Holiday gifts for gearheads, Part 4

It's tinsel time in Tinseltown and welcome to the fourth list of car-related presents. I hope they’ve been of some help.

Meguiars_ultimatekitcutMequiar’s Ultimate Car Care Kit
While we would all love the gift of a new car, that’s not an option for most people. But how about a new-looking car? Well, clean, at least. Mequiar’s Ultimate Car Care Kit has a scratch remover, polymer car wax, cleaners for the wheels and tires, and even an interior detailer spray that works on leather and sat-nav screens alike. Included in the carrying case is a microfiber cloth.
$29.99

Neon signs
Now we’re moving into the area of gifts that Taste forgot. But this season is about goodwill to all men, even the ones who would hang a neon sign in their house or garage. This one comes in a variety of designs featuring hot rods or classic cars.

It’s a shelf, Jim, but not as we know it. Available as a 1965 Ford Mustang or a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air snozz, this poly-resin rendition includes mounting hardware. Hands up all those who are cursing themselves for throwing away the furry dice.
