    We can see clearly now... we've tested the best car screen washes | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When you get a warning light on the dashboard or are suddenly faced with a dribble as you operate the windscreen washers, you know it is time to top up the screen wash reservoir. Many drivers just pour in whatever is on the shelf at a service station or top up with water, but there is a real difference between a fluid’s cleaning ability and its resistance to freezing in winter. A smeared windscreen is a safety issue, so it makes sense to buy the best wash you can and keeping a bottle in the car’

    Best European breakdown cover 2026 | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The summer holiday season means an armada of British cars will be heading across the English Channel as their owners explore the sights, sounds and tastes of Europe. But while a holiday is fun, it’s less enjoyable if you break down hundreds of miles from home with a potential language barrier to overcome. That’s why you need overseas breakdown cover. There are a number of providers, from the household names that we all know, to lesser-known insurers who use intermediaries on the continent to hel

    Best 12V Cool Boxes 2026 | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A picnic or holiday trip could be ruined if you arrive to find your sandwiches are soggy and your water is warm. While a cool box will keep the contents chilly for a few hours using ice blocks, it is tricky to regulate the temperature. A can of drink is fine being near to freezing point, but the cold will wilt a salad. The answer could be a powered cool box or mini fridge. These use a feed from your car’s 12V socket, and most can then switch to mains power at your destination. Besides keeping th

    CTEK CS One Gen 2 battery charger review | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There are 12V battery chargers available to buy for less than £20, so we were keen to see why CTEK’s new CS One Gen 2 could possibly be worth 10 times that. It certainly has some features that are impressive, the most obvious of which is the foolproof automation. Instead of the usual black and red leads for the negative and positive terminals, CTEK’s newcomer senses which way to send the power. This is especially useful when dealing with batteries that don’t have clear markings, such as on a cla

    Say “ta-ta” to your dirty car with the best tar removers | Auto Express (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    You’ve cleaned your car, yet while it looks spotless from a distance, there are likely to be small black specks visible. These are caused by tar thrown up from the road after repairs to the Tarmac, or hot weather softening the surface. Getting rid of them can be hard work, because simply scrubbing them will just cause smears. Dedicated tar removers will dissolve the sticky gloop quickly and are also effective at removing glue residues left by decals and adhesive pads. You need to be careful thou
