Top Car Accessories for Winter
With the Winter months coming, many of our customers are stocking up on top car accessories for winter which will make your car safer and also warmer in the cold weather.
Here are our top 11 recommendations for Winter car accessories.
1) Sheepskin seat covers
It is never fun, jumping into your car in the early morning to sit on freezing seats. Sheepskin being a natural material, will keep your car seats warm in winter and cool in summer. The sheepskin is also soft, fluffy and extremely comfortable.
2) Sheepskin steering wheel covers
Your body is now nice and warm because of the sheepskin seat covers, but your hands are freezing with every turn of the steering wheel. A sheepskin steering wheel will keep your hands naturally warm.
3) Rain X Anti Fog
Nothing is more dangerous than driving with your windows fogged up. You cannot see a thing, and you are putting your own life, as well as the other people lives at risk.
A demister can work, but can take an eternity to be effective and also consumes a lot of power.
Rain X Anti Fog is magic! Apply it to the inside of your windscreen and your windows will stay clear and fog free even during the coldest winter mornings.
4) Rain X
If you think Rain X Anti Fox is magic, then the original Rain X is down right sorcery! Apply Rain X to the outside of your windscreen, and try to drive in the rain without your wipers. It is amazing!
You will not need the use your wipers. The water beads away and allows you to drive with a high level of safety through heavy rain. Of course we still advise the use of your wipers. We also have a combo pack which contains both the original Rain X and Rain X Anti Fog.
5) Wiper blades
Wiper blades dry out and become ineffective during the hot summer months. It is highly advisable to change your wiper blades before winter.
6) Roo Lite 220XP
If you are planning on doing country driving, then it is good idea to invest in a good set of driving lights.
Regular car headlights will not provide adequate lighting on country roads and the Roo Lite will give you an extra level of confidence when there is no lighting on the road.
The 220XP lights up the road 850+ metres in front of you and will give you plenty of notice of danger or animals on the road. For a slightly smaller light, we have the 180XP which lights up 700+ metres.
7) Jumper leads
“Hey mate, I need to borrow some jumper leads.” Don’t be that guy. Jumper leads are cheap and every car should have a set stored away.
You do not want to be stuck with a flat battery because you did not prepare. Batteries also have a tendency to go flat more for more frequently in cold conditions so it is best to be prepared.
8) Super Mini Booster
This is the next level up from jumper leads. The Super Mini Booster is a mini portable jump starter. You won’t need jumper leads, or even another car to leech power off of. Just clamp the Super Mini Booster to you battery and jump start your car with a press of the button.
9) Rubber Floor Mats
Muddy shoes tracking dirt and mud into your beautiful car. Don’t like the sound of that? Then look at getting some rubber floor mats. They may not be as luxurious as carpet floor mats but they are much easier to clean, and are waterproof. Just take them out and hose them down.
10) Rubber cargo mats
Same deal as the rubber floor mats, but these mats cover the cargo or boot area of your car. Perfect for trades people, wet weather golfers and that annoying leaky bottle of milk.
11) Car Cover
A good waterproof and breathable car cover will protect your paintwork from rain, hail and fallen branches.
Perfect for the car which is keep under the elements.
For a car which is kept under a carport, a water resistant car cover will be adequate.
These are not 100% waterproof but are lighter and cheaper and will do the trick against specks of rain.
