                  For many of us it&#039;s once again time to change to winter tyres. However, the once beloved, but now somewhat spent summer rims should not simply be thrown into the nearest spare space in the cellar, or sent off unnoticed to a cheap tyre storage facility. Damaged alloy wheels need a lot of love and a little QUIXX if they are to impart a &quot;spring fever&quot; feeling again next year. In many cases the once loving relationship can still be saved even when the first small cracks in the aluminium start to show through or the once jet-black tyres show more than a hint of grey. With the QUIXX    Wheel Repair Kit    you can easily minor scrapes with the curb and similar rim damage yourself. And our    Black Tyre Colour    restores a dark complexion to faded tyre sidewalls for up to six months.  
 Most people who drive experience some type of wheel rim damage at one time or another. But purchasing new alloy wheels every time would be extremely expensive and not very environmentally sustainable. However, to a certain extent it is not that difficult to repair them yourself with the  QUIXX Wheel Repair Kit . The secret lies in the innovative QUIXX repair paste with &quot;liquid&quot; aluminium LAT (Liquid Aluminium Technology), which is applied by hand and hardens quickly and securely. 
 A brief summary to illustrate just how easy the repair process is: Clean the damaged area, mask it off, and smooth it with the sandpaper supplied using the sanding block. Clean again and allow to dry. Then apply the repair compound, using your finger and the side of a craft knife to re-model the rim contours. Now leave to harden for two hours and then wet sand the area until the contours are a perfect match. Wash off the treated area once again and let it dry. Now apply several thin coats of the rim paint with a brush and leave to dry for 2 to 3 hours. For the perfect finish, repeat the wet sanding process. One last tip: Smaller imperfections can be treated just simply by sanding and repainting. 
  Now revive the tyres back to their original rich black colour  
 Because beautiful rims only really gleam when they are matched with beautiful tyres.  QUIXX Black Tyre Colour  gives faded tyres a brand new look. Dries quickly, is not sticky and does not gather dust. The anti-ageing process for your tyres is completed in just a few simple steps and takes no time at all ( video tutorial ). How it&#039;s done:&amp;nbsp; Clean the sidewall thoroughly and let it dry, mask the wheel rims, put on gloves, shake the bottle well: Use the sponge provided to apply the product thinly and evenly to the outer sidewalls. In no time the once greying tyres are deep black and silky matt. Treated tyres are also effectively protected for up to six months against UV radiation and harmful environmental influences, as well as having an improved resistance to rain and car washes.

                  Camping fans put a lot of love into their hobby. After all, motorhomes or campers are expensive investments and are accordingly used for many years. According to figures from the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), the average motorhome in Germany was a whopping 13.6 years old in 2018. Passenger cars had four fewer years under the belt. Due to the long service life, which also applies to campers, the outer shell often no longer looks nice. But fortunately, QUIXX’s “surface savers” provides a variety of do-it-yourself products for many problem areas – whether scratched plastic windows, stone chip damage to the windshield or faded tires.   
 During the camping season, the side and rear windows in particular have to withstand a lot. Often, bushes and branches leave unsightly scratches after contact, which not only affect the appearance, but also permanently dull the surface. Thanks to the all-inclusive  QUIXX Acrylic Scratch Remover  kit for €12.95, fast help is on its way. The innovative product shows fast results in professional quality. The basis is the QUIXX Plastic Deformation Technology (PDT). The  video tutorial  explains all the steps. 
 Stone chip damage to the windshield is also a problem with motorhomes; after all, they are often on the road for many miles on the highway: The use of the  Windshield Repair Kit  for €19.95 is – typical of QUIXX – also problem-free for the layperson. The razor blade is first used to remove loose pieces of glass. Next, fix the plastic cross of the applicator with the suction cups over the damaged area and mount the repair resin container. Now pour in the resin and screw in the “pressure driver” so that the mass is pressed into the crack. Then wait four to six minutes until everything is optimally distributed. After the auxiliary frame is removed, the so-called curing strip is applied and the car is placed in the sun for five to ten minutes. Now the resin has cured and the repair is complete. All steps are shown in detail in the  video tutorial . 
 If you want to “fight” paint scratches, it is time for the  QUIXX Paint Repair Pen  (€12.95). It evens the level with clear coat and protects against corrosion and oxidation. Everything is shown in detail in the  video tutorial . Another problem area is faded tires. The solution here is  QUIXX Black Tyre Colour . Unlike many tire sprays, it doesn&#039;t create a speckly shine, but a rich silky matte tone.One pack for€14.95 is enough for eight to twelve tires. The anti-aging lasts up to six months and is carried out in an instant ( video tutorial ). The special paint dries quickly, does not stick and does not attract dust. The tires are equally protected from UV radiation and harmful environmental influences, rain and car wash resistance included.

                  Vehicle headlights are subjected to a lot of wear and tear over the years: UV radiation, rain, salt and dirt as well as poor maintenance leave their mark on the plastic lenses. As a result, these important light sources become yellowed, cloudy or are even rendered ineffective. This can lead to problems with MOT inspections. Headlight restoration from QUIXX can be a great help in such a situation. True to the company motto &quot;Repair it. Yourself!&quot;, the repair kit from the company based in Neuried near Munich contains all the necessary components for an inexpensive and effective do-it-yourself solution. Permanent restoration can be achieved in no time at all – including increased luminosity.   
 The QUIXX Headlight Restoration Kit, is an all-inclusive package for just 18.95 Euro, which includes detailed instructions as well as all the required products. Full instructions can be found in the QUIXX  Video-Tutorial . Step-by-step headlight preparation with polish and sealant can be performed by anybody in no time at all. Additional tools are not required. 
  Old to new  
 Restore a clear view in just a few steps. First polishing: The area around the headlights is masked off neatly and the surface is then cleaned with water and moistened. Next, the sandpapers (2000, 3000 and 5000 grit) are used consecutively. It is very important to always use the sandpapers wet and to clean the surface with water in between. The instructions describe the correct sanding movements in detail, so that an optimal result can be achieved. The QUIXX polishing paste is applied after drying and the whole surface is polished to a mirror finish. The scratches are gone, the lenses are clear and transparent again. Now it&#039;s time for the sealant: This is simply applied, spread and left to work for five to ten minutes, then polished away. Dust, road dirt and UV radiation no longer stand a chance thanks to this long-lasting protective layer. Simply remove the masking tape and you&#039;re good to go. 
  Maintaining value, sustainable and cost-effective  
 The unbeatable price of the QUIXX Headlight Restoration Kit and the fact that it is manufactured in Germany are particularly appealing features. The product, packaged in the FSC-certified folding box also meets the demands of the times due to its sustainability features: The idea of &quot;repairing instead of replacing&quot; maximises customer benefit, ensures maintenance of value, enhances driving safety and is easy on the wallet and the environment in the long term. So what are you waiting for? Say goodbye to weathering marks, thanks to the  QUIXX Headlight Restoration Kits .
