an amber (gold-ish) hue that blends in with many other hard parts on the car and it has an overall 'finished' look. TekWax is sold as a 24oz aerosol can. It ships by UPS Ground only. Follow instructions on the can for the best and safest results.

Threadlocker is essential when doing any work to your car, especially prepping it for the track. Loose bolts should never happen! If you are a do-it-youselfer, or do much wrench turning, then you know about threadlocker (generically known as "locktite" or by the brand name Loctite). You also know a little goes a long way. This small bottle of Palm Labs Turbo-Lock red threadlock is perfect for that small job -- or a few small jobs! This tube has 10 mL (0.34 fluid ounces) of high-temp, high-strength threadlocker. This bottle comes with two ways to apply: with a squeeze or with the included brush. There are just too many different uses for this, and no mechanic or DIYer, should be without some in his or her toolbox.

Red or Blue threadlocker? Red is the highest strength so use it when the fastener will not be removed regularly or ever again. The Red will need a great amount of force to break free and maybe even heat. Blue is the medium strength and will break free with hand tools. Use it for fasteners that need extra locking protection but will be removed / disassmebled on a semi-regular basis.

Palm Labs Turbo-Lock Series 13-OR Features:
  • color: red/orange
  • Anaerobic Thread-locking Compound
  • permanent
  • high strength
  • high temperature resistant
  • oil resistant
  • primerless
  • acceptable up to 20mm (3/4") bolts
    Equivalent or superior to Loctite 262.
